Xiamen Motels | Places to Stay in Xiamen

May 6, 2023 Terina Blouin

The livable, lovable city of Xiamen teems with university students buzzing amid Buddhist temples, art galleries and beautiful parks. The city is actually comprised of islands; one of which, Gulangyu, is a peaceful bohemian oasis that's completely vehicle-free. Nibble on some glass noodles or juicy dumplings while perusing shops stuffed with antiques, delicate beads or ceramics.

Jumping off the taxi in the front gate and look around: generally good environment with some quietness on the streets amongst one of the noisiest and traffic-jammed part of the city, and the pedestrian flow is low; looking at the lines of trees sprouted out from the side of the pedestrian walks, it quite been bestowed a "green", "clean", and "simple" kind of sentiment. But hold my beer. Dragging my luggage up the dusty yellow marble stairs (no slopes) with hiatus and nicks, I had to push through manually an electric door with fingerprints, paints all over its aging mustard-like glass in order to pound my feet (a euphemistic way of saying sliding for the sand on the ground) on the somnolent lobby floor. The check-in process was smooth, despite a little fuss at the greasy fob and a piece of wrinkled antique card paper that did its best in holding it before the possibility of being out-of-use and recycled in eternity, and, I gave this a huzzah on behalf of Greta Thunberg. As per the other review above (or maybe below), I can confirm the elevator was functional but quite daunting with faint glimmers of white sprinkling down from the incandescent light, with dirt from construction projects in the building all over the place and floor covered by a piece of wood to ensure traction, and whilst going up in a slow velocity I felt it trembling like when a plane going through turbulence. Stepping out of the elevator, there is the staircase to the left still under construction subjecting to the baking July sun, which, I will take later in circumventing the traumatising experience in the elevator; and to the right, was the corridor of open room doors (hence good ventilation, duh) and that kind of cold, bleak and remote feeling comparable to that of Frankenstein streams up my vertebrae and crystalised like how Elsa built the castle in Frozen. Only walking through rooms of open doors did I realise that I was, probably, the only guest at this hotel--a mere insinuation of how poor the condition was that it could be emptied bottom-up, all but me, in the busiest vacation time of the year that no one would tolerate staying there, and the construction guy by the staircase who tried to punch nails on the hotel wall with a hammer in the 35°C Southern China-weather. I opened up my door and, at first sight I had no much objection despite the vague smell of unfresh air and the over-simplicity of the room; form follows functions, right? Nein. I took a closer glance, only to realize that the bed was infested with extremely small black dots (maybe bugs?)... All over the sheets... The air conditioner was out of order and could only blow air (which was warm) from the outside, and not to mention the moldy smell it emitted; the table and the seats were full of dust that I doubted if anyone had even settled in this room; the internet was also dysfunctional, embroidered itself as the salient flower amidst the already 5G-streaming China. It was only a matter of 30 minutes that I deliberately checked out of the hotel (if you even want to call it hotel lol) and looked forward to Hualuxe on the other side of the city, where I took a in-depth to end my struggle with the stickiness and odor from accidentally lying on this "hotel's" "bed". Overall, once you unveiled that facade of this hotel, you will find yourself in a interminable agony under the roof of a decrepitness. Not to mention I booked the "Business Room".

第一次住如家商旅,实际感受比心里预期差一些,这家店在一个山坡上,偶尔司机不愿上去,。我住的大床房,很小,设施也很一般,周围环境不好,坦白的说,不知道如家搞这个商旅意义为何。只有大堂看着比普通如家高大一些,此外,早餐比较丰富了。

good business room but noisy

Reviewed By tripAd858

typical business style room : large; comofrtable and fully equipped. But the surrondings are quite noisy : car traffic of course and construction works of new subway system. Very good location facing the city center train station and BRT bus services linking to the airport.

Super 8 Hotel Xiamen Shi Dai Ya Ju (9 to 13 Sept 2013)

Reviewed By Scym96

Located 10 mins drive from the Train station although not near the main tourist attraction, it is a good location for traveling around Xiamen. Taxi will be hard to get during the peak hour and you have to go to the main road to get it. Around the hotel, there are plenty of choice for meals and coffee. Staff are generally nice but i was caught by surprise when one of the main receptionist informed me that free bottle drinks are only available on the first day of check in when i have it almost daily. Room is spacious and whle there, it was in a midst of renovation, work will starts at around 830 am and last till 6pm. Noise insulation wise, it is quite bad as i am able to listen to the TV set next door when lying down on the bed. The basic stuff are sufficient but not as good as what you can find else where. Wireless internet is fine. Breakfast wise, it is very basic chinese food and try to be early as there are no refill for late comers.

Clean, modern rooms, as to expected from this well established chain. Reasonably priced rooms in what has become a very expensive city. This is my first choice for mid range travellers, slightly cheaper than the Hilford. Salmon duvets and yellow bathroom tiles as usual

This Hanting Express' rooms are tiny even in comparison with other budget chains. I felt I was staying in some Hong Kong hostel. You are provided with toothbrush and tooth paste, water, water heater, and comb. Service is good, attentive, and prompt.
