The hotel's location is truly excellent, and the front desk even arranged a room with a view of the Twin Towers for me. However, due to the severe price premium during Chinese New Year, the value for money wasn't great. The rooms were also small, comparable to a budget hotel. It's right next to Cat Street and the Twin Towers. The bridge to the seaside is a 10-minute walk, Shapowei is a 12-minute walk, Nanputuo Temple is a 15-minute walk, and Xiamen University's west gate is an 8-minute walk. The hotel breakfast was very mediocre.

Great location, unexpectedly spatious room (I might have gotten a free upgrade though), very clean, friendly staff! Amazing value for the cheap price!
Service: Five stars definitely go to the front desk ladies! Their service was absolutely amazing!!!!! They proactively offered detailed travel tips and were incredibly accommodating, recommending local specialties and even souvenirs we could take home. You really can't find a hotel this good elsewhere – what more can I say, Shenzhen is yours! They also handled any issues super promptly. We booked a 1.5-meter twin room, and the lady at the front desk immediately upgraded us to a 1.8-meter bed. I also want to commend the cleaning staff; the room was spotless.
Amenities: Pretty good! There's a projector, though the Wi-Fi signal was a bit spotty and kept cutting out. For screen mirroring, you need your own membership, otherwise, you can't watch much. You can also listen to music 🎶.
Environment: Simple and clear. The lobby is bright with plenty of seating for guests to relax. The hotel is only one floor, and Gulangyu Island is right across the street, so transportation is quite convenient. Just remember to close the windows when you sleep, as the traffic outside can be very noisy – it's not very soundproof.
If I ever come back to Xiamen, I will definitely book this hotel again and recommend it to my friends.
And by the way, here are some beautiful photos I took of Xiamen 🙈🙈🙈

I was visiting a friend who studies at Xiamen University. The hotel is great. Friendly staff. Excellent rooms. One small weakness was the shower which is not cold, but also not very hot. It is not a serious problem, but a hot shower is nice in winter time. Still, I would definitely stay here again. The location near XMU is perfect, the rooms are luxurious, an incredible value at this price. The staff are also extremely helpful. This hotel is my little home in Xiamen.

This guesthouse is perfectly situated on Huandao Road, one of Xiamen's best tourist areas. It offers panoramic views of Gulangyu Island and Xiamen University's Baicheng Beach, with all sea-view rooms. The night view is mesmerizing, and by day, it feels like you're flying above Xiamen with clouds at your feet. The service is warm and attentive, especially friendly to cat lovers. Step downstairs, and you're right on Shapowei Pedestrian Street, which is fantastic! The street is packed with incredibly good value Xiamen specialty foods, a feast for both the eyes and the stomach.

Hygiene: Very good, I don't want to say that it feels like a guesthouse as some people in the comment section said
Environment: Super quiet, the quietest hotel I've ever stayed in! The decoration of the room is not luxurious, but it is very delicate and comfortable, which suits my aesthetic taste!
Service: The lady at the front desk and all the staff were very attentive and enthusiastic. They even picked me up at the school gate as it was inconvenient to bring my child's slippers and luggage! A special reminder: if you take a taxi, you must ask for directions. Xiamen University has many school gates. You have to go to the Nanputuo school gate and walk for a few minutes to reach the Lin Wutong Building! Living in Lin Wu Tong, I feel like the air is filled with the scent of books! Living in Lim Goh Tong, it is very convenient to go in and out of the university. You can just scan your face to get there. The campus environment and architecture are also worth appreciating! I would like to make a special note that the two-yuan red bean paste buns at Xiamen University are really delicious!

The room is super, super, super spacious, a one-bedroom apartment with two large beds. I used the bathtub directly; it was very clean and well-stocked with toiletries. The bed was comfortable and the shower gel smelled great! The best part is it comes with its own garden, a cafe courtyard, and a pool. It felt just like being on vacation in Puerto Rico! The location is on a hillside, a quiet oasis in the bustling city center. Perfect for a holiday retreat~ I'll definitely be back this year!

The hotel is halfway up the mountain, and vehicles may need to let other vehicles go first. I arrived at the hotel lobby around 1:30 pm and was told that the room was not ready. The gentleman at the front desk helped to upgrade the room. The room was clean and bright, with powerful air conditioning. The surrounding Cat Street, Nanputuo Temple, Xiamen University, Shapowei, and the Twin Towers are all within walking distance.

