Swiss Grand Xiamen
The hotel is located very closed to major tourist attraction and has great view of the Gulangyu island. The room is clean and spacious. We tried the lunch buffet which is fantastic, it is a bit pricey 278RMB but we got 50% off coupon as a guest so it is worth it.

Hilton Xiamen
At the check-in staff did not seem so kind. When you are traveling far from home, alone and tired after a long trip, a welcome smile matters. Overall, it is a very good hotel, also well located.

Conrad Xiamen
This is one of the most beautiful hotels we have stayed in. The lobby and restaurant area is hugged by the water with islands scattered and shrouded in fogs. Room is spacious and exquisitely decorated. Breakfast contains copious western and Chinese selections.

Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen
Room was clean. Staff was courteous and always ready to help. Gym is also surprisingly well equipped. The free self-service laundry room was also very helpful if you are going for a long stay (i stayed with my wife and kid for 7 days). The breakfast can be too repetitive though.
