I called from Qingdao Airport and the hotel reception did not speak English. I had a help luckily from the Airport information who translated where about the hotel is.
2.
No currency exchange service for US$, HK$, or any foreign currency. Trying to take a taxi in the morning, I found this out the hard way on top of the reception not speaking English at all. not able to convey to the taxi driver where I want to go.

Bathrooms (I had to move the room after the first night due to unknown reason) have non-slip mats that was black with mold at the bottom. I did not bother to use them.
4.
Checking out, the reception girl did not speak English, also did not understand the word Bill or Invoice. Just gave me nothing and did not even returned me the RMB 100 deposit credit card slip that I signed when checking in.

With the reception not speaking English at all, I asked my office and home to call me on my mobile phone only.
There are many cheap hotels with all the convenience in Qingdao. This hotel was ridiculous.
