This stay completely exceeded my expectations! The room was spacious and flooded with natural light—waking up to the morning sun felt incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating. Janice, the staff member who assisted with check-in, was warm, professional, and incredibly efficient—no long queues or delays. 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. Whether it’s for a weekend getaway with friends or a peaceful escape, this hotel delivers comfort, charm, and excellent value. I’ll definitely be back.

Staying at Conrad Xiamen was an absolute highlight of my trip to Xiamen. From the moment I stepped into the high-floor lobby, the breathtaking view of Gulangyu Island took my breath away—seriously, it’s one of the most stunning hotel entrances I’ve ever experienced. 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. The view from the room was incredible, with endless ocean vistas and modern, luxurious amenities that made every moment feel indulgent. Every detail, from the design to the thoughtful touches, exceeded expectations. This wasn’t just a place to sleep—it felt like a true retreat.

Linghai Hotel (Sunlight Rock Gangzaihou Beach Branch)
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.
The Westin Xiamen
Check-in at The Westin Xiamen was an absolute delight, mainly thanks to the incredible front desk staff member, Molly. From the moment I walked in, her warm smile instantly put me at ease. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and thorough in explaining all the details—nothing was left unclear, and I never felt like I had to double-check anything or make extra trips. Her professionalism and smooth handling of the process made everything quick and stress-free. But beyond just efficiency, she radiated kindness and genuine care. It’s rare to find someone who combines such polished service with a welcoming personality. Molly truly made my stay feel special right from the start. If I ever return to this hotel, I’ll be hoping to see her again—she’s definitely a standout. The level of hospitality here is exceptional, and I highly recommend staying here for both the comfort and the amazing people behind the scenes.
Andaz Xiamen
Staying at Andaz Xiamen was an absolute delight, especially given its prime location just steps away from the massive MixC mall. The direct indoor connection to the shopping complex made everything incredibly convenient—grabbing a bite, doing some shopping, or just relaxing after a long day was effortless. The hotel’s design beautifully blends nostalgic Peranakan charm with French elegance, and the lush courtyard with its soft play of light through the long corridors creates such a peaceful, serene atmosphere—perfect for unwinding. The lobby is on the third floor, and having luggage delivered straight to your room upon arrival was such a thoughtful touch. My room had a warm red palette paired with bamboo accents and herringbone wood flooring—very much rooted in Fujian style while still feeling luxurious and modern. Upon check-in, I was greeted with a complimentary minibar and fresh welcome fruit, and the Happy Hour offering a variety of salads, snacks, fruits, and local delicacies was a real highlight. I upgraded my room, and over three days, the service remained consistently attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. There was a minor hiccup during my stay, but my hostess Bettie handled it with remarkable sincerity—she apologized promptly, offered a small gift as a gesture of goodwill, and even included a local specialty. While I politely declined the gift, what truly mattered was her genuine effort to make things right. The second-floor spa was another standout—using La Mer products left my skin feeling revitalized and glowing. Overall, this experience wasn’t just about luxury—it was about thoughtful hospitality that truly makes you feel seen.

I did have a minor issue during check-in, but Ashley from the concierge team handled it instantly and with such warmth and professionalism that it turned into a highlight of my stay. Breakfast was an absolute treat—especially the sate noodles, rich in flavor and served fresh every morning. I ended up eating them daily just to start the day right. This hotel offers excellent value and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be back.
Xiamen Lujiang Harbourview Hotel
Staying at Xiamen Lujiang Harbourview Hotel felt like stepping into a timeless classic—just as iconic as Shanghai’s Peace Hotel. We arrived late and had plenty of parcels delivered to the hotel, but the staff went above and beyond with genuine warmth and care. The room was incredibly comfortable, the breakfast delicious, and even the tissues had a subtle sweet scent—a small detail that made a big difference. Sitting on the balcony overlooking Gulangyu Island’s sea views was pure relaxation. The memory foam pillow was perfect for a restful night’s sleep. The front desk staff, especially Miss Hong Anqi, was incredibly kind and friendly—so sweet, I asked for an empty card as a keepsake, and she personally picked out the latest one for me. The housekeeping team also responded quickly whenever needed. This is more than just a place to stay—it’s a memorable experience. I’ll definitely come back every time I visit Xiamen. Truly exceptional hospitality and attention to detail.
Linshifu Mansion Hotel (Gulangyu Island)
This was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Even before we stepped off the ferry, a hotel staff member called to let us know they were waiting at the dock. As soon as we exited the station, a friendly team member helped load our luggage onto a trolley and walked with us the whole way, sharing interesting insights about Gulangyu’s history and culture along the scenic route. Every question we had was answered patiently and warmly—no pressure, just genuine hospitality. The same thoughtful service continued on our return trip, with staff personally escorting us back to the pier. Our guide, a young man named Wenxin, was incredibly attentive yet so natural and unobtrusive—it felt more like traveling with a local friend than a formal service. We only asked his name while writing this review! The hotel itself is located just a 15-minute walk from Sanduotian Pier, passing by beautiful seaside views and charming island vibes. The property exudes old-world elegance with timeless charm, and the attention to detail makes it feel like a hidden gem. For the quality, ambiance, and personalized care, this place is truly worth every penny.

