Boutique Hotels in Xiamen

I really want to write a thorough and positive review. Upon arrival, I was immediately touched by their welcome amenities. The welcome tea was served with Minnan-style Juhong Cake and seasonal lychee cold brew tea, which was delicious, very authentic, and instantly put me in a holiday mood. The hotel's overall environment is beautiful. Considering its price and facilities, I think it offers excellent value for money. The entire space is quiet, relaxing, and not crowded, perfect for unwinding on a weekend. What I want to praise most this time is the hotel's service. Every staff member was incredibly enthusiastic, professional, and genuinely cared about the guests. Especially my butler, Sisi, and front desk staff, Lina. During meals at the hotel, if we were not satisfied with a dish, they would proactively offer to replace it, or even directly cancel the order without any excuses, which made us feel incredibly comfortable. During our stay, we experienced the hotel's rich activity offerings, including workshops on tea ceremonies, cocktail making, yoga, and more. This time, I participated in a yoga class and a cocktail workshop, and both experiences were excellent. Additionally, I enjoyed the complimentary wet sauna and used the swimming pool. The pool is truly beautiful, and with Xiamen's great weather these past few days – blue skies, green trees, and sparkling water – it was easy to spend a whole afternoon there. The room was also very comfortable, and the bedding was exceptionally good for sleeping. Since three of us girls were traveling together and wanted to stay in the same room, the staff thoughtfully added a sofa bed, making our stay even more convenient. I really liked the room's balcony, which directly overlooks Wuyuan Bay Yacht Harbor. On a clear day, looking at the sea, yachts, and blue sky, it truly feels like 'you're in Xiamen, yet you feel like you're in an overseas resort hotel.' Room service was also very meticulous. The room was tidied impeccably every day, and the turndown service was very ceremonial. The collaboration details between the hotel and Lululemon surprised me; not only were there well-designed, thoughtful reminder cards, but also a sleep-inducing fragrance spray. A little spray before bed slowly helps you relax. My biggest impression from these past few days at Qishang is that it is a resort hotel that truly allows you to slow down. Although still in Xiamen, it feels like you've left the city and entered your own holiday rhythm. Thank you to all the staff for your care over these past few days; every detail showed thoughtfulness. This was a very pleasant stay, and I highly recommend it. Next time I come to Xiamen, I will definitely return.

The hotel truly lives up to its online reputation; the overall ambiance is elegant and grand, and the service is professional and attentive. The rooms are spacious, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and the hygiene details are meticulously maintained. The toiletries are of excellent quality, making for a superb stay. The location is prime, offering convenient access to everything. Hotel facilities are comprehensive, and the soundproofing is excellent, ensuring a quiet and peaceful environment. The staff are gentle and detail-oriented in their service. Overall, the quality is very high and well worth staying. This is my fourth time visiting Gulangyu, and choosing Lin's Mansion this time has been the best experience yet. The hotel staff provided pick-up and drop-off service to the pier, and the room service was impeccable. They were incredibly polite, warm, and patient with both children and elderly guests. The hotel itself is very picturesque, perfect for photos. I will definitely choose this hotel again when I return to Gulangyu. **Lady's Qipao Experience:** The qipaos are of excellent quality and absolutely stunning, with a wide array of accessories to match. The staff were enthusiastic in helping us choose and offered great suggestions. The photos produced at the end were incredibly high quality and truly worth keeping. It's definitely an experience worth having for a souvenir. **Special Welcome Drink:** It felt very ceremonial and tasted delicious.

I first heard about Linggan Hotel through an article by Teacher Maori and immediately bookmarked it as a great B&B. When I had the chance to travel to Xiamen during the off-season at the end of the year, I booked a king-size room at Linggan the day after I booked my flight. I chose the Sanqiutian Pier for the ferry, as Baidu Maps showed it was closer to the B&B. After getting off the pier, it was just over a 10-minute walk to the property. The B&B has a rather large courtyard, and its location offers a peaceful retreat while being close to both Piano Pier and Longtou Road. My favorite spot was the small balcony seating at the end of the corridor; enjoying a cup of coffee from the downstairs cafe and soaking up the sun in the afternoon was simply delightful. The room decor was minimalist, but all essential amenities were provided, showing great attention to detail. The large bathtub even came with a perfectly sized liner. In the evening, playing some favorite music on the in-room Bose Bluetooth speaker was just perfect. The breakfast on the second day was a set meal, very generous and delicious. You could choose to enjoy it in the cafe downstairs or in the outdoor garden. Both the auntie and the front desk staff were very enthusiastic. I hope the prices don't increase too much during peak season, as I truly want to come back again!

