★★★★★ 9.3 (9,972 reviews)

"Luxurious hotel. We booked 3 rooms. They gave some of us a pleasant surprise by providing a good night message with local snacks and eye masks. Some of us didn't receive it but they quickly brought them when I called the room service. Luggage storage service was provided. It's 5-star so many services are expected. Would return and recommend to friends for sure."

📍 4th Floor, No. 193-215 Zhongshan Road, Zhonghua Subdistrict, Siming District, Xiamen
★★★★ 9.8 (2,715 reviews)

"Staying at Vshang Garden Chaosu in their 'Dream Bathtub Room' was a fantastic experience. Upgrading the room type was definitely the smartest move. It's a fully smart home, and the front desk staff went through all the controls for the lights, AC, and hot water before I even entered the room – very thorough! The tea aroma diffuser in the hallway, with its Tieguanyin scent, was so pleasant every time I walked by. During my stay, the butler was not only quick to respond but also helped me avoid several popular attractions that usually have long queues. The bathtub area was cleaned spotlessly every day, and the water pressure was steady with plenty of hot water, leaving me feeling completely relaxed after a soak. The room was tidied up perfectly, and there was an ample supply of bottled water. I took a few photos of the light and shadows around the bathtub, and they looked so atmospheric; my friends even asked where it was. It's definitely a spot worthy of being an Instagram hot spot. I'll be staying here again next time I'm in Xiamen."

Andaz Xiamen

Andaz Xiamen

📍 No. 101 Hubin East Road, Siming District, Xiamen
★★★★★ 9.5 (4,689 reviews)

"Exceeded my expectations, I'll definitely choose Andaz again next time! The location is superb, right in the city center of the island, making it super convenient for subways and taxis. Everything you need for dining, entertainment, and shopping is right there, so you don't waste time commuting – perfect for lazy travelers. The service from check-in to check-out was impeccable; all the staff were enthusiastic and thoughtful, especially Claire, who was professional and meticulous throughout. We opted to dine at the hotel for dinner; the Peking duck needs to be pre-ordered, as it's roasted fresh in an open oven, and it's definitely worth trying. The hotel itself perfectly blends Nanyang retro charm with modern chic. Every photo you take looks like a high-quality shot, and my friend and I could easily spend a whole day here without going out, especially to avoid the sun. They even had handicraft activities during the summer; I hope to experience them next time!"

New East Asia Hotel (Xiamen International Airport) ★★★
"It was truly terrible. The bedsheets were damp and yellowish-white, the bedding felt wet and only partially dried, and the bed was full of bedbugs. In reality, the only good thing is the location. I will never stay at this hotel again and I highly recommend that others avoid it too. The night I spent here was absolutely horrible."

Vishan Garden Boutique Hotel( Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street Store) ★★★★
"Had a very satisfying stay! The front desk staff (both male and female) were super friendly. They called me a day before to confirm my booking and shared some useful information about the guesthouse. The hotel is conveniently located on the bustling Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, making it easy to get around by Didi, subway, or bus. Plus, there are plenty of dining and shopping options right downstairs. The room was spacious; the family room had three beds, which was perfect for a family with two kids. It even came with a small balcony – just perfect!"

"We had a pleasant stay in Marco Polo. They upgraded us to a continental room on the last floor with a nice view of the lake and city. The room was clean and all the staff were really friendly and helpful. The lounge area is peaceful with lots of options for snacks and food. The buffet breakfast has many options of food and all of them were fresh and delicious. The pool and sauna are very well maintained. The hotel is also located near bars and cafes for late night drinks."

Andaz Xiamen ★★★★★
"Special commendation for Felix at the Andaz Xiamen's front desk. His service was professional and meticulous, and he was warm and courteous. Check-in was smooth and efficient upon arrival. When I requested a room type change, he actively communicated and handled it quickly, responding very promptly. He thoughtfully informed me of the hotel's various benefits and offered practical local sightseeing advice based on my itinerary, showing great attention to detail. The hotel's Nanyang-style environment is elegant, and its location is excellent, with direct access to MixC. Both the facilities and services are top-notch. All the hotel staff were very friendly and attentive. The lobby decoration is beautiful, with many fresh flowers. Thanks to Felix's excellent service, my entire stay far exceeded expectations. I will definitely choose this hotel again on future visits to Xiamen and highly recommend it to other travelers coming to the city."
