C&D Hotel Xiamen

This was my second stay at this hotel, and the experience was just as excellent as the first time. During New Year's period, the hotel was lively with plenty of family-friendly activities that kept the kids entertained. The guest manager, Xiao Luo, went above and beyond—she reached out before check-in to confirm details and checked in regularly during our stay to ensure everything was satisfactory. On checkout day, she even arranged a late departure without hassle, which was incredibly thoughtful. The room itself was spotless and comfortable, with soft bedding that made for a restful night’s sleep. The housekeeping staff were thorough and attentive, leaving no corner untouched. Every team member we interacted with showed genuine warmth and professionalism. From start to finish, the service felt personal and caring. It’s a perfect choice for families or anyone looking for a welcoming, well-run hotel. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to others.

The coffee was smooth and satisfying, just right to kickstart the day. The staff, especially Manager Chen and the front desk team, were warm, attentive, and always ready to help—genuine hospitality that made a difference. And the neighborhood? Amazing. There’s no shortage of great local eats nearby, especially the famous Linxi Barbecue stall right across the street—perfect for late-night bites after a long day. If I ever come back to Xiamen, this will be my first choice. A top-tier hotel with unbeatable value and a welcoming vibe.

入住厦门宾馆真係好驚喜!前台089一早已經主動加我微信,提前發咗周邊地圖同交通資訊,入住期間亦會問我有冇咩需要調整,服務貼心到爆。原本以為老店衛生唔會太好,結果完全唔使擔心——房間乾淨整潔,裝修都唔舊,保潔阿姨仲好熱情,見到就打招呼。早餐更驚人,種類多到眼花撩亂,味道亦唔錯,而且兩日嘅菜式都唔一樣,食到飽都唔厭。真心話,明年帶父母來旅遊,一定仲選住這間,性價比高到無得彈!」},{

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.

The service truly stands out—our host Xiao Bai arranged everything ahead of time, including a shuttle pickup and a well-prepared room. The driver was friendly and gave us great insights about local sights during the ride. Everyone on staff was warm, professional, and attentive. Cleanliness is top-notch—every corner feels spotless and well-maintained. While the amenities are simple and minimal, they’re thoughtfully designed and fully functional.

HUALUXE Xiamen Haicang Harbour View by IHG

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.
