Ξενοδοχεία με 5-Star σε Fujian, China

"【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…"

"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 environment is beautiful, with picturesque scenery at every turn. The location is also convenient; after watching the Da Hong Pao show, you can take a leisurely stroll back. The service is very attentive, with mineral water replenished daily and needs inquired about, especially the shuttle service, which is available 24/7 and almost on-call. The dishes at the hotel's Chinese restaurant are also the best we've had after trying several nearby places. We will definitely choose Chunbo again for our next trip to Wuyishan."

"The Shangri-La Fuzhou truly lives up to its reputation as a landmark five-star hotel in Rongcheng. Its location is superb, right next to Wuyi Square and within walking distance of Sanfang Qixiang. The rooms are spacious and elegant, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic city views, and the bedding is wonderfully comfortable. The service was impeccable: Amity thoughtfully arranged welcome fruits, Jade kindly prepared a sweet nightcap, and Edwin facilitated a quick check-out. An absolutely flawless experience, making it a top choice for both business and leisure stays."

"Our overall stay had both pleasant surprises and some disappointments, not quite meeting our expectations for a 5-star hotel. The family twin room we booked wasn't originally designed as such; it was a king room with an additional small bed. This extra bed made the room feel quite cramped, and the mattress on the small bed was firm, which negatively impacted sleep quality. The room lighting was generally dim, and the lighting design felt outdated. Many areas had insufficient light, making it inconvenient when organizing luggage or looking for items. Regarding the paid breakfast, the staff service was quite attentive, and the food tasted decent, slightly better than what you'd find at an All Seasons hotel. However, for the price point, the variety of dishes was limited, so the value for money wasn't great. There was also a minor oversight where soy sauce and vinegar were mixed up, indicating that attention to detail in management could be improved. The complimentary bottled water provided was Ice Dew, which is commonly found in mid-range hotels, lacking the premium feel expected from a 5-star establishment. Objectively, the hotel's location is good, the staff are friendly, and the hygiene is acceptable. However, the modified room type, lighting, and breakfast significantly lowered the overall experience. Paying 5-star prices, the actual experience fell short. For those planning to book a family twin room, I recommend confirming if it's an original twin room layout before booking, to avoid the modified add-bed rooms. Breakfast can be considered based on your preferences, but the value is average. Overall, it's not uninhabitable, but I hope the hotel can optimize these details to truly live up to its 5-star positioning, which would encourage future stays."

"The hotel is located right next to Sanfang Qixiang, making it super convenient for shopping and getting around. Our room was clean and tidy, with all the necessary amenities. The courtyard has a unique charm. The butler service was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. For breakfast, one day it was delivered to our room on a cart, and the other day we went to the vegetarian restaurant on B1 downstairs. Overall, it was a really great stay. It's a different experience than staying in a business hotel, and I highly recommend it for families looking for a more relaxed and cozy atmosphere."

"As a Xiamen local, Xiamen Airlines has always been my top choice for travel since childhood. I heard this hotel was a joint venture between Xiamen Airlines and Accor, and I've been wanting to stay since it opened. Every day, I drive past the new Xiamen Airlines headquarters and see the little Egret logo, and the exterior always looks so inviting. 🤍 Room Type: The service attitude was excellent, with smiling staff from the front desk to housekeeping to the restaurant. A special thank you to Minnie, the Front Office Director, for her attention. I originally booked the most basic room, but the hotel kindly upgraded me to a high-floor bay view room for free, where I could see the Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge in the distance. The package I booked included a mascot, Mengmeng, which is super cute and cuddly with a nice texture and a detachable hat. I even slept with it that night~ (I looked it up, and it costs 98 RMB…) 🩵 Room: The bedside speaker was a Tivoli Audio, the hairdryer looked like a Cetis, and the toiletries were Le Labo (I heard a store is opening at MixC soon). Now for the highlight!!! This is by far the most comfortable pillow I've ever encountered in a hotel! Period! (For the other three luxury brands in the city, I've brought my own pillow on my second stay). I'm pregnant and need a super soft pillow to support my back and belly when sleeping on my side. The head pillow was slightly firmer in comparison but still contoured perfectly to my neck and traps. In short, I slept soundly all night!!! And my stomach felt fine!!! 💜 Breakfast: The breakfast was a bit disappointing. To be honest, the variety wasn't much. What I photographed is what I ate, just these three items. The restaurant is circular with each side being a different area. Since I don't like desserts, I might have missed what everyone says are the best desserts. However, compared to the Waldorf Astoria and Andaz, the breakfast selection really isn't extensive. I'm not sure if the plates were too cold or if they didn't use plate warmers, plus with the air conditioning, the mushrooms, which were originally delicious, were already cold by the time I got them from the buffet to my seat... Blah blah blah, anyway, for the pillows and the service, I'd go back a second time~~"

