“Excellent location & great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2010

The hotel's location is excellent- shopping and dining are close by, as is the lovely Zhongshan park. We had a room with french doors that opened onto a large balcony- it was great! The shower had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The bed was comfortable and surprisingly soft a Chinese hotel in this price range. The carpeting and some of the furnishings were a bit worn and had some cigarette burns. The breakfast buffet was included and had both western and Chinese food- it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad considering the price of the room. Overall I was pleased with this hotel and will probably return- it is an excellent value.

“Good value, average rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2009

This hotel was recommended by a friend in Xiamen when we asked about a "nice hotel for under 300 RMB/nt". For the price we paid (about 275 RMB) it was quite nice! Located very near shopping, restaurants, and the ferry terminal. My husband and I had a "king room" which was actually a queen bed. The room was a bit small, but was comfortable and still a great value for the money. Interesting room arrangements... sink in the middle of the room, show and toilet separate. It was very contemporary and reminded me of a hotel we once stayed at in Kuala Lumpur that had once been offices and was converted into hotel rooms.

My mom and brother stayed in a room with 2 single beds... and theirs was very nice! We still paid only about 295 RMB for their room, and it was more of a suite. Located on the 2nd floor, there were only 2 rooms like it with a huge balcony where you would basically walk out over the hotel sign. Nice, big bathroom and very spacious. Their only complaint was that their A/C wasn't as cold as ours was (bigger room maybe?).

I would recommend this place for the value and location.

“Good location/tiny contemporary cosy room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2009

Jan 2009. We had the Deluxe King Room; it had contemporary decor, was tiny - 10 steps from the door to the window, and 8 steps across. A Queen-size bed with about 2 feet clearance all round. There was a short writing table. The TV had 123 channels (!!)
Separated toilet/bath cubicle which were tiny (again !).
Staff were helpful but not too good in English. We asked for extra pillows which were not delivered. Clean/safe/quiet. Breakfast of local food was adequate. Only one electrical point for all your battery -charging needs.
15 mins walk to pedestrianised ZhongShan Rd; the main shopping street.
