The free round-trip luggage transfer from the pier was a game-changer—especially arriving on the last ferry with multiple suitcases and backpacks. The driver contacted me in advance and waited right at the exit, taking all our bags without any hassle. He even gave us a local restaurant recommendation—so thoughtful! On departure, each bag was neatly labeled and left at the pier’s Suxiaotang shop under professional supervision—no stress at all. The sea-view afternoon tea in the century-old villa was pure bliss. Though listed as for two, it easily served our group of four—delicate tea, delicious pastries, fresh fruit, all enjoyed while overlooking the ocean. Service was surprisingly smooth despite having only one staff member handling everything: remote inquiries, check-in, room service—all while being a first-day employee. Yet he remained calm, friendly, and efficient. Room amenities were spot-on: kid-friendly slippers, a full laundry setup with washer and dryer, plus a drying rack. Free umbrellas are available throughout the property—such a nice touch. And location? Unbeatable. Our balcony offered direct sea views, and the beach is just a 200-meter stroll away—perfect for families with kids. This place truly delivers on comfort, convenience, and charm.
We first visited this place 30 years ago during our honeymoon—just one night, but it left a lasting impression. Back then, the vast beach had only this garden villa, with its own private dock—so unique and iconic. Fast forward to today, we returned to relive those memories, and were amazed by how much the hotel has evolved. Now a three-story modern property with a swimming pool and full dining service, it’s no longer just for government officials’ retreats. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming—especially when we arrived with heavy luggage; the bellhop immediately stepped in to help carry our bags to the room. A special shout-out to the male restaurant manager, Xiao Lan, who greeted us with genuine enthusiasm. He personally handled all our meal arrangements over two days, and every dish was delicious and thoughtfully curated. The breakfast was outstanding—fresh seafood, steak, fruit, pastries, plus a wide variety of drinks and vegetables, truly on par with a five-star hotel. This anniversary trip exceeded all expectations. We’re already planning our next visit to Gulangyu—this is hands-down our top choice, not just for nostalgia but for the exceptional experience and value. Highly recommended!
This stay was so memorable that I just had to leave a review even though the hotel didn’t ask for one—this deserves a huge thumbs up! The location is perfect: right on the main street, super easy to access without dragging luggage up steep hills. You’re close to everything—shops, restaurants, and attractions—but somehow still tucked away in a peaceful corner with a private seaside courtyard. Just sitting there sipping tea while watching the waves is pure bliss. The staff were incredibly attentive and thoughtful, especially the afternoon tea service which was beautifully presented and delicious. If I had to point out one tiny flaw, it’s the glass partition between the bathroom and bedroom—it feels a bit awkward in terms of privacy and design, but it’s not enough to ruin the experience. Overall, this place offers amazing value, comfort, and charm. I’d definitely come back.
This is a true gem for self-drive travelers! The location is unbeatable—just a short drive from Nanputuo Temple, Xiamen University, Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, Gulangyu Ferry Terminal, and the city’s botanical garden.

The hotel offers an elevator, a delicious and varied free breakfast, and ample free parking—no stress about finding a spot. But what really stands out is the staff, especially the security guard who feels like a friendly neighbor. He’s always smiling, helpful, and goes out of his way to assist. I genuinely hope the management keeps him—his warmth and professionalism make the stay unforgettable.

The front desk staff was incredibly attentive—they even handed us free bath salts, a small but thoughtful touch. We had a late breakfast and missed out on congee, but when we mentioned it to the platform, they quickly brought over bottled water without hesitation. Even more impressive: we accidentally left our car key behind, and the hotel noticed and reached out immediately—thankfully we were still nearby enjoying fresh sweet potato balls at a local stall. What stood out most was how easy it was to communicate via WeChat; any request was answered promptly and warmly. This place isn’t just a stay—it added genuine warmth and unforgettable memories to our trip to Gulangyu. Highly recommend for anyone seeking comfort, thoughtfulness, and a true retreat.

This was a last-minute, high-energy weekend trip with a delayed flight and arrival well past midnight. The host was incredibly thoughtful—keeping track of my journey and waiting up until well after 2 AM just to welcome me. When I finally got to the room, I was instantly relieved: it matched the photos perfectly, no misleading listings here! The bathtub was a game-changer—complete with a bath mat provided, perfect for unwinding after a day of over 30,000 steps.
