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!

Our company team-building event brought us to Huangjia Garden Binhai Hotel, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The property is spacious and beautifully designed with a charming South Seas courtyard vibe—perfect for exploring and taking photos. All facilities are well-maintained and thoughtfully provided. Cleanliness was top-notch throughout the stay, and the overall environment felt peaceful and inviting. Staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive—from check-in to our afternoon tea experience. We especially appreciated the welcome fruit basket featuring fresh milk lychees, which our colleagues loved for their sweet, crisp flavor. The South Seas-themed afternoon tea was a highlight: elegant presentation, delicious pastries, and a relaxed atmosphere that made bonding over tea and conversation easy and enjoyable. It’s rare to find such a seamless blend of comfort, charm, and service. Highly recommend this hotel for groups or anyone looking for a memorable, stress-free getaway.

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.

Absolutely worth every penny! This hotel is perfectly located just steps away from Zhongshan Road and the ferry terminal—saving me so much time on transit.

A top-tier stay with exceptional value—definitely coming back!

This was my solo trip to Xiamen for a training session, and staying at Urba Hotel (Xiamen Airport Huli Avenue) turned out to be one of the best decisions. I arrived late at night, and the staff immediately checked in to see if I had any special needs. Since I wanted a quiet room, they promptly assigned me a unit far from the elevator—perfect for a good night's rest. The next morning, I tried to sleep in but was disturbed by ongoing construction noise. Instead of just ignoring it, the front desk proactively offered to stop the work if it bothered me—I just needed to message them. They even followed up later via WeChat to confirm whether the noise had affected my rest. That level of care and attention is rare these days. The service went above and beyond, making the entire stay incredibly comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend this hotel for both business travelers and solo visitors alike.

We recently stayed here with my family and booked a standard double room—overall, the experience was excellent.

We could adjust the climate to our exact preference, which made a big difference. The lobby also offered complimentary coffee, hot tea, and bottled water—such a nice touch for travelers. Staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the welcoming vibe. With the great cleanliness, thoughtful amenities, and overall comfort, this is definitely a place I’d return to without hesitation.

Our kids specifically asked to stay here — and we’re so glad they did! The room was fantastic, and even though it’s been two years since our last visit, it still feels brand new with clean, well-maintained furnishings. The only minor downside is the empty pool in the courtyard — it looks a bit bare without water, but adding some plants could really bring it to life. Still, the swing was a big hit — my kids were swinging non-stop and laughing their heads off! The location is super convenient, just a short walk from Sanqiutian Wharf, and the overall vibe is peaceful and charming. For families looking for a relaxing, authentic getaway on Gulangyu Island, this place is absolutely worth a return visit.

Everything was smooth, thoughtful, and well-executed. A truly memorable stay with excellent value. I’ll definitely be back.

Staying at Urba S Hotel near Gaoqi Airport was a fantastic choice, especially for travelers with early or late flights. The hotel is incredibly close to the airport—just look out the window and you can see planes landing right before your eyes. That’s such a unique touch! Room cleanliness was excellent, and the overall hygiene standards were impressive. While there aren’t many dining options nearby—most restaurants are a bit of a walk away—the convenience of being so close to the airport makes up for it. I did appreciate that staff were available 24/7, which added peace of mind during my stay. As for the 'Sleep Care Package' and the lobby self-service coffee bar—I’m not sure if I missed them or they weren’t really in use during my visit, but honestly, I didn’t miss anything.

The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from Zhongshan Road Ferry Terminal, making it super convenient for exploring the city.

The moment I stepped in, I knew it was special: warm, welcoming staff, thoughtful touches everywhere, and an atmosphere that feels like pure good luck. I’d been dreaming about a specific room before my trip and even felt a bit disappointed when I couldn’t book it—but then, upon check-in, I was surprised with a complimentary upgrade! My wish came true unexpectedly, and that little bit of magic instantly elevated the entire experience. Even better? I ended up bumping into one of my favorite TV hosts right here at the property—just a brief chat, but it added such a unique sparkle to my stay. The breakfast deserves its own spotlight. The house chef prepares a rich, savory rice noodle soup made from shrimp shells—deeply flavorful, silky, and so fresh it’s almost shocking. Waking up to this every morning was like a daily gift, setting the tone for energized, joyful days. I’ll admit, I was nervous about the steps on Gulangyu Island, especially with older family members. But after some research and local tips, I found two game-changers: first, disembark at Neicuowu Pier instead of Sanguantian—it’s closer and much flatter; second, if you’re traveling with seniors, take the alley just across from Red Pig Restaurant to avoid the steepest stairs. My 70-something mom navigated it effortlessly, and even younger travelers covered the final 50 meters in under three minutes. No hassle, no fatigue—just pure enjoyment. The interior design is quietly brilliant—light, airy, and full of subtle details that speak to real taste. There’s no clutter or over-the-top decoration, yet every corner feels intentional and cozy. And the courtyard? Absolutely dreamy. Lush greenery, soft sunlight filtering through trees, peaceful vibes—you could spend an entire day just sitting there, sipping tea and soaking in the slow rhythm of the island. From arrival to departure, the team went above and beyond with their care—from personalized recommendations to quiet help with directions. Their genuine warmth made me feel not just welcomed, but truly looked after. This place has already made it onto my list of must-return stays. If you're planning a visit to Gulangyu, don’t miss this one. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a memory in the making.

Staff were incredibly attentive too; they offered luggage storage before check-in, which made our arrival stress-free. It’s rare to find such a peaceful retreat with top-tier service and stunning scenery all in one.
