This hotel is set in the older part of Qingdao. It is a beautiful property. The hotel itself is a bit dated but nice. Beds are hard and toilets are fancy! Staff is very helpful!

Great Hotel in Old Buildings
Great location for my purpose. I booked 2 standard rooms but was told not available. The hotel offered us a free-upgrade - a 3-bedroom suite with large family room, all in the attics of an older building. Tired of modern hotels, we gladly accepted.

Clean & Tidy Hotel - worth the value
It was a professional business hotel. The premises is decent & tidy. Breakfast is average but so are some better hotels. Overall a recommend to business travelers.
Me and my girl friend booked a suite, We liked the view outside, and the castle is pretty chill, very quite place. No body can bother you over there, and the service is good too. front desk call the text for us to the airport, the breakfast was good too. the room was clean, but there was cigarette butt on the balcony otherwise it will be perfect. over all we had a good time.
A friend and I stayed for just one night. It was a great, cute hotel right next to the German ex-Governor's Mansion Museum. Easy walk to a bunch of things. Staff was great.
This hotel is in the German section of Qingdao. The hotel is very clean, and service is good. There is an excellent breakfast that comes with the room. The hotel is decorated with many art works, and is interesting just for that. Staying at this hotel is more like a European experience than a Chinese experience. The surrounding area is nice, but a little difficult to find a taxi to other parts of the city. Make sure you ask the hotel to call a taxi rather than wander out into the streets.
Only if you're looking for somewhere far enough in
Look, the main reason to stay in this hotel is if you want a remote location away from the city with a beautiful view. there is no other reason to stay in this location: it is about an hour to two hour drive from all the factories and it's far from the city (about 15 to 20 minute cab ride), there are no restaurants in the area and nothing to do around the area. The Hotel itself is nice it's not like the pictures though, it's like walking in to someone's living room: the lobby looks like a nice, like a living room, the rooms are nice and cozy, the hotel is very very strange but it has a nice strangest. The Wi-Fi doesn't work and there are no English channels on TV is a bit of a Only if you're looking for somewhere far enough in the centerbummer . The breakfast is wonderful , we had dinner one night in the German restaurant it's way overpriced but it was the only place around.
The adjustment of the Heater in room was not functioning well, it kept blowing hot air, made the room "too warm" which made us a bit uncomfortable.
We stayed two days, the breakfast for sunday morning, had more to choose but some were cold already when we arrived the restaurant. For monday morning, the breakfast served as per our orders, our breakfast is warmer but choices were a bit less.

A boutique hotel with historical charm.
The Castle Hotel is a wonderful place to stay if you want to have a unique experience in Qingdao related to the German related history of this city. This boutique hotel offers you that. The beds are very firm in the Chinese style, but the rooms have more of a home or bed and breakfast feel than a regular hotel. There are no elevators, so that might be a concern for some, but the hotel staff will handle your luggage for you as needed.
The hotel is located on the beautiful grounds of the German "governors" residence located above the city with wonderful views.
If you are looking for an escape from the ordinary, you may well enjoy this place.

Mediocre all-around
Quality did not match expectations for a 4-5 star hotel. The rooms and hotel were all quite dated and the service was lacking. Would not recommend and suggest staying in a luxury chain instead.
The surrounding is excellent, feeling in a resort. Located next to a park, close to residential alleys where a lot of Chinese authors and academics use to live. 15 minutes walk to the beaches. Staff are excellent, very caring and understanding. Superb service! We travel with my elderly parents. Staff keep an eye on them all the time. The only downside is the inconvenience to get the taxi. Hotel is inside the courtyard of the State Guest House. No taxi waiting. The staff at the gate have to stop passing by taxi. It may take a while. Other than this, everything else is excellent.
A good place if you like walking around and aren't obsessed with modern 4 and 5 * hotels. This one is a bit quirky, slightly run down compared with modern hotels, but I liked it. The Rats Keller restaurant was good value and I enjoyed most of their food. However, drinks selection is limited. Just try asking for Tsingtao Stout - good luck!
The picture shows the neibour museum. I expected to stay in a castle, but it is the guessroom building of the castle. Disapointing. Mold in the room. Overpriced!
