Very good
Lovely period stay, evocative and comfortable. The room with the sauna was particularly nice and spacious. Beds were comfortable and the shower hot and good pressure.
− The shower is over the toilet essentially and makes everything wet in the entire bathroom- for the money that didn’t feel so good. The breakfast was very average but tasty enough.
There was something on downstairs and there was a lot of noise as the people left, enough to wake me up.
On checkout there was nobody to help with my heavy luggage down the stairs.

Great location in the heart of historic Qingdao
Comfortable, clean rooms in a historic part of Qingdao. Very quiet location, and the Qingdao coastal path is just a few minutes walk away.
− There was nothing not to like, though it’s worth pointing out that this is a historic building and not a luxury hotel, so the bathroom is necessarily basic, though clean and perfectly functional! I thought the breakfast could have been more interesting.

It's just out of the hustle and bustle of the city, but still close. A charming European styled area, near beautiful beach areas

Perfect Place for Family
Vacation in Qingdao
Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Boutique hotel dimension. Family hotel feeling. Historic building modernized with care.
Great coffee served in the hotel, micro brewery 3 min away. Hotel terrace with ocean view. Coffee place with rooftop bar and ocean view across the street (2 min).
Overall, a great location to arrive/depart, relax AND explore the city. Beach(es) 5 min away, Metro Stop 5 min away, with direct connection to both relevant train stations (qingdao and qingdao north) as well as May 4 square (dining, shopping). Old town in reach by cab and metro. Olympic area and highest building with City Observatory 1 km away (nice walk).
One Note: Old narrow streets in the area get congested quickly. Metro is an attractive alternative.
Next time in Qingdao, we will make sure to book here again.

A great stay and window to Qingdao’s past
Excellent stay in a historical part of Qingdao. The staff had good communication and let me arrive early (6am!) since my train arrived at 5:15. I enjoyed breakfast and worked online until my room was ready at 10:30 (normal check-in time is 12:00). The “Finland Room” with working sauna was great! My 12 year old son enjoyed the museum-like / Nordic atmosphere. Only a few block away from the beautiful “Taiping Bay”, boardwalks and beaches. Dinner options (and live Jazz) across the street from the old Belgian consulate turned restaurants is a good option. The staff cooked an early breakfast for me at 7:30am and we made our 8:48am train back to Beijing with no problem.
An amazing stay at the Nordic Memory in Qingdao!
This was my first visit to Qingdao and upon my arrival to the hotel, the staff was very warm, friendly and accommodating. Although there was a bit of a language barrier at first, we did manage to communicate well enough to finalize my reservation.
The room was very lovely and had a serene calmness to it. The facilities in general were a historian's dream as I literally felt like I was living in a museum (even just for a few days). The decor, wall photos / hangings and other relics walked you through a timeline of the former consulate giving you a sense of what it must've been like in the past. While several amenities have been upgraded, it still managed to preserve the "old" style.
The breakfast was nice and the fresh seasonal fruits were absolutely delicious and sweet! I enjoyed every morsel.
I really enjoyed the location as it was walking distance to several restaurants and scenic spots. You could easily enjoy a walking tour in the area and visit the many neighboring European-styled villas and walk over to the beach on the other side. The boardwalk was a nice stretch along the bathing beaches and a great backdrop for amazing photography.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Qingdao for a few days along the beach in a quiet, yet bustling tourist area.
