China Community Art Habitat Hotel

밤에 도착했는데 직원분이 너무 친절하셔서 좋았습니다. 일단 호텔자체는 굉장히 유니크하고 위치가 너무 좋아서 만족입니다!

場所が良い、周り中華風が沢山あり

예약을 하나 방으로 여러개를 잡은 듯 하더라구요 도착하니 예악한 방이 없다구 하면서 저희가 잡은 방보다 훨씬 싸고 좁은 방을 줬습니다.돈도 안돌려줬구요 거기 직원들도 영어를 못해서 컨플레인을 거는데 애먹었습니다 당연 컴플레인해도 듣지도 않았구요 위치는 좋으나 중국어를 완벽히 하지 못하시는 분에게는 이 호텔을 추천드리지않고요 혹시 한국인 직원이 있다는 글을 보시고 이 호텔을 잡으시려는분은 그 생각 다시 해보시기 바랍니다 한국인 직 그만뒀는지 없더라구요

For the price in China, this hotel was not worth it. A water bed? Also, the shower did not properly work and the front desk staff was pretty unhelpful. Wouldn't have expected anything too fancy, but for 20-30$, you could easily find similar accommodation in Qingdao.

初めての青島旅行。家内と相談して宿泊だけ出来れば良いとして予約。 フライトの関係で到着が深夜になった事もあるが、周辺に案内板も無く、建物にホテル名も無いことから非常に探し辛かった。ツインベッド部屋で予約したがダブルベッド部屋しか無いとのことで已む無く同意。 部屋には窓はあるがホテル内部での窓であり全体的に薄暗い感じの部屋だった。 トイレのドアは紙製（？）、シャワースペース/洗面台はベッドの横に配置されており、何でも手が届く場所と言えばそうだが、狭すぎる感じであった。 ベッドの寝心地は意外に良く、ホテル周りも静かで安眠は出来た。 宿泊した３階に朝食スペースがあり２泊共利用したが、メニューは少なく、料理スペースと片付け/洗い場が混在しており食べた気がしなかった。 ホテル内では従業員を見掛ける事が少なく、フロントもいつもひとり。これで対応が出来るのか？というよりもこれで済んでいるという事なのであろう。 ただ宿泊出来るだけで良いとして選択したホテルであるが、1泊￥8,000はどうしても高い！という結論を出さざるを得ない。

初青島で泊まるならもう少し市街地や海沿いが良いかもしれません。比較的手ごろな値段で宿泊できるものの、徒歩圏には特段見所もなく、数軒の飲食店やマッサージ店がある程度です。但し空港からバス１本、「海洋地質所」というバス停を目指せばすぐそばまで辿り着けます。残念ながら帰りは同じ路線の逆回りではなく、別路線を使う必要がありましたが。ホテル自体はかなり年季は入っていますが、敷地の内外に池や噴水があったりとユニークな造り。ベッドと表記はありますが、実際には靴を脱いであがったスペースにマットレスが和室の如く置いてありました。

중국다운 호텔.. 가격 저렴하나 시설 자체는 상당히 노후하여 시설 리모델링은 필요해 보임. 지저분하다거나 정돈이 덜된 느낌은 아니며 그냥 중국식 옛날 방(??)이라고 생각하면 될 듯 함. 가격은 크게 부담없으나 지도보고 찾기는 조금 힘들듯..보통 호텔 생각하고 찾으면 안보임. 주변에는 여러 중국식당 많고 편의점도 많아 굶어죽지는 않을듯함

ㄷ자 모양으로 3층규모 호텔인데 너무 많은 중국 미술 소품들로 가득차 있어 시장통 느낌이 든다. 고객이 편안함과 청결함을 원하는게 숙박업의 특성인데 잡스러운 것이 많아 숙박 호텔이라기 보다 폐기되기전 오래된 골동품과 미술품 수집관 같은 느낌이 든다. 호텔 입구나 통로를 비좁게 만들 뿐 아니라 쾌적한 느낌을 주지 못한다. 정면에 있는 건물 3층을 리모델리하여 아예 갤러리를 별도로 만들어 명품만 별도 전시하는게 호텔의 질을 높이고 품격을 높인다고 생각한다. 객실은 객실로서 서비스되어야 한다. 호텔 식당도 많은 불필요한 식사 요리보다는 몇가지만이라도 품질 높게 서비스 되는게 훨씬 좋은 이미지를 갖출수 있다. 빵이면 좀더 나은 빵, 커피면 좀더 나은 커피, 과일이면 좀더 나은 과일, 요리면 좀더 나은 요리등 앞으로 개선의 여지가 많고 정면 통로의 있으나 마나한 어항같은 수로는 없에고 아예 호텔 정원을 만들고 야외 수영자을 만들어 호텔 3면 객실안에서 조망 할 수 있으면 좋을 것 같다. 객실 기능 뿐아니라 엔터테인먼트 요소가 없이 편의 부대시설이 없어 불편하다. 기본적으로 피트니스와 수영자을 갖출 수 있는 공간이 충분이 있음에도 활용하지 못한 점이 아쉽다.

