Fengwei Lanxi Sea View Hotel

Gorgeous river-view room with sleek modern decor. The plush bed and panoramic windows are amazing. It was clean, soft ambient lighting, super relaxing stay—definitely worth booking again.The stuff is good

First-timers in Xiamen after taking the high speed rail from West Kowloon, the hotel was a short ride away, which was convenient. Please note: the hotel is right next to Mercure in Building B on the 20th floor. We were thrilled it was walking distance to the 8th Street as well as the main pedestrian street. We enjoyed eating in very local restaurants which were also walking distance away. There’s also a luckin coffee next door at a main bus station area. The ferry is across the road. When you take the ferry back from the island, you are right across the road to the hotel. The staff members were very helpful and went out of their way to help us. For example, our food was delivered to Building A and they actively helped us to pick it up and then messaged us the correct address to use. This is a very rare service and we never expected them to help us like that. We liked the room a lot, it had everything you needed in an eco-friendly manner. The views from the lounge area were amazing. We would definitely return to the hotel next time we are in Xiamen. ☀️

The hotel frontdesk assistants are all very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They are always willing to attend to our queries at anytime. Had a great time checking out of hotel with their help of bringing down our luggages & sending us off without us asking for it too! Thank you team of Lanxi hotel !

The male receptionist is super friendly and helpful. He reminded us on all the possible traps to be avoided while traveling in xiamen. Throughout our 3 nights stays, he provided lots of guidance to us on how to place booking for boat ticket and entry tickets for tourists attraction. He is helpful in arranging house keeping and replenish the supplies in our room. The room sizeable with nice seaview. Just take note that the hotel only occupying certain floors in a building without clear signboard outside the building, took us some time to ask around and find the hotel location

I was looking forward to this hotel after seeing the pictures and reviews on trip.com, but it left a lot to be desired. -They don’t provide large towels by default. I assumed they forgot my towels, then when I asked they brought me a set but showed me the disposable ones that were sitting in the room. I couldn’t believe they offer the tiniest, thinnest packets and think that’s an acceptable replacement for normal towels. At this price point, that shouldn’t be a reality anywhere in the world— after countless dozens of hotels I’ve stayed at in China that’s the first time I’ve witnessed such a thing. -They leave the toilet scrubber in the bathroom too, which I also never saw after countless hotels in China; clearly that’s an antiquated practice and doesn’t inspire confidence in the cleanliness of a room. Cleaning tools like that shouldn’t be stored in the guest rooms. -The city view was okay but the window was filthy -The room is no-smoking but they leave an ash tray My booked room says the 20th floor— when I arrived, I lugged my heavy bags to the 20th floor, but they immediately redirected me; we went back down, exited the building to another one nearby, then they checked me into an old room on a 10th floor. I didn’t understand why they did this (that room reeked of smoke too), then we packed everything up and went right back to the original building, to the 20th floor like I booked. Clearly that could have been avoided if they communicated to me the reason for the switch (they said afterwards they were upgrading me to a bigger room? But it was nearly the same size and the 10th floor one was just older, smellier and clearly a downgrade. Odd decision on their part). I’m not sure if this hotel does the delivery robot like most others, I doubt it. Luckily I came to town a day early, so the extra day I booked allowed me to see the condition of the hotel and I was able to cancel the rest of the stay I had booked— but for a fee of over 500rmb. The vast majority of Chinese hotels on this site offer free cancellations but this one was costly. I switched immediately to a brand hotel to be safe— there are countless other options in Xiamen at similar prices, I’d have to recommend looking elsewhere.

This place deserves a 10/5 based on service alone - absolutely friendly front desk who often went the extra mile. To ensure I could book the ferry tickets to Gulangyu, they offered different local Hp numbers for me to try which is needed when booking tickets via Alipay. When my delivery didn't arrive in time, they helped to call and chase. No complaints, just very friendly help. They didn't hardsell anything either. The rooms are big, comfortable, decently soundproofed for the price, and they accommodated our request for regular instead of disposable towels. Location is not at the doorstep of a metro, but we took didi mostly. The hotel is located on the 20th Floor of the same building as Mercure hotel and shares the same pick up point. Overall, a wonderful stay, would return!

Very nice hotel on the 20th floor. The view was amazing from the window . The front was extra helpful with any queries I had. I would stay here again next time.

the scenery was gorgeous at night and in the morning,, definitely would recommend! front desk receptionist was also really helpful to us ! i bought taobao and both receptionist was very kind enough to help me find my parcel and the lady even helped me with the pick lockers because i was not a local so i did not know where it was. there are loads of food around the hotel as it was a 2-3 minutes walk away from zhongshan lu!! overall the stay in the hotel is very clean, and there was room service everyday so don’t need to worry if you make a mess. everything is provided as well and receptionist is also very kind enough to let us know about the scams that we have to be wary about! very informative and friendly personalities !! definitely recommend this hotel to those who are looking for a good hotel for an affordable price !

The employees are very nice. The location & view are great. BUT The towels are disposable towel that dont dry anything and there is only 2 ! The hotel is very noisy with kids running and screaming in the alley after 8am
