Atour S Hotel, Qingdao May Fourth Square Olympic Sailing Center

I recently stayed at this hotel for 5 nights, and while there were some great aspects, a few major issues affected my experience. Positives: • Comfortable Bedding: The mattress, pillows, and blankets were very comfortable, ensuring a good night’s rest. • Convenient Location: The hotel is within walking distance of the sea and the train station, making it easy to explore the area. • Helpful Staff: The front desk staff were friendly and accommodating. • Breakfast Options: A good mix of Chinese and Western cuisine was available. Negatives: • Air Conditioning Issues: The air conditioning only provides heating, with no option for cold air. Even when set to a cooler temperature, the system remains in auto mode with a fixed degree, making the room uncomfortably warm. We had to rely on the stand fan provided to avoid sweating while sleeping. • Bathroom Odors: The ventilation system seems to circulate second-hand smoke, likely from other guests smoking in their bathrooms. At times, the air carried either cigarette smoke or urine odors, which were very unpleasant. Keeping the door closed helped slightly, but housekeeping would leave it open after cleaning, causing the room to smell bad upon returning. Overall, I would consider staying with this hotel brand again, but not at this particular branch due to the air conditioning and bathroom ventilation issues. The service from the front desk was good, but these factors significantly impacted my stay.

All good, this hotel definitely brings me a strongly mind-blowing experience. One thing could be potentially improved is the cleaning of the kettle.

We booked the family suite which has a little door to separate the space - which is great for privacy or extra sound proofing. The staff service is great. The location is a little out of the way from main attractions but the area has plenty of amenities such as convenience stores and even a massage place next door. There’s free tea and coffee at the lobby. The free porridge runs out pretty quickly so go early. Will book here again if I’m in the area.

Very good services from the staff at the front desk. Rooms are clean. Breakfast is varied.

Reception. Service was appalling, they let kids run the hotel While attending to a matter for me , they left me and went to other Chinese speaking customers. Disgraceful Breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of food

Very good service and room is suitable for family trip. 玫瑰 is very nice and helpful - excellent! Really appreciated. We will come back for sure. Atour is our preferred hotel now!
