Xiamen Siming District 2-star Hotels

I recently stayed at Desti Youth Park in Xiamen, and overall, it met my expectations nicely. The location is a strong plus – tucked in a convenient part of Siming District, it’s within walking distance to several local attractions, eateries, and even public transportation. Despite being in the city, the hostel maintains a quiet and laid-back vibe, which I appreciated after a full day out exploring. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, suitable for solo travellers like myself. Staff were helpful when needed, and check-in was smooth. The room was clean and comfortable, with basic amenities well taken care of. It’s not a luxury stay, but it delivers what it promises – affordable, functional, and safe accommodation. The common areas were well-maintained and inviting, ideal for catching a breather, planning your day, or having casual chats with fellow travellers. I didn’t use the kitchen or laundry facilities, but they were available and seemed well-organised. One thing I appreciated most was how Desti Youth Park kept things simple but thoughtful. Sometimes, that’s all you really need. Would I stay again? Yes – especially for short trips when you want a balance between comfort, convenience, and affordability.

Place was clean and close to the mrt station and shopping mall! Quite convenient if you want to travel via public transport. Plus they have an elevator

My review may not be valid as hotel was undergoing renovations. I stayed one night following 2nights . On my return trip.the lobby was partition with wooden plywood panels. Hacking was done. The location is fantastic as it is about 100 meter from railway station and 25 meter or so from the tube. Surrounding 10 to 15 mins walk U have more than 7or 8 malls. Nearest about 100m away. Food never a problem. Small shops and mall caters to all need. Had iPad screen fixed at very fast n good price. The rooms were being upgraded so my picture were only lobby prior to renovation and outside scenery.for ppl going first time strongly recommended. Hailing a cab is about RMB 20 to 30 depending on traffic. First pic upper center is train station.

Great location. Lots of food options around. Small side alley right next to the main road. Only 3 mins walk to Bashi and maybe 10 mins to Zhongshan Lu. No hidden stairs to worry about. There's free water, coffee, tea and ice cubes at the lobby. Sofa area and long table with chargeable ports are available at the lobby. Staff was accommodating when I requested for late check out and if I could store food in their fridge. We were on the 3rd floor. Hence, could see residential flats right across the alley from our window.

The hotel was booked temporarily during the May Day holiday. The overall feeling was beyond expectations. Chain hotels are relatively safe and secure. The rooms are clean and hygienic. There is a laundry room, which is very convenient. The most important thing is that the service is very considerate. The front desk not only provides smiling service, but also recommends delicious food. The service is considerate and meticulous. I highly recommend it if you come to travel.

This hotel is located nearby Zhongshan road pedestrian street (＜1 min walk). Bus or taxi stop is in front of the hotel. Zhenhai road Metro station (exit 3A) is about 10mins walk (the path is mostly covered so a comfortable walk). If you’re heading to the Overseas Chinese Museum or Nanputuo temple or Xiamen University, then board a bus at the bus stop near the Metro station. The hotel staff is hospitable and they are informative and helpful. I asked the staff to recommend local food and got really good recommendations. The hotel is clean and comfortable. Hotel did provide laundry service with free detergent but only 2 washing machine so need to wait very long as each wash plus dry cycle may take at least 1.5hours. However, information about the hotel and room on trip.com is erroneous. First, the name of the hotel is pronounced as Tong he shun but it’s displayed as Yiheshun. As the hotel’s entrance is at a side alley, it’s very easy to miss it. Second, I booked a room with ‘landmark view’ but got a room with no window. It’s different from the description shown on trip.com as shown on the attached photo. I ended up paying more to upgrade to a slightly bigger room with windows as I stayed a few nights.

The directions given are for taking taxi and if you’re driving, you have to park near the residence lift lobby. Parking is on the expensive side. Location and view of the residence is good. But the registration procedure for foreigners is tedious especially for huge group. I hope the owner can make things easier by just taking photo of our documents instead of filling the complicated form with facial recognition required. Condition of the residence is acceptable and the operator has helped to topup the towel and slippers as they did not give sufficient amount initially.

Stayed here from the 22nd to today, 4 consecutive nights, staying in the landmark Twin Towers, came to Xiamen for tourism and applied for a Taiwan Residence Permit. This is the room with the highest cost-effectiveness that I have ever stayed in, and it is much cheaper than other Twin Tower apartments. On the first day, I stayed in a room with full sea view on the 53rd floor. The photos were so beautiful. I wanted to stay for a few more days, but the boss said that all the sea view rooms were booked, so I had to switch to a city view room on the 24th floor. I didn't expect it to be more comfortable. For more than 200 RMB, I can have an independent kitchen, living room, washing machine, wardrobe, refrigerator, and the suite is 35 square meters. It's a huge bargain. If I didn't have to get the certificate and leave tomorrow, I would have stayed for another 2 nights. The first hotel I check in when I come to Xiamen next time must be this one ^ - ^

Awesome stay Location is just great. There are lots of shops around abd transportation is very convenient It took me less than 30 minutes to get to great beach, city center is even closer Rooms are very new and clean Love it

This was a fantastic hotel, perfect for our family's 3-night stay in a twin room. It was definitely the most satisfying hotel of our entire trip; even my parents insisted I leave a glowing review! The location is excellent, making it easy to get to most places by taxi. We appreciated the rooftop area for drying clothes, and the provision of disposable bath and compressed face towels was a thoughtful touch. The service was also excellent. A water dispenser is conveniently located on the ground floor. Highly recommended!
