Absolutely blown away by Longting Vineyard! It totally lives up to its SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) reputation; the experience was just incredible. The entire estate is surrounded by sprawling vineyards, and the Southern French architectural style creates such a beautiful ambiance – every photo op felt like a professional shot. Our room, named after a grape varietal, was exquisitely designed and elegant, with so many thoughtful soft furnishing details. The rattan furniture and vintage lighting really added a touch of class. The room itself was spacious, and stepping out onto the balcony from the French windows, you're greeted by lush greenery. Our butler even upgraded our room type, offering distant views of the mountains and sea, which made the mornings and evenings incredibly therapeutic. The bedding was comfortable, and the bathroom facilities were high-end, ensuring a quiet and private stay. The staff – Molly, Xinyue, and Emily – were so warm and attentive. Check-in was efficient, and they thoughtfully provided guidance on various vineyard experiences. Spending our leisure time wine tasting and strolling, away from the city noise, made this the perfect choice for a getaway to Penglai. We'll definitely be back!

We were very satisfied with the hotel's location, service, and cleanliness. The pick-up and drop-off service was especially appreciated, particularly since we were a family traveling with young children and luggage. This hotel is designed like a traditional quadrangle courtyard, so some rooms are on the second floor, requiring a short climb up a flight of stairs. Right outside the hotel, you're on the bustling Chaoyang Street, and in about a two-minute walk, you'll reach Guangxing Orchard, which is very convenient. The front desk staff were also very friendly. Upon check-out, they even gave small gifts to my two children. There's a water dispenser in the hotel lobby with both hot and cold water available at all times, which was very handy. The room was spacious enough to open two 32-inch suitcases simultaneously without a problem. The only minor inconvenience was the lack of privacy in the bathroom. If you needed to change, you had to ask anyone else in the room to avoid the area around the bathroom.

I chose this Atour hotel for my trip, primarily because of the brand, but I ended up a bit disappointed. To be fair, the hotel's location is quite good, right by Fisherman's Wharf, making it convenient for exploring. However, I do have a few complaints: First, check-in time is at 4:00 PM, so guests should consider this carefully. Second, the hygiene here was quite frankly, speechless. When I entered the room, the slippers provided were wet and unusable. The front desk manager did handle it immediately, though. Third, when I was about to go to bed, I discovered the pillow was dirty. That was absolutely disgusting and, in my opinion, a fundamental issue for any hotel. After this happened, the hotel manager apologized via WeChat, but no further resolution was offered. Since I booked through Trip.com, their customer service was very proactive in addressing the situation.

The best place for a calm vacation on a beach for a affordable price. This was a nice little hotel standing right in front of a beach. The placement can be seen as perfect as this large beach is wonderful itself and much better then the beaches at the city center. The only inconvenience to consider when choosing this or nearby hotels is lack of cafes and restorans nearby, so you'd better take breakfasts in the hotel, they were not bad, tasty and very filing, with serveral options to choose from. For other places to eat, except for a two nearby costly restorans, you'll have to wark to find one about 1-1,5 km or more. If you want to spend more time in the city center consider also the time to travel to it, about 1,5 hours on a bus, 30-50 minutes on taxi. The service was decent, even though stuff does not speak english they were very welcome and supportive, helping me and calling taxi a couple of times when I needed it. The hotel itself is clean. The room was cleaned daily, not perfectly as the floors in the room stayed a bit dusty all the time but that was not too much of an issue. The bedding was always clean, towels were clean as well and changed daily. I have to say a few words about the beach and the see themselves. The beach is large and clean, there are trash bins which are cleaned daily. It have a sand of very good quality, indeed of a golden color. The beach longs for several kilometers and is from about 150 meters wide to 200+ meters wide depending on the tides. The beach is shallow but no too much, you can easily walk to a place where you can swim freely. It was August and the water was extremely warm and cozy. It was clean with little human made trash coming from the see, but due to temperature the water near the shore start blooming on a second or third day of my stay there. I had to walk 10-15 meters in a 50-80 centimeters deep water full of seaweed before I come to clear waters. I bit unpleasant but not a big deal. There were some jelly fish coming the shore, the see doesn't have dangerous ones though. The beach has some infrastructure, at least there is a place to wash your hands and legs and there are public toilets nearby the beach, but there are no safeguards on it. With an chinese specifics I would say that's a plus as they are too restrictive and protective here.

Booked this hotel for a business trip and had a fantastic experience. It's super convenient with MixC Mall right downstairs, so lots of food options. The room layout was well-designed, very clean, and had a great view. The front desk lady was also really welcoming. I'll definitely stay here again next time!

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!

A perfect five-star stay from start to finish – I simply have to praise the Yantai Lijing Hotel! 📍 **Excellent Location:** Super close to the bathing beach, Fisherman's Wharf, and the city's commercial district. Free parking available, making public transport, dining, shopping, and sightseeing a breeze. 🧹 **Top-notch Cleanliness:** The entire room was meticulously clean, with no dust or odors in the corners. The soundproofing was excellent, allowing for undisturbed daytime views and peaceful night's rest. Toiletries were fully stocked, with attention to every detail. 🙋 **Warm & Thoughtful Service:** They proactively shared routes to nearby attractions and even offered free luggage storage after check-out, which was incredibly considerate.

The location is excellent, the transportation is convenient, and it is convenient to travel. There are many parking spaces in the parking lot at the door. There is light music at the front desk, which is very nice. The room type is very good, the layout is reasonable, the bathroom is super large, clean and hygienic, and the mattress is very comfortable. Highly recommended.

The surrounding environment is beautiful, the air is fresh, and it is very close to the Kunqi Mountain Scenic Area and convenient. The boss is a gentle and lovely young lady, very nice. The room is clean and tidy and feels like home.

I had hoped to stay where I stayed in Aug. 2024, but when trip.com confirmed with that place, it no longer accepted foreigners. It was nice trip.com recommended this place instead and get a confirmation email right away. Conditions per previous travelers comments had changed. I did not see any bugs. I had taken my swim trunks along because a previous comment said.men and women showered together, but there were separate showers, and the showers, toilets, and sink.areas were clean. Some floor tile needed to be finished. There were desks to have meals at, and a microwave, but it was on the top of some lockers. One chair back needed to be replaced. The air conditioning and room were comfortable. The property wanted guests to call the property before arriving. Perhaps the driver was unfmiliar with the area, and we had to detour. The owner (limited English) answered the driver's call but responded to me on WeChat in Chinese I could translate, and he provided the outside and room codes. The main worker had good English and asked me to send a picture of my passport. While she did not understand registering me with the local police as a foreigner, the owner did that when I asked him to. The location was convenient, as I walked to the Yantai Train Station when I left. The price was reasonable.
