Qinhuangdao Arcadia Seaside Holiday Hotel

The hotel was actually very nice, but it sure does need a renovation overhaul, rooms were used to put it in a nice way... Location is a bit far from Qinghuangdao, but the seaside is really nice and staff was helpful.. Oh, and the restaurant was surprisingly good, been living in China for many years and the chefs at this hotel definitely know what they are doing..

I was there with my girlfriend, it was a nightmare. Full of kids running around and screaming everywhere, totally out of control. Not recommended.

This hotel is definitely not a 5 star hotel. The best thing of the hotel was our room, nice , clean and spacious. Everything else is more like a 2-3 star hotel at least by western standards. No one speaks English. The hotel promotes on Trip that it accepts all international credit cards , but when we got there they simply apologized that they don’t take international cards. Even after I showed them the page on Trip, they didn’t say much just sorry we don’t. So it was very inconvenient to have to pay with another one that I wasn’t planning to use for this trip. I hope that they don’t make false advertisement with this cause the hotel DOES NOT accept international cards. Furthermore, the pool is mostly shallow water and not very clean. It feels more like a big pond. The beach, is alright however you can only swim in a designated area and that’s always crowded. The whole building is massive but is run down , old, and quite dirty, it is definitely not worth it 1000 RMB for a night. The food is below average, doesn’t match their prices. I wish they could at least lower their prices to match what they actually have to offer. Won’t be back.

The location is great, the night view is incredibly beautiful. But the hotel has very little understanding of privacy of their guests. A hotel personal entered our room without an invite while I was dressing up, another hotel worker took our picture without asking, front desk manager keeps all foreigner passport pictures in her personal phone. Should not hotel provide working phone to its personnels if it’s required to keep personal information from guests on phones?k Also hotel price does not match the service they are providing. The hotel room surfaces was in dust, and they do not clean after each visitor, we found pair of shoes from previous visitors. the room did not provide any drinkable water.

Fantastic location: ice cream, snacks etc but also quite walks in well maintained environment just next to the sea side.

Dogs friendly hotel , good services but the room not worth that money , will try another one next time
