Xilei Fanxin Hotel Reviews

Facilities: Comprehensive and well-equipped. Cleanliness: Spotless and tidy. Environment: I really loved the overall Zen-inspired design. The breakfast spot, restaurant, and cafe are right next door. It's a pleasant walk to Puji Temple, and the ferry terminal is within walking distance, making transportation super convenient. Service: The staff were all proactive and friendly. I also really enjoyed the complimentary travel photoshoot – thumbs up!

I've visited Mount Putuo many times, but this stay was particularly comfortable. The room was excellent, elegantly decorated, and well-equipped with amenities. The heating was more than sufficient. Upon arrival, I received a 'fortune goodie bag,' help with my luggage, and three complimentary travel photos per room. The photo quality truly exceeded my expectations – it was fantastic! There was no excessive beautification, just perfectly captured angles, and the free outfits provided were also lovely. In the evening, I could even book a professional foot massage service offered by the hotel. The hotel's location is superb, right next to the ferry terminal bus stop. It's only a five-minute walk to the pier for round trips to Zhujiajian. To catch a boat to Mount Luojia via Duangu Pier, it's just a two-minute walk. Plus, the hotel has a special channel for guests to board the Mount Luojia ferry without queuing.

The hotel is very close to the pier, and there's a VIP channel to Putuo Mountain, so you don't have to queue and can board the boat early. They also gave us three free travel photo shoots. The service was excellent, and the hotel's interior design is very unique!

The staff were very friendly and helpful; they even carried our bags and showed us to the ticket counter. We'd definitely go back, but it is a bit pricey.

The inn's location is super convenient, about 400 meters from the pier and station. The room was very clean, and the special rate I booked online included free coffee and a travel photoshoot, though I didn't have time to do the latter. Ms. Xiao Wu was also great; I got back late from hiking, and she still helped me arrange a late check-out.

The hotel's location is convenient, and the front desk service is great. You don't have to queue up to visit Luojia Mountain; you can go straight to the boat. Every time, it's Master Zhang Jizhong from the front desk who takes us to the boat, and there's even a free travel photoshoot!

The service was great, especially Uncle Zhang who drove us to the pier – he was really nice.

The hotel's location is great, and the service is warm and friendly. It's very close to the pier, and both Puji Temple and the South China Sea Guanyin statue are within walking distance. The only minor drawback is that the wooden walls don't offer the best soundproofing, but as long as the neighbors aren't too loud, it's generally fine. After the pilgrims leave the island at night, the overall environment outside is lovely and very quiet.

I've been coming to Putuo Mountain for a few years now, and this is my first time staying at this hotel. It's conveniently located near the pier and main road. I originally booked a duplex room, but since I had a lot of luggage and arrived early, the staff kindly upgraded me to an Ivy King Room and even helped carry my bags upstairs. The service was very thoughtful! Staying at this hotel also gives you access to a 'green channel' for visiting Luojia Mountain, so you don't have to queue, which is a great perk. The hotel environment is also very good, though the bed was a bit too soft and the pillow too high for my liking. Other than that, everything else was quite good.

The location is excellent, right by the pier, just a five-minute walk away. They also offer luggage storage, which is super convenient. The staff even helped carry our bags to the room, which we really appreciated. On our first day, we checked in early, left our luggage at the hotel, and immediately started exploring. If you're heading to Luojia Mountain the next morning, just ask the front desk. They'll issue a pass for staff to escort you through a VIP boat channel, so you don't have to wait – incredibly convenient. The bedding was decent, though the duvet was a bit thin. I'm not sure if it's because summer just ended. Since the room faces the road, you can hear people passing by in the morning, but the prime location more than makes up for all of that.

The hotel's location is perfect, right across from Luojia Mountain Pier, which is incredibly convenient. The room was clean and spacious! The hotel staff were fantastic; they even promptly informed us when our cruise was unexpectedly cancelled.

The room was pretty good, quite clean, though the pillows were a bit too soft for my liking. You can see the sea right from the window, and the front desk lady was also very nice 😊

The room was very clean and the air conditioning was quite powerful. Its main advantage is its proximity to the ferry terminal and bus station, as well as being close to the Zizhulin commercial street. Being on the 2nd floor facing the street wasn't too noisy, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, it was a very good stay.

XiLai FanXin Retreat isn't your traditional luxury resort; it's a boutique 'Zen-inspired guesthouse hotel' with precise positioning, strong design aesthetics, and attentive service. It's perfectly suited for travelers seeking tranquility, valuing unique experiences, and wishing to incorporate Zen into their journey, especially couples or solo spiritual seekers. However, for those looking for ultimate luxury, extensive entertainment facilities, or families with young children, it might not be the best choice. If you're visiting Mount Putuo and hope your trip is more than just sightseeing – an opportunity for 'spiritual practice' and 'mindfulness' – then XiLai FanXin Retreat is undoubtedly an excellent option. Its value lies not in opulence, but in the rare and unique experience of being 'close to the spiritual, yet not far from the hustle and bustle.' We recommend booking in advance and choosing a room with a view for the best experience. They also offer a complimentary travel photography package with unedited original photos – highly recommended and great value!
