I have found coming in autumn or spring before in other months I have found the air conditioning too hot and have been unable to turn it down in the room.

After i complaint to the hotel, a standing FAN was sent to my room as a solution.

Furthermore, the gigantic reception area in the winter months has no heating!

I'm not sure whether the whole heaters where defective or it was switched off for cost reason? !

If you sleep hot and need room temp 70F or 22C or less in order to sleep, don't stay here.

The first room was aircon was not working well.

but again very warm >> was given a fan, but this only cycles the warm air .

3908 (at about $200US a night) was 27C, and that was with 2 electric fans on high constantly!!

Weak points are that there is no sufficient heating in the entrance hall, restaurants or even the lounge to make a long time stay cosy.

We moved roomed x3, was told the temp control panel in the room was decoration and gave an illusion of control as temperature was controlled centrally, and a fan blowing hot air was not a solution.

As they can only provide me a electric fan for the night. ..

but you can request a portable heater and in the summer the Aircon is ineffective.

The view was superb because it has a window with city view and another smaller window with sea view.

The hotel is fantastic with best view of some part of city, sea and its food.

but the fact it is far from the city doesn't make good choice for travelers.

The location of the hotel is away from city center, about 10 minutes walk to beach side.

but it's a 20 minutes and RMB 40-50 taxi drive away from the city center.

If you want to get away from the crowds, noice and busy life of the Thier 1 & 2 cities, without going to a fancy resort, this is the place to be.

If you ever come to Yantai for leisure or work, Crowne Plaza is the best hotel to stay in, it is the grandest and nicest hotel you can find in Yantai city.

Rooms are perfect, clean and have everything one needs, service is excellent stuff very helpfull and speak good English, restaurant upstairs is also the best in the city, The main complaint is that the hotel is too far from downtown,

I have been travelling in China to different big, medium and small cities and almost findings excellent hotels only in those big cities.

When I arrived in Yantai I was totally out of my comfort zone as I had heard all the horror stories about hotels in 3rd tier cities.

but so far away from downtown area, the restaurant on the first floor is good , but staff barely speak English , club lounge is very nice too

I like the private atmosphere at the club floor during breakfast time or for meeting with business partners.

Even I am a Club Member, I can tell you that you have good services

very good hotel, excellent breakfast and dinner buffet, spacious spotless comfortable rooms
everything works, staff extremely helpful and friendly
Great location
Not frequent flyer with CP so got a std room and no club access, still very good
Will I go again? YES

As a member of priority club I got an upgrade to a nice seaview room.

The check in was quick and all of the benefits of being a Priority Club member were pointed out such as the Happy Hour.

The service staff are helpful at breakfast (western and Chinese selections, with eggs cooked to order), and on the club floor during happy hour. great happy hour,

As part of my room upgrade, I was entitled to use the club lounge which I found to be quite nice, with a reasonable range of food.

The staff is extremely friendly and qualified.

The stuff are very friendly and helpful in this mature hotel.

The staff are very friendly and the location is close to the beach.

The front desk attendants are quite friendly

the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.

The staffs are generally friendly and if you need transport to the penglai airport, can always take the shuttle bus (about 25Rmb) instead of cab or arranging transport which cost significantly more.

Hotel staff are friendly and professional， always could help you when required.

The hotel staff is very friendly, the rooms are clean.

Hotel staff speaks good English and are friendly.

The staff speak English and seem very sincere, friendly and efficient.

Service: Most staff were very friendly and attentive.

great service, their Japanese restaurant was the best I ever had (but how to choose from a 106 page menu), very friendly staff, 5 minutes walk to the beach.

The staffs are friendly, efficient, well trained.

Check-in and -out was slow, staff struggled with English.

5mins ago, a lady staff just serve another patron crepes from the same pan !!

but one felt cut off from the world, Concierge quite helpful as was Reception.

however, by far better in terms of service, price and staff friendliness and attention to the client.

