For the vast majority of travelers, Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (XMN) is the most logical choice. While not located in Zhangzhou, it serves as the primary regional hub and offers the most efficient ground connections to the city. Travelers seeking a balanced approach to budget and speed will find the airport shuttle or high-speed rail options very convenient. Other regional airports like Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (JJN), Liancheng Guanzhaishan Airport (LCX), Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport (SWA), and Kinmen Shangyi Airport (KNH) are located in neighboring cities and require longer ground transfers; they are best reserved for those finding specific flight deals or traveling for niche regional interests. None of the listed airports are physically located in Zhangzhou, which has no major commercial airport of its own. Visitors should prioritize arriving in Xiamen to minimize total travel time, as infrastructure between Xiamen and Zhangzhou is exceptionally well-developed for both public and private transport.

Garden-style hotel, the environment is very good, parking is convenient. The room has just been renovated, so it is not bad, it is very comfortable to live. The downside is that the shower room will be a bit stuffy when you just enter it. The point is that it will not increase the price too much because of the holidays, and it feels very reliable! I am willing to live next time.214 Reviews
The Old Town of Zhangzhou Zhangzhou|1.98km from city center
This hotel is good, there are many rooms on it, the front desk service attitude is also very good, the night I first checked in, I found that the door lock was a bit problematic, the staff was also very good to solve it quickly, the attitude was very good, and I met two different cleaning aunts. Not bad, The sanitary products in the room are added immediately after use. There are many more than some hotels. The garbage is cleaned up in time. The mineral water is also free to drink! After the first night of staying, I immediately recommended it to my friends. It is also very convenient to order takeaway. The only thing is that there is a person. Every night, there is a small advertisement. It is a bit noisy on the side of the road. Other services are really nothing to say. I like the small round table in the room. Just sit and review! The room is also relatively clean and has no smell!FromUS$16

This extended stay felt even more authentic. The hotel staff were all excellent, especially Ah Jiao, who helped me with several issues and was very enthusiastic. I'll definitely be back next time. The internal facilities are comprehensive, making it suitable for both family trips and business stays, with a grand feel. It's also spacious enough for drying clothes.
The ground floor is very expansive, and having breakfast there is quite comfortable. The breakfast is abundant, and they even offer authentic Zhangzhou specialty breakfasts, which shows real thoughtfulness. In other hotels, I usually only get steamed sweet potatoes for breakfast, but here I had roasted ones for the first time – very considerate! Highly recommended!
I used to think that foreign-owned five-star hotel chains paid more attention to detail. However, I'm starting to believe that, like other industries, the future holds opportunities for local hotel brands. Chinese people better understand the personalized needs of other Chinese people, and local operations have an inherent advantage that will surpass foreign brands in the future.
However, there's a small detail I'd like to kindly bring to the hotel management's attention: I took my two children to the swimming pool on the fourth floor in the afternoon. I estimated there were about 30 children in the adult pool. Although there were parents, there was only one lifeguard, and that lifeguard was eating in a corner for over 15 minutes. This is extremely dangerous and poses a significant safety hazard. So, beyond the basic excellent service that garners good reviews, it's crucial to meet five-star standards even in unseen, subtle areas. This is where the progress in the differences between Chinese and Western management truly lies.FromUS$52

Choosing this hotel was such a smart decision! The front desk staff, especially the lady who checked us in, was incredibly attentive and helpful. Not only did she get us checked in quickly, but she also recommended the perfect room type based on our needs. The conversation was easy and pleasant, and her service felt genuine and not at all pushy. The attention to detail really made a difference and added a lot of warmth to our trip.FromUS$43

First time at Banyueshan, stayed in the Hot Spring Villa King Room, and the experience was still perfect! 💯
The room was amazing, with a super large private hot tub on the balcony. Just turn on the tap, and it's strontium-rich hot spring water – soak whenever you want, with excellent privacy. Soaking at night while stargazing, or coming back to soak after a tiring day of activities – this is what a vacation should be like!
The service was impeccable. From booking the free shuttle from Xiamen North Station, I already felt their thoughtfulness. Check-in at the front desk was fast, and the staff's smiles were very warm. There was a super rich variety of free activities; I worked out in the gym and even tried fishing. I was just playing around, but surprisingly, I actually caught a small fish, and my child was incredibly excited!
The overall environment of the hotel is very quiet, like a hidden paradise in the mountains, with excellent air quality. My only regret this time was not being able to visit the horse ranch – I'll save that for next time!
I've already recommended it to friends; it's definitely a hidden gem of a hot spring hotel that I'll revisit countless times! 🏞️FromUS$89

