Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Honestly a fantastic hostel with lovely and helpful staff members. Gave us some great local recommendations for dinner and local activities. We enjoyed the vibe of the local bar/restaurant downstairs too.

    The staff was very welcoming. They also speak English (which is really nice). The entry and hallway are amazing. The room was spacious and clean. The bed is a little hard - but for me that was great. The hostel is located in walking distance the the catholic church and the old quater. Also the pier of Qingdao is walkable. All in all a very friendly place with great value for money.

    There is lots to like about MG hotel, from the great location (next to old town and down the road from the pier) to the friendly staff, excellent food and comfy rooms. The breakfast buffet is sensational as always and the restaurant that is also open to the public has some of Qingdao's best dumplings. The cleaning staff is amazing at their jobs and the reception staff have always been super helpful - even helped us order some things online for delivery to the hotel!
