Great location in busy area”

My ethernet plug on my computer is busted so my only real complaint is to get some wifi in the rooms but wifi in rooms seems to be an exception in China anyways. This hotel is well located directly across the street from the Carrefour so you can get some american type snacks for your room. You can also easily walk to both the Crowne Plaza and Shangri-la to enjoy their bars and such. It's a 5-10 walk down to the Olympic sailing center but only 5 min or less to the actual waterfront. I had meetings every single day and factory tours in the suburbs and cities around Qingdao. My hosts had no problems picking me up at the Copthorne every day.

Good Hotel at convenient location”

The hotel is located conveniently along Middle Hong Kong Road, which is the one of the main shopping and business street of Qingdao and gets you to many tourist attractions conveniently by buses and taxis. There is a Carrefour right opposite so getting some good value snacks or beverages during hotel stay is extraordinarily convenient. In addition, getting to and from the airport is easy as there is a stop for the airport express less than 200M just across the street. The hotel is getting old, but it is clean and well maintained. Staff were very friendly and helpful, with some offer many tips on what to see and how to get to the main tourist attractions. Air conditioning in our room was warm enough for the winter, and the hotel staff were kind to remind us to keep the aircon switched on when we leave the hotel to ensure the room remains warm when we get back.

Recommednation - Yes or No”

1) Regret to say that the hotel is very very old. Current going thru some sort of renovation. No indication of renovation mention, highlighted on my booking confirmation. 2) Room attendant knocking on the door in the morning requesting to service your room when you have the "DND" signage hanging on the door. When you refuse entry, the room attendant will remind you a couple of times to remove the DND sign when you leave the room. 3) Water leakage in the bathroom resulted in a pool of water on the first day, 2nd day the leakage got worst & water coming down from the ceiling. Report the problem on the arrival day but no one attended to my concern. I had a fall in the bathroom due to the slippery condition in the bathroom. 4) You can still see the name of the previous hotel in the room under "Copthorne Hotel". Confusion! If you are traveling to Qingdao, hope you have a nice stay!

Yet again a homey stay. ”

we stay in qingdao somewhat regularly and have 'slept around' at at comparably billed hotels but are very well pleased to revisit the copthorne for a pleasant time. proved relaxing after a day of work and traveling with excellent room service meal. great downtown location. a couple of blocks away affords may fourth square and early morning sea walk. staffs are always professionally solicitous. pool is good. men's spa facility very tired.

Excellent Staff Service”

We approached the Concierge Service Counter and asked for how to go to Laoshan, the staff Felix Zhang explained clearly the route by public bus. Meanwhile, our phone card has fully utilised, he immediately lent his phone card to us. He followed up and contacted us during our tour. He is very professional & helpful. We highly appreciated his service and assistance , besides, the other staff are also very helpful and polite. We highly recommend this hotel for visitors to Qingdao.

High price but quite nice”

I only spent one night in at the Copthorne Hotel because I needed to rush up to Qingdao, and since all the hotels were booked for the beer festival, I had no choice in booking rooms. The place was really great, but so expensive. If you're a business man/woman, this is the place for you.

Grand older hotel and friendly staff.”

we were greeted at the car by a friendly smile from the concierge and helped with our bags into the hotel. we were quickly booked into rooms even though we arrived quite early in the morning with no problems. the room was a clean and good size and the the beds were very comfy. the bathroom was large and a lovely deep bath with lots of hot water. the breakfast was a bit pricey but good food and lots of it. i will definetly stay again for the price, when in qingdao.

Modern hotel, central, good rooms with sea view”

I had noticed this hotel during my last stay in Qingdao. Modern, large, central, good rooms with sea view and a number of English TV channels! Very suitable for Western tastes. Also, Carrefour is directly across the road.

Clean looks tired bathroom is small”

it's a short stay, the airport transfer is just next door. it's very good for travellers going to the airport for just 20rmb as oppose to 100rmb by taxi. Taxi is horrible in qingdao. it's very hard to catch one. Generally the room is really clean and comfortable but the building is old and the bathroom do not have a shower but a bath tub only.

