Hotels With Bar in Fujian, China

Booked this hotel for a business trip. The front desk staff were friendly and incredibly diligent. They offered turn-down service, and the breakfast in the morning had a great variety and was very plentiful. It's only one bus stop away from the airport and easy to find.

The hotel is right on Zhongshan Road, but this section of the road feels a bit less crowded. A bonus is its proximity to Zhenhai Road Station (Exit 3B) on Metro Line 1. The main entrance is small, with only a shared elevator lobby, and the front desk is on the second floor. Rooms advertised as 'garden view' likely just face an inner courtyard shared by a few dark rooms. Luckily, the front desk upgraded me to a street-facing room. Those with high standards for air quality should take note when choosing a room. It offers great value for money and spacious rooms, though the furniture feels a bit sparse. However, for this price and service, that's easily overlooked. Although it's close to the ferry terminal, only about a ten-minute walk, tourists can only use it after 6 PM until early morning the next day; normally, it's reserved for local residents. The room looks very much like the pictures provided by the hotel, so I've included a few photos of nearby attractions instead.

Very good hotel, close to biggest industry which is just a short walk opposite. Area is now much better than before ...food just downstairs ..kfc and Chinese restaurant in shoplots on ground floor.

Every year when I come to Xiamen, I stay at the Swiss Grand for a few days, and this is my fourth time. What attracts me most to the Swiss Grand is its excellent location and rooms directly facing Gulangyu Island. I have to say, the Swiss Grand meets all my needs for a trip to Xiamen. First, let's talk about the location. It's situated in the heart of Siming District, right next to Zhongshan Road. You can walk to Bashi Market, the Botanical Garden, and Xiamen Ferry Terminal. Taking a taxi to Nanputuo Temple, Shapowei, the Twin Towers, and Xiamen University is always just the starting fare. The Exit to the hotel is also the starting station of Metro Line 1, which goes directly to Gaoqi Airport. Then there's the room facing Gulangyu Island – it's absolutely unbeatable! It completely matches my aesthetic. Whenever I sit by the floor-to-ceiling window in my room, enjoying the beautiful Gulangyu Island opposite, with a cup of black tea, I feel utterly content. What's even more impressive is that the room is very spacious, well-equipped, and the quality is consistently high. It offers excellent value for money! The breakfast is very rich, with a wide variety of Western and Chinese options, plus local specialties – you name it, they have it, and it all tastes great. The service is excellent; the greeters at the entrance are very attentive. The front desk was a bit ordinary, but customer service responded promptly and was always helpful. The only slight drawback was the slow check-in process. This might be due to the hotel being fully booked during the Chinese New Year holiday, but it also reflects that the hotel doesn't have good solutions for handling such surges in guests. We waited over an hour to check in, and at that time, one guest had waited three hours and still hadn't gotten into their room, and ended up arguing with the front desk... This had a very negative impact on the hotel's image. I hope they can further improve their management during holidays!

Traveling with a child, I opted for a newer hotel, and it was quite clean. I booked two rooms, and both were upgraded – getting an upgrade for an extended stay is a real plus, especially since the hotel proactively offered it. The rooms are spacious with a very practical design. There's a robot that delivers packages quickly, so no waiting around. Since I didn't book breakfast, I can't comment on the dining, but I might try it next time. All the staff were excellent. They spoke in a very calm and unhurried manner, which was nice, haha. There was a female staff member named Xiaomi, and a tall male staff member whose name I don't recall, who was usually at the front desk – both were very patient and good.

This hotel, located on Zhongshan Road, offers a 4-star experience with all the essential amenities. They have a self-service laundry room, a gym, and even a stunning sky garden which is great for photos. A sky garden on Zhongshan Road feels quite luxurious! The rooms are clean and tidy, and the housekeeping staff are incredibly diligent and responsible, ensuring everything is spotless and well-maintained every day. It's always refreshing to come back to a pristine room. The front desk service is excellent, with all the staff being very polite and always greeting guests warmly.

Highly recommend this hotel! 1. The best thing is its location: inside the ancient city, the North Gate leads to the food street and is next to Taigu Bridge; the South Gate connects to Taiwan Road, making it super convenient to reach all the scenic spots and food areas in the ancient city within minutes! You can slowly experience the ancient city by day and night: mornings are peaceful but full of local life, where you can chat with residents and enjoy local breakfast in nearby streets to start a vibrant day; at noon, it's too hot, so head back for a nap and scroll through your phone; at 4 PM, head out to find food or a spot for coffee and just relax; evenings are all about the hustle and bustle! 2. Hotel environment: It has a courtyard design, with flowers and plants everywhere, making it a quiet oasis in the middle of all the action. It offers the warmth of a B&B with the management of a hotel! 3. Room: We chose the 3rd-floor LOFT, which gave the kids their own space. It would have been even more perfect if the view from the balcony was a bit better! The public area on the 2nd floor is also great, you could sit there all afternoon with a coffee or tea. 4. The ancient city offers a variety of snacks, so you can spend a whole day just walking, stopping, eating, and exploring 😁 Everyone can cross中山公园 (Zhongshan Park) to 青年路 (Qingnian Road) for more food! I recommend 锦群饭店 (Jinqun Restaurant); for a Cantonese foodie like me, it's right up my alley – large portions with that 'wok hei' flavor! It has that street-side stall vibe! We ate there two days in a row. Although the rating isn't high, I've included photos, so you can judge for yourselves.

