The location is perfect—walking distance to Bai Cheng Beach, Hulishan Fort, and the coastal road, with buses stopping right outside. The room was modern, clean, and well-maintained. 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.

Staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Xiamen Baiwuzhou Park was a great experience overall. The room decor is straightforward but well-maintained, and since it opened just last year, everything feels fresh and clean. I was originally booked into a smaller room, but thanks to the front desk staff Sandra, I got upgraded to a larger one—such a pleasant surprise! As part of the Hilton family, the hotel offers reliable quality and service. Located right next to the historic Xiamen Old Tea Factory, the subtle aroma of roasted tea drifts through the open window every now and then—really adds character to the stay.

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.

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.

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.
