Absolutely fantastic experience! Our little cottage faced a quiet courtyard that perfectly matched the name 'Yuan Bieyuan'—serene, peaceful, and full of charm. The room came with a projector and a lovely bathtub, making movie nights in the tub pure bliss. 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.
I visited Gulangyu Island solo, and it truly lives up to its reputation as a peaceful retreat. The island is small enough to explore entirely on foot, and getting here by metro was super convenient. I’d seen the name 'Pumpkin Tower' online and was instantly drawn to its charming vibe—my expectations were high, and the stay absolutely exceeded them. The villa-style accommodation was spotless, with impeccable cleanliness that stood out as the highlight of my trip. Every detail, from the furnishings to the service, felt thoughtfully curated. Staying in this historic villa made me feel like I was living like a local, which added so much character to the experience. If you're looking for a serene, authentic getaway with great value and warm hospitality, this hotel is a must-book. I’d return in a heartbeat.
The rooftop is an absolute delight! Lush bougainvillea blooms everywhere, with a charming European-style clock tower and rustic wicker furniture creating a picture-perfect setting—every snapshot feels like a postcard. The entire stay was flawless: the amenities are comprehensive, the rooms spotless, and the cleanliness is top-notch. The host went above and beyond with warm, attentive service—always ready to answer questions and share insider tips on hidden local gems. Sipping tea on the rooftop as the evening breeze carries the scent of flowers? Pure bliss. This level of comfort and charm, combined with such thoughtful hospitality, makes the experience unforgettable. A true gem in Xiamen’s heart.
The hotel's decor exudes luxury without feeling over-the-top, and the festive touches are tasteful and thoughtful. The front desk staff went above and beyond—welcoming us with warm smiles and upgrading us to a room with floor-to-ceiling windows without hesitation. It’s clear they care about guest experience. But the real highlight? The stunning ocean view combined with the private outdoor hot spring. Soaking in the warm waters while gazing at the sea was pure bliss—any stress just melted away. This place feels like a true retreat, effortlessly blending comfort, beauty, and relaxation. I’d come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Following the photos provided by the staff made finding the hotel super easy—right across from San Yi Tang, so it’s very easy to spot. What stood out most was the luggage transfer service; traveling with an elderly person and a child, I can’t imagine managing without it. Navigating around Gulangyu is notoriously tricky, but the visual guidance really saved the day. The breakfast was thoughtfully prepared and incredibly delicious, and the afternoon tea set was a delightful bonus. Sipping tea in the second-floor garden felt like a peaceful retreat—perfect for unwinding and even saving money on coffee. Overall, this stay was exceptional from start to finish. The hospitality, attention to detail, and serene atmosphere make it a must-visit. Highly recommended!
The room was spotless and the sea view was absolutely breathtaking—truly unforgettable. Upon arrival, the hotel proactively called to check on our needs, which showed such thoughtful service. Our original twin-bed room wasn’t ideal for traveling with kids, so they instantly upgraded us to a family-friendly room with an enormous bed—perfect for everyone! One highlight was the kids’ play area on the 4th floor. We called ahead, and within just one minute, someone opened the door. Even though it was just us, the concierge manager Andy Yang personally stayed with our child, playing games and keeping him entertained—our little one had a blast. When we were leaving, Andy walked us all the way to the car, reminded the kid to dress warmly, and made sure he wouldn’t catch a cold. That level of care truly touched us. From start to finish, every detail felt personal and warm. This place isn’t just a hotel—it’s a home away from home. I’ll definitely come back here next time I visit Xiamen.