To the Management and Team, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional hospitality I experienced during my stay at your hotel. From January 9th to 10th, I was warmly accommodated in Room 315 of the Lingbo Building, and I was truly impressed by the outstanding service provided by your staff. In particular, I wish to commend your front desk team for their professionalism, kindness, and efficiency. Their attentive and courteous approach made me feel genuinely welcomed and well cared for throughout my stay. I would also like to give special thanks to Mr. Zheng Ziheng from your Marketing Department. His genuine warmth, thoughtful assistance, and attentive hospitality went above and beyond my expectations. In him, I see the future of tourism in China—a future built on passionate, dedicated, and truly guest-centered professionals who not only meet but exceed the expectations of those they serve. It is clear that your hotel cultivates a culture of excellence, and I look forward to the opportunity to stay with you again. I am confident that with such a committed team, your establishment will continue to earn the trust and admiration of guests from near and far.

We made a last-minute decision to travel, and since it was a family trip with kids and seniors, we needed two rooms near Sanfang Qixiang. This was the only place that met all our criteria, so I reluctantly booked it despite the high price. The car was parked in a public parking lot for 50 RMB/day. We found the entrance to 'Wenrufang,' turned right after passing it, and saw the stone lions, which marked the hotel. **Ambiance:** The reception area of this hotel is housed in the original old building. The beams have been reinforced, but you can still glimpse the ancient wood. The 'four waters returning to the hall' (sishui guitang) garden design is quite captivating and worth savoring. **Accommodation:** The lodging section is in a newly built single-story addition. We were on the second floor. There were many rooms, but they were quite small. The cleanliness was acceptable, but the shower water was inconsistent – hot then cold. Bathing my child in the freezing water made me want to curse, especially considering the 2K RMB per night price tag. **Hygiene:** My family is very particular about hygiene, which was one reason we chose this place. It's newly opened, with no strange odors, and the location is good. Upon entering the room, I checked for dust on the tables and examined the sheets – everything was clean, so I didn't even use disposable sheets. I'd like to commend the cleaning lady here; she was tall, sturdy, proactive, enthusiastic, and efficient! **Service:** The hotel has been open for less than six months and is not yet on Dianping. In the afternoon, someone contacted us to ask about our arrival time, which I said would be after midnight. Later, when I couldn't find the hotel, I called the front desk again. They added me on WeChat and sent me the location, which finally helped me find it. Perhaps it's because I've experienced hotels in other cities offering tangyuan (sweet dumplings) upon arrival on Chinese New Year's Day, creating a warm feeling for guests. However, when we arrived at this hotel, the front desk staff was rather wooden. We weren't given toiletries for the children, and the extra blanket we requested wasn't ready. (I had to ask for this blanket five times before they finally provided one, initially claiming they only had one, then magically producing another). No one helped us with our luggage even though we arrived just after midnight; the front desk staff simply stood there. When I asked about the possibility of a late checkout, they asked me to leave a good review in exchange, which I found a bit ridiculous. I paid 7K RMB for two nights; I shouldn't need to exchange conditions for a late checkout. **Breakfast:** Breakfast is served to the right of the accommodation building (it seems to be outsourced). It's a breakfast market in the morning and a coffee shop during the day. A young man wearing a mask handled both the breakfast clean-up and luggage handling during the day. On Chinese New Year's Day, when we went for breakfast, there wasn't much left. On the second day, we went early and got to try the Laohua soup, fish ball, and rouyan soup that we missed the day before. Overall, the variety was good, allowing for a pleasant breakfast experience. We stayed on the 17th and 18th, and the price was outrageously expensive, but it was our own fault for deciding last minute. However, the hotel is very close to Aiqing Tree (Love Tree); just turn right out of the alley.

Returning after sixteen years, I arrived at 1 AM to find only one young lady at the front desk. The main door was a bit stiff, but she quickly came over to help me with my luggage and open it. The room layout and amenities were fine, but a special note for those traveling with seniors: the bed is a bit elevated for the view. Although there are warning lights, I still stumbled on the first night. The view and breakfast have always been the hotel's strong points. From the room, you can see both Zhongshan Road and Gulangyu Island. It can be noisy from the street, but thankfully, closing the door provides excellent sound insulation. The housekeeping lady was incredibly enthusiastic. As a long-time employee of sixteen years, she clearly has a lot of affection for the hotel. She even thoughtfully opened the drying rack when she saw me hanging clothes. She deserves a five-star review! The breakfast offering shark fin is rare, and the 'Mianxian Hu' (vermicelli paste) was absolutely superb! The Eggs Benedict was also the best I've ever had! Zhongshan Road is right outside the door.
