Guanlan Residence Seaview Resort Villa (Qingdao May 4th Plaza Vientiane City Shop) Reviews

The location of this hotel is absolutely fantastic perfect for a nice staycation, it is near the Bay with a great view of the ocean, with May 4th Square, Olympic Sailing center and Third Bathing Beach all at a walking distance. The locality is quite and calm and allows you to have a fabulous experience of the nature and its calm I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Qingdao in a budget friendly way and experience the best staycation. The staff is super friendly, can speak English which is a great plus for foreigners, has a nice cafe which serves some of the best hot chocolate I ever had.

If you want cute instagram pics, this place is for you. I did a 3day staycation. Great things: The host and her family/ staff have amazing hospitality. They will try their best to get you what you need ASAP and they keep checking on you to make sure you’re comfortable. 💕💕💕 Quickest room service too. The place has a very quaint in-house cafe, a bar overlooking the ocean and direct access to the promenade. 📸🌊☕️🍷 Bath tub (the reason I booked there), big bathroom mirrors and proper shower heads. 😍😍😍 The linen and towels felt so fresh and new. Best bring your laptop as my room had a projector and screen for movie cuddle time. 😊☺️😊 But, breakfast menu is really limited. And the afternoon tea “set” advertised on Trip (the 2nd main reason I booked here) was just a cup of coffee/ latte, there were no tea snacks. 🥲 You can though purchase things from the cafe. Or order from Meituin. Lots of restaurants within 2km radius. Overall, a great stay. I’d like to go back when the weather is warmer.

Omg! The view says everything! Any time of the day, the view is just fascinating! Tranquil and private atmosphere. Check-in and check-out were super quick; breakfast was included: sandwiches and milk or juice. The view was simply stunning. The room had a giant screen and projector, and we even watched a movie. Warm and cozy. And don't let me start with that gorgeous bath with this sea view! We enjoyed our stay. There was a lot of space and beauty, and we had a lot of rest. Loved the experience. ❤️🌊

This seaside villa is so cosy. It has a bar facing the sea and a lovely small swimming pool. The rooms are nicely decorated. Good English service.

Very nice. Everything is new. Code locks on every door. Stunning ocean views and friendly and helpful staff. Bathing Beach 3 is within walking distance. Will come again.

The hotel is in a good location, very close to the sea, with beautiful scenery, clean rooms, and very friendly service from the housekeeper Xiao Shi. I give him a thumbs up! A good place for leisure and vacation! Recommended!

I received a temporary notice to leave for Qingdao. My colleague recommended Guanlan, where I had stayed before on a business trip to Qingdao. Seeing that the villa was by the sea, I booked a room casually. I thought it would be very late when I arrived, so I just needed to have a good sleep. The housekeeper contacted and added WeChat in advance, sent the location, check-in guide and introduction of the surroundings. I didn't expect that when I arrived at the hotel at 12 o'clock in the morning, the housekeeper came out to pick me up and help with the luggage. When I arrived at the villa, I faced the sea and introduced the surrounding attractions, transportation and food in detail. After checking in, I was sent to the room and introduced the use of the room and ordering food. It was very considerate and attentive. No wonder my colleague would recommend it. It is indeed different from other hotels I have stayed in. It is very loving and warm! Because the business trip was tight and there was no time to play, I listened to the housekeeper's advice and got up early in the morning to see the sunrise. I walked on the seaside jogging path and came back to have breakfast at the seaview cafe. The coffee was very good. I felt a little like a vacation. The blue sea and the white sailboats made people linger and the spirit of the day was full. If it was not a temporary business trip, I would definitely stay in Guanlan for a few more days. I will come again next time if I have the opportunity!

There was a bug crawling on the quilt when I entered the room. The room was quite humid, and the bathroom was very slippery after taking a shower. Be careful with children and the elderly. I originally wanted to take the children to play in the swimming pool, but when we got there, we were told that we had to spend 99 yuan in the coffee shop to play for 30 minutes. It was a rip-off.

The room is super beautiful, the service is also very good, and you can watch the sunrise

The hotel is a small villa by the sea. The sea view is beautiful, but it is a bit narrow. It is suitable for vacation. It feels good to drink some beer by the sea. It's just that Qingdao is too hot, and you have to pay attention to mosquito repellent.

The hotel is in a prime location, with the sea just outside the door. It is close to the popular attractions May Fourth Square and the Third Bathing Beach, and there is a light show at night. The hotel staff is warm and thoughtful. There is also a coffee shop and an outdoor swimming pool downstairs. It is very photogenic. I like it very much.

Moved from Haitian, the boss was very enthusiastic and upgraded the room. Because everyone said it was very close to the beach, I wanted to experience the sea catching at any time. I found that the best place to catch sea stars is at the bottom of the rock crevices downhill opposite the hotel. You can pick up starfish, which made my son and I very happy. It was the first time I was so excited. There were also so many crabs that I couldn't pick them all. The cafe at night was also very good. It was a very cost-effective homestay experience. The only thing is that the bed is a little small

I stayed in this room in May and it was very comfortable. The room environment was consistent with the pictures on the platform. The overall environment was very good. It was a sea view holiday villa. You could see the sea from the room. In the morning, you could go to the seaside trail for a walk from the villa yard. It was very pleasant. The service of the housekeepers was also very enthusiastic. I will stay here for a few more days next time I come to Qingdao! !

The view outside the window is really nice, especially on the first day, the sky is blue and blue. The room is decorated very attentively. It rained on the last two days and my mother could take pictures in the room. We could enjoy the sea breeze on the terrace during afternoon tea and evening, drink coffee, cocktails and beer, which was very relaxing. The key is that the location is good, not far from the subway and the nearby Haitian mall.