The service attitude of the lady at the front desk was very good. She added WeChat and responded to any questions in time. Because it was booked on short notice, the price would be slightly higher than some group buying platforms. I stayed in a garden twin room, but I could see the sea from the side of the balcony. The room was pretty good. It has been open for about seven or eight years, right? It's a little old, but it's still the best hotel in this area. Many people who come here to stay are family outings. You can borrow bicycles and kites to play at the beach, but the weather is hot and you can't play for too long. The hotel doesn't have any indoor entertainment activities or public swimming pools to play in the water. Fortunately, a small tent painting set was given so that you can kill time in the room. It would be even better if more children's play facilities were added! There is a coastal defense park nearby, and you can also go to the Senqiu Farm on Shuangyu Island to feed the small animals. If you are a little further away, you can drive 20 minutes to Shima to eat and eat. The two-day and one-night itinerary is just right. 👻FromUS$64

This is my second time to this hotel. The last time I stayed at this hotel, I felt that the service was good. I chose this hotel again. I stayed at this hotel during the holidays. The price has increased, but this time the experience is perfect. I must praise it! The service still leaves me with a particularly good impression as always. When I checked in, there were many guests at the front desk. Seeing that the front desk was busy, I sat down on the sofa. It should be the lobby manager. She noticed that we poured tea for us. Seeing that I was with the elderly and children, she prepared extra children's toothbrushes and slippers for us, and reminded us of the breakfast time. Check-in was very fast, and I didn't have to wait too long. Because I was with my family, the staff also specially arranged a room close to the elevator for me, and another room was also arranged for their new room type. Compared with the room I stayed in last time, it felt brand new. This kind of attentive service really warms my heart! When I checked in, I chatted with the lobby manager and mentioned that I might leave early and might not have time for breakfast. However, when I checked out the next day, they packed breakfast for me. Although it was simple bread and milk, the service details were full [strong]. I really had no idea they had prepared it for us. The room was also clean and tidy. In short, it was a perfect experience!FromUS$50

Wanda Plaza/Minnan Water Town Zhangzhou|5.49km from city center
I wanted to visit Zhangzhou during the May Day holiday, but had to give up because I couldn't get high-speed rail tickets. A friend who had visited before stayed at this hotel and said it was good for families with children, so I booked the hotel first and then tried to get tickets later. The hotel isn't far from the high-speed rail station, about an 11-minute taxi ride. Behind the hotel is a food street with a restaurant called Wenzai Sheng Tang (a type of hot pot), where we ate breakfast almost every day. There's also a pedestrian street nearby, which had events during the National Day holiday, making it convenient for eating and shopping. However, this area seems to be a new district, looking quite similar to Shenzhen. Only in the old town of Zhangzhou do you really feel the local culture. Also, I want to mention that the hotel's shower rooms leaked quite badly; the last picture shows that.FromUS$48

The room was clean and tidy, with a tasteful decor and new facilities. The front desk was very attentive to my request for a quiet room, and the room they assigned me mostly met my expectations. Soon after I checked in, they brought me some welcome fruit.
This was the fourth hotel I tried in Zhangzhou that day. The others, including Atour, had terrible soundproofing. It seems the hotel quality in Zhangzhou isn't great. Xiangjiang is definitely one of the better ones. Next time I'm in Zhangzhou, I'll only choose to stay here.FromUS$56

Our family had a very pleasant stay here on this trip! The facilities and amenities were excellent, and the service attitude was top-notch. Fresh fruit was replenished daily, and a different comforting sweet soup was offered each night, showing great thoughtfulness. The chefs at the restaurant truly deserve commendation – the variety, taste, and unique offerings were all fantastic. Breakfast was also very generous.
Suggestions for improvement:
(1) Consider offering night fishing. The experience would be greatly enhanced if some rooms allowed guests to fish directly from their balconies.
(2) The price of the fish caught was a bit high; we'd be more inclined to buy and try them if they were a little more affordable.
(3) The addition of outdoor hot springs would be a great bonus.
(4) During peak dining hours, it felt like the staff were quite overwhelmed, so increasing the number of servers might be helpful.FromUS$122
