After comparing several options, I chose Yuanji and had a truly pleasant three-day stay. The hotel's location is excellent, right next to West Street, making it convenient to get anywhere. It's just a few minutes' walk from Kaiyuan Temple, and dining, shopping, and sightseeing are all incredibly easy. The facilities are well-equipped and clean, and the service is attentive. They added me on WeChat before I even checked in and were incredibly detailed and enthusiastic, answering all my questions promptly. They also recommended some authentic local restaurants and travel tips. They even delivered coffee from downstairs to my room. Overall, it's great value for money, and I felt comfortable and at ease during my stay. My trip to Quanzhou was wonderful, and I'll definitely be back!

For my New Year's trip in 2026, I hastily chose the Yuanji Hotel, and it was a pleasant surprise! The hotel was clean and tidy, and the staff were very enthusiastic. You can get a great view of the twin pagodas from the rooftop, and it's super convenient for getting around, being very close to Kaiyuan Temple and West Street.

Stayed at this hotel for one night on the 21st, and it was a fantastic experience. The service was excellent, the staff had great attitudes, the location was superb, the facilities were new, and the price was very reasonable. It was a perfect stay that really enhanced my trip to Quanzhou. If I hadn't needed to meet up with friends and move elsewhere, I definitely would have extended my stay for a few more days. The location is truly great – just a three-minute walk to West Street, offering a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle. The hotel is relatively new, and the room size is just right. Their service, in particular, was very attentive and thoughtful; the young staff did an excellent job. If I ever come back to Quanzhou, this will be my first choice, and I'll certainly recommend it to my friends! [OK][OK]

The location is incredibly convenient for getting around. It's only about a 3-minute walk to Kaiyuan Temple and West Street, and Lin Zexu Memorial Hall is also quite close. On West Street, you can try many popular eateries that usually have queues. My tip is to go around midday to avoid the lines.

This hotel offers the best value for money in West Street. The location is superb, making it easy to get to West Street, Kaiyuan Temple, and great photo spots—it's just around the corner. There are many breakfast options nearby, and the hotel's coffee beans are excellent. They even provide special tea bags in the room, which is a really thoughtful touch!

Excellent hotel, not expensive, clean, friendly, quite new and with an outstanding location. Although it’s very centrally located right next to Kaiyuan temple, it’s still very quiet at night. Our room was on the street, with a couple of beautiful old trees right in front of the window. We extended our stay here because we liked it so much. I recommend!

Choosing the right accommodation made my trip to Quanzhou Old City even better! Yuanji Chao Hotel's location is a true gem, nestled in the ancient Sanzao Lane. It's just a few minutes' walk to West Street, making it incredibly convenient for visiting Kaiyuan Temple and trying Southern Fujian snacks. It's perfectly situated for peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle.
The hotel has beautifully preserved the rustic charm of the old red-brick houses, with a renovation that maintains its original character and a high-quality feel. From the corridor, you can catch a glimpse of the East and West Pagodas, and the rooftop terrace offers an unbeatable panoramic view. You get unobstructed views of Kaiyuan Temple's twin pagodas and Qingyuan Mountain, perfect for stunning photos. The rooms are simple yet comfortable, with excellent natural light. Through the window, you can see the unique Southern Fujian red-brick architecture interacting with light and shadow. The bedding is clean and tidy, making it feel like a cozy home away from home.
The facilities are impressive, with a cafe, gym, and game room all available. The concierge service is attentive and thoughtful, and check-in was efficient and smooth. Whether you're traveling with family and need a family room, or a couple seeking a tranquil escape, this hotel meets all needs. To find a hotel with such aesthetics, location, and comfort in the heart of the old city is incredible value for money. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Quanzhou!

You can't check in until noon, so I wouldn't recommend this place if you're arriving early. The front desk is tucked away around a corner in a small alley, making it really hard to find. My room faced the street and was incredibly noisy because of the school across the road. Plus, the shower leaked, leaving the whole vanity area soaked.

Response from Property: We apologize that we were unable to provide you with a satisfactory stay. The booking page clearly states that check-in is available after 2:00 PM, but earlier guests can check in as long as rooms are available. You arrived at 9:00 AM that day and requested a room on the 3rd floor. However, a guest had checked in the previous day and hadn't checked out, so we were unable to arrange your check-in at 9:00 AM. We are truly sorry. We usually contact guests a day in advance to send location and directions in case they get lost. You placed your order at 10:44 PM the night before your check-in. We do not contact guests late at night or early in the morning to avoid disturbing their rest. The fact that the hotel is located in an alley and cars can't drive right to the entrance is indeed a major drawback, but its proximity to West Street and Kaiyuan Temple is due to its location in an alley. There is indeed a kindergarten opposite the third floor, and it can be quite noisy during drop-off and pick-up times. On the afternoon of your check-in, you complained about the noise outside, and you refused when we offered to change your room. If you require a quieter room, we can arrange one further inside. Regarding the leaking sink, it was our fault for not addressing it promptly during your stay, as subsequent guests haven't encountered the same issue. There must have been something we overlooked, and we will check again. In any case, if you are dissatisfied with your stay, it is our responsibility. We apologize again and will strive to improve. We wish you a pleasant stay!

This was our first trip to Quanzhou, and we chose the Yuanji Chaoye Hotel. It's right next to Kaiyuan Temple, and just steps away from West Street, which is super lively. Transportation, dining, and shopping are all incredibly convenient. Our room was clean, tidy, and well-equipped. It was quiet at night, ensuring a good night's sleep. The front desk staff were very helpful and assisted us with our needs. This hotel is truly the best choice for visitors to Quanzhou.

When I came to Quanzhou this time, I chose a guesthouse very close to West Street, but I didn't pay attention to the details. Because it's so close to the street, vehicles can't drive in. The taxi driver had to drop us off on the side of the road, and we had to walk a distance with our luggage to reach the hotel, which felt quite inconvenient. Also, the hotel doesn't provide breakfast, and the facilities are not very complete.
