Le Méridien Qingdao

공기가 안좋아 방 한번 바꿨어요

This was my second visit, following last year. I was very satisfied with my previous stay, so this time I decided to stay longer. The hotel still offers great value for the price. All the staff were friendly, and the hotel was clean and well maintained. However, I noticed that the quality of the fruit at breakfast was slightly lower compared to last year. I also remember the club happy hour menu being more varied and generous during my previous stay. The large shopping mall next door is still very convenient for dining and entertainment.

너무깨끗해요

とても便利な場所だった。朝食も美味しかった。

I recently stayed at Le Méridien Qingdao, expecting the refined experience showcased on Hotels.com and associated with the Marriott brand. Unfortunately, the reality fell short in several areas. Firstly, communication was unexpectedly difficult — none of the front desk staff spoke English, and all interactions had to be conducted via translation apps. This made even basic requests time-consuming and frustrating, especially at a supposedly international hotel. Secondly, I had specifically booked a smoking room, only to be told on arrival that the hotel is entirely non-smoking. I was informed that the website is outdated — but surely this is something that should be addressed by now, especially on major booking platforms. The bathroom area, particularly the wooden features and floor tiles, felt worn and in need of renovation. It detracted from what was otherwise a well-appointed, spacious room with a lovely view from a high floor. I appreciated the generous amenities and thoughtful touches throughout the room. One final inconvenience: the glass-topped desk rendered my mouse unusable, which made working from the room uncomfortable — a surprising oversight in a business hotel. In short, while the room had its positives, the lack of English-speaking staff, misleading booking information, and some maintenance issues made this stay less than satisfying. With a few improvements, this property could live up to the Le Méridien name.
