Beach Hotels in Yantai

Initially, I was a bit hesitant about the value for money, seeing the price tag of 600-700 yuan. After trying another hotel in between and having a poor experience, I eventually decided to stay here. The hotel's facilities are a little dated, but the atmosphere is very warm and inviting. Compared to many newly renovated hotels, which, despite their fresh decor, often lack a personal touch, this place feels very homely. The cold water supply in the room was stable, and the air conditioning, a key concern in summer, provided excellent cooling. The staff were enthusiastic and attentive, and they even gave me a small souvenir upon check-out – thoughtful details that made a difference. The location is superb, directly facing Fisherman's Wharf with expansive views. After dinner, it's just a two-minute walk to the seaside. Although there's no sandy beach, enjoying the sea breeze and the night view is very pleasant. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, making dining out very convenient. On a side note, regarding the hotel's rental service: the Hello small electric scooters are only suitable for single riders. For families with children, they're not practical, and self-driving would be a better option. The buffet breakfast was decent; it was enough to fill up, and the variety was better than budget chain hotels, though it still falls short compared to high-end star hotels. A minor drawback: the hotel has limited children's play facilities, and not many leisure options for families with kids. I hope they can improve and upgrade these in the future. Overall, the service is excellent, the views are outstanding, and it's perfect for a seaside vacation in Yantai. Highly recommended.

Booked two sea-view suites with balconies, and they indeed had quite large balconies with beautiful views morning and night. Although the hotel is a bit old, it's kept very clean. The hotel breakfast was just okay, but filling. There was no shower enclosure in the room, and getting in and out of the bathtub was inconvenient, making me worried about slipping. The toiletries (which should be placed near the tub, otherwise you're halfway through your shower only to realize you don't have any, then have to climb out of the tub to get them from the sink drawer – that's really not practical!) lacked conditioner, which should be an easy fix! Overall, it was still a good experience, especially the location. With Yantai Mountain behind and Chaoyang Street in front, you get a panoramic view of Yantai's coastline.

Tracy was great, always ready to help with any request. We stayed in a family room with an ocean view, which was lovely. The 1.8-meter bed was spacious enough for me and my child, and there was a smaller bed for my husband. The room had a 'Frozen' theme, complete with a little doll for decoration. The best part was the bathtub – my child loves baths, though we only used it once during our three-day stay. It felt a bit wasteful that we only went to the beach once, considering we were right by the sea. The hotel is conveniently located near Chaoyang Street and Hongkousuo Ancient City; all three attractions are within walking distance from the hotel entrance. It's a shame we didn't explore further afield, with Fisherman's Wharf being the furthest we considered going.

For my trip to Yantai, I chose the Hilton Yantai Golden Coast, and the experience was truly wonderful! The room was spotlessly clean, and opening the window revealed an endless ocean view. The sea view was absolutely stunning; I could just sit in the room and quietly watch the sea, which instantly broadened my spirits. The hotel is very close to the beach, just a few steps away, making it perfect for family trips. It's super convenient to take kids to dig in the sand and play in the water. Miss Winnie at the front desk was very friendly and efficient with the check-in process. Any requests we had were promptly addressed. The hotel has a fantastic beachfront resort vibe. It's just perfect for a family to enjoy the sea breeze, admire the ocean view, and relax. I highly recommend this hotel for a vacation in Yantai!

Loving the sea, I chose to stay at the Sheraton hotel near the beach. Upon arriving at the front desk, I was grateful for the warm reception from the customer service staff. Not only did they give me a small gift, but they also upgraded my room. Once inside, looking out the window at the waves crashing against the shore, I felt completely refreshed. It was a shame that it was too windy to play in the sea that day, which was a bit disappointing. We booked a room that included a photoshoot, and while it might have felt a bit rushed due to time constraints, I was generally happy with the photos taken by the sea, and I'd like to express my thanks for that. The hotel breakfast was plentiful, and the room was clean and tidy, although it was a bit far from the elevator. It would be much more convenient and safer if there were elevators at both ends of the hotel.

Pros: The hotel view was decent, and the room was relatively quiet. Cons: The breakfast was terrible, absolutely not worth ¥128 per person. The breakfast hours are 6:30 AM - 10:00 AM, but whether you went at 9 AM or 7 AM, most of the food wasn't hot (even the fried eggs were cold). The restaurant staff lacked service awareness, both in the Japanese restaurant and the breakfast area. This might also be due to understaffing (the same few staff members were seen running around in the breakfast area every day, and because they were overwhelmed, they naturally became less attentive). The hotel is right next to Wanda Plaza (with an underground passage leading directly to it), offering many dining options. I strongly recommend: booking a room without breakfast, without breakfast!! The Japanese buffet on the 26th floor is also not recommended. It was arguably the worst all-you-can-eat experience I've had. At ¥298 per person, the food was mediocre. For the sashimi platter, apart from the slipper lobster, everything else (salmon, sweet shrimp, tuna, surf clam, etc.) was not good. Recommended cooked dishes: beef tongue, beef, scallops, abalone. Not recommended cooked dishes: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, squid tempura, shishamo, garlic oysters (small and dry).

I chose the Central Hotel for my dad's follow-up hospital visit, and this old-school hotel definitely lives up to its reputation. Every staff member at the front desk was fantastic; they had our room reserved in advance, so check-in was instant! The two concierges were incredibly responsible, surprising us with different little treats every day – so thoughtful and caring! The restaurant staff were very welcoming, and the cleaning auntie was diligent, tidying up our room promptly every day. All in all, the Central Hotel's service is so dedicated, which clearly shows their management is five-star. Thank you!

This is my second stay at this hotel, and both times have been great. The hotel environment is beautiful, and the breakfast is plentiful and delicious. The Chinese restaurant's food is also very tasty. The front desk and housekeeping staff are all very dedicated and provide excellent service. You can walk to see the sunrise in just five minutes. The room facilities are clean and well-equipped. I'll definitely be back next time.

Every time I visit, I stay here. The rooms and the overall environment are pretty good. Of course, that's because the price point is also reflected in the quality. All in all, it offers good value for money, and I'm quite satisfied.

This hotel should be one of the best on the island at present. The location is excellent. The hotel is built on the sea cliff. The environment is quiet and comfortable. The room is clean and tidy. The breakfast is rich. Lying on the bed, stretching your legs to watch the sea and listening to the waves, sitting on the balcony smoking cigarettes and drinking tea to watch the sunset. -On the first floor, I watched the sea with food, and on the second floor, I tasted coffee and listened to the waves. What's better is that the service is considerate and thoughtful, responsive, and the front desk lady leads you to the room when you check in, warm like home.
