Home Inn Selected (Xiamen Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street)

Apparently we booked a room without a window (even if paying attention to the icons in trip.com) but the hotel staff made an effort to gave us a better room - great service. Aside from that everything was perfectly fine.

we book this hotel around 9pm at night since we suddenly require a new place to stay in xiamen. we book it through trip.com and everything was smooth. the only complain that I would have is that the toilet was rather smelly / stinky, but since it's very late at night we just don't have the urge to complain. but overall it's a lovely stay 😉

BAD! We were really disappointed from the hotel. First you have to put so much energy in explaining yourself with the stuff since they do not speak english and even with translate app we managed very hardly. Than you go towards the room and alll the long way of smelly corridors you have to pass there are opened doors of the hotel rooms where you can see the guests in underpants ( or whatever) doing stuff in their rooms… ?! You enter the room amd at first glance it is somehow ok cause you think that it is fresh because of the open window, you go to close it si ce it is cold and very loud just to realise that the window is lready closed but it is so thin that you have a feeling your room is with no windows… And at the end the top downside of all was when the receptionist refused to book us a ride from the hotel to the railway station and told us to go out on the street and wave on taxi cars?! First of all you can not find a single car on the street at 5 AM and if somehow there is a taxi passing by your side it does not stop if uoy wave but they only come if you book through an app that does not work on our phones and with our cards of payment. We explaned this to him but he still didn’t want to help us with the issue. The only good thing about the hotel is the location and that is all… there are many better options in the region, avoid this hotel!