ビール祭の最中なのでどこも価格が長くなっていますが、このホテルは比較的安価で安心して使えます。ベッドはウオーターベッドでした。少し室内の設備は古く感じますがこの価格なので目をつぶりましょう。

I always return to this hotel. It is truly a unique experience. Every room is different. The staff is friendly and there is always someone that speaks English. The facility is getting a little bit old, but it is very well maintained. There are many excellent restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. The buffet breakfast is one of the best that I have seen in China.

it was awesome stay great location English speaking receptionist overall it was great stay

We read a mixed set of reviews expecting it to be beautiful but musty, but instead were treated to a lovely and creatively designed room, very clean furnishings and lovely staff! We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay of three nights here, it's in a safe and good district, and the hotel itself has a very pleasant atmosphere. Sometimes the amenities were not completely well furbished, but we only had to notify the staff and they very quickly and courteously helped us out.

中國式傢俱裝置比較特別，冷氣總算足夠，但浴室裝飾比較差，弄得大廳滿地水，洗手盤與睡床相近，開水喉的聲浪會影響睡眠！

Good Location and services~

空港バスの停留所から近く、周辺いレストランの多いエリア。スタッフも親切で、周辺の情報も詳しく教えてくれる。

가성비가 좋다는 생각. 마사지 해주는 분들 정말 친절함. 중국어 못알아 들어도 잘 설명해주심.

진짜 여태껏 묵은 호텔 중에 최악의 호텔입니다. 사진과 완전히 다르구요. 방 사진도 다른 방 사진을 붙여놨네요. 제일 가격 싼 방에 나름 제일 비싼방 사진을 붙여 놔서 가자마자 너무 당황스러웠네요. 싼 방이었어도 나름 깔끔하면 그냥 그러려니 쓸텐데 이건 뭐 호텔이라고 말하기도 힘들정도로 들어가자마자 어두컴컴하고 곰팡이에 정말 깜짝 놀랐습니다. 이 상황에 대해 호텔직원에게 말하니 직원들 영어도 못알아듣고 이미 결제한 금액은 어쩔 수 없고 다른 호텔을 알아보라는 둥 제대로 된 해결책 조차 없더군요. 중국어 못하시는 분들이 간다면 더 힘드실 것 같습니다. 매니저가 온 후에야 매우 비싼방이라며 바꿔줬지만 제일 싸다는 방과 별반 차이 없을 정도로 화장실 바닥과 문은 나무로 되어있어 축축하고 곰팡이가 사방에 가득해서 매우 불쾌했으며 방 상태 또한 마찬가지였습니다. 창문으로는 시멘트 벽과 다른방이 바로 앞에 적나라하게 보이더라구요. 위치도 좋지 않고 바로 근처에 제대로 된 슈퍼도 없어서 힘들었습니다.

호텔 안은 중국느낌나게 아기자기하기 꾸며져 있어 살펴보는 재미가 있었어요. 다만 저가 머물렀던 5층 방은 옥탑방처럼 특이한 모양을한 계단으로 올라가야 들어갈 수 있었는데 날이 좋아서인지 방안은 꽤 더웠고, 에어컨 냉풍기능이 먹통이라 문의해본 결과 시규정(?) 으로 여름되기 전에는 작동이 안된다고 하니 저희 처럼 더위 많이 타시는 분들은 선풍기 요청하셔야 할것 같아요.

위치적으로, 운소로미식거리,카페거리와 가까워 좋았고, 한국어를 잘하는 직원들이 있더라구요, 무엇보다 ,직원들이 너무 친절했어요 , 한국어 잘했던 직원분 무거운 짐도 여러번 먼거리까지 들어주시고, 너무 감사했어요 ,친절한 직원분이 생각나서 다음에 칭다오에 가게되면 다시 이곳에 머무르고 싶네요~

호텔 직원들이 전체적으로 친절했다. 조선족 남자직원의 도움으로 원하던 식당도 쉽게 찾아 갈수 있었다.

