Minnan Hotel Xiamen

“Staff was very accommodating!”

First night in the hotel was so-so... Bed was hard (for a foreigner guest) and temperature of the air-conditioning was warm eventhough we set it on high.

First night in the hotel was so-so... Bed was hard (for a foreigner guest) and temperature of the air-conditioning was warm eventhough we set it on high. Last night of our stay, the water in our faucet was yellowish so we got scared, almost wanted to pack up and leave right away, but after a few seconds it turned clear again. They should fix that. I'm pretty sure it's not a 4 star hotel because of the old ceiling that needed repainting and the furnitures were also old. On the other hand, the staff were very very helpful. If we call for service and they couldn't understand what we need, they would always let someone go up to our room to see what we really need. They try their best to speak English as well. They provided us electric fans and problem solved. Breakfast was good but not the best. They serve both chinese and western breakfast so it was actually guest friendly. All in all, I can say we had a good experience and the hotel staff in Minnan Hotel made a good impression during our stay. Will definitely recommend, just needs a little improvement.

“Good location but faded glory”

Whilst the location is great, the hotel has seen better days. When we were there, the restaurant on the top floor was not open, and the pool, whilst functional, is not a place to relax. Breakfast is in a restaurant in a mall next door, and has a good choice of food, but is soulless. Rooms are ... more

Whilst the location is great, the hotel has seen better days. When we were there, the restaurant on the top floor was not open, and the pool, whilst functional, is not a place to relax. Breakfast is in a restaurant in a mall next door, and has a good choice of food, but is soulless. Rooms are big, but choose one on a high floor is you want a view. It's OK for an overnight stay but not for a longer trip.

“Friendly staff good location poor quality”

For business purpose stay ok in sense of price and location. However the hotel is really tired and need serious refurbishment. Room carpet is dirty and torn. Breakfast quality is also not up to international standard.

“Budget Friendly Hotel in this beautiful city!”

The hotel itself is very well known in the city and was a convenient location to catch a taxi or a bus from. At night the neighborhood behind the hotel comes alive with little food shops and locals having their evening meal. The hotel is rated 4 stars, but by my experience should be rated between 2-3 stars. The staff speaks limited English, but makes efforts to assist in anyway possible. They were accommodating when our flight was canceled and we needed to stay an extra day. Our discounted room rate (from booking.com) was honored. The hotel also assisted with obtaining taxis. Their is a revolving restaurant at the top of the hotel that offers beautiful views of the city day and night, though he food is unspectacular. The decor is a bit outdated, but clean! The biggest problem would be the need for new carpeting in the common areas and the rooms. The carpet is laid unevenly which is a tripping hazard and is visibly stained throughout. The lower level room offer a view of the inside wall. The bed is very hard,but Chinese standard. Our air conditioning was inconsistent in 1 of our 3 rooms, but the staff worked to solve the problem each time. Our biggest issue was that the entire building including the non-smoking areas/rooms reeked of cigarette smoke. Would stay again, but only when having to be budget minded.

“Decent hotel for a short stay”

Stayed in this hotel for a total of 4 nights. Nothing spectacular about it. Felt more like a 3 star rather than a 4 star hotel. Hotel was huge with plenty of rooms. However rooms were only located on the 4th floor and somewhere between 17th to 18th onwards. In between were probably offices. R... more

Stayed in this hotel for a total of 4 nights. Nothing spectacular about it. Felt more like a 3 star rather than a 4 star hotel. Hotel was huge with plenty of rooms. However rooms were only located on the 4th floor and somewhere between 17th to 18th onwards. In between were probably offices. Rooms were clean but had this old feeling about it. Air-conditioning was a big issue in the hotel as the rooms were very warm during the night and we required fans to be installed in our rooms throughout our stay. Breakfast became repetitive on the 3rd morning as nothing was new. One aspect worthy of praise from this hotel is their service standards. The staff at the front desk, concierge and housekeeping were all attentive and always ready to assist hotel guests. Good job on that!
