Cheap Hotels in Xiamen

"The hotel offers a complimentary 24-hour airport shuttle service. Pickup from the airport is very quick and doesn't require a prior reservation; you just need to call the hotel upon arrival to arrange a meeting point. For departures, the hotel provides a shuttle schedule. It's very convenient and highly recommended."

"Since I was visiting Gulangyu the next day, I decided to stay here for a night to avoid the morning traffic, and overall, it was a great experience. The room was spacious and offered a direct view of Gulangyu. It even came with a microwave, which is something other hotels usually don't provide, and I found that very convenient, even though I didn't use it. If I had to suggest any improvements, it would be that the hotel entrance had a very strong fragrance. Also, my child's clothes got stained from food, and the hotel didn't have a laundry room. They did provide some soap later, but I'd suggest they keep some small sachets of laundry detergent on hand."

"Found a gem for our family trip to Xiamen! The Weishang Garden Hotel's family room is simply divine. It's in a prime location on Zhongshan Road, with a charming Nanyang retro vibe. Stepping out, you're surrounded by street food and shopping districts. It's super close to the ferry terminal and the Bashi market, saving us a lot of travel time. The room is incredibly spacious, bursting with a playful, child-friendly atmosphere. My kids instantly fell in love with the bunk bed with a slide, and the safety rails gave us parents peace of mind. There were dolls, building blocks, and a small tent – enough to keep the little ones entertained for half the day, meaning we didn't have to keep an eye on them constantly. The room also features a private little balcony, and the faint scent of tea in the corridor made us feel instantly relaxed upon entering. The entire room is equipped with smart devices, and the toiletries were clean and high-quality. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, and the floor is covered with soft mats, so we didn't have to worry about the kids bumping themselves while running barefoot. Robot delivery is available 24/7, and the concierge was incredibly responsive to our requests. The bedding was soft, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. It's spacious and comfortable enough for a family of three or even families with two children. Our kids were already asking to come back next time we left. This is definitely our top choice for family accommodation!"

"Thanks to Ella's thoughtful service, my recent business trip stay at Marco Polo Xiamen was absolutely flawless, deserving a full five-star rating! 👍 The hotel is ideally located by the Yundang Lake in the heart of the city, making commutes and errands incredibly convenient. The overall ambiance is elegant and serene, truly reflecting the rich heritage of a long-standing five-star hotel. The lobby is grand and impressive, and the guest rooms are clean and comfortable, creating a wonderful atmosphere. I had most of my meals at the 8th-floor Executive Lounge. The lounge has extensive operating hours, and the breakfast, afternoon tea, and happy hour selections were all abundant with excellent food quality. What truly stood out was the warm, attentive, and friendly service from all the lounge staff – their kindness was truly heartwarming and perfectly balanced. A special thank you to Ella, the Club Floor Manager, for her meticulous and thoughtful service. She was always attentive to guests' needs, providing a consistently comfortable and personalized experience throughout my stay, which significantly eased the fatigue of my business travels. With both excellent facilities and heartfelt service, this hotel will definitely be my top choice for future business trips to Xiamen. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Xiamen for business!"

"I actually booked Niaodao Seaview Chaosu by accident, as my wife has had bad experiences with many seemingly beautiful guesthouses from photos. However, after staying in a suite at Niaodao for three nights, my wife was satisfied, and with her happy, I was naturally at ease 😄. To be fair, the service attitude was top-notch, and the hygiene was excellent. We had unlimited complimentary mineral water daily. The lobby (on the 7th floor) has a dedicated smoking room with good ventilation. Gulangyu Island is right across from us, offering a fantastic first-person view from the window. It was especially charming and unique during the stormy weather we experienced 🤫. If guests are returning from Gulangyu Island after 6 PM, they can take the Xiamen Ferry, which is directly opposite the hotel, just through an underpass. (Note: In the morning, ferries to Gulangyu only depart from Dongdu). Right outside Niaodao's entrance is the start of Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. You absolutely cannot say the location isn't good, can you? The 24th floor of this building houses the tallest Pizza Hut in China 😄. On the first floor, there's a 24-hour supermarket. To the left of the hotel entrance, there's a Commue Western restaurant and bar. If you don't feel like wandering around at night, you can just grab a cocktail here. There's also a Starbucks, and across the street is Heping Wharf, where you can take various Lujiang River cruises and night tours. There's also a travel agency on the first floor where you can inquire about tours to nearby attractions like the Tulou. The double-decker tourist bus stop is also right outside. A taxi to Dongdu Wharf takes 15 minutes. A taxi to the cable car takes 15 minutes. A taxi to the airport takes 30 minutes. Didn't run into Huang Bo, nor the beautiful proprietress. They are cousins."

