Lujiang Mega Hotel

Stayed at Lujiang Mega Hotel during New Year's in Xiamen and was completely blown away by the experience. The location is unbeatable—right next to Zhenzhu Bay Beach, perfect for families with kids who love digging in the sand and enjoying the sea breeze on a bike ride. The views are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. Staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive—always smiling, ready to help, and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was abundant and delicious, and they even included a complimentary afternoon tea, which was such a nice surprise. The outdoor pool and dedicated family-friendly activity space made it ideal for both relaxation and fun. My kids had a blast, and I felt completely recharged. This hotel truly delivers on every level—comfort, convenience, and service. I’d absolutely stay here again if I ever return to Xiamen!

C&D Hotel Xiamen

This was my second stay at this hotel, and the experience was just as excellent as the first time. During New Year's period, the hotel was lively with plenty of family-friendly activities that kept the kids entertained. The guest manager, Xiao Luo, went above and beyond—she reached out before check-in to confirm details and checked in regularly during our stay to ensure everything was satisfactory. On checkout day, she even arranged a late departure without hassle, which was incredibly thoughtful. The room itself was spotless and comfortable, with soft bedding that made for a restful night’s sleep. The housekeeping staff were thorough and attentive, leaving no corner untouched. Every team member we interacted with showed genuine warmth and professionalism. From start to finish, the service felt personal and caring. It’s a perfect choice for families or anyone looking for a welcoming, well-run hotel. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to others.

HUALUXE Xiamen Haicang Harbour View by IHG

Check-in was a bit stressful at first, but the on-duty manager handled everything with great empathy and professionalism. After a calm conversation, the issue was resolved smoothly—and they even surprised me with afternoon tea, evening entertainment, and a bottle of wine. The next day’s airport transfer was excellent too; driver Andy was friendly, courteous, and helped carry my luggage without being asked. We had a pleasant chat throughout the ride. A few suggestions for improvement: the afternoon tea selection was limited, and the fruit—especially the watermelon—wasn’t very fresh. Dinner options were also quite narrow. The room stayed chilly despite running the heater all night—temperature barely reached 15°C, so adding a heating option would be helpful. Also, breakfast was missing some items, and they weren’t replenished promptly. That said, the overall experience was still positive. The staff responded quickly to feedback, and the views from the room were stunning—especially sunrise in the morning. One small disappointment: no capsule or instant coffee available, which is common even in budget hotels. Adding that would make the stay much more convenient for guests who rely on coffee.

Dinner at the fourth-floor riverside restaurant was a highlight: the ambiance was serene and romantic, with breathtaking views of the city lights across the water. The cuisine was authentic Fujian-style, beautifully prepared and full of flavor—every dish stood out. Breakfast was equally impressive, offering a wide variety of options from local favorites to international choices. The entire property felt quiet and well-maintained, creating a perfect retreat for relaxation.

The service throughout the entire stay was flawless. Staff were warm, professional, and always attentive—check-in was smooth, and the room briefing was thorough and welcoming.

Pullman Xiamen Powerlong

The lobby manager was exceptional—prompt, helpful, and made sure all my questions were answered quickly and efficiently. The hotel is beautifully situated right in the middle of a park, which made morning runs absolutely delightful. I was amazed by how passionate locals are about jogging—there were people everywhere, creating such an energetic vibe. Just behind the hotel is a charming pigeon plaza where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. My lake-view room had an incredible panorama—every time I opened the curtains, it felt like nature was right outside my window. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this place offers a perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Highly recommended!

X Future Hotel Xiamen

The service here truly stands out—friendly, responsive, and genuinely attentive. I reached out to the hotel manager, Mr. Cai, with a few questions, and he got back to me quickly with helpful solutions. The suite offered a great mix of city and sea views, spacious layout with two bathrooms, which was super convenient for groups or families. While there’s no bathtub, the rest of the amenities are well thought out, including a mahjong machine—perfect for some fun evenings. Breakfast was standard but satisfying. What really made this stay special was the warm hospitality and personal touch. If you value excellent service and a comfortable, well-designed space, this is a top choice. Definitely planning to return.

Swiss Grand Xiamen

My stay at Swiss Grand Xiamen was truly exceptional. The room service stood out—especially the dedication and attentiveness of Ms. Geng Hongyan, the guest services supervisor. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and well-being, making us feel genuinely valued. The only minor concern was the deposit requirement: a RMB 1,000 refundable deposit was requested by the hotel, which is higher than the room rate itself, plus an additional payment through the booking platform. While this did feel a bit steep upfront, it’s worth noting that the overall experience far outweighs this small inconvenience. From the elegant rooms and thoughtful amenities to the professional yet warm staff, every detail reflects high standards. If you’re looking for a luxurious and personalized stay in Xiamen, this hotel delivers. I’d absolutely return and recommend it without hesitation.

Xiamen Airlines Lakeside Hotel

Staying at Xiamen Airlines Lakeside Hotel in Bailingzhou was an absolute delight. The check-in experience was seamless, with friendly staff who even brought a welcome honey drink to the room and reminded us about late-night snacks—such thoughtful touches! The room overlooks Bailingzhou Park’s serene lake, and waking up to see egrets gracefully flying across the water was truly peaceful and refreshing. Breakfast was excellent—plenty of variety, fresh ingredients, and a pleasant dining atmosphere. I highly recommend checking out the fitness center: top-notch equipment, a sauna, and a stunning infinity pool that makes working out feel like a luxury. From service to amenities, everything was well-executed. This hotel delivers on comfort, convenience, and charm—perfect for both business and leisure travelers. Would definitely stay here again.

Kempinski Hotel Xiamen

I started with a king-size room and later switched to a twin-bed room. Honestly, I found the king-size room had a more spacious and open layout—much more comfortable overall. The twin room was still quite large, but felt slightly cramped in comparison, especially the bathroom area. It also seemed less well-maintained—the tiles had water stains, and there was a faint odor coming from the drain. That said, cleanliness across the room was still good, and the beds were nicely soft with high-quality linens that made for a very restful night’s sleep. If the twin room’s maintenance could be improved—especially around the bathroom—the experience would be even better. Overall, the king-size room stood out as the clear winner in terms of comfort and space, making it a great choice for travelers who value a relaxed, airy feel.