The rooms directing to the sea have a great view on the shore.

Reception area was huge and after a welcome drink at the cafe on ground floor .

but with a nice bath, view and decent bell boys who help you with your luggage, even before you get to the main door.

The best part of the stay was a courteous and professional staff who speak English.

The staff English speaking capability was outstanding making me as a foreigner feel comfortable and welcome.

There is even intelligent toilet seat cover in the bathroom, which is rather rare for Chinese hotels in 2015.

The room is good, the view is just amazing , sea is very close

From the 31st floor of 43 we enjoyed a terrific ocean blue water and sandy beach view.

5 star hotel close to the beach Well designed with excellent service with good quality service at affordable prices Gym and bar facilities with the best settings
Articheture of world class with neat rooms and beautiful sea views

Crowne Plaza Yantai Seaview excellent hotel.

And the view is also great facing the sea.

I spent two days based at the hotel, with a marvellous sea view from the 27th floor.

The view from our room in 33th floor was perfect.

The view was really nice - it was a bit foggy

Also restaurant is very nice situated, rotating with spectacular views.

There is a park there (NE of Yantaishan West Gate) and a lighthouse with a good view of the town and surrounding harbor.

The room is excellent - space is large, bed is comfortable, and most importantly, the sea view is wonderful.

The hotel is good and has a nice sea view

The fridge in the room was broken too (so couldn't store drinks etc), along with the standing lamp near the window.

My only complaint is the lack of deep cleaning in rooms (soiled carpet, dirty windows and mirrors).

But there is not much to walk to for sightseeing in the area and the university town from my window look a bit grim.

An example: window glued with silicon, impossible to have fresh air in the room
-	Internet – IS NOT WORKING, NEVER.

I would suggest a minor renovation to improve the view from the chairs adjacent to the window - build a raised platform for the sitting area so that you can see over the window frame instead of looking straight at it.

The window opens sparingly, with no air coming in.

The floor moves a bit too quickly and the window frames hold the sparkling rainbow-colored neons that flash non-stop on the outside.

The lounge and the staff Lara helps us a lot.

The staff Bonnie Amanda Crystal in the lounge offers my family the best service ever.

but didn't locate such clause; in fact the diamond member and up to one additional registered guest will always enjoy complimentary access to the executive floor lounge.

Executive lounge is a good option, Ms Wendy is a new friend we met here.

The hotel is very nice and cosy and the service staff at the executive lounge Erin and Cassie are exemplary in their service.

I am in the executive lounge and having dinner. 有大虾，鱿鱼，牛肉和甜点，水果。服务人员非常敬业，服务很热情，多次加水，还提醒新菜上来。

询问了附近的小吃街，得到了专业的答复，还写了小卡片方便顾客去寻找。

服务人员还热情介绍了酒店的餐厅，菜品，推荐了中餐厅，还没去尝试，明天中午会去看看。

酒店的泳池还在装修不能使用。

Adding to this is the horrendous mould in the roof!

They should let the smells disappear first before operating.

butt in a bath tub at the edge of the window in a separate room in a high rise that faces the ocean.

About the room, there is still the smell of decoration in the room

staff very helpful, especially bobby xia,mark liu ,may gao ,nice trip and will always choose hilton yantai.

They were attentive to my needs and went the extra mile to ensure I get the food I want and also the way it has to be prepared.

The guys were helpful, cheerful and knowledgeable.

near the sea and attractions place  , the breakfast was nice also, lv6 got the gym,you can take exercise when you want.

This hotel is great for business and is in a very good location by the sea.

The room is spacious with grand view of blue sea coast when it’s sunny and it’s a real feast to eyes when looking out of my window.

Near to the sea side you should ask for a room with sea view.

Reception is at the 26th floor in this stunning hotel and the rooms for many floors above so the views are outstanding.

The hotel has great view and very nice room and they also tried to give me an upgrade.

From the lobby and the restaurant in the 26th floor you get a better view on Yantai than from Yantai hill.

