Pros: Everything, from the staffs to the accommodations. The best spot in Qingdao, definitely. Away from the crowd, nice and warm beach in front of Hotel. The best thing was able to use the club. Every time we went there for some spirits, snacks, even some dishes were served. Breakfast was the best part of being club member, not crowded, no waiting, fresh food... we really enjoyed the staying in Hyatt Qingdao. So, next time, if you didn’t try it, go for CLUB access.

The catering/banquet food is really good as well. The service is outstanding -- housekeeping, front desk, restaurants.

Cons:
5,0 Okay
Pros: Hotel is clean and a good location for a business trip
Cons: We were asked to leave the hotel the second day of stay, because the hotel was hosting a big group of people and needed rooms. Even though we hav a reservation for 3 nights. Very poor service. Still didn’t get a refund as well.
8,3 Excellent
Pros: Guestroom and bathroom are clean and modern. The staff is courteous and attentive. The restaurant on the 2nd floor is amazingly tasty and has great portions. Honestly, the food was one reason for me to return here after my first stay with them 2 years ago.
Cons: Though only a 10 min walk to the subway (Line 11), the hotel is far from downtown. One staff member asked me whether I was satisfied with their service, and if so, whether I was willing to write a positive review (while pointing at her name tag). Very awkward, but not as aggressive as an employee at Shangri-La Hotel downtown who asked me to write a positive review that mentions his name on his handheld device while he was looking on. There must be some newly instituted incentive structure in some of these hotels since my travel in Qingdao last year.
7,0 Good
Pros: I’m vegetarian. I hope they could give more options for vegetarian foods.
Cons: The Chinese food restaurant in the hotel is quite costly
9,6 Excellent
Pros: The room was very good, the bed and shower
Cons: Both rooms we had were cold and couldn't make it warmer. The Hotel did not manage to solve this, even with an extra heater they brought to each room
8,3 Excellent
Pros: The food quality at the hotel restaurant was excellent, and it was amazingly priced too!
Cons: The breakfast buffet seems overpriced for its average quality. Many restaurant employees need additional training about how to speak softly and professionally to guests and among themselves. Their way of loud speaking, though typical in China, is not in keeping with the image of an hotel catering to international guests.
10,0 Excellent
Pros: Very nice staff. Spotless. Nice rooms. Good wifi signal. Pretty views from patio. There aren't really any other places to eat nearby, but the breakfast buffet was good (ask if there's a discount) and room service prompt and reasonably priced. The catering/banquet food is really good as well. The service is outstanding -- housekeeping, front desk, restaurants.
Cons: If you're in this area for a particular reason (as I was) it's a first choice. But you really can't walk to many places from here. It's between two metro stops so you can get around -- but the walk isn't a short one to the station.
