EK Inn Hotel (Dalian Railway Station Zhongshan Square Subway Station)

Overall a good place with a bright design. Location is about 20-25 minutes walking from the train station or 15 minutes from the metro station with a direct link to the airport. It is foreigner friendly, since the friendly staff knows some English or tries to communicate via online translator. The bed was very comfortable, Aircon worked for cooling, WiFi was fast. Two minor flaws: drainage in the shower didn't work well and there was some weird smell in the room when I arrived, but nothing too serious. The breakfast is not a buffet. You'll be served a tray with some food as shown on photo. If you like chicken feet and a prawn in rice porridge for breakfast, you'll love it :) On the flip side, they push you hard to leave them a 5* review when you check out. They even have a special manual for that in several languages. This spoils the overall good impression. In any case, I can recommend this place.

Very clean and nice location, walkable distance to zhongshan square and nice fruit store and restaurant in the same building

at first, the hotel was difficult to find (search for "yike yija hotel (dalian railway station), wenlin street no. 1 on gaode maps) because there are apparently many "yike" hotels in dalian ;) when we arrived, we met a very friendly staff! the hotel is very modern, so are the rooms :) i really liked it there! in the evening there are plenty of streetfood and fruit options to choose from as the hotel is right next to many night clubs (yet it still is very quiet).
