Boutique Hotels in Fujian, China

Several major issues: 1. The complimentary water provided in the room was two bottles of Ice Dew. Having stayed at countless hotels over the years, this was certainly a first. How much more expensive could Nongfu Spring be? 2. Breakfast was incredibly crowded. The front desk was aware of this and even kindly advised guests to avoid dining between 7:30-9:30 AM. Who doesn't eat breakfast during that time? It seems the hotel knows about the problem but instead of expanding their dining area, they tell guests to avoid peak times. The breakfast area is right across from the front desk, and during peak hours, there was a long queue outside the restaurant – another first for me. The dining environment was also very cramped. 3. I booked this hotel specifically because I wanted to be able to open the windows for some fresh air. However, the small window above the main one just pushed open and couldn't be closed tightly. It was very cold during Fuzhou's New Year's Day cold snap. I asked about the central air conditioning, and they said it could provide heat, but all I got was a rush of cold air. I shivered through the night. Given this, I might as well have booked a hotel like the Kempinski with sealed windows. 4. There was no service from the front desk. A proper front desk concierge should add guests on WeChat during check-in. After staying for a day and a night, they only called to ask to add WeChat the night before check-out, just to solicit a good review. I understand service is competitive, but I'm sorry, I really can't give a good review. If they focused on doing things right, I believe good reviews would come naturally. Other points: the breakfast tasted good, the location is excellent, right next to Wuyi Square, and the late check-out until 3:00 PM was convenient. The connected mall is very convenient, and Yabao Paradise was fun. However, these positives don't outweigh the negatives; there were too many problems. I won't be staying here again.

This was our first trip to Fuzhou with family, and overall it was a great experience! The hotel stay was very comfortable. The 2.2-meter king-size bed had plenty of space for our family of three, making it comfortable for both adults and children. The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the subway station, and taxis are easy to catch! Both the front desk and the housekeeping staff were fantastic! I needed a band-aid, and the front desk promptly sent someone to deliver it – very efficient! Our room was cleaned quickly every day, and they provided plenty of bottled water. They also generously prepared extra toiletries for the child. Plus, the kids could go swimming.

The location is fantastic, right by Yuandang Lake, making it incredibly convenient to get around. The front desk even upgraded me to a room on the 7th floor with a great view. Honestly, I wasn't originally planning on staying here because I was worried that, being an older hotel, the facilities might be outdated and uncomfortable. But my friends in Xiamen strongly recommended it. The room was clean and tidy, although the bathroom was a bit old-fashioned with a bathtub. However, it had a rain shower head with good water pressure. The toilet also showed its age, but for a hotel in this price range, it really exceeded my expectations. The biggest surprise was the Napoleon pastry at their cafe. It was crispy, nutty, not too sweet, and not greasy. I actually think it's better than the one at Lady M in Shanghai. I'd definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Xiamen.

Great hotel, clean, modern, good location, excellent service. Highly recommended, wish I could have stayed longer, will be back again. It’s a definite yes if you are looking around for somewhere to stay in Fuzhou. Get a lake view room higher level

Hilton Fuzhou Sanfang Qixiang boasts an excellent location right by the Min River. After dinner, a stroll along the riverside is incredibly pleasant! The hotel staff are friendly and provide great service, responding quickly to any requests. The breakfast offers a wide variety of options, the environment is lovely, and you get a beautiful view outside the dining room window! The rooms are spacious, the bedding is comfortable, and I had a fantastic rest!

We arrived a bit early for check-in, but the front desk staff was very accommodating and processed our request. They even helped us switch rooms when the initial one wasn't suitable, which we really appreciated. The room was spacious, and the bedding was incredibly soft. We had a fantastic view of Gulangyu Island right across the water. All five of us loved it and are already looking forward to our next stay! I forgot to take pictures of the room, only of the view across the water.

Facilities: This is a 10-year-old brand, and the facilities and equipment are very well maintained. Cleanliness: The room was clean and tidy. The hotel has its own laundry room, so we felt very comfortable using the bedding and towels. Environment: The hotel's outdoor garden in winter is bathed in sunshine, making it very pleasant for an afternoon tea. Service: The staff were warm and helpful. Special thanks to Bill for upgrading us to a garden view room. The hotel staff's attitude was excellent. This is definitely one of the top hotel choices in Fuzhou. We were lucky enough to catch the hotel's Christmas tree lighting ceremony during our stay, which added greatly to the festive atmosphere.

This isn't my first stay here; whether for business or personal trips to Xiamen, I almost always choose the Kempinski. The location is convenient, both within the city and for getting around. What I find best is how incredibly smooth the check-in process is at the front desk – there's practically never any waiting. For both travel and business trips, a seamless check-in right after arriving at the airport is the perfect start to a great experience. Beyond the silky-smooth check-in, let's talk about the stay itself. The hotel offers both firm and soft beds, catering to more guests, which I appreciate. The pool is fantastic; if you want to get a proper swim in, it fully delivers. The breakfast, facilities, and everything else truly meet the hotel's positioning. I believe everyone has certain expectations for different hotel standards when booking, so I won't belabor the point (the same goes for breakfast). Essentially, anything you'd expect, they have, and it's all complete. Finally, a word about the staff: friendly, appropriate, and prompt. I think these points alone are reason enough to choose this place. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, the view from the window is also satisfying! ✌️

A truly excellent experience! The five-star service was absolutely impeccable. Just a note: swim caps are required at the pool. It would be great if disposable ones could be provided. Upon check-out, they even gave my child an adorable 'Zhuangyuan' (top scholar) themed water cup – it truly lives up to its reputation as the 'Hometown of Zhuangyuan'!

This is my second time in Quanzhou. I saw this hotel when I visited Xunpu Fishing Village and it left a great impression, so I decided to stay here. Oh my goodness, it was amazing! I booked a city view room, but because it was off-season, they upgraded me to a deluxe river view. The view truly blew me away! The room was incredibly spacious, and the bathtub had two floor-to-ceiling windows, offering fantastic views of both the bridge and the Ferris wheel – absolutely stunning. This hotel with its beautiful scenery is a must-stay when you come to Quanzhou. The deluxe river view king room offered expansive views and top-notch facilities. The mattress provided good support but was a little firm, and the bathroom was spacious and comfortable. The JInjiang River scenery outside the window was serene, and the service was professional and efficient. Overall, the experience was precise and solid, meeting brand standards, though it slightly lacked a surprising warmth or unique memorable touch.
