This hotel has become our go-to hotel for our weekend trips to Qingdao. It's cheap and clean and conveniently located. Of course, it's pretty basic, so if you want to pamper yourself this is not the right hotel, but if you just need a decent place to sleep then this is a good choice. Some of the staff speak pretty good English and although they are not as solicitous as the staff at the five-star hotels, they are polite and efficient.
