"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."

"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."

"The hotel is right above Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. The room facilities are complete, and check-in and check-out were very smooth and efficient. The room was also spotlessly clean. Everyone at the hotel was very kind and helpful. I compared several hotels before booking this one, and I wasn't disappointed. Its prime location on Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street offers excellent transportation links, and the surrounding commercial area is very well-developed."

★★ 9.9 (43 reviews)

"This blind booking of a B&B turned out to be a fantastic surprise! ✅ The location is superb, and the place is incredibly clean, with an excellent separate wet and dry area in the bathroom. The owner is super nice and always willing to help. This little haven truly enhanced our trip, and I highly recommend it! The decor is very tasteful with great attention to detail, even the toiletries are disposable and high-quality. The service is impeccable; they are warm and welcoming while still respecting your privacy. On days we didn't feel like sightseeing, just relaxing in the room with a cup of tea was a pure joy. We'll definitely be back for a second visit! A truly satisfying stay! The location is convenient, the environment is elegant, and the room is clean and comfortable with all the amenities you could need. The owner is warm and thoughtful, making you feel right at home. The value for money is outstanding, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting [City Name]. We'll definitely be back next time!"

"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."

Xiamen Blue Shark Sea View Hotel Apartment (Shimao Twin Towers Branch) ★★
"The room view is absolutely amazing, offering a panoramic view of Gulangyu Island! It's also incredibly quiet at night, which is great for sleeping. The on-duty front desk staff are super helpful; they have both day and night shifts, and their responses are always prompt! The two beds can accommodate four people, but it would be even better if there were two more seats for the sofa bench."

Xiamen Lujiang Harbourview Hotel ★★★★★
"This hotel, built in 1958, has a lot of character, and I really loved its newly renovated design. The location is fantastic, right next to Zhongshan Road, and from our room, we had a direct view of Gulangyu Island. Enjoying the scenery from the balcony in the morning and evening was incredibly relaxing. The service was thoughtful, and the breakfast spread was plentiful. The bedding was also very comfortable. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay; apart from sightseeing, we spent a lot of time just lounging around the hotel. As night fell, Gulangyu Island's 'blue hour' was absolutely beautiful."

"I came to Xiamen alone to travel. I happened to brush this youth travel. It felt super good to live! ! Maybe it is the most satisfying one in the youth travel I have ever stayed in! ! Love it very much, I will come again if I have a chance. The Youth Hostel is right next to the subway station and the bus station, super close, and it is convenient to go anywhere. (Line 3 Talent Center Station, it is also very convenient for Beibei to see the concert alone!). The male and female dormitory partition is obviously separated according to the number of floors, and there is an elevator, super luggage friendly. The internal configuration of the dormitory is also very complete, washing machine dryer, large balcony where clothes can be dried! There is also ktv, which completely exceeded my expectations! ! Because it is a newly opened youth travel, all the configurations are very new, so it is very comfortable to live. The youth travel has provided disposable sheets, which are very perfect, praise praise praise! And the atmosphere of the Youth Hostel is very good. I met a lot of new friends on this trip. Wow, I was very pleasantly surprised. I completely opened the surprise blind box, so I want to give him a big praise! ! I wish the boss a prosperous business! Do better and better! !"