11360195****The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of Gulangyu Island. It's tucked away in a quiet spot but still close to Longtou Road, where all the restaurants are, and attractions like Sunlight Rock and Shuzhuang Garden. We stayed in Building 9, which was very peaceful. It hardly felt like the bustling National Day holiday, but as soon as we stepped out of the hotel, we were met with throngs of people – truly two different worlds! The hotel has a private back exit for guests that leads to a quiet beach with very few people. The kids absolutely loved it, braving the heat and strong sun for over two hours, catching several small crabs.
The hotel used to be a government retreat and is now open to the public. While the facilities and decor are a bit dated, you can tell the original fixtures are still of good quality. The room even came with tea ceremony tools, and the kids had a blast playing tea master – the Dahongpao tea was delicious.
The hotel service is outstanding. They offer exclusive shuttle transfers from the ferry terminal to the hotel when you arrive and depart. If you're heading straight to the ferry after sightseeing, you can arrange a time with the hotel, and they'll deliver your luggage to the terminal, allowing you to enjoy your day worry-free. The staff are also incredibly helpful; knowing the kids wanted to play on the beach, they even brought sand-digging tools. When we encountered a staff member on the road and asked for directions to the beach, he simply walked us all the way there. We genuinely loved this hotel and highly recommend it.
GGuest UserI had lived here before and was quite satisfied. When a friend came for National Day, I booked this B&B for him. He said it was clean and comfortable, and the service attitude was good. We all like this B&B very much and will come here often if we have the chance. We are very satisfied.
GGuest Userthe scenery was gorgeous at night and in the morning,, definitely would recommend! front desk receptionist was also really helpful to us ! i bought taobao and both receptionist was very kind enough to help me find my parcel and the lady even helped me with the pick lockers because i was not a local so i did not know where it was. there are loads of food around the hotel as it was a 2-3 minutes walk away from zhongshan lu!! overall the stay in the hotel is very clean, and there was room service everyday so don’t need to worry if you make a mess. everything is provided as well and receptionist is also very kind enough to let us know about the scams that we have to be wary about! very informative and friendly personalities !! definitely recommend this hotel to those who are looking for a good hotel for an affordable price !
GGuest UserThe rooms have solid walls, so the soundproofing is excellent, which I was most satisfied with. The curtains are a bit ugly though, and the bathroom's decor is also a bit of an eyesore – it's a pattern of small black and white squares that gets uncomfortable to look at after a while... The service was great, very thoughtful. It's just that bathroom is really, really ugly 🥲. But the cleaning lady was lovely; she even helped us position our 'little white' (stuffed animal/figurine) perfectly, haha! 😀😀

GGMM’s diaryThe location is very nice not far from the airport and the subway with good price. The staffs are so lovely and kind. The room is clean and good. Breakfast is quite small choice but it’s not bad. It has a laundry room for free. You can keep your luggage and get them back. The bathroom is clean too. Overall I recommend this hotel.
QQrenshengdeyixujinhuanThis older, star-rated hotel is incredibly well-maintained. The hygiene and service are both excellent. You can even enjoy sea views of Gulangyu Island and the Twin Towers from your room. The interior is modern and minimalist, clearly having undergone a renovation. I was in a rush and didn't get to try breakfast. Parking is convenient, and it's very close to Zhonghua City and Zhongshan Road. There are plenty of dining and shopping options nearby, which is a big plus. They even gave me a free fridge magnet!
MM309877****This hotel, booked through Ctrip, boasts an excellent location with superb dining and transportation options, beautiful scenery, and numerous shopping malls nearby. Transportation is also extremely convenient, with easy access to public transport and easy access for those driving. The hotel service was also excellent; the staff were warm, friendly, professional, and attentive, making the trip even more enjoyable. The room facilities were also quite good. Highly recommended for those seeking convenient accommodations, excellent transportation, and quality service!

GGuest UserHotel is located in strategic location. It is very close to department store, walking street and metro station line 1. Hotel offers adequate breakfast and hot food. The room is comfy with big bathroom. The only downside of this hotel is no sound proof. I heard every noises from street horn, upstair, downstair and the worst of this trip was... my room is next to fire exit and house keeping room in the 3rd floor.
This was so so annoying and was interrupt with my sleep every night!!!
HHuoshanThis hotel is perfectly located right on Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. You step right out into a bustling commercial area with plenty of food, drinks, and entertainment options. Getting around by taxi is easy, and it's less than a 10-minute walk to Zhongshan Road Wharf. The room was spacious and comfortable, with excellent amenities, and the bathroom was clean and refreshing. Despite being on a busy street, the double-pane windows kept it quiet at night. All the staff were warm, attentive, and patient, and they even upgraded my room for free! Highly recommended!
GGuest UserReally grateful for the free airport pickup. Added their number to my wechat and called them using wechat. Was given directions where to be picked up and asked to send a picture of how I look like. waited at the pickup point and even message them at exactly which location I'm at. Received a call later to ask where am I and also messaged me the car plate number. As the pickup point only allow 8mins of wait time, the driver was pretty pissed when I arrived. I mean, couldn't you have sent a picture of the car and the car plate number earlier?
Driver was smoking all the way while driving and I'm unfortunately seated behind him, breathing in all his smelly smoke. He opened his window but that didn't help, the wind has kept blowing the smoke into my face. Luckily it was a short drive. I feel that the hotel should educate their drivers not to smoke while driving. This is so selfish.
I got upgraded to a bigger room because they wanted me to give a good review. My room has a big window with the street view.
Room was clean and nice. Slippers given.
Toilet was badly designed. the shower head faces the toilet bowl and the sewage system is not good. After showering, the toilet flooded. I only realised the next morning that there are some buttons that you can switch on for ventilation in the toilet. The toilet was still flooded in the morning but I think if I have known about the buttons earlier, it would have been dried in the morning. The buttons are in chinese characters. Ask for help to decipher them.
The room has a projector but nothing was watchable. You need to have accounts to sign on to their various content provider.
The hotel is near a small street market with awesome and cheap food. There was also some supermarkets opened late into the night.
Cannot expect much from sound proofing as dead into the night, you can still hear food delivery rider delivering their food to occupants.
The driver in the morning did not smoke but when I told him that nobody asked me which terminal I'm going to, he insisted that it is impossible for them not to ask. I also cannot be bothered to argue. Why would I sabotage my own departure plans? Suggest that before the driver drives off, stressed which terminal you are going to. Terminal 3 for International flights, Terminal 4 for domestic flights. And they are not close to one another apparently.
Otherwise, the bed was quite comfy. The socket above the bedside table is almost falling off the wall.
