Dalian Hotels with Balcony

"This hotel's location is genuinely brilliant, right in the city centre next to the Zhongshan subway and plaza, and for this price point, you really can't ask for better. The staff were friendly and helpful despite the language barrier (Google Translate sorted us out fine), and the cleaning team were lovely too. The room was decent and properly clean, I checked for dust and there wasn't any. However, the hotel is quite old, and there was some mould on the ceiling and in the bathroom and shower curtain. It didn't bother me personally, but worth noting, and a bit of spray would be great. That said, Dalian was incredibly humid when I visited in late August, so I suspect this is partly a climate issue. Even my own towels wouldn't dry properly. The place was quite busy, mainly Chinese customers, but they were quiet and discreet. Practical bits: they provide two bottles of water daily and disposable paper towels (which actually came in handy given the humidity). The room also had a washing machine (bring your own detergent) and you can hang clothes outside on the 9th floor veranda. There's a bus stop right outside with direct services to Xian Lu (shopping and basement food market) and the Transport University area night market, the subway goes straight to the airport, and you're walking distance from the main tourist spots like Russian Street, the old tram etc. Plenty of restaurants nearby too. And two convenience stores on ground floor. This place accepts foreign tourists and check-in was quick and easy. Internet was fast but slower in the evenings. Honestly, some of the complaints I've read here seem a bit harsh considering what you're paying. You get what you pay for, and at this price point in this location, I think it's fair value. I'd stay here again, especially if travelling on a budget. Thank you, we had a lovely time in Dalian!"

"This hotel is right next to Xinghai Park, and our room had a direct sea view. There's a bus stop, light rail, and subway station not too far away, making transportation really convenient. The room itself was quite spacious, and the facilities and cleanliness were great. The staff were also very welcoming and helpful. Overall, it was an excellent stay, especially since the price didn't increase much during a holiday weekend, so it offered fantastic value for money."

"Facilities: High-end and professional. Cleanliness: Spotless. The stay felt incredibly comfortable. Environment: Superb! Even staying in the room felt amazing; the sea view room was absolutely fantastic. Service: Very attentive and professional."

"Traveling to Dalian for the May Day holiday, we spent the last two days at Jinshitan. Having stayed at InterContinental properties many times before, I chose it again. I received a call a day in advance asking for my arrival time and confirming hotel requests, which was great! We arrived quite late, and the front desk staff, Amber, was very attentive. To my surprise, we even got an upgrade during the May Day holiday and a welcome fruit platter. The hotel's location is pretty good; it's about a 15-minute walk from the light rail station, and the beach is very close, right next to Gate 4. During the May Day holiday, there was a shuttle bus service to the scenic spots, running once an hour. The front desk staff made sure to inform and explain this to every guest, which was excellent. Also, the hotel's earplugs were very effective, and I slept really well."
