Hotels With Pools in Fujian, China

This was my first time visiting Fuzhou, and since I was traveling with family during the Chinese New Year, I booked three rooms for three nights. The hotel's location is excellent, right next to Wuyi Square, so you can walk over to watch the flag-raising ceremony, or even just enjoy the view from your room if you don't feel like going out! It's about a kilometer's walk from the hotel to Sanfang Qixiang, where you can really delve into the residences of famous figures from Fuzhou's modern history. On the morning of the first day of Chinese New Year, the hotel even organized a grand worship ceremony and a lion dance performance, which was a great experience for guests. My only suggestion would be: could the laundry facilities be made free of charge? It's a small expense that shouldn't really be charged for. I imagine there are very few hotels left in China that still charge for washing machines and dryers.

Traveling with seniors, staying here was a good choice. The location is quite convenient, right in a food street with many dining options. It's about 700m walk to Guan Yue Temple. You can also reach the operating area of the 'Little White Cars' (electric rickshaws/taxis) within a few hundred meters. I suggest the hotel could remind guests at check-in about the most convenient 'Little White Car' pick-up point from the hotel. We spent quite a while looking for it. The room hygiene was acceptable. The window could be opened for fresh air, and the shower had hot water very quickly. The hotel robot delivery service for takeout was very convenient. Areas for improvement: The carpet near the elevator on the fifth floor was particularly dirty, and the air quality there was poor. It was like this for all three days of our stay, suggesting it hasn't been cleaned in a long time.

Very good hotel, close to biggest industry which is just a short walk opposite. Area is now much better than before ...food just downstairs ..kfc and Chinese restaurant in shoplots on ground floor.

I stayed at the Lakeside Hotel by Fuzhou's West Lake, and the environment was truly serene and pleasant. The service was attentive and thoughtful, making me feel right at home. The breakfast was a particular highlight – an impressive array of choices, with both authentic Fujianese snacks and Western dishes done exceptionally well. The fish balls were tender and flavorful, the taro paste was smooth and comforting, and the freshly cooked guobianhu (a local specialty) was piping hot, starting the day off perfectly. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable experience that I'd highly recommend.

Experience with Macro Polo (JinJiang) hotel is pleasant. Room is clean and well maintained. Location is a little away from city area about 20mins car journey (depends on traffic).

As soon as we got off the car, the waiter helped us take our luggage and sent it to the room. The room was quite large, in good sanitary condition, with all kinds of facilities. The service attitude of the front desk staff was also very good. The breakfast was rich in variety, and there was an electric car to deliver it to the hotel gate. The hotel environment is very good, the geographical location is excellent, and it is very close to the ancient city of Zhangzhou. My mother and I are very satisfied with our stay and will choose to stay here again in the future.

This hotel is located in the heart of Siming District, making it super convenient for getting around. It's really close to MixC Mall and the north entrance of Xiamen Railway Station, and also a short distance from the Cruise Center. The breakfast spread is fantastic, with fresh fruit and delicious dishes. The front desk staff and the lady on the 10th floor are very professional. The bellhops and the staff by the elevators are incredibly polite, and the coffee shop staff in the lobby are so welcoming!

The InterContinental quality is consistently excellent. The room was spacious, and the 2-meter king-size bed was incredibly comfortable. I loved the Byredo toiletries – they smell amazing! The hotel offers fantastic views of the river, the Ferris wheel, and Jinjiang Bridge, which are stunning both day and night. Plus, there's a shopping mall downstairs, making it super convenient for shopping and dining. Since I was with my younger brother, the hotel provided a complimentary breakfast, which had a great variety of options. Overall, I had a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Quanzhou.

## Review **Ambiance:** I'd say it was just okay, a traditional five-star hotel setup, pretty standard. But I'm not sure if it's because of the humidity in the south, but there was an indescribable smell when I entered the room. **Cleanliness:** The room itself was decent. However, some of the cutlery in the restaurant was a bit dirty. You can see it in the picture if you zoom in – there were hard white spots on the knife. **Service:** The cleaning staff in the guest rooms were very friendly and responsive to requests. However, the front desk service on the 40th floor was just mediocre. I've stayed in many five-diamond hotels of major brands in various cities, and in other cities, the staff always made me feel right at home. But in Fuzhou, they were quite indifferent. The only contact was a perfunctory follow-up call after checking out. I think you could learn from practices in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, as well as Guangdong. They often have dedicated butlers, and both the front desk and butlers actively contact guests, checking in and showing genuine care. Especially in Guangzhou, the service is so good it almost makes you feel embarrassed! **Food:** The breakfast offered mostly local specialties. I'm someone who isn't usually picky, but I found many dishes unappetizing, and the variety wasn't great. I suppose it's understandable if they're trying to cut costs. **Overall, I didn't have a good experience!**

This hotel is located right on Xiamen's busiest street, Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. It has a Nanyang style, and the decor is very new, but the rooms don't have a renovation smell, which is great. It's very comfortable. The family room is quite spacious with two 1.8-meter beds. The upper bunk of the bunk bed can even fit one adult and one child, and the safety measures are well done. The family room faced the street, and initially, we didn't close the balcony door properly; it wasn't locked tightly. Zhongshan Road is very noisy, which made it hard to sleep at night. We provided feedback the next day, and they took it very seriously. Staff quickly came to check the soundproofing strips and showed us how to lock the door for maximum sound insulation, which made the second night much better. However, the hallway near the family rooms was often noisy with children. You could hear sounds late at night and very early in the morning, including crying and shouting kids, and even clear conversations from people walking by. So, if you're a light sleeper, I'd suggest not booking a family room. Different room types are in separate areas, which offers good privacy.
