It's been so long since a hotel made us want to write a review even before checking out, haha! A special thanks to Pearl Cheng, the Guest Relations Manager, for reserving our room, arranging the anniversary setup, and providing so many thoughtful services. We chose this hotel because we've always had a great impression of Langham in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. So, whenever we travel and there's a Langham in the city, we always allocate two nights to stay there. This time, for our short holiday in Xiamen, we started with Langham as well.
The hotel facilities are very well-maintained, and the view from the window is spectacular. The Bak Kut Teh and Satay Noodles (p5) for breakfast were excellent. I had a feeling they would offer Xiamen specialties since the Langham in Guangdong had amazing 'cheong fun' (rice noodle rolls), and I was right – they were fantastic. The offerings at the cafe and lounge also left a deep impression; it was very relaxing to sit there in the afternoon.
Since it was our anniversary, Manager Cheng left us a cake (p1) and thoughtfully noticed that we arrived late on the first day, suggesting they prepare it for us on the second day instead. The souvenir she prepared was also exquisite. Room service (p2) was very fast, and the food was exceptionally good.
On the second night, there was a continuous buzzing sound in the bathroom. We reported it, and a technician arrived very quickly. He was very professional, troubleshooting the issue by turning off and on various devices like the air conditioning, quickly pinpointing and fixing the problem. Before leaving, he even adjusted the air conditioning back to its original temperature – such attention to detail, very reassuring. Another detail: the accompanying staff member on duty offered to change our room immediately if the issue couldn't be resolved quickly, and then move our luggage the next day so as not to disturb our rest. This kind of service is truly unheard of in other hotels; I genuinely commend them.
The marble in the bathroom looked like it was of excellent quality. The only minor flaw was that it would have been even better if the towels weren't yellowish. Overall, this hotel definitely added a positive impression to my experience in Xiamen. I regret not staying here last time, haha! Both the initial contact and follow-ups were very prompt. What truly impressed me was that when I told Manager Cheng on the phone that I would definitely write a detailed positive review, she was more concerned about any issues I might have experienced rather than the review itself. It's truly hard not to admire that.
I hope the hotel continues to thrive, and I look forward to seeing you again on my next visit to Xiamen.
