the Castle Hotel, A Luxury Collection Hotel

On a business trip to Dalian, I found this castle hotel and specially changed my ticket to arrange a one-day trip. The surrounding area is very convenient with traffic jam during rush hour, the view from the room is really good, and the front desk Jeffery I learned that it was specially for the hotel to change the ticket, and I specially helped to arrange a double view room, thank you very much. Checked out early due to morning flight, didn't experience breakfast this time. Be sure to arrange a time to try the breakfast in a 5 star hotel next time you visit! Hygiene: Clean Amenities: complete with smart toilet, mini bar Environment: elegant and romantic Service: thoughtful and considerate by the way, Dalian is really beautiful, the temperature is suitable, very suitable for long-term living!

Great hotel with great views to Ocean and Xinghai Square. Facilities and breakfast are very good.

Unique architecture, fantastic ocean view. The service doesn’t reflect the hotel luxury standards.

## Wonderful Family Stay at The Castle Dalian We stayed as a family for four nights at The Castle Dalian and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Our spacious and beautifully decorated room on the 12th floor offered stunning views of the sea, making our stay truly memorable. The hotel’s entrance lobby is impressively large and elegantly designed, creating a welcoming atmosphere right from the start. For families with children, there is a large play area available, which requires an additional fee. Fortunately, hotel guests receive a discounted rate. Outside, the hotel boasts a charming small park with fantastic views over the bay and lovely landscaping—perfect for a relaxing stroll. The hotel is situated on a small hill, so the walk back to the city center is a bit long. However, the free shuttle bus service is very convenient, providing easy transport down to the city and back. Our room was thoughtfully furnished and very spacious, including a large and well-equipped bathroom. One minor downside was that there was only one power outlet next to the bed (on one side only), and no USB ports for charging phones, which would have been a nice addition. Breakfast and other meals at the hotel were delicious, with a rich selection of both Chinese and Western dishes to choose from. The only area for improvement would be the cleanliness of the restrooms in the breakfast restaurant, which unfortunately were often untidy and in need of more frequent attention. The swimming pool, maintained at 27°C, was not ideal for small children as there is no separate kids’ section. Guests should also note that wearing a swim cap is mandatory. The pool area includes a mini Finnish sauna and a steam sauna integrated into the changing rooms. However, there are only loungers next to the pool, so the sauna experience was quite different from the relaxing sauna visits we are used to in Europe. Overall, The Castle Dalian offers a lovely stay with beautiful views, excellent food, and family-friendly amenities, making it a great choice for travelers visiting the area.
