I stayed at the Lujiang Hotel a few years ago, and now, after its renovation, the experience is even better. The front desk upgraded my room, which had a balcony offering direct sea views and a distant glimpse of Gulangyu Island – absolutely breathtaking scenery.
The room's decor is classically elegant with a charming Nanyang (Southeast Asian) flair. The soundproofing was excellent, and the bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The bathroom, in particular, was spacious and bright, with dual showerheads, which is super convenient for families traveling with children or the elderly.
The breakfast was varied and plentiful, and I especially loved some of the specialty dishes, like the seaweed cake, eel baked rice, and satay noodles – all delicious. I even had two servings of the eel baked rice; it was unforgettable. The outdoor breakfast area is on the terrace, providing a lovely sea view.
The service was warm and attentive. Staff members I encountered in the hallways always greeted me. During the day, they brought fruit and tea, and in the evening, they delivered sweet soup, which was a very thoughtful touch.
There were several packs of specialty tea in the minibar caddy. I had intended to take them with me but forgot, which is quite a pity. They seemed to be local Fujian teas; I'll save that for my next visit.
All in all, the Lujiang Hotel gets a big thumbs up from me, and I'll definitely be back.
