Jinyuwan Hotel
Very cheap rooms with breakfast, a long way out
About this hotel
Breakfast at this rate is genuinely unusual, and it is the reason this small property is worth naming among the cheapest options for an event at Dalian Sports Center. The room itself is basic and the guest sample is small, but the scores that exist are excellent, which counts for something in a price band where consistency is rare. The honest problem is distance. This sits well outside the Dalian core, with a long taxi run to Zhoushuizi International Airport and a longer one to Ganjingzi, so a fan without a car will spend real time getting to and from the complex. Fans staying here are buying a meal and a bed for almost nothing and paying for it in travel. On an afternoon fixture that maths works; on a late-finishing arena concert it stops working entirely, and the ride back becomes the expensive part.
- Breakfast included
- Very low rate
- Far from the complex
- Small and quiet
Our take
Book this only if you are driving or if the fixture is early enough that the journey home happens in daylight. The rate and the included breakfast are hard to beat for what they are. Anyone relying on public transport to reach Ganjingzi should choose one of the old-centre budget rooms instead, because the saving here disappears the moment you need a taxi after dark.
- Keep this one for an afternoon kickoff, the return after a night fixture is where the saving vanishes
- Eat the included breakfast, there is very little around the building at any hour
- Only book it if you are driving, no useful transport link runs from here to Ganjingzi
Why we love it
- Breakfast included at close to the lowest rate here
- Excellent scores from the guests who have stayed
- Genuinely quiet nights well away from the crowds
- Simple, honest rooms with no hidden extras
