This is pre-Olympics countdown and the CP was marked as not available on hotel website. Phoned and booked over the phone, reservation was flawlessly handled by Rose, including hold for late 9pm check-in on 25June. Was upgraded to a corner room (2213) with seaview. Breakfast was good, and the Filipino supervisor Hermis was so cheery : just the kind of... more

We booked this property via Dragonair Holidays for we were told Shangrila Hotel was full. We arrived at this property without much high expectations for in the past three years, I didn't have any satisfactory experience with Crowne Plaza in Europe or East/West Coast USA. I was hoping that Crowne Plaza in China can offer a new dimension. But, it... more

When we moved to Qingdao nearly two years ago, we spent our first five weeks in an apartment suite in the Crowne Plaza Hotel Qingdao. Our three daughters loved the experience: the pool, bowling alley and attentive staff who soon knew each of our girls by name helped our time there become extra special. Over the course of our tenure... more

I stayed at the Crown Plaza on 2 business trips. It's my favorite place to stay in Qingdao mainly because of its fabulous location right in the center of town and next door to a shopping center with a great Japanese supermarket. Good rooms and service...a keeper. more

Not uncomfortable, but considering the festive nature of the city, it is not the best reflection. Service is as expected, somewhat slow and occasionally misunderstood. Rooms are comfortable but dated. Beds feel like little more then plywood with a couple of sheets. Breakfast was good, but the opening time of 6:30 am is too late. Overall, I would suggest this... more

Don't know, what the lady from New York experienced here, but she sounds somewhat paranoic. I wasn't in the bar (BTW not operated by Crown Plaza, Nevertheless, I was in the lounge, and also there, the very nice servers where wearing nice kimonos and only wanted to serve a drink and nothing else), but I took the massage service. Yes,... more

Am I the only one offended by the on-site brothel??? I know this is China, but come on…this is a Crowne Plaza! One night after dinner, my female coworker & I thought we’d have a nightcap….so we went to the Misty Flower within the Crowne Plaza. Bad idea! This is a brothel, not a regular bar! When we walked in,... more

This place is excellent - great service, good location, fantastic food and (if you upgrade from a "standard room") a nice selection of premium rooms. The breakfast selection is superb, the Italian restaurant maybe the best we have had in China and the Asian restaurant at night has an amazing choice of Brazilian BBQ, Chinese and Thai mixture - all... more

(Sorry about my english) CP in a perfect location even if Qingdao has three city centers. Very good view. At the moment a lot of construction as the city will have the sailing olympics in 2008 (the olympics can destroy every city). Service at the CP is very good. Nice indoor pool (sometimes filled with children) but usually you are... more