"Facilities: The hotel's concierge desk is on the ground floor, while the lobby is on the 47th floor. To get to your room, you first take an elevator from the ground floor to the 47th floor, then use your key card to transfer to another elevator that goes to the rooms. The toilet in the room was quite old-fashioned but thankfully clean! The curtains are electric, and the TV is pretty big, though I didn't try to cast anything to it. The sofa area is well-designed with a large round table and a sofa that has power outlets nearby, making it convenient for charging phones and laptops while relaxing. The bedside tables are also spacious, great for placing items. The air conditioning was powerful and effective. The mini-bar fridge was empty, and only two bottles of mineral water were provided. The washbasin was small. They only provided two toothbrushes, a comb, and some cotton swabs. No razor, which is fine, but not even a shower cap – I wonder if it was just overlooked! Service: When I first arrived, it was a bit frustrating; there was no service at all, and I had to ask about everything myself! At the front desk for check-in, the staff said my name wasn't on any order. They asked to see my Ctrip order on my phone, which was a first for me! I didn't encounter a single staff member who greeted me; they just acted like guests were invisible! I even bumped into a young staff member outside my room who just glanced at me twice and acted like she didn't see me. This is supposed to be a five-star hotel, but their service training in this regard is clearly lacking, especially for young employees who should have this basic awareness! Later that evening, when I went to the concierge to pick up a delivery, Xiao Jie was very helpful. He assisted me with my packages, gave me a tote bag for my items, and even offered to dispose of my trash. Environment: Getting food delivered is easy, pretty much anything is available, and there are also restaurants downstairs, which is convenient! Deliveries are brought by robots, but you have to call the concierge separately to request the robot delivery, likely for security reasons. The critical part was that my delivery arrived at 7:27 PM, and after two follow-up calls, it finally reached my room at 7:50 PM – unbelievable! Parking: I pre-arranged and reserved a ground-level parking spot. It was very crowded, so if you have a large car, it will test your driving skills!"

"【Brief Review】It’s expensive for a reason. 【Environment】1. Room style preferences are subjective. The view outside the window wasn't as bad as I'd imagined – the downstairs pool, park, villas, and the 'Li He' on the roof, plus the distant twinkling lights of the city like a river of stars, and the layered sky. Lying in bed watching the clouds drift by was incredibly relaxing. 2. The room amenities are Aesop (also in the hotel's public restrooms and pool showers). There's a pillow menu with various options, sleep masks are provided, and bath tub liners are available if you want a soak. The minibar is quite well-stocked. Unique touches include the postcards in the Hermes orange folder and the inside of the umbrella. The TV volume in the room was extremely low. Also, for some reason, the computer connected to Wi-Fi but couldn't access the internet; the login page didn't pop up (though it was fine on my phone). Additionally, the doors to the bathroom and toilet were a bit transparent, even though we were staying with someone familiar… 3. The various restaurants in the hotel's public areas each have their own character, and every section feels thoughtfully designed. Even the intricate details of the pool corridor, adorned with light and shadow, felt beautiful. It felt like exploring the hotel was like visiting an exhibition. If the weather is bad or it’s too sunny, strolling around the hotel is a great alternative to going out. 【Service】Nico and Alisa's proactive communication and timely responses were excellent. The welcome staff and front desk during check-in made us feel very comfortable. All the staff we encountered in different areas during our stay were great. The overall service definitely matches the hardware, and the souvenir at check-out was also very exquisite, making you feel like, 'Yes, this is truly Waldorf Astoria.' However, there might be some new staff who seemed a bit nervous. Finally, I'd like to thank them for the upgrade; the view was even better. Some small details could still be improved. 【Dining】(1) The Chinese restaurant is still the best. (2) The buffet breakfast and the Chinese restaurant share the same space. The variety was decent, and the individual items were alright. Although it's a buffet, there aren't many à la carte options. It was rare to find shrimp dumplings and phoenix claws. The signature satay noodles finally had a decent taste (the broth was a bit too rich; you can add some clear soup if you don't like it too thick, but at least it's closer to local taste than Andaz or Voco). Local specialties like beef soup, fish balls, and vermicelli paste were also available, but local snack options were still a bit limited. They also offered sparkling wine, which is a nice touch for those who like an early morning drink. Western options like croissants, baguettes, and Danish pastries were also available (though a companion felt the food stations were too scattered, similar to Voco, but I feel this arrangement allows for more diverse uses, for example, transforming into the Chinese restaurant after breakfast). By the way, the extended breakfast hours until 11:00 on weekends are fantastic! (3) I loved the eel fry for the second round of drinks. Other options felt pretty standard; it was mainly about enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of chatting with friends while listening to the live band (ordering songs from the band costs 200/song, which felt a bit pricey). 【Facilities】1. The pool is excellent (not a professional lap pool, but more for leisure), and there's a sauna. 2. The gym facilities are also comprehensive, but children under 16 are not allowed."
