Hilton Yantai Reviews

I booked a 3-night stay during the National Day holiday. I initially thought the hotel was a bit old, but given the crowds and potential traffic jams during the holiday, and its excellent location within walking distance to several attractions, I didn't have high expectations. However, from check-in, the executive twin room I originally booked was upgraded to a sea-view room with an excellent location, specially arranged because my husband and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Later, Sally noticed our group was larger and proactively helped us change rooms. She even accompanied me to view the new room first, and after I was satisfied, she processed the change. The executive lounge access, originally for two, was extended to include an additional person, which I really appreciate! For such an outstanding employee, it's worth staying here again. After a few days, I grew to love this hotel even more. It's within walking distance to several key attractions (Chaoyang Street, Yantai Tian, Hongkou 1920, Suochengli, etc.), and the hotel's breakfast is also great, with a variety of freshly squeezed juices and handmade noodles, blending Chinese and Western styles. Dining in the sea-view restaurant on the 26th floor made me feel particularly relaxed. The weather was also lovely during the National Day holiday, with jelly-like clear seas everywhere, which made me fall in love with this city. I'll definitely come back next year, and I'll stay at this hotel again!

The hotel's biggest advantage is its location, right in the center of several attractions. It's within walking distance to the Changyu Wine Museum, Binhai Square, Chaoyang Street, Suochengli, and Yantai Mountain. During peak holiday seasons, you don't have to worry about traffic or parking when visiting attractions. There are also several large shopping malls and numerous restaurants nearby, making it suitable for both tourists exploring sights and those looking for a relaxing holiday with daily walks by the sea. The hotel was almost fully booked during the National Day holiday. I had previously noted that I was traveling with my parents and wanted a room close to the elevator but also quiet. Candy arranged the room before our arrival, and the extra bed was already in place. The sea view directly faces the ocean, offering a wide and open vista. Since the hotel is quite old, some facilities show their age, but it's kept clean and well-maintained. The bathrooms in the sea-view rooms are large, with separate wet and dry areas, and also feature large floor-to-ceiling windows. Although the room itself isn't huge, its layout is square and practical, and the soundproofing is good. I had read that getting from the underground parking to the room required two elevator transfers, but the walking distance isn't far at all, and there are many elevators, so waiting times aren't long. It's quite acceptable. Regarding dining, during peak breakfast hours on holidays, there was a short queue, but it was orderly, and the waiting time was only about ten minutes as the turnover was quick. The hotel even utilized the lobby lounge area as an additional dining space. I noticed many staff members in different attire, likely from various departments, helping out. Despite the large crowd, both cleaning and food replenishment were very prompt, and the variety of dishes was extensive. The Chinese restaurant on the fifth floor of the hotel also has excellent food, and in-house guests receive a 12% discount. It's a great option if you don't want to go out, offering local specialties, Shandong cuisine, and Sichuan cuisine. Although the prices were doubled during the holiday, the overall comfort and convenience made it quite good value for money.

My stay exceeded expectations, and I'd like to specifically thank Eric. He was incredibly patient during our conversations, diligently helped resolve all my questions, and provided professional yet warm service. The room hygiene was excellent, the bedding was comfortable, and the accompanying pool and gym facilities were all top-notch. Thanks to outstanding staff like Eric, my overall stay was significantly enhanced. It was a very pleasant beachfront accommodation experience that I highly recommend to everyone.

Hilton is almost always my go-to hotel chain for every trip. The quality is guaranteed, and the prices are reasonable. For my recent visit to Yantai, I also chose this hotel, which boasts the best location in the city. Check-in on the 26th floor went smoothly, and we were assigned a fantastic view room on the 37th floor. The panoramic view of Yantai's three-sided harbor was breathtaking! Just a short walk across the street, there's also the Hongkou 1902 themed street, which is great for exploring. The breakfast buffet was incredibly rich and diverse. Hilton's signature Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles were a welcome comfort for us, as people from the northwest who hadn't had noodles in days. We received complimentary welcome fruits upon arrival, and a bag of large Yantai apples as a farewell gift when we checked out, which was such a warm and thoughtful touch. Those big apples were super delicious! I'll definitely keep choosing Hilton in the future.