가성비 최고의 호텔이었습니다. 한국어 직원도 있어 의사소통도 편리했구요 조식도 38원인데. 매우 만족스럽습니다. 중국전통조식인데 다양하고, 즉석코너도 있구요 건물자체가 특색있어서 좋아요. 다만 디자인호텔이다보니 구석구석에 깔끔하지 못함은 보입니다 ㅎㅎ

호텔에서 숙박할때 정말 잘 지냈습니다. 호텔 내부가 독특하고 직원들이 친절하고 서비스도 좋아요. 단점이 있다면 1인실은 생각보다 좁고 살짝 냄새가 나요. 나무 혹은 커텐 등에서 나는 냄새 같음. 샤워기가 고정되어있고 물줄기가 세지 않아요. 그리고 처음에 찾기가 좀 어렵고 호텔 근처에 편의점이나 슈퍼 같은 시설이 없어요. 그리고 까르푸까지 걸어가기에 굉장히 멀어요. 까르푸에서 호텔쪽으로 가는 버스는 있는데 반대는 없는것 같더라고요. 비행기 시간이 아침 일찍이라면 공항버스 타는 곳까지 굉장히 서둘러야해요. 까르푸 맞은편까지 택시타고 가는데 길 엄청 막히고 뺑뺑 돌아서 비행기 놓칠뻔... 단점이 있긴 하지만 살짝 감수할 수 있다면 숙박하기 진짜 좋아요!^^

물침대여서 깜짝 놀랐긴했는데, 괜찮았습니다. 바닥에 약간 깨진거 있는거 말고는 전반적으로 만족했습니다. 직원들도 친절했구요..

위치가 신시가지 주변이라 좋고 호텔자체의 분위기가 좋음

위치 이동도 편하고 너무 아름다운 호텔이네요

*좋은, 편리한 위치에 호텔이 자리잡고 있어서 혼자서 활동하기 불편함 없었음. *서비스도 좋았음. 호텔 아침 식사도 매우훌륭했음

This hotel is located near downtown so it was easy to go everywhere. We just need to walk little bit though... There are many great restaurants around this hotel. The stuff was nice and I was satisfied with their check-in and check-out time. I could take a rest. I was just disappointed about the smell in the room. I felt the bathroom was not clean enough but I enjoyed staying at this hotel. I would like to stay here again.

terrible, modly smell, dirty room......... very very humid room, and no bathroom, just shower space, not enough to take a shower...

황사 있을때 가서 그런지 공기 자체가 맵고, 흙 냄새가 심했어요. 호텔은 고풍스러웠는데... 최신식 호텔과는 좀 다릅니다.

部屋の窓は開けっ放しで、室内に大きい虫がいた。部屋も湿気がひどい。シャワーは霧のようで、シャワーをあびた気にならない。

한국어 가능한 스텝이 있어서 편리하고, 미식가거리 까르푸 까페거리 등 도보로 이동 가능한 위치. 하지만, 객실은 모텔 수준이고, 너무 습해서 마치 덜 마른 빨래 위에서 자는 기분. 제습기 있으나 별로 도움 안됨..

운소로 미식가거리에서 무척 가까우며.. 대형 호텔보다 아기자기한 느낌이 매우 좋은 호텔이었다.

Location is great and hotel has lots of character. Service at the front desk is nice and helpful. But their cleaning staff needs more training - details in room not cleaned well and they tried to say I used one of their lotions which I definitely did not. If you get room on the first floor, ask for a dehumidifier which helps a lot. Overall, for price and location and character I would still recommend!

직원들은 매우매우 친절하고 게다가 조식이 짱~두번 먹을 건 아니라던데 전 맛있었음~ 분위기도 좋고~

房間有怪味，位置普通，但價錢較便宜，附近食店多

毛巾很旧，不卫生！ 洗臉位燈光不夠！ 房不夠光亮！

첫 인상은 호텔이 너무 예쁘다였습니다. 소품 하나하나가 볼거리였고 아빠 엄마 저 이렇게 3명이 한 방에서 잔 것이라 조금 좁은 감은 없지 않지만 너무 좋았습니다. 다시 칭다오에 간다면 또 이용하고 싶습니다~

The hotel is interesting, but the room was small and the air conditioning did not cool the room. The bed had only a comforter and no sheet. Checking in was a bit difficult, since there were no English speaking staff, and minor/irrelevant issues seemed to be exaggerated. In the end, everything worked out OK, but it seemed more difficult than most other hotels that we used.

