This hotel is a great hotel, check in and check out took only minutes, the staff speak a good English, the room is clean well maintained, the very comfortable, the shower however need some help, the water pressure is low and the water temp hard to control. Will definitely come back again to this hotel.

Nearing the end of a VERY long week in China, my plans changed and I had a night here just so that I could catch an early flight back to Shanghai. What a treat... bland....predictable...recognisable food... non-smoking restaurant and rooms.... helpful staff... BBC news channel.... all the stuff you sort-of hate when it is there but miss like hell when... More

This is simply the best hotel and restaurant in Yantai. The rooms are prepared to perfection and the buffet offers incredible variety and quality cuisine. Don't come here expecting low to mid range prices - this is a top end territory, but you definitely get what you pay for. The staff speak English and seem very sincere, friendly and efficient....

OK, so 5 stars is subjective, but China's accommodation standards have risen incredibly fast in the last 10 years ( first visit was in 1984 and we won't discuss the standards then!). We go to Yantai regularly as our winery Kilikanoon is working with Changyu, one of China's largest, who are based there. Crowne PLaza is the only 5 star... More

Stayed there a night was upgraded to Excecutive Level in the 40th floor with nice view to the sea. Evening meals enough to leave you not hungry. 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. in the room you can choose the temperature... More

Service: Most staff were very friendly and attentive. When we tipped them (most didn't want to receive our tip), they followed up with us during our whole stay to make sure everything was great. My wife appreciated the fresh fruits,... our MAJOR complaint about the burning room temperature was met as kindly as possible. Room: everything was rather new and... More

some refer to the coast along Yantai/Weihai as tge cote d'azur of China. 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. great climate in summer, nice people, great beaches, and this great hotel. I'm not sure... More

One has to remember this is a 3rd tier city , so expectations cannot be too high. Rooms were a bit dark for my comfort even with all the lights on. No wifi in the room so spent quite a fair bit of time in the lounge. Lounge was decent. Location is quite a distance from town but near the... More

Definitely a hotel for the business traveller, as its located right next to the Yantai Exhibition Centre. Although its far from the town's centre, taxis are frequent and affordable. Just make sure you get the correct change before getting out. Hotel offers free wifi in lobby area, which becomes problematic when there are many users. Only plug-in internet connection in... More