"【Overall Impression】This hotel has a 'Nanyang' (Southeast Asian) flair with local snacks and drinks. The toiletries are Byredo and include lotion (there's a store on the first basement floor of MixC). I remember them being La Bottega previously? The hotel boasts a gym, outdoor pool, Nanyang-themed craft activities, photo spots, a lobby bar, happy hour, and more – quite a rich selection of amenities. MixC is right next door, perfect for shopping, catching a movie, or letting the kids burn off some energy, making it a great option for a staycation. If your budget allows, I’d generally recommend it. 【Service】The service remains excellent overall. 1. The front desk staff was very kind and upgraded us to a higher floor room with a better view. 2. Whether it was the front desk, lobby bar, lounge, 101 restaurant, gym (24-hour access with room card), or the pool (perfect temperature, though it's outdoors)… everyone we encountered was incredibly observant – they’d press the elevator for you in advance, offer directions, or ask if you needed help if you had a lot of things in your hands. It’s impressive that the entire team maintained this quality during the busy summer period. 3. What surprised me most was that when I booked, the Nanyang craft class was fully booked. I was a bit disappointed, but the staff provided us with the materials so we could do it ourselves in the room, even though we couldn't do it on-site. Their problem-solving attitude and approach really impressed me. 4. They promptly refilled items that ran out at breakfast, which was a vast improvement compared to some previous experiences where things felt a bit stingy. 【Ambiance】1. It's very photogenic and well-designed; you could spend a long time taking photos without even leaving the hotel. So, individuality and unique design are quite important. 2. Once the curtains in the room are drawn, it gets perfectly dark, which is great for sleeping. 【Dining】1. Perhaps due to cost control, the items in the room's minibar have changed (it used to have Basao tea, was that a limited-time offering?). The offerings at the lobby bar and happy hour have also become fewer and simpler, but the quality is still decent… 2. The breakfast at 101 restaurant felt less appealing than before… The Shacha noodle soup base tasted like laksa, and the noodle texture was off. What was clearly mini wontons was called 'bianshi', and the peanut soup only had the raw ingredients but the taste and texture weren't quite right. The mianxian糊 (vermicelli paste) texture was also off, which made me not even want to try the salty rice. And while the oyster omelet and 'manjian gao' (pancakes) tasted okay, they weren't actually what they were supposed to be… (Fortunately, there are alternatives like Shacha noodle shops, snack bars, and street food stalls nearby)… If I hadn't eaten out before, these 'specialty snacks' at breakfast would have been very misleading… 3. To be fair, the Western-style offerings were all good – bread, desserts, etc. 4. There were small bugs in the restaurant; I encountered one right after sitting down, and then another flew into my mini wontons when I went to get them later… 【Other】1. I hope the breakfast specialty snacks can be improved. 2. I wish the dishes and their names would match (some dish names on the labels lagged behind after changes. It felt a bit awkward seeing someone holding 'curry puffs' and telling their child it was 'wuxiang' (five-spice fritters); the chicken popcorn at happy hour was labeled as something else, though it was corrected later). 3. My friend arrived at breakfast first, and I joined later. I was questioned a bit upon entry, and then followed to my friend’s table before they left, which made me feel untrusted… Had someone tried to sneak in for free breakfast before? 4. On Ctrip, a 5 is 'exceeded expectations,' 4.5 is 'satisfied,' and 4 is 'quite satisfied.' I feel that anything 4.25 or above is pretty good… Unfortunately, everyone is so competitive these days, and I understand the difficulties faced by those in the industry. I gave a score I thought was quite good before, only to find out it caused trouble for others… Now, if there are no major issues, I just give a supportive 5 stars…"

"I had a pleasant stay at the Grand Mercure Xiamen Downtown and would consider staying here again on a future visit to Xiamen. The hotel is a little dated, and the rooms show some signs of wear, but everything was clean and well maintained throughout my stay. The rooms are also well insulated, so I didn't notice much noise from outside or neighboring rooms. Housekeeping was reliable, even on days when I left the room later in the afternoon. It was nice to come back to a clean room without having to adjust my schedule. The hotel offers a good selection of complimentary drinks, which was a thoughtful touch. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and interactions were consistently pleasant. Breakfast offered a good variety of local and international options, and the food was fresh and tasty. There was enough choice to keep things interesting over several mornings. The location is convenient, with a Line 1 metro station just a short walk away, making it easy to get around the city. Overall, the hotel may not be the most modern, but it offers a comfortable stay with good service, a convenient location, and good value. I enjoyed my time here and would be happy to stay again."

"This homestay in Xiamen really digs a treasure! The swimming pool is an external circulation system, the water quality is clean, and children like to play very much. Self-service coffee machines and ice machines in public areas are all available, and ice American can be arranged at hand. The clothes that were changed when I went out to go shopping were thrown directly into the washing machine and dried. The staff is also very easy-going, the health is in place, the facilities are complete and intimate, very recommended!"

"This is my second stay here, and it truly is Xiamen's best landmark with the most stunning views. I fall in love with it every time! The room is spacious, and the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer a breathtaking vista. Soaking in the tub while watching the sunset over the sea in the evening creates an incredibly romantic atmosphere. The room cleaning is meticulous, amenities are of superior quality, and the soundproofing is excellent, ensuring a peaceful and restful stay. The staff's service is perfectly balanced – warm, professional, and attentive. A special thanks to our butler, Joni, who was incredibly thoughtful and caring, making us feel truly welcomed. Check-in and check-out processes were smooth. Breakfast is also very rich, a delightful fusion of Chinese and Western dishes, including local Shacha noodles, Southern Fujian snacks, and Jian'ou Guangbing (biscuits). The high-altitude heated swimming pool and executive lounge experience are fantastic. The location is uniquely advantageous, within walking distance to Shapowei Art Zone and very convenient for reaching Huandao Road and Nanputuo Temple. Highly recommended!"

"This was my first stay at the Sheraton Xiamen Hotel. The location is super convenient, right at a major intersection, and close to both the subway and bus stations. The service was excellent, and the room was impeccably clean – not a speck of dust, which made me feel very comfortable. The breakfast was also quite good. Overall, I'm very satisfied."