친절한 종업원들과 호텔 인테리어가 중국풍의 멋스럽고 아기자기한 느낌이라 좋았어요. 시설도 괜찮고 조식이랑 맛사지 등도 그렇게 비싸지 않아 이용하는데 부담이 없고 좋았습니다. 다만 위치를 찾는데 시간이 좀 걸렸어요. 처음 가시는 분은 꼭 위치 숙지하고 가시길 권해요. 여튼 저는 대만족!+

This is a very unusual hotel. Almost every room is different, and the hotel is decorated and furnished in traditional Chinese style. It has a much more intimate, friendly feel than the major hotels. The service is excellent, and there is usually someone that speaks English. They have a breakfast that is about the best I ever saw in China. There is a great variety of Chinese and western breakfast food. The location is good, with many restaurants in the area. It is about a 1 km walk to the ocean near the Qingdao Sailing Center, site of the 2008 Olympic sailing events. It is easy to get a taxi by walking out to Minjiang Road. Don't be confused by the hotel address which is Minjiang 3 Road. I have stayed in this hotel six times on trips to Qingdao, and I am very satisfied.

가격대비 너무 훌륭한 호텔입니다 위치도 너무 좋고 호텔 내부에 볼거리와 인테리어가 흥미로운 호텔입니다 한가지 샤워가 살짝뷸편합니다..'샤워기가 따로 없습니다 천장에 붙어있는게 전부입니다 참고하세요

the room was dark and the decoration old and made its time. But the location is not bad and the service is pretty good. Was surprised that the staff could mostly speaks English.

전체적으로 만족해요.까르푸에서 걸어가긴 가깝진 않아요.기본료 내고 택시타시길. 체크아웃하고 짐 보관 가능하고 한국어를 잘하진 못하지만 서비스에 감동! 체크아웃하고 택시불러주시고,택시까지 배웅!

I was really happy with everything. I really love the main lobby. It's full of exotic crafts, drawings, etc. The staffs were really kind. The price is decent and the location is ok. Much better than I expected. Great service.

평가는 좋던데 왜 그런지 모르겠네요 . 케바켄가요 객실 청소가 3일 연속 안되있어서 4일째되는날 참다참다 방 바꿨네요. 샤워실도 엄청좁고 , 방도 춥고.. 한국어 가능한 직원 있다더니 없고 , 매니저로 보이는 여직원은 불친절해요 . 다른 직원들은 친절한데 여러무로 아쉬운 호텔이네요. 딱 가격 값만 하는 호텔

Insgesamt war der Aufenthalt im Hotel enttäuschend.Wir hatten ein Deluxe-Zimmer für vier Nächte gebucht. Unsre Koffer konnten wir nicht auspacken, da kein Schrank oder Wäschekommode vorhanden. Das Zimmer wurde hoffentlich nach unserer Abreise gereinigt. Während des Aufenthaltes wurde weder gesaugt noch Spiegel oder Waschtischarmaturen gereinigt. Ein Wechsel der bereitgestellten Tassen für Kaffe erfolgte nur einmalig. Die Innenseite der Duscheschiebetür war der einste Schimmelherd. Bei geschlossenen Fenstern konnte der Geruch entsprechend wahrgenommen werden. Premiumsatelitenfersehen kann man vergessen. Alles chinesich, außer zwei Dokusendern. Keine Nachrichten obwohl es in China einen englischsprachigen Nachrichtenkanal gibt (24 Stunden). Frühstückasngebot entspricht nicht europäischem Geschmack. Wenig Toastbrot, kaum Kaffee und außer Spiegelei und Konfitüre oder Cereals nichts dabei. Gute und günstige Restaurants in großer Anzahl in der Näheren Umgebung vorhanden. Wer es Näher zur Altstadt und den Stränden (Beach Nr. 2 und 3) haben möchte sollte sich ein entsprechendes Hotel suchen. Wichitg ist auch ein Stadtplan in lateinischer Schrift - war nur in chinesisch zu erhalten - und ein ebensolcher Stadtführer sind unerläßlich.

지리적 위치도 좋고 방도 깔끔 ㅎ

방도 분위기도 좋았습니다. 위치도 도심에서 떨어지지 않았습니다. 다만 방이 조금 습한부분이 있어서 조절이 필요합니다.

대체적으로 만족스러웠습니다. 직원 분들 중에 한국어를 잘 하시는 분들도 계셨지만 영어를 쓰시는 분들이 몇 분 안돼서 소통하는데 조금 어려움이 있었습니다. 하지만 방도 깨끗한 편이었고 객실 온도도 적당해서 만족스러웠습니다.

Extremely nice staff. Most didn't know English well but a few did and went out of their way to help me. The room and hotel looks awesome and location is pretty good!

