Furama Nanshan Garden Hotel
A garden-side indoor pool near Zhongshan Square
About this hotel
Furama Nanshan Garden Hotel offers a straightforward indoor pool and fitness center at a four-star level, eight minutes by taxi from the tram stop and colonial-era buildings at Zhongshan Square. Free parking sets it apart from some of the other mid-range hotels on this list, useful for anyone arriving by car, and the business center and full-service laundry make it workable for a longer stay. Breakfast comes at an extra charge here rather than included, worth factoring into the overall cost compared with hotels where it's bundled in. With only three reviews so far at an eight-point-zero score, it has a smaller track record than most other indoor-pool hotels in Dalian, though what's there is solid. Kid-friendly and accessible rooms round out a property aimed at families and practical travelers alike.

Our take
This suits travelers who want an indoor pool with free parking and don't mind paying separately for breakfast, particularly families given the kid-friendly, accessible rooms. The small review count, just three so far, means less certainty than at more established hotels nearby, so it's worth reading what's there carefully. Travelers wanting a denser amenities list or a longer guest track record should look toward Inn Fine or Grand Continent International Hotel instead.
- ✓Factor breakfast into your budget separately, since it isn't included in the room rate here.
- ✓Drive if you can, since the free parking is a genuine advantage over hotels closer to Zhongshan Square.
- ✓Read the small number of existing reviews closely before booking, given the limited guest sample so far.

Why guests love itA stay here feels like a quieter, more residential alternative to the busier hotels right on Zhongshan Square, eight minutes away by taxi when the tram line or the historic buildings are the plan for the day. The free parking is a real advantage for anyone driving, and the indoor pool delivers what it promises without much fuss. Breakfast costs extra here, which is worth budgeting for separately, and with only three reviews on record so far, it's a smaller, less-proven pick than some of Dalian's more established indoor-pool hotels.