After searching for days, I finally found this gem recommended on Xiaohongshu—ranked among the top three. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service, and staff even helped with our luggage. Our driver waited over an hour patiently, showing great professionalism. Upon arrival, the warm welcome and attentive service set the tone for a wonderful stay. We booked a suite with a private little garden—perfect for relaxing in the morning light or enjoying a quiet evening. The room was spotless, well-appointed, and beautifully decorated. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered. Located just a short walk from major attractions on Gulangyu Island, it’s incredibly convenient. From check-in to checkout, everything was seamless. This place truly exceeded my expectations. Exceptional value, outstanding hospitality, and unforgettable memories. I’ll definitely be back.
HUMBLE HALL
I finally made it to Humble Hall on Gulangyu Island, and wow—this place truly stole my heart from the moment I arrived. The atmosphere is serene and warm, with a quiet elegance that immediately sets the tone. While the building’s history is fascinating, what really stood out was the exceptional attention to detail in service. Before arriving on the island, I was welcomed into a dedicated support group that helped confirm my check-in time and provided a helpful guide. As soon as I stepped off the boat, a personal concierge met me at the dock with a refreshing winter melon tea and took care of my luggage—such a thoughtful touch. Check-in was smooth and welcoming, with hot tea and tea biscuits served right away. Stepping into my room felt like entering a carefully curated sanctuary: vintage-style keys, handcrafted ceramics, and furniture with character. On the desk sat a handwritten welcome card, tucked under a natural stone—a small but meaningful gesture. Hidden within were several delightful surprises: 1. A personalized walking map of the island. 2. A pair of handmade afternoon teas—yes, the chiffon cake was absolutely heavenly, light and fluffy with just the right amount of sweet, paired perfectly with rich, salty cream. It might be one of the best cakes I’ve ever had! The pudding was a bit too sweet for my taste, so a slight reduction could elevate it even further. 3. A breakfast experience blending local flavors with an all-you-can-eat buffet—especially loved the yogurt. 4. Warm milk delivered before bedtime (and extra festive touches during New Year’s Eve: hot red wine and roasted cotton candy—so cozy!). 5. An immersive tea culture workshop called ‘Er San Cong,’ where I learned about traditional tea preparation in a beautifully intimate setting. Every little thing felt intentional—from the thoughtful amenities to the quiet moments of connection. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s an experience that lingers long after you leave. If you’re looking for something special, authentic, and deeply memorable, this is it.
Xiamen Zhongwei Gulangwan hotel
I was especially impressed by the pool facilities—both indoor and outdoor options are available, and the indoor pool has a perfect water temperature. I swam four times during my three-night stay, and it was such a relaxing experience. The cleanliness of the rooms and common areas is excellent, and the staff are attentive and friendly. Located in a vibrant area with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, it’s also just steps away from a beautiful lakeside park—ideal for morning walks or a quick workout.

I was particularly impressed by the excellent soundproofing; it made for a peaceful night’s sleep. As someone sensitive to air quality, I appreciated that the staff proactively provided an air purifier upon request—such a small but meaningful gesture. While the nearest metro station is about a 10–15 minute walk away, getting around Xiamen is incredibly easy thanks to abundant taxis and ride-sharing options, so it wasn’t an issue at all.