로비에서 중국풍의 아기자기한 모습이 인상적이었음. 더블룸은 약간 좁다는 느낌이 들었고, 직원들은 영어에 능숙하지 않았으나 적극적으로 해결해주려고 노력하는 모습이 좋았음. 운소로 미식가까지 걸어가기 부담스럽지 않은 거리이며, 커피거리(민지앙얼루)까지도 두 블럭 정도라서 가벼운 마음으로 산책이 가능함.

가격 대비에는 나쁘지 않습니다. 다만 첫 여행시 까르푸에서 공항버스하차하여 택시를 타더라도 기사분들이 위치를 거의 모릅니다(물론 영어도 안통하죠). expedia사이트의 맵도 좀 정보가 틀리구요. 결국 하차후 구글지도 이용해서 찾았습니다. 중국에선 구글검색은 안되는데 구글지도 앱은 되네요.

日本の出張者には十分なスペースの部屋で、建物がクラシック＋リゾートを思わせる作りが気に入りました。運が良ければチョウザメが見れるかも？

Although the exterior is a little plain, the hotel is lovely inside, with many beautiful art objects. The staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. Someone is always around who speaks adequate English. The hotel is within walking distance of the bus line and Western restaurants. The breakfast is very Asian, so not everybody will want to buy it. The only caution I have is that my room was VERY small, with no view at all (more hotel rooms faced my window). It was fine for me, a single traveler, but even a couple, I think, would need more space. I would definitely stay here again.

가격 대비 나쁘지는 않으나, 추천하고 싶지는 않음

기존 후기들 처럼 물이 테마인 호텔이다 보니 눅눅하고 곰팡이 있고 그렇습니다만 여름이 아닌 가을에 가니 습기는 크게 문제가 되지 않네요. 둘러보니 사진 찍을 곳도 제법되고 한국인 직원 도움도 받을 수 있고. 2박 했는데 청소는 정말 대강. 컵도 씻지 않네요. 침구 갈아주진 않아도 보이는 오물이라도 털 수 있을텐데. 큰 기대 안하면 무난합니다.

공항에서 택시이용 호텔 한자발음을 메모해가 바로 입구까지 잘 도착해서 매우 만족합니다. 리무진으로 가신분들은 그 주변위치를 알기전 호텔을 찾기란 고생하셨다는 내용을 보고 이해했답니다. 저의 여행팁은 공항에서 호텔까지는 전철역 근처가 아니면 택시를 이용해 도착후 30분 정도 시간을 내서 주변을 다녀보며 위치파악을 한후 버스나 도보로 다니거든요 처음부터 리무진을 탔다면 제대로 고생했을꺼예요. 2박3일도 충분하다는 분들에 비해 저는 여유있게 다니는 편이라 3박4일도 짧게 느껴졌어요 ^^ 향신료를 빼달라는 말을 메모해가 음식도 적절히 맛있게 잘 먹고 왔어요..주문한 음식 그대로 남기고 왔다는 분들 왠지 아깝다는 생각에 ''팁'' 그나라에서 여행시 필요한 멘트 10가지 선정..꼭 메모해 가세요 ^^ 영어가 절대로 안되므로 또한 저는 중국어도 안되므로 그저 숫자정도 ㅎㅎㅎ 면세점 이용을 참고 또 참아서 여유로운 여행경비로 살만한 기념품은 딱히 없었지만 맥주는 30캔 정도 사왔네요...다음에 간다면 트윈으로 하겠어요. 더블은 음 비좁고 쿱쿱한 냄새와 건물외벽이 보이는게 조금 힘들었어요. ㅠㅠ

Room is small. Bathroom is small and inconvient, the water from shower is small. No air conditioner works.

sooooooo humid and dirty

좋아요

엄마랑 둘이 여행가는데 블로그보니 호텔이 아기자기 하고 예쁘다고해서 엄마가 좋아하실거 같아 예약함 근데 샤워커튼에 곰팡이 피어있고 방은 눅눅하고 이불이며 수건이며 뽀송보송한게 없고 다 눅눅함 환기시킬려고해도 창문열면 밖이 아니고 이상한 뜰같은곳.. 창문열고 자면 로비에서 얘기하는건지 옆방인지 얘기 소리 계속 들리고.. 한국어 하는 직원이 항상 있다는것 빼곤 맘에느는것 없음.. 다신 안가고 싶은 호텔

먹거리 근처에 있어 밥먹으러 가기 편했네요~ 호텔방은 습기로 좀 눅눅했지만 괜찮았습니다.

지도에 나와있는것보다 쫌 멀어요 그래도 시가지랑 잘 붙어있고 밤에도 안 위험해보이고 과일가게도 주변에 몇개있어서 좋았어요

Excellent. Most of Chinese hotels which face streets are very noisy. This hotel is located in the complex. One complaint is that a front pond smell fish.

