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.

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 Mehood Lestie Hotel (Xiamen Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street) was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just steps away from Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, with easy access to shopping malls like Zhonghua City and Tiger City. There are tons of local eateries nearby, making it super convenient for food lovers. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. On the ground floor, there's a free snack and drink station, and the second floor offers a self-service afternoon tea—such a nice touch. I was especially impressed by the 24-hour laundry facility with self-service machines, plus a robot that delivered room service orders straight to our door. It’s not just convenient—it’s futuristic in a good way. Everything about this hotel feels thoughtfully designed. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Xiamen.

Stepping into the courtyard, sunlight filtered through the trees, painting golden patterns on the stone path. A young man in crisp attire was quietly trimming dead branches with focused precision—his movements deliberate yet gentle. When he turned toward me, his bright eyes and warm smile lit up his face like a mountain stream. 'Welcome! Hope you had a good journey,' he said, voice full of energy, carrying the fresh spirit of early morning air. This military-themed boutique stay felt less like a nostalgic museum and more like a vibrant home built by passion. The space is open and airy, immaculately clean—not sterile or cold, but alive with intention. White walls gleam, handrails shine like training equipment, even the potted hydrangeas have leaves so vividly green they look freshly washed. You can feel it: this order comes from someone who lives by high standards, guarding every detail with quiet dedication. Inside, the room continues the theme of clarity and comfort. The small balcony is pure magic—a pair of canvas chairs and a little wooden table, just enough to sit back and watch clouds drift by, listen to wind whispering through the trees, or simply breathe. The 2-meter-wide bed is solid and cozy, perfectly balanced between rugged style and softness. And the standout feature? That standalone white bathtub by the window. After a long day, sinking into warm water with a hint of pine fragrance—it’s instant peace. At night, lying on the balcony under an endless sky, the stars are so close you swear you can hear the universe breathing. Location-wise, it’s surprisingly convenient—major sights feel just around the corner, yet the moment you step back into the courtyard, everything slows down. It’s the perfect base for both adventure and retreat. Later that evening, I saw him sweeping fallen leaves again, carefully gathering them near the tree roots. In that quiet moment, something clicked: this beauty isn’t about history or nostalgia. It’s not preserved—it’s created. By a young soul fully present, pouring love into every corner. Staying here wasn’t just about resting—it was about feeling inspired, recharged, reminded that life can be both grounded and full of light. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s a living poem about purpose, energy, and joy.

Visiting Gulangyu in the off-season was absolutely perfect for a family getaway with my toddler! Late December still had warm days where we could comfortably wear shorts and t-shirts, and the streets were bursting with blooming flowers—such a joyful atmosphere. Our host met us at the pier, helped carry our luggage, and gave us a friendly, informative walk-through of the island’s highlights during the journey. Upon arrival, he personally escorted us to our room and even laid out a customized itinerary tailored for families with kids. The villa itself isn’t huge, but it’s cozy and well-designed for a family of three—super cute decor, and the little balcony was our favorite spot to relax with morning coffee and sea breeze. My daughter fell in love instantly and even made friends with the staff, promising to come back next year! The attention to detail, warmth, and genuine hospitality really made this trip unforgettable.
