2-Star Hotels in Kinmen

It was a great stay at the 7 inn. The host picked up us from the airport on arrival day and sent us to the ferry terminal before departure. The room was very clean with an attached bathroom with no need to share. There’s a busy kitchen but you can always ask if you need to use it for anything. The location is about 2km away from the city center so it’s easier to get around if you get a bike/rental. The host knows all the history about the place and beyond, a super knowledgeable guide when he showed us around the town and gave us tips and recommendations for local activities and restaurants. We only stayed one night and the host took us to the “燕南书院” which had a spectacular paranormal view of the island and a great place to spot the wild peacocks, a perfect ending for our trip to Kinmen. Will definitely be back and stay here next time ❤️

Yunfeng Xiyu. It's a new place, so you don't see many recommendations. It's clean and hygienic, with great views; the large windows let you enjoy the sea view without leaving your room, and you can even see the Golden Gate Bridge. There's also a huge rooftop perfect for watching the sunset. It's a standalone building, not right in the main block, but actually very close (probably ideal for someone like me who dislikes crowds and is scared of cockroaches 🤣). The owner, an older gentleman, is very enthusiastic, recommending all sorts of food, drinks, and attractions. He's also quite humorous, and we chatted a lot. I'll definitely stay here again when I visit Kinmen! 👍

This guesthouse truly exceeded my expectations! The location is superb, with plenty of restaurants and entertainment options nearby, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The room was impeccably clean and well-equipped. I especially want to commend the host; she was incredibly kind, warm, and approachable, providing attentive and thoughtful service with attention to detail. My stay was perfect, highly recommended!

A beautiful, historic homestay near the port with excellent service. High-quality bedding and comfortable beds. Walking in and hearing Celine Dion made it even more quaint 😂 Jack was super helpful with information about the ferry tickets, and even made an extra trip back to the port because I Ieft my umbrella behind. And his mom was very kind and welcoming too. A note to those who may be sensitive: there was a faint musty smell, which I’ve found common to many hotels and guest houses in humid climates like Taiwan. Earplugs are recommended for light sleepers, since you can hear courtyard and street noise in the room. Plan ahead for cash: nearby restaurants are cash-only, and the nearest atm is at 7-11, about a 20 minute walk away.

What I liked: the location is very convenient if you’re coming to Kinmen from Xiamen. The homestay is walking distance from Shuitou Port (about 15 minutes). The owner is a very friendly and helpful person. He helped me rent an electric motorcycle and responded very fast to all of my text messages. The homestay is clean (the cleaning lady is very kind, too! ^^). There’s a lot of storage space as well as lockers. The shampoo and body wash in the bathroom were also really nice. What could be improved: the bunk beds consists of a wooden plank and bedding, so it was quite hard and a bit uncomfortable. However, I still managed to sleep well and there’s enough privacy. There are no locks in the homestay. Basically anyone from outside can access the public areas and the room with the bunk beds, which can be scary for some solo travelers. However, the homestay has security cameras and Kinmen is very safe in general, so I was never really worried. The door of the room is quite heavy and makes a lot of noise, so this is something to be mindful of when it’s late and you’re sharing the room with other guests. All in all, I had a great experience and would stay here again. I’m really happy to have had the opportunity to stay at a traditional house for such an affordable price.

The homestay is a short walk from the bus stop (for buses No Red 1 and No 2 from the main Kinmen town of Jincheng) and a 7-11 convenience store. The traditional Fujian building is beautiful and an attraction in itself, with an atmospheric courtyard where guests could chill with coffee and/or a meal. But it has been newly renovated with modern amenities, and the place is very clean and well kept. The host was warm and really very helpful. When he heard that we wanted to walk up Mt Taiwu, he drove us to the start of the walking trail. He also gave us a contact for a taxi driver in case we needed a ride back. And when he learnt that we were tracing our ancestors, he brought us to meet an elder who might have a family register. Really thankful to have met a host like him.

I had a really pleasant stay at Kivala Hostel. The place was very clean and well looked after, especially the bathrooms and sleeping areas, which made a big difference for a hostel. The hosts were friendly and easy to communicate with, and the check-in process was smooth. The location is quiet and peaceful, which I personally liked, though it’s a little away from the main busy areas — something to keep in mind if you want everything right outside your door. The common areas were comfortable and practical, and the overall atmosphere felt calm and respectful rather than noisy or chaotic. Overall, it’s great value for money and a solid choice if you want a clean, comfortable, and relaxed place to stay in Kinmen. I’d happily stay here again.

The guesthouse has an excellent location, with restaurants, 7-Elevens, and Cosmed specialty stores right outside. It's also close to Kinmen Bus Station, Model Street, and the General's Office. The family room has a private bathroom, which, as the owner described, is indeed quite cramped. Cleanliness is okay, and the air conditioning, drainage, and hot water all work fine. The attic stairs are a bit steep. The living room has a water dispenser, refrigerator, and microwave, which is convenient. The lack of a pier shuttle service is slightly inconvenient, but understandable given the price. I would consider staying here again if I were to visit Kinmen again and stay in Kinmen Township.

This is a youth hostel... I initially chose it because the location seemed close to Kinmen Shangyi Airport on the map, but it's actually quite far from the airport terminal, not within walking distance... However, bus number 3 is very convenient for getting to the airport terminal if you know how to take the bus in Kinmen... The surrounding area is just a rural area called ”Xiguoshan,” not much commercial activity, a very quiet place...

It was the first time I rented a hotel that didn’t have a refrigerator in the room and it didn’t provide mineral water. He said that mineral water was not included in the total price. Later he said that mineral water was not provided due to environmental issues. If necessary, please go to the first floor to get some ice. , please take it to the same store on the 1st floor. The basic services are pretty good. There is generally no dressing table in the room. The mirror is in the small bathroom. If you have a dressing problem, you should consider the problem of not having a place to put things. The only advantage is that the rooms have private balconies, but the house is opposite