The Laozhuancun China Community Art and Culture Hotel is like a Contemporary Arts Gallery and the restaurant is like a Circular Music Hall. Avant-garde architecture, every direction you look is a work of art, rich in local culture, interesting artifacts and the lobby vibrant in the Shandong provincial colours. Buffet breakfast or buffet dinner for in-house guest is the price of a cup of coffee in Sydney, extensive a-la-carte menu available as well. You'll have to be crazy not to eat at the restaurant. I had three breakfasts there and I love the variety of food. I booked two nights in a King room. Before I left, I asked for a tour of the rooms which were all so different and so tasteful. I deliberately asked for an attic room for when I returned to Qingdao for one extra night. The whole ceiling in the bedroom was slanted glass which took a bit to get used to at first but I enjoyed that attic experience. The sheets and pillows were beautiful, the room new, comfortable and very artistic. All the staff were very helpful and sensitive to my needs - especially Yang Luying from reception. It was my first trip to Qingdao and I travelled alone and I was late rushing to the airport for a long international flight back to Sydney via Singapore. The service of Laozhuancun Hotel was first class. I was so glad I found such a beautiful and unique hotel.

the hotel was ok..however, there was a problem with the air-conditioning in the room.The breakfast buffet is great value but i found the dinner a bit expensive. Limited choice of TV channels (no BBC or CNN).

Great experience for first timer to China. The hotel staff was very friendly and most spoke a bit of English. The assistant director is from the States and was more than kind and helpful. Made a big difference in my enjoyment of the trip. The breakfast in the attached restaurant was a wonderful buffet style with a wide variety of choices. Would definitely stay here on next trip!

Excellent. Easy access location. Service very good. Just the hotel room's light was somewhat insufficient. Otherwise it is very nice.

Good staff, warm welcome,unique decor, for someone who like to take photo.

it was a v pleasant experience..for yhe price, the service is very good, decor super cool, and u can see the hotel and its staff were trained to serve witj heart.and attention. location not best but decent, close to the eating placed and a tea coofee shop st... recommended

I stayed for 5 nights. The hotel is full of characteristics, which I enjoy every much. Good location. Not far from May 4th Plaza. The price is reasonable with good staff and nice service. I will definitely go back when I visit Qingdao again!!

Good

Overall, a nice change from the typical business type hotel. This hotel is infused with a lot of china culture elements throughout the hotel decor. Room was small but acceptable for a short 2 night stay. Enjoyed the buffet breakfast as the spread was rather good for a local hotel. Also ate a dinner at the same restaurant and enjoyed it too. Prices were reasonable , food was nice and there was also nightly performences of Chinese opera.

Location is ok, though it will be much better once the metro system currently being constructed is complete. We arrived the first day of the Qingdao Beer Festival from the train station at 5pm on a Friday, and it took us 2 hours via taxi to get to the hotel! Traffic was terrible. Hotel staff helped us figure out what public buses to take, and though they could only provide a chinese language map, the map included bus routes on it which we found essential. Housekeeping service was hit and miss. One day they didn't empty our garbage, clean our used tea mugs, or give us new large bath towels, even though they took the ones I had hung to dry to reuse. When we left on a Tuesday at 10am, hotel staff told us they couldn't call us a taxi to the train station due to the beer festival. We found that hard to believe, but weren't able to hail one down on the street ourselves. Luckily we had enough time to take the bus and traffic wasn't as bad as when we arrived. The hotel provided us with tickets for the breakfast buffet, which was pretty good, but every morning we got hassled, getting asked for two tickets even though we were only given one per day. Language barrier was a big problem. We ended up not having to pay extra for both of us to eat breakfast, but it was really annoying that it was an issue every morning and caused so much confusion. The hotel includes a tea house and artist shops, which was nice. Lots of good restaurants in the area.

Booked a "Harmony residence" room from 12 - 16 July. As I was traveling alone, room size was alright. However, the King bed was actually 2 single bed joined together and the spring of one of the bed was making noise, hence I can only sleep on one side. One of the hanging light was buzzing away and I have to turn it off. Television channels "run" when I was turning down the volume and the shower head drip water once a while after shower makes it difficult to sleep sometimes. Shower and toilet was separated which is good but shower area only comes in curtain which might not be convenient if you are traveling with friends (my local friend have to wait for me in the lobby while I took a quick bath). The room that I was given was a facing internal building room. There is a distance from the window to the wall and I was able to open the window, plus I was on the 3rd floor, hence there was enough daylight and I have no problem with this. Wi-fi in the room was strong and the general one in the lobby is good as well. Service of staff was good and I have no problems with them. They even serve my local friends with tea when he was waiting for me in the lobby. Although my room comes with breakfast but I do not have the chance to taste it as I woke up late.

