A fantastic hotel, with a Southeast Asian-inspired jungle in the lobby. It was very fun to be in such a unique hotel. The hotel seems to be split into three sections - savannah, sea, and forest. The corridors and rooms in all three were very nicely decorated with the artwork and carpets matching the theme. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The breakfast was delicious with many options and the hot pot dinner was a real highlight.

We are from NZ and travelled to Dandong to view the key tourist attractions, Yalu River and War Museum.
We were greeted by Crystal Zhang at the Wanda hotel during check in. Thankfully Crystal spoke fluent English. Crystal was very helpful and friendly helping us both with an upgrade, advice on tourist attractions, organising taxis with the Porter, advice on a Korean BBQ restaurant that she recommended.
We followed Crystal’s advice which made for a very enjoyable stay at the Wanda Hotel in Dandong. Crystal was very attentive and caring for my wife and myself during our stay.
Thanks Crystal!
The location linked to a mall is great, spacious rooms but a bit aged, staff made great care to upkeep the place.
But I had a room with popped up tiles that can crack and cut your feet anytime.
The door to the mall closes at 9 pm
So you need to make a detour in the cold to get in through the front door, they should have a hotel guest access tho.
ผผู้ใช้ไม่ระบุชื่อThis establishment is located in an apartment building. It is not exactly a hotel but an apartment for rent. It is located about 6-7 minutes walk to the beach and it’s very close to Wanda Hotel. Going to this place from Bayuquan train station only takes 10 mins and the taxi cost is less than 10rmb. There are many taxis in front of Bayuquan train station exit so it is easy to get to the apartment.
The main receiving area of this apartment is on the third floor of another apartment building. When we got there, one of their staff immediately took us to another apartment building where our room was. The check in with our passports was unnecessary. It was easy and convenient.
Since it was an apartment, I did not have a really high expectation when it comes to the design of the place. Below is the summary of my review:
Good stuff:
1. Very beautiful view: Our room was the best in all the room options, according to the owner. The management upgraded our room. We got 180 degrees view of the sea. Below us was the view of the hot spring next door. There were no obstacles for the view. We saw everything in the horizon!
2. The staff was friendly, accommodating and helpful
3. The location is near the beach. 6-7 mins walk
4. The room was spacious with all the basic and necessary things. However, I did not expect to use disposable towels.
5. The room has a small kitchen with an induction cooker and a steamer. Ideal for a family with infants or toddlers.
6. Easy to get to by taxi
7. The bed was comfortable. They have a soft yellow blanket that my baby liked.
8. There are many restaurants by the sea serving seafood, barbecue and dongbei food.
9. You could easily rent umbrellas if you want to hang out by the sea. For a simple umbrella with a table and some stools, 200 for the whole day.
10. There is a small amusement park by the sea. A square with fun things to do. Fireworks at night and there are many other water activities you can do during the day time. It won’t be too boring.
11. The place is famous for digging in the sand, catching some crabs or collecting shells on low tide.
12. It could get pretty crowded around summer but it’s normal for a tourist spot.
13. The apartment is near a hotspring. Paid separately. Must book in advance.
Things for improvement:
1. The room could be a little cleaner. The drinking glasses were not properly washed
2. I could tell they only cleaned the bathroom floors but did not scrub the corners of the walls. Some dirt accumulated there. Could do better when it comes to cleaning.
3. Disposable towels were okay but real towels are a lot better for drying.
4. The bathroom is way too small. The door blocked the way in the bathroom and I hurt myself as I moved around since the distance between the sink and the door was so small. I am already a small person and this space is too small for me.
5. There was a weird smell that was coming out from the bathroom. It could be from the pipes. The management should check and maintain this place so there would be no weird smell in the future.
6. There are restaurants downstairs but the options are limited to only the things I mentioned above.
General take on Bayuquan:
It is a good place for a weekend getaway but it is not a well developed place to go looking for a good cafe to chill and hang out nor a place to find KFC or McDonald’s. There are many buildings that were closed due to inactivity or maybe buildings that were built but never used. Anyway, it can look better and do better if Bayuquan will improve its infrastructures like the walk ways, small parks and malls. It is a small, quiet city near a beach. If you are looking for a weekend getaway near a beach, this is one of the places to go to. You can go swimming but the water is not very clear. Staying for a day or two would be good enough.

ผผู้เข้าพักMost of the staff do not speak English at all! Only the guys at the reception speak good English and all questions had to be resolved with them, including the restaurant menu - no one in the restaurant, even with my use of a Chinese online translator, could help me with questions about the menu and when I asked the person at the reception to help me understand the menu, it turned out that the kitchen could not cook either the first course from the menu or the second. With dietary restrictions and allergies, you can die of hunger here.
I consider it unacceptable to have non-English-speaking staff in a franchise of an English establishment.
The cook at breakfast talks on the phone right at the place where food is prepared during breakfast. I wanted to ask him a question about the dishes on the first day - he was texting on the phone, on the second day he was directly talking on the phone.
The dishes at breakfast are either not named at all or are named only in Chinese.
There was no seller in the store at the hotel no matter how many times I went in to buy a T-shirt. In the end, I tried on what I was interested in at the store, chose it and went to the reception to pay for it. The next day, a salesperson appeared in the store and told me that the T-shirt I bought the day before had a 20% discount for a month, but when I paid for it, I paid it full price and thus I was deceived by 20% of the cost of the T-shirt and did not give any receipt.
The pool is very small and not deep for such a huge hotel. If there is someone else in the pool besides your partner, there is not enough space.
The sea near the hotel is dirty. Nothing is suitable for swimming - there are no sun loungers, there is no space on the beach specifically for the guests of the hotel. The beach is across the road from the hotel.
There was only one coffee machine at breakfast and it didn't work both days. You could ask a restaurant worker for coffee.
The hotel by the way has a cool energetic staff and that's nice. The room cleaning is high-quality.
There are renovations going on at the hotel and guests can't use all the hotel areas.
