Himalayas Qingdao Hotel

The attached mall 'DaMuZhi' has a grocery store, coffee shops (Starbucks, etc..), fast food (KFC and McDonalds), nicer dining, clothing stores (H&M, Uniqlo) and my favourite store - Muji! Great place for eating and shopping.

Prós: I liked the modern-feel, the cleanliness, the wifi was fast, the breakfast that was included had a good variety and is probably fresher if you go earlier than I did. The manager was nice and friendly when I discussed the heating problem.

Contras: The lack of temperature control in the room is a real problem, it was 27degrees and couldn't be cooled, their only solution was to leave the window open. Not a possibility with the high pollution readings! Really suffered through a very hot hot night.