The Hotel's restaurant serve good Shandong cuisines. The only issue - they only issue breakfast coupons for 1 room (not by how many people in the room).

A fabulous place to stay! My favorite hotel in all of China that I stayed at, for sure.

room a bit cramp to move around. no fridge, no wardrobe for hanging of clothes, no wifi in room but have LAN line.Suggest bring own portable WiFi router for convenience.However service was good at reception as well as restaurant. Breakfast was OK. Plenty of local food around area. 15minutes walk to Jusco and Carrerfour supermart. Opposite Carrerfour, there's airport bus service at half hour interval and cost Rmb 20 only.Takes about 45mins to 1 hr to reach Qingdao airport. Hotel with antique decos and surroundings, feels comfortable.Can buy things on display around all areas.

I am very happy with this hotel choice although the room was a little small and the plumbing could have been stronger. Very quaint decor - full of character and a great neighbourhood for food. Away from the old city centre that can be reached by a 10-15 minute taxi ride..

I love this place! However, I had a few little "problems" on this, my third visit: I booked the cheapest room, which meant that I had a room with a window only into the atrium rather than the outside. I was inundated with cigarette smoke whenever I opened the window and the AC did not to seem to work very well. The lighting in the room was extremely low to the point that it was hard to do any reading or work on my laptop....! Apart from all that, it would be a great place to stay.

Hotel location is very good. Surrounded by good foods operating 24 hours. Bus transportation is nearby too. Hotel Staffs were not really helpful. Free Wifi was down and when we raised this issue, hotel staff did not make effort to render their assistance. When asked for directions, they gave us the wrong information, lucky we managed to asked the locate outside. Breakfast is bascially everyday the same, not really fantastic. Most funny thing is breakfast is only for one person when we paid 2 persons price for the room. You have to pay RMB38 which we think is not worth it at all. The Management need to improve on their staffs' services. Overall, the hotel is unique, clean and comfortable.

I decided to try this hotel due to the great reviews and the price. I did not want to stay with a western hotel chain. I have stained in a few Chinese hotels and I know the standard is different and I accept that. But this hotel has a higher standard. It is very nicely done, the incense burning in the Lobby and shops area is nice. The tea shop is great. My rate included breakfast and it was vary nice. The restaurant's food and service were also great. It is about a 20 minute walk to the water. I will definitely stay there again.

Good location. Nice decorations all around the hotel. However could do much better should better breakfast be provided. Awesome stay though.

Very good for the money. The staff was as helpful as could be. Some spoke english well and those that couldn't got someone who could. The included breakfast was fantastic. The bed was typical Chinese. Hard but most of the clientele are Asian and they have slept on the floor on mats for ages. Would definitely stay again if I'm ever in Qingdao again. It was quiet and tucked away from the busy streets. It compares to a budget rate hotel chain like comfort in or so in the states but lots cheaper no pool and much better breakfast. It is close to bus stops too.

Everything is great except the lighting, it is not bright enough around the sink area and the bathroom is transparent

Great location around restaurant streets. Room was really comfortable. Was difficult to get the room cleaned though - had to ask them to clean the room a couple of times. But, overall a really good hotel and would stay again.

We were very pleased with our stay at the China Community Art and Culture Hotel. In spite of the rather odd name, the hotel is full of charm and comfort. We stayed in the 2-floor 'luxury villa,' which was ideal for us and our teenage son. There was 1 bathroom on each floor, and also a small sitting room as you entered the suite. We especially loved the uniqueness of our room and the others we saw - they were a lovely combination of traditional Chinese and modern styles. The English-speaking manager helped us with any question we had and couldn't have been nicer.

This is a very different hotel. The rooms are not laid out like a conventional hotel, and each one is different. The staff is accommodating, and there is always someone who speaks Engilsh. The room comes with a breakfast that is served in the adjoining building. There are some excellent restaurants a very short walk from the hotel.

Room very small, but very good location! Central to sightseeing, neighborhoods, buses. Good staff with English, and clean property. Good value, would stay there again!

This is a truly unique hotel with features that are unusual when compare to other hotels, be it chain type or individual own. The decorations are most interesting from the front of the hotel, throughout the hotel lobby, and the room itself. The environment is peaceful and quiet giving traveler like myself the feeling of a great vacation. The service is excellent, always ready to lend a helping hand or advice when ask. The breakfeast buffet has both American and Chinese dishes to select from. The 4 rating for comfort of the room is due to its tight quarter although the layout is somewhat amazing for the hotel decorator to fit pieces of furnishing to every available space inside the room, If the room is a bit larger than I would rate the comfort of the room a 5. All in all this hotel deserves consideration if one travel to Qingdao. Highly recommend a visit.

