Hotels in Jimei School Village/Xinglin Bay/Yuanbo Garden, Xiamen

As per my previous review, this hotel is the best Crowne plaza i have stayed at and one of the best hotels i have found in China. Without repeating my previous review, the rooms are new and excellent quality, the facilities perfect and the staff are exceptional - always friendly and amenable. Special mention for the housekeeping staff who seem to work tirelessly. I travel extensively so i can be fussy and sometimes dismissive of the ‘hotel experience’, but this hotel is really exceptional. I will return for sure

Facilities: Quite new and no smell, in line with Howard Johnson's usual standards Hygiene: Cleaned very carefully, almost no dead corners Environment: Right by Jimei Lake, the lakeside greenway is right outside the hotel, the air is good Service: Warm and thoughtful, especially the front desk kira, who is beautiful and good at business. Seeing that we brought our baby, she also gave us a hotel doll, a golden whale🐳, which the baby loved and couldn't put down

The service is excellent and staff exceptionally responsive, location very close to amenities and reachable by Xiamenbei train and Tianshui metro stations (includes pick up/drop off service). However, while the staff are all kind and friendly, the hotel's management needs to take action as the building's old age and centralised air-conditioning seriously makes this hotel's 4-diamond rating very misleading at best, and undeserving at worst. Despite the interior being renovated, the ancient air-conditioning takes ages to cool. When the issue was raised, the hotel staff claimed to only be able to set the central control to either heating or cooling mode. We weren't able to sleep comfortably at what felt like 25 or 26 degrees Celsius for two separate nights, due the staff apparently having to cater to the majority of guests who felt cold; we were simply told to open the window, which was also old and not double-glazed. The sound insulation is therefore also an issue as we would hear birds chirping in the morning, and adjacent rooms' doors slamming and toilet flushing at various times. The breakfast is equally basic and bland, while the gym and rooftop in abandon, which indicates that they may just as well be saving costs with regards to the air-conditioning. Again, this is not on the staff, but more constructive feedback for the owners and managers to invest in quality and consistency - that would make this hotel actually worthy of its rating.

It’s a lovely, clean place with very caring staff, and a special mention to the always-smiling cleaning lady. I appreciate the room upgrade, early check-in, and the follow-up for feedback after my stay. For those who rely on fancy breakfasts, just a heads-up—it’s a very simple one, but enough to keep you from going hungry. Considering that most places in Xiamen don’t offer breakfast at all, it’s better than nothing. However, as I mentioned to the staff, the drinks could be improved. I couldn’t find anything suitable—milk was sweetened, and coffee already had milk in it. Even just hot water with tea bags would be a better option. Also, keep in mind that reaching most sightseeing spots by taxi takes around 30 minutes. All in all, a great option with good value for money.

I love this hotel 🏨 the service is excellent . The staffs are very friendly and helpful .. The buffet breakfast is excellent too. Rate : 10 out of 10 Recommended!

I stayed here for a week and I can say I did a best choice. They offer a late night free congee buffet between 930pm to 11pm which is uncommon to other hotels. Thank you, Atour Hotel Jimei University and the staffs and to my little friend, Fu Yufei. Until next time...

When I checked in, the hotel service was enthusiastic, the hygiene was clean and tidy, the room was warm and spacious, the hotel provided laundry and drying services, the room cleaning staff was also very kind, the front desk lady was very enthusiastic, I troubled the front desk lady to help a lot during the few days I stayed, I am really grateful. The hotel is very convenient to the bus station and subway station, the room price is also very affordable, cost-effective, next time I come to Xiamen to play, I will choose this hotel again☺️

The Gloria Grand Hotel Xiamen is a truly grant: beautiful, luxurious, spacious. It is in a good location, close to subway that connects to the train station. My friend and I enjoyed hot water springs for a few hours. I had trouble with the safe in the bedroom and called for help. A service person came right away and helped to resolve the issue. The food was a bit more pricy that food in hotels in other cities, but it was okay.

The location is good, it’s close to the Xiamen North Station. The room is new and modern. There are great light-blocking curtains, it was really dark at night. The check-in process was a little long, maybe because they didn’t see foreigners before. Overall the hotel is nice, we often choose this chain
