Aloft Yantai

This Aloft by Marriott truly exceeded my expectations. I didn't go in with high hopes, but I left completely impressed. The room was clean and bright, and all the facilities felt quite new, making for a very comfortable stay. The biggest surprise was the huge, heated swimming pool – the lanes were wide and the water was crystal clear, making for a really refreshing swim. The service was genuinely excellent; everyone was attentive and thoughtful throughout my stay, not just going through the motions. The overall experience was far better than I anticipated. Marriott's quality really shines through, and I was very satisfied. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in town.

Free breakfast for one child: The breakfast was good. Child's sand play tools: Clean, hygienic, and good service.

Stayed for one night on a business trip, booked a sea view room. The room was clean and a good size, but the soundproofing wasn't great. It was very convenient to just go downstairs and cross a main road to get to the beach. The breakfast was very good! 👍

Opened in 2023, the facilities are quite new. I really like the hotel's name, the in-room music, and the architectural design. It's a bit far from the beach, and the beach itself is rocky with no sand, but the hotel makes up for this by allowing guests to use the pool at the neighboring Westin. Please note that you must bring a swimming cap to enter the water, otherwise you'll have to buy one for 49 or order one for delivery. I really liked the room layout. The bed facing the floor-to-ceiling window is something I haven't seen in other nearby hotels, which is a big plus. At night, you can see the lights of the nearby 'center' building. The bathroom has a three-part separation, and the toilet stall has a sliding track door. Both this sliding door and all the drawers have soft-close dampers, which is great. The TV can access TV channels and is connected to the hotel's Wi-Fi, but you have to log in to the hotel Wi-Fi, so connecting to it is essentially useless. The TV has an HDMI port, so I recommend guests bring devices like a Nintendo Switch to enhance their vacation. There's a seemingly random speaker that supports both Bluetooth and a 3.5mm jack, but you need to bring your own Type-C power supply. The elevator with the missing letter in the picture belongs to the Westin next door. There were staff at the entrance who helped take our luggage out of the car, which was very much appreciated. I had a very pleasant stay, so I'm writing this detailed review and would be happy to stay here again.

Pretty good. The pool is shared with Westin. It's a great value for money option in Yantai.

This hotel offers great value for money, with an excellent surrounding environment. In the evenings, you can enjoy a stroll along Golden Beach with the sea breeze. It's right next to the Bajiaowan International Convention and Exhibition Center, and you can even access the neighboring Westin Hotel through an internal lobby corridor. The buffet dinner is fantastic, with an unlimited supply of seafood, including crayfish and salmon. Plus, free Qingdao beer is available. For seniors over 60, it's an incredible deal at only 78 RMB per person! I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

Visited during the off-season, so the room rate was quite reasonable. It's just a 2-minute walk to the beach, and there are shared e-scooters right outside, making it very convenient to get to Golden Beach. The hotel room was clean and well-maintained with relatively new facilities. A big plus is being able to use the Westin's pool! Due to a flight delay, the front desk was kind enough to grant a late check-out until 3 PM. Overall, it's excellent value for money. Highly recommend!

I specifically chose this hotel when I went to Yantai for Lao Li's concert. Both the facilities and services were good, matching the price. The staff's service and attitude were excellent. After the concert, I could also take a stroll by the seaside. The breakfast was especially good too. The only minor downsides were that the room was a bit dirty, though they started cleaning it on the second day of my stay. Also, there's no robot delivery service, so going downstairs to pick up takeout was a bit inconvenient. The large shower head in the bathroom sprayed water everywhere. I noticed many previous guests had mentioned this, and it's a bit disappointing that it hasn't been addressed or fixed.

My husband and I specifically booked this hotel for a concert so we could walk to the venue. It's also just over a 10-minute walk from the West Station. I was pleasantly surprised when we got to our room; the sea view was absolutely stunning and crystal clear. It was a very comfortable stay. Since we had a late concert ticket for the next day, the front desk was super accommodating and immediately extended our check-out time to 2 PM, which was fantastic. I think it offers great value for money. Although the breakfast selection wasn't huge, it was quite delicious. If I get the chance to visit again, I'll definitely book this hotel!
