Hampton by Hilton Xiamen City Plaza

This stay at Hampton by Hilton Xiamen City Plaza completely exceeded my expectations—truly a 10 out of 10 experience. The room was spacious and bright, with a seamless smart control system that made everything effortless. As someone who travels frequently for work, the ergonomic chair and LED reading lights were a game-changer—perfect for unwinding after long flights. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, instantly melting away any travel fatigue. Hot water in the bathroom came on instantly, and the toiletries were from the lovely Petrov brand—subtle fragrance, high quality, and such a nice touch. The fitness center is well-equipped, and I appreciated the free self-service laundry area. Even the delivery robot added a fun, futuristic vibe to the stay. Breakfast at the third-floor dining hall was an absolute highlight—the space features a unique Tulou-inspired design, and the breakfast spread was impressive: endless options, including local favorites like Sha Cha Noodles and coconut cakes, all fresh, tasty, and satisfying. From the moment I walked into the lobby, I felt welcomed. The front desk staff were friendly, professional, and super efficient—check-in and check-out were quick, and they went the extra mile to answer questions about nearby attractions and transit. When I had a last-minute request during my stay, a team member promptly stepped in without hesitation. Even after checking out, I received a thoughtful follow-up message—plus, getting a missing invoice processed across cities was handled smoothly and fast. That level of care truly makes you feel valued. Despite being nestled in a quiet residential area, the hotel remained peaceful and undisturbed by noise. The interior design cleverly blends Fujian Tulou architectural elements with modern elegance—every public space is immaculate, clean, and airy, with no lingering odors. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just a short walk to the metro station, making access to major sights and shopping districts effortless. And with great seafood spots and restaurants right outside, finding good food is never an issue. This place checks every box—comfort, convenience, charm, and service. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Xiamen.

What truly stood out was the serene environment; right behind the hotel is a small hill with fresh, clean air that fills the space. Waking up to that peaceful view was such a treat. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive—always smiling, ready to help, and making you feel genuinely welcome. Location-wise, it’s super convenient for getting around the city via public transit, just a short ride to downtown. This place offers exceptional value, and I’d definitely book again.

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.

Seaview Resort Xiamen · shuiyuan Villa

Staying at the Shuiyuan Villa section of Seaview Resort Xiamen was an absolute highlight of our trip. The room was spacious, with a huge balcony that offered a perfect view of the lush garden—ideal for relaxing in the morning sun or enjoying quiet evenings. Getting to the beach was super easy, and the shuttle service arrived promptly, making transportation hassle-free. We especially loved the quieter, more private atmosphere of the Shuiyuan area—it truly felt like a hidden retreat tucked within nature. Breakfast had a few à la carte options, and every dish we tried was fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. The staff were consistently warm and welcoming—the housekeeper Xiao Luo went above and beyond, always smiling and ready to help. What really touched us was how thoughtful they were when our child turned five: they arranged a little birthday setup and even brought out a sweet cake. It made the whole stay feel extra special. We’ll definitely be back whenever we visit Xiamen—this resort offers an unbeatable mix of comfort, serenity, and genuine hospitality.

Chunguang Hotel

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. The room was spacious and bright, with soft, breathable bedding that made for a restful night’s sleep. I especially loved the blackout curtains—they kept the morning sun out, letting me sleep in peacefully. The staff went above and beyond: they helped me plan my itinerary and even offered free luggage storage. It’s clear they care about guest experience. A top-tier stay with exceptional value—definitely coming back!

Urba Hotel (Xiamen Airport Huli Avenue)

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.

Baina S Hotel (SM Plaza Xiamen Gaoqi Airport Branch)

Staying at Baina S Hotel (SM Plaza Xiamen Gaoqi Airport Branch) was a fantastic experience. The room was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the essentials—no complaints there. Located right near SM Plaza, it’s super easy to find and accessible whether you’re arriving by metro or taxi. I was on a higher floor, which made for excellent sound insulation—zero noise from outside, perfect for a good night’s sleep. There are plenty of food delivery options nearby, so grabbing a bite without leaving the hotel was effortless. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Honestly, the value for money is outstanding. I stayed one night and ended up booking a second because I loved it so much. The only minor downside is that it’s a bit far from major tourist attractions—but at this price point, a short taxi ride is totally worth it. Overall, a great choice if you're looking for comfort, convenience, and quality at a fair price.

Binbei Yiho Hotel

Arrived in the afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to find the hotel directly next to Metro Line 2, making travel incredibly convenient—especially for catching Li Jingru's concert just two stops away at the Sports Center Station. I was on the 22nd floor, and while some renovation work was ongoing nearby, the front desk had proactively informed me upon check-in, which showed great transparency and care. The room itself was spotlessly clean, with all amenities fully functional and the overall environment well-maintained. Staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the excellent experience. Even with minor noise from construction, it didn’t ruin the stay—just a small trade-off for such a central and well-run location. The value for money is outstanding, and I’d definitely return. Looking forward to seeing how much better this hotel gets with time.

Echarm Hotel

As a visitor from Taiwan, I was thrilled to return to Xiamen for my second visit, staying here for three nights during the summer holiday (I previously stayed in room R720). This time I was in room R627, and while the overall experience was still excellent, there was one small downside—the bathroom had a lingering urine smell that never fully dissipated. I’d recommend checking ventilation or cleaning protocols in that area. However, the breakfast was absolutely fantastic—freshly made noodles with a great taste and a wide variety of options. It felt like a real treat each morning. The hotel is also super convenient for exploring local eats: just a short bus ride away from Malong She Food Street, and even closer to Dianqian Qingshui Temple and Chaotian Temple, both located in vibrant urban villages packed with delicious street food. If I ever come back to Xiamen, I’ll definitely choose Echarm Hotel Torch Garden Station again—it’s well-located, comfortable, and offers great value. Highly recommended!
