A great alternative to the older 5 star hotels in Dalian. Booked a superior room which in all aspects was superior. Great comfort and atmosphere, quiet, well equipped (DVD, safe, ameneties), very spacious (huge actually) and a very comfortable bed. Good central location. Friendly and accomodating staff although way too many glitches in the actual service offered. Poor/no shop for daily items like cigarettes, magazines or newspapers. Overall great value for money though.