.Large room, great amenities, and a very nice view of towards the sea.

Walking to the ocean side is only about crossing the road.

The staff at the front desk welcome us with warm greeting and found a room with a ocean view for us in just less than 10min.

The whole sea view outside the hotel is beautiful, the next time I visit yantai I will choose Hilton again!

The room had a great view of the ocean and the esplanade by the beach.

Yantai is a beautiful city, the people are very nice.

One can see the city and the ocean from high above.

The Wanda Vista Hotel is located in the center of the city next to a large shopping mall.

Being in China for so many times, still i had never visited such a luxurious hotel in not so famous city of Yantai.

The hotel starts from the 26th floor up, providing a stunning view on the city.

The Hotel rooms are nice and sound, the restaurant at the top floor is ideal situated and of a high standard, the views over the city are spectacular.

Close to nightlife, not far from seaside in the lovely city of Yantai.

Sea view is very nice, with City views as well.

Stayed in the executive club room and had a ball of experience from the amenities to the room view.

The hotel has several dining choices; Western food at the Café Vista, Japanese food including Teppanyaki, a Chinese restaurant, Lobby lounge bar with great views and the Club Lounge for executive club rooms which serves cooked to order eggs and various dinner dishes in the evening.

I was on the Club Floor and enjoyed the complimentary buffet breakfast which had a vast array of choices sure to please any diner.

The staff is very helpful and friendly, they will go out of there way to provide quality service.

but this one provides outstanding service, every staff is friendly and helpful.

Loverly luxurious room,tip- turn the sound on in the bathroom relax in the bath and enjoy a movie.Very friendly helpful staff  ,view over the Bay is beautiful day and night ,the Wanda Vista Yantai is a perfect escape

Wanda Vista was truly great, very attentive & friendly staff.

We asked to see around which was absolutely no problem as the staff are so friendly and can speak English very well.

The location is great, it's right beside a mall, everything I need from a quick bite to Starbucks is right there!

The hotel is well located and there is a shopping mall (Wanda Plaza) just nearby the hotel and where you can find all you need (many restaurants, shops, Vanguard supermarket, Watson, McDonald’s, etc …)
The room (which was a Deluxe King type room on 35th floor facing west side) was really nice, quiet, clean, spacious enough and the bed very comfortable.

Nice Modern Hotel and Good location, close to shopping mall and restaurants.

The location is very good and attached to the Wanda Mall.

Next door is the new shopping mall in town with all  kind of western brands and Asian.

The hotel is perfect - very new, luxurious, well located near Wanda mall.

The comfort is that of 5-star standard room with a comfortable king-size bed, a large desk and a recliner.

The staff were very well dressed, courteous and knew fluent English.

Staff is always there to assist you … very appreciated, especially, when they offered me a nice birthday cake upon my arrival.

Hotel Staff extremely helpful and Friendly.

Check in took some time the English of the staff is ok.

The pool at the hotel is very nice and the staff at this property is well trained and very helpful and most professional.

Staff speaks excellent English which is a big plus for Yantai.

There was so much attention to detail - they even added a USB port for the TV on the wall by the desk.

Stayed there this week on business and the staff could not have been more accommodating.

I would certainly stay there when I next visit Yantai for this city is a really fascinating, attractive and friendly city that I hope to come back to soon.

Even the staff that weren't that great in English worked really hard to help us, and overall we felt very welcome to the city and the hotel.

It has nice views of the islands and of the city, especially at night.

City centre is about a 15/20 minute walk.Try going through the back streets near the hotel.

The hotel staff was were so accommodating and helped us with every question and concern that we had about the area, city, and country.

Yantai is a small coastal city of 600,000 or so, and this hotel sits right by the water.

The hotel is great, it's clean, the staff are friendly and the rooms are spacious.

All of the staff are always smiling, friendly, and accommodating.

Changyu Wine Culture Museum is about 10 minutes walk from the hotel.
