The Lalu Qingdao

The hotel is beautiful and very luxurious. Service was wonderful and everyone was helpful. The spa and thermal baths are wonderful and we highly recommend! Our one and only complaint was the lack of heating in public spaces including the French restaurant!!! We may as well have been out of doors! They could expand their selection wines also!

Wonderful place to stay, The beach view and the room design was amazing, it's a bit far from downtown but it's the best choice for a couple relaxed holiday. We only tried Breakfast there and it definitely included what we like to have in the morning, cheese, veggies, fruits, etc. A day ahead to our arrival to the Hotel, Mr.Benjiamin added us on wechat and showed the hotel hospitality, he also offered us a free upgrade to executive room. The front desk staff were nice and professional and one of the ladies walked with us till our room and gave us a brief about the hotel. It was a nice weekend thanks to all The Lalu hotel staff, looking forward to staying there again.

We had a couple of wonderful days and Abby has helped us tremendously during the whole stay personally and vi WeChat. For sure we’ll return to this hotel for other vacations time… :)

The hotel is very good, beautiful building in a beautiful place, actually it is not so far from the city center of Qingdao, just 30-40 minutes by taxi. The breakfast was excellent, large variety of foods, Chinese and European as well, they have everything even ice-cream, bakery was absolutely fantastic and good coffee by the way. There is a good road along the coast that is perfect for everyday running and sometimes we used it for a walk, there is a number of beautiful places to take nice photo there. Special thanks to Abby who helped us a lot with all our questions, we could reach her anytime via WeChat, even during her day-off:)

Hotel is nice, but in this 5 star category would expect a bit more for service and extras.

Mr. Benjamin, thank you very much for your nice smile.

My friend and I, had a great time at the hotel, From our arrival, we had a warm welcome from the staff, they were friendly and very helpful and they can also speak English, which made things easier for us.From the reception staff, cleaning staff as well as the restaurant staff, we received the warmest treatment… The elevators smelled nice,Then it was our room it was perfect, from the way it smelled as well as everything that was in it, heated toilet seats, heated room, then the were snacks & drinks that were there upon arrival and everyday after that😊.Lastly the buffet breakfast was excellent, nothing like we had imagined. I highly recommend this hotel for a vacation…we really enjoyed ourselves.

A bit hard to get to, the hotel itself was fine. Exec suite seaview was spacious and nice and clean. View was ok. Infinity pool is nice and long but fairly crowded with lots of kids, no lanes for lane swimming. We had dinner at the Chinese restaurant, which was fine. We thought about having the beachside bbq buffet as there was a whole lamb being grilled, but we had a big lunch and didn’t want to go overboard. We missed afternoon tea which was included in our package, but Wendy comped us some Haagen Dasz and so I gave 5 stars for service for her doing that. Breakfast was so so. Not a great selection of fruit - for the price you’d expect more. Gym was great, well equipped by wife complained that there was no view like other resort gyms overlooking the ocean. Overall, nice place to stay. The room was way better than the St. Regis (which was too small) but St. Regis pool and breakfast and steak restaurant and view were way better. It was a nice hotel overall but not sure I would return.

Nicely designed hotel with great rooms directly by the ocean. The infinity pool is a highlight. The breakfast buffet could be better considering the rate of this hotel.