My stay was excellent. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was comfortable. The location is superb, making it very convenient to go out for food and shopping. The breakfast with its high-altitude view was fantastic, and Lito provided attentive service. The swimming pool and gym facilities were complete. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

Check-in on the 26th floor was super fast, thanks to Lisa at the front desk. She arranged a room with an amazing view, a fantastic spot to see the ocean. I really loved the hotel's decor; it was clean and tidy. The breakfast had a great variety and tasted superb. The staff were warm and friendly. I highly recommend it! Excellent service, definitely worth coming back!

The hotel front desk staff were very welcoming and even gave us apples. The room was spacious and faced the sea. Overall, it was a great experience. The surrounding transportation is convenient, making it easy to get to Chaoyang Street, Hongkou, and Suochengli.

I had a very comfortable stay here. The location is excellent, and the front desk service was great. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and the sea view is absolutely fantastic. It's truly a hotel well-recommended by online reviews. I'll definitely book this place again on my next visit.

The location is fantastic! You can take a bus directly from Yantai Station. Zhangyu Museum is right across the street, and Yantai Mountain, Hongkou 1920, and Suochengli are all within walking distance. Fisherman's Wharf and Moon Bay 🌙 are just a 1 RMB bus ride away. The sea view from here is breathtaking!

1. On the first day of my stay, I booked a king-size bed room but was upgraded to a sea-view room by the front desk, and they even gave me two Yantai apples. However, when I tried to rest at night, I found that the ventilation pipe in the room was very noisy. Also, the only place with tissues in the entire room was the bathroom, which was quite inconvenient. 2. I stayed for three days and had breakfast for three days. All three days, the cups had chips in them. The breakfast variety looked extensive, but there was nothing I really liked; I mostly filled up on eggs. 3. The area behind the noodle cooking station was stained with watermarks that looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time, which severely affected my appetite. 4. When the pastries ran out, it took a long time for them to be refilled. Utensils at the self-service area were not supplied promptly; there were no bowls for porridge. Both the porridge and milk were not heated through, and drinking them made me feel uncomfortable. 5. When extending my stay, I called the front desk for an inquiry. The phone in the room was labeled 'front desk,' but the person who answered was not from the front desk. My call was transferred several times but never connected. Apart from its good location, the hotel has no other advantages.

I booked an Executive King Room, and my understanding was that executive rooms typically offer a better layout and more space. However, Hilton's executive room layout is truly bizarre; you can see the toilet from the bed! Even a 200 yuan budget hotel wouldn't have such a strange room configuration. The afternoon tea and happy hour food at the Executive Lounge were also quite disappointing. For traveling with a child, it's just about clean enough and serves a basic dinner. Breakfast options were limited, but the ramen at the noodle station was absolutely delicious – big thumbs up to the ramen chef! What was most intolerable was when I ordered takeout. I understand a star-rated hotel might not deliver to the room, so I went downstairs to pick it up. As I reached the elevator, the concierge there actually mistook me for a delivery driver, asking, 'Are you here for a delivery?' Is ordering takeout a cardinal sin in your hotel that you need such strict security? The concierge on the first floor really needs better training. Think twice before booking the Executive King Room! The room layout is truly bad. The only good points were the comfortable mattress and duvet.

Riding my motorcycle to Yantai, this hotel was great. They even helped secure my bike. Getting around was very convenient, and it was close to all the attractions. I could just stroll downstairs to the beach, and the view was lovely. There's also public transportation right outside. Overall, pretty good, I recommend it.

The room layout is well-designed and quite spacious. The bathroom and toilet are separate, and having a double vanity is very convenient. The only minor drawback is that the windows could use a good cleaning. However, the view from the executive lounge is still good.

I didn't bother changing rooms, so I ended up with executive benefits. Pros: great location, well-equipped rooms, nice high-floor views, attentive front desk service, polite staff in the hallways, and the pool, although open to the public, had welcoming staff, clear water, varying depths, and a small hot tub. Cons: you need to switch elevators, the in-room amenities weren't fully stocked at check-in, food and medicine deliveries require signing an agreement every time to be sent to the room, restaurant service was indifferent and cold (depending on the guest), and the simple meals were better than the afternoon tea (which was just okay, so no need to book executive anymore). Also, you can't adjust the room's air conditioning yourself.
