On my maiden trip to China we travelled to Qingdao city for a business trip and the stay was arranged by our guests at the Dynasty hotel. I absolutely loved the sea breeze and the view from the 11th floor room which had a tiny balcony and a small seating area along with it. The room was cozy and comfortable . The breakfast and lunch at the revolving restaurant were also nice and provided a nice variety of dishes and helped us sample some Chinese cuisine which we might not have tried otherwise. The restaurant also provided a good view of both the sea and the hills. Overall the experience was pleasant and I would recommend even leisure travellers to visit the hotel.

“Nice location right at the beach”

Although it does not meet international 5 star level the stay was overall very positive with a nice and room with balcony facing the sea and close to the subway station and the old town. The breakfast buffet was not refilled long enough so that when we went for breakfast at 9:30 it was a hassle to … more

“Nice enough hotel, woefully bad breakfast”

During our tour of Qingdao, we stayed in multiple hotels (a different hotel each night in fact), and one of the first hotels we stayed in was the Huiquan Dynasty Hotel. The hotel is a stones throw from the beach, which is great for those wanting that stroll on the sand - we didn't, as it was like 2C at night and with a chilling wind, but I imagine I would have in the summer months. The hotel itself wasn't too bad at all, a typical hotel room in China in a moderate hotel, it was a comfy room, spacious, with good beds, and a view of the beach. It was a comfortable night's rest. Unfortunately, where it fell absolutely flat was with the breakfast. It was pretty disgusting if I'm honest, though admittedly, this may be due to me being a highly Westernised Chinese, but then others in our party (from Guangzhou) felt the same. Breakfast was a buffet, but there was very little that I could eat. There were containers full of pickled veg, cold boiled eggs, leftover noodles and rice from the night before (it seems) served lukewarm/cold, limp browning salad (who has a salad for breakfast man?), and not a cereal or toast in sight. Oh, cold French fries were also being offered - in fact, we were offered cold French fries or shredded cold/raw potato throughout our stay in Shandong, so I assume it's a "thing" there. Anyway, as it is, the food let the place down terribly, BUT, the room itself was pretty good if I'm honest. So definitely stay here if you're in the area, but maybe go out and find something else to eat for breakfast, as it was truly appalling here.