Lijiazhuang Hotel is hidden in a quiet corner of Gulangyu Island, with a clean and elegant environment and a perfect geographical location. Its historical atmosphere and architectural beauty interweave a restrained and rich aura, which is impressive. The room we stayed in was warm and elegant, and it was one of my favorite spaces on this trip. The service is even more exemplary. The housekeepers Xiao Chen and Xiao Wang are thoughtful and patient, and respond quickly, truly achieving ”details are service”. Such a hotel with great care and full of emotions, with good user experience and a deep reputation foundation, fully has the sustainable advantage of leveraging trust and building long-term customer assets. The future is promising. Bravo!

I highly recommend the Shangri-La Xiamen! Even before my stay, the concierge, Yulia, proactively reached out to me. She thoughtfully sent local travel tips and even helped book family activities at the hotel, making the pre-arrival communication incredibly smooth. During my summer stay, the hotel was very busy, and we encountered a minor hiccup during check-in. However, Yulia actively coordinated and efficiently resolved the issue, making us feel completely at ease with her handling of the situation. It's clear that the hotel's service goes beyond the superficial; they genuinely listen to guests' perspectives when issues arise. Overall, our stay was comfortable, and the family-friendly amenities were excellent. We'll definitely choose this hotel again when we return to Xiamen, and Yulia's thoughtful and responsible service deserves special praise!

This hotel was originally the one I was most looking forward to during our self-driving trip. But this experience also made me once again determined not to book homestays when traveling in the future. First, let me talk about the good feelings: 1. Before checking in, the housekeeper took the initiative to contact me, added WeChat, and gave me directions from Sanqiutian Wharf to the hotel. I watched the video first to get a general impression and then followed the navigation to find the hotel's location accurately. 2. The room type I booked has two rooms. I was taken to see both rooms first and choose the one I like. 3. Wheelchairs, strollers, umbrellas, these thoughtful little items are all available. The child's foot was broken and the plaster had just been removed. We didn't bring our wheelchair to the island, but luckily the hotel had a wheelchair, which was a great help. 4. The environment of the small courtyard is really great. The guy with glasses in the hotel is a very nice person. He has a sense of boundaries and is very enthusiastic. He likes to chat with children. The restaurant he recommends is also very delicious. Let me talk about the unsatisfactory parts: 1. As soon as I walked in, I had a bad feeling. I was not greeted by ”Hello, are you checking in? / How can I help you?” but ”What are you here for?” ”What's your name?” ”The room is still being cleaned, at least an hour (but another room had already been cleaned)”. 2. The actual situation of the room...I can only say that the picture is rendered too well. Every item in the room showed roughness and lack of maintenance. 3. There was a serious problem with the sewer in the room. It smelled so bad that it made me dizzy and want to vomit. I put the minibar diffuser next to the bed, but it still couldn't cover up the stench. 4. As the most expensive room type in the hotel, one has a noisy heating device on the top and the other is close to the street with pedestrians and garbage trucks which is also very noisy. It is really not a particularly good experience. 5. The so-called free travel photography is even more outrageous. It is completely a traffic diversion. It is arranged in advance, but it is completely equivalent to no appointment. I arrived at 2:30 pm on time. There was only one makeup artist in the store. The photographers must have been out for work. Then the grandma said impatiently that it wouldn't be that fast and I should just wait. I gave up decisively.

The last time I came to Gulangyu, I was shocked by the scale and momentum of Huangjia Garden. This time I came to Gulangyu to experience it specially, it was a surprise! The environment of Huangjia Garden is very quiet. Take a slow walk in the garden, watch the gardens and buildings of the large families of the Republic of China, and touch the 100-year history of this key cultural relics protection unit in the country. The location of the hotel is very convenient, and the back door goes directly to the garden of Yuanzhuang and the back beach of Hong Kong. It was also very quiet at night, and you could see Sunlight Rock from the window of the hotel room. The service of the staff was very good, and Director Xiao Liu carried my big box all the way to the room.
