2 nights in the Intercontinental in Qingdao were really good. The rooms were excellent, comfy, well decorated and one of the best beds I have slept in. We ate in the Grill restaurant, the service and food were exceptional. I would recommend to anyone. The bar was a little noisy although there are plenty of quiet areas. The foyer was... More

We booked the Intercontinental in Qingdao as an escape from Beijing during the Spring Festival. We decided to be a bit lush and booked the hotel Merc from the Airport (Y650) which by Aussie cab prices is cheap as it takes around 50 mins from the Airport. A local cab (no seatbelts etc.) will still cost you Y120-130 so the... More

Having already written a review of an awful experience (all true) at this property, I write this review to report a more recent experience. The senior management of the property contacted me toward the end of my earlier stay, apologizing for what was admittedly an abysmal failure, and inviting me to try them again. So I did. I contacted the... More

I stayed here one night on a business trip. This was one of the few Chinese hotels I stayed at which was not insanely overheated in winter. My room was crisp and clean feeling with a great bed. The restaurant has an excellent view over the marina and endless items on the breakfast buffet, only complaint the room is so... More

This is the second time I have stayed in this hotel situated next to the Qingdao Olympic area. The first time must not have been in winter or I would not have come back. My room is a lovely modern design but with the draft coming in from the sea it was cold, 18 degrees cold. There was a thermostat... More

I've had the pleasure of staying here twice now and look forward to future visits. The service is good, staff is bi-lingual and the water view rooms are stunning. The club lounge is well worth the upgrade - highly recommended. The is a well-run, modern hotel that understands the needs of international travelers. More

I stayed there for two nights in December 2011 on business. As other reviewers have remarked, the check in process was a little slow. Once provided with the key, the hotel staff were very accommodating. The room was very beautifully appointed and spacious; however, it would have been nicer to have a coffee maker in the room instead of the... More

Stayed there 2 nights. Thought -when seen on the map- it must be quite far away from the center but it is actually nicely located. Lots of Malls, Bars, etc in the area. Stayed on 19th floor with Club Access. Absolutely worth the extra money. Great Room, great Service, great Club-Lounge. Restaurant and food in general was not outstanding but... More

Overall, IC Qingdao was quite a nice hotel, with superb hotel rooms, with a great view. The location was great, only a few minutes away from the mall, and it was also quite close to many attractions. The concierge was really friendly and helpful, but the other staff weren't so helpful, Check-in was quite slow, and the breakfast buffet wasn't... More