Nice for chillin out, not for sightseeing”

My trip to Qingdao was for both business, and sightseeing. Location was good to shop, to chill out at beach. I got city view, but ocean view would be much better 'cause the hotel faces beach. Most of sights are far from hotel, so you should take a bus to look around. Bus stop is just in front of hotel. Could be convenient for someone who prefers bus tour. For business, it was centrally located. lots of banks nearby, the hotel also has business center where I could use computer for free. very satisfied as business traveler.

Good location, Clean room, Kind staffs”

It was fairly reasonable and I was satisfied with the hotel. but breakfast was kind of terrible even though I understand a busy time. (not only food but also environment.) there was no food, no plates, no cutleries and food areas was so dirty. and non-smokers have to ask for non-smoking room because there are some smoking floors. Truth be told, The hotel is not good enough to be 4stars hotel. By the way, staffs were so kind, room condition was always good and the location couldn't be better! if I visit Qingdao again, I would love to stay in this hotel :)

First Class Experience”

Everyone was exceptionally friendly. The service was great, the rooms were clean, and everyone seemed to make their very best effort to please. I will definitely return here when I am in Qingdao again.

Good location ”

I have stayed here on 4 occasions each time 3-4 nights. The hotel was previously the Copthorne and now it’s the Equatorial. The takeover by Equatorial didn’t result in any refurbishment or changes. This trip I stayed in July. The aircon of this hotel is poor and needs a thorough overhaul. Air pressure is very Low n barely cold. The worse part is that the AC compressor is shut down after midnight everynight even during summer till 6 am. So it gets warm n stuffy in the room. I faced this also last August when I stayed here when it was operated by the copthorne. You need to request a fan from the Housekeeping in anticipation of this when u check in. In winter this is not an issue.

Great location”

there is a Carefourr opposite the hotel so you need to take the underpass infront of the hotel and that is safer because of the traffic. There are many food eateries around the vicinity and if you take a 5-10 mins walk upstream you will come across a row of seafood restaurants. Plenty of good and fresh seafood in Qingdao. Very reasonably price and good service.

Doesn't understan business”

This was my 3rd visit to Qingdao and I use this hotel everytime.I didn't need any fatty foods from breakfast so I tried agoda for the first time.Maybe agoda and this hotel's relationship isn't going good,because the first room I stopped was a floor the internet was broken down.Why should a businessman stay in a room without net connection.They should repair it immediately but it seems to me that a few months has passed after the hotel realized it. but the other points were good,the room clean and spacy,you can buy anything in 3 minutes walk from your room.But one thing,at the coffee shop near the lobby they didn't give me a 'parpyao'(bill of receipt)until I asked for one,it was a suprised that the store employee typed in the register after my 'parpyao' request.

Great Location near the beach”

I had a three day vacations in Qingdao with my parents in July. We had a great time in Copthorne Hotel. The location of the hotel is the best of the best. The deluxe room we stayed was spacious with two queen beds. Looking at the beach through the windown was a plus for our trip. Be honest, the room needs to update. The service in front desk was little bit slow. overall, we loved this hotel.

Excellent Staff”

Even though it was under construction, I was not disturbed at all. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Great location for people wanting to do things in Qingdao.

The location is great and near to shopping centre.”

It was the first time we went to Qingdao. The hotel is centrally located and we can walk to the food street. Public transport is just outside the hotel and we can take a bus to the old town within 20 minutes. We walked to the seaside and enjoyed the sea scenary. Qingdao is a nice place for holiday.

One of the Best Value Hotels in Qingdao CDB”

Strategically located at the heart of Qingdao Commercial Business District, with quick access to various tourism spots including historical landmarks and natural & man-made parks.The hotel staff are friendly and can communicate well in English. The hotel is generally clean from public areas to rooms. Cost of stay is very much affordable if via AGODA.

Pleasant stay and spacious room ”

this is one of my preferred hotel in qingdao city. we had a pleasant stayed at this hotel. staff at the front desk was not helpful nor informative. not able to explain or offer to guest option to upgrade our booking with agoda though we willing to pay the different. they just gave us the simple answer 'not possible" that's it.
