Hidden Hotel Dalian Friendship Square
Four-star comfort within a walk of Zhongshan Square
About this hotel
Walking distance to Zhongshan Square is the fact that separates this one from almost everything else in the Dalian list. From Friendship Square you reach the ring of early twentieth-century buildings on foot in a few minutes, which means the trams, the seafood halls and the Russian Street strip are part of your evening rather than a taxi ride away. For a fan heading to Dalian Sports Center the practical benefit is the metro interchange nearby, turning the run west into Ganjingzi from a road gamble into a train ride. Parking is available for anyone driving in, breakfast is included and there is a restaurant on site for a late return. Rooms are four-star and the guest ratings are excellent. Fans staying here get the rare combination in this city of a comfortable bed and an old-centre address you can actually walk out of.
- Walk to Zhongshan Square
- Four-star rooms
- Parking available
- Breakfast included
Our take
This is the best all-round central booking on the list for anyone who does not need a kitchenette. The walk to Zhongshan Square, the parking and the included breakfast between them cover every part of an event weekend. Fans on a tight budget will find the rate a stretch next to the two-star options a few streets away, and light sleepers should ask for a room off the street on a busy concert weekend.
- Walk to Zhongshan Square on your first evening, it is the reason to pay for this address
- Take the parking if you drive in, spaces in the old centre disappear on event weekends
- Ask for a room off the street, Friendship Square stays busy long after the arena empties
Why we love it
- A short walk to the modern buildings on Zhongshan Square
- Four-star rooms with parking in the old centre
- Breakfast included before an afternoon kickoff
- Excellent guest ratings across the board