We stayed for 2 nights in early October 2012 and as a 1st time user of both Hotels.com and this hotel we were highly satisfied. The rooms were beautifully different from the standard chain hotel "boxes" and the communal areas tastefully arty. The bathrooms were again a bit different, but great, our shower could have done with a bit more oomph however. The breakfast was Chinese style, but with enough western blandness to satisfy my son (13), my 16 year old daughter rates this as the best breakfast on our 2 week China trip, she is a bit more adventurous. The hotel is located in a very local Chinese area of Qingdao, splendid for us as we came to see China. I am not sure how convenient it is for attractions as we were driven everywhere, but the taxis are dirt cheap anyway. The standard of English in the hotel staff was rather low, but much better than my Chinese and added to the authenticity and certainly did not constrain us. If I am back in Qingdao on holiday, I will definitley stay here again

The CHINA arts and culture hotel is an absolute gem. Small but very well located. Resturants just around the corner. Also close to all major banks. The hotel is excellant in all regards, small but very exciting. artwork abounds everywhere including the rooms, each is different. The staff is beyond excellant they helped me with maps and adresses. They always have at least on or two that speak and read English on every shift. they help me at great leanth to arrange trips cabe and to help me find a number of sights in Qingdao

The hotel management said they never turn on the central air condition system during the mid autumn season. However it's HOT during that days and there's only one window but it was blocked by the wall!

Hotel is also an art-gallery / souvenir art shop. Rooms were stylish with an unusual layout with the bathroom in the middle of the room, with walls around it. Internet was a bit intermittent.

All perfect, would choose this hotel again.

Definitely a great and unique boutique hotel. Location is great and convenient. Staff service is warm, welcoming and helpful. For this value, they offer free breakfast, free internet connection and free daily fruit pack. I think it is reasonably the best value I came across so far. The decor may be found a little different from typical western brands, but you'll love it after a while. Daily housekeeping service is fine. Breakfast buffet offers good variety of chinese and western food and beverages, and I particularly love their coffee. I stayed there for 5 nights and will certainly rate it as my top choice for my visit to Qingdao in future.

This hotel is great for anyone who is bored of the big (soulless) international chains. Charming rooms, each with a slightly different character. The staff are very friendly and always ready to help, even in English. The breakfast is also very good, with both Chinese and Western food and drink (including real coffee!). However, I would not recommend an attic room in winter because it gets very cold and the ceiling is made of glass, providing no insulation. Hot showers were good, room heating almost non-existent.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were very patient with my broken mandarin (though very few spoke much English). The hotel itself was very cool, with lots of interesting art which they claimed was legitimate Chinese artifacts (some of which I didn't doubt they were). It was the tail-end of winter when we went, so the cool moat around the restaurant and hotel were not filled with water, but I bet it is really neat in the summertime when it is. The breakfast buffet was pretty good, with lots of choices both western and eastern, as well as an espresso machine that made decent espresso. Our room was nice overall, but the heater didn't work, which made for somewhat cold nights (when we were there in early March). We were on the top floor, and we were told that it takes a while for the heat to get up there (but it never really seemed to get there). Each of the rooms are a little different, which is fun. Our shower was my favorite part. Overall a very good hotel, and would highly recommend it for the price, and for the character. When taking a cab there, make sure you give them the written address that the hotel has for you to print out, as most of them think that it is just a restaurant, and they might try to tell you that the hotel part doesn't exist.

I absolutely loved this hotel. The design aesthetic in the lobby and the rooms can't be beat. Staff is very very friendly and very helpful. Their English language is somewhat limited, but between my sketchy Mandarin and their decent English we were able to make things work. Make sure to get one of the large room rooms on what I think might be the 3rd floor or above. Spend the extra money because the small rooms are tiny. I had a great room. My only complaint is that they don't have wifi in the room. You have to get it in the lobby, which during the winter (when I stayed) is tough because they don't the heat on in the lobby. If you plan on spending a lot of time in the old German concession this might not be the place for you. It is a 30 minute bus ride - easy bus ride - that only costs 1 yuan. I had no issues taking the bus.

I could not think of a better price/value option in Qingdao! Should be your first choice if you are tired of the large international chain towers. It has everything from a price included super breakfast (doubles as lunch for me) to great service (free bottled water, fruit for afternoon tee and free internet) and friendly staff. Highly recommended!
