🌊 Unbeatable sea view and location
Core highlights! The hotel faces Gulangyu Island directly, with a 180° floor-to-ceiling window with a stunning view. You can see the sea when you open the door, especially the sunset view in the evening is called "breathtakingly beautiful" by guests. Excellent location:
• 5 minutes walk to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street and Bashi Seafood Market, and you can go downstairs to eat satay noodles and seafood stalls;
• 10 minutes walk to the first pier of Gulangyu Island, which is very convenient to catch the boat;
• About 1.5 kilometers away from the subway station (22 minutes walk), and it takes more than ten minutes to drive to Xiamen University, Botanical Garden and other attractions.
🛏️ Room facilities: Smart + details add points, but there are some small complaints
• Smart experience is full: Tmall Genie voice control switches lights and curtains, projector with membership resources, lying on the bed to watch movies is awesome;
• Girl-friendly design: independent dressing table is well received (no need to stand in the toilet to put on makeup!), some room types are equipped with sea view bathtubs, and the photo output rate is very high;
• Sound insulation and hygiene issues: low floors close to the bar (T-ONE CLUB) may be disturbed by music vibrations, it is recommended to choose a high floor; cleaning delays are occasionally encountered in peak season, and details such as unstable toilet cover adaptation are complained.
💁 Service: fast response, but stability needs to be improved
• The front desk WeChat housekeeper responded quickly, and the needs (such as water delivery, disposable items) were basically replied in seconds;
🍽️ Surroundings vs. self-operated catering
• No breakfast is provided, but the seafood in the eight markets downstairs is freshly picked and cooked, and there are many snacks on Zhongshan Road (shacha noodles, peanut soup), a paradise for foodies;
• The hotel has no restaurant, suitable for tourists who like to explore local food, lazy people need to bring their own dry food.
💰 Cost-effectiveness: Sea view room is worth it, non-sea view is slightly more expensive
• Sea view room (600-800 yuan/night) has an unbeatable view and relatively new smart facilities, suitable for couples or girlfriends to check in;
• City view room is similar in price but has no special features, it is better to pay a little more for the sea view; the price increase is obvious during holidays, and it is more cost-effective to book in advance.
📌 Summary in one sentence
Suitable for the lazy party who "lies to watch Gulangyu + eats on Zhongshan Road"-stunning sea view, open location, cool smart experience, but detail control recommends staggered peak hours + choosing a high floor. Please choose carefully if you are purely business or sensitive to noise.
