This is our Best Value pick for Dalian. It balances guest score, number of reviews and price, so it is not the cheapest hotel in our sample. It suits travellers who want a known chain, a central district and a 4-star room at a price closer to budget level.
Families may find it useful, as family rooms are listed. Free parking is listed too, which helps if you drive.
Skip it if a high guest score is your main filter. At 8.4 it sat fifth of the seven eligible properties we compared. Skip it also if you want details from past guests before you book: our data has no summary of what guests liked or disliked.
Location and getting around
The address is No.189, Tianjin Street, in Zhongshan District. Guests rate the location 9.2 out of 10, clearly higher than the overall score.
Straight-line walking estimates: Dalian Catholic Church is 1.8 km away, about 23 minutes on foot. Dalian Mosque is 2.6 km, around 33 minutes, which is a long walk, so public transport or a taxi makes sense. Xinghai Square is 6.9 km, roughly 86 minutes, too far to walk. These times have not been verified, so check a map.
What guests say
The score is 8.4 out of 10 from 318 reviews. That is a solid base of reviews, more than many small hotels have.
Our data does not include a summary of what guests praise or criticise here. The 9.2 location score suggests the address works well for most guests. For comments on rooms, noise and breakfast, read recent reviews on the booking page before you commit.
