One of the ‘venerable statesman’ hotels of Xiamen

Impressive hotel inside, with vast open internal space up to the 7th floor ceiling, and the rooms all built around that. However this can mean that if you get a room on the opposite side of the internal ‘courtyard’ to the lifts, it can be a bit annoying walking around the edge of this vast open space to get to your room! I guess the hotel was built 20-30 years ago when land wasn’t such a premium in Xiamen, as it is literally wasted space.

Amazing Japanese restaurant on 1st floor with brilliant teppanyaki menus. The breakfast buffet is pretty extensive and you will find plenty there to enjoy.

Rooms are very nice, although feel slightly dated compared to a brand new hotel in China.

It’s about 20-40 mins by taxi to airport, depending on traffic and time of day.

Book the premier room. It's so much better and bigger than the deluxe or superior room. The view is amazing. The room is big, clean and quiet. The staff is courteous. Our special thanks go to Crystal Zhao at the front desk. When we checked in, we forgot to bring the old passports which have the visa page. Without it, it could be a problem for us to check in. Crystal has gone above and beyond to reach out to the officer at the police station to get a waiver. As a result, our trip began with a beautiful start and we didn't need to waste half a day at the police station. Much appreciated and will definitely stay here again!

Location is a bit far. We booked a room and formally requested one extra bed. The request went through. When we arrived the manager suggested us an upgrade, saying that there's not enough space for the extra bed for the room I booked. The staff brought us to visit an executive room and told us we had to add RMB380 per night for the upgrade. We agreed with the deal. But when we got down to the lobby the staff revoked, and said we had to add RMB680 instead. So we decided to stay in the original room. And there's enough space for the extra bed.

Very nice hotel but...

Really nice hotel aesthetically; it's very clean and comfortable, the breakfast is well done, has a nice medium sized fitness area and the lobby area is beautiful.

The downsides are that the walls are very thin - we actually heard someone's phone vibrating in the next room one morning when we were in bed, and there was a constant sound of water from other bathrooms. The front desk staff was okay but didn't really make us feel welcome and when we asked for something a little out of the ordinary (whether we could prepay a taxi through the hotel because we were going to the airport to leave China and didn't want to take out more cash if we could avoid it), the guy laughed at us as though we were crazy for thinking that might be an option...? He wasn't the nicest guy to begin with but that was a bit much.

Anyway, overall, it was good and we didn't have any big issues, just the thin walls and weird checkout experience.

Comfortable hotel in a pleasant neighborhood

Marco Polo Xiamen is not the newest hotel, however we left with a very positive impression as it is well maintained and managed.
My only complaint is that we could hear everything from the neighboring room through the adjoining door. Luckily our neighbors weren't too noisy, but it was as if we could even hear them breathing.
Other than that, the breakfast buffet was great with a nice variety of western & Asian choices as well as fresh squeezed juices.
The neighbourhood was really lovely with a good selection of restaurants and shops that seem popular among locals/expats. It is also a short walk from the ferry terminal to Gulangyu and not too far from most tourist sites. I would definitely recommend this hotel for other visitors to Xiamen.

quiet atmosphere, cleanliness, great services

I travelled to Xiamen twice a year on business. I stayed at this hotel twelve years ago and I remember that there was nothing spectacular about this hotel at that time other than its \"age\".
After recent stay at this hotel changed my view of this hotel, after the renovation, it is by far one of the best hotels I ever stayed in Xiamen.
The hotel is nice and clean, the services is superb. The variety of foods at the Club lounge is plenty yet tasty.
Cleanliness and quiet atmosphere are what I like the most.

Clean rooms, but staff need to be more attentive

The rooms are clean enough with all necessities included as of my expectation. We enjoyed having breakfast in their dining area since it provides a better selection - with some famous food in Xiamen - than other hotels I have booked in China. The hotel is located next to the lakes in Xiamen island, and there are some nice coffee shops and bars around the area.

However, the service provided is really disappointing. The staff really need to pay more attention in my booking of two rooms - one smoking and one non-smoking - there is no point of asking me repeatedly if I mind two non-smoking rooms when it is already mentioned in my request.

I am also shocked with how the hotel is managed. When I arrived at 11pm, the staff asked if in the morning I have checked in already, and I answered no, but the other staff asked me again with a skeptical look. Meanwhile I noticed them photocopying the identity page of every single person staying in their hotel. After a whole day of commuting we just want to rest as for the following day we need to catch a train in the morning, but we are somehow held there with the staff phoning their colleague if they have checked in for the wrong person.

Overall, the facilities are completely fine, but the service definitely needs some improvement.

My home in Xiamen

I have stayed at the Marco Polo Xiamen probably 20 times over the past ten years and enjoy it every time. This time I had a few spare hours and walked the neighborhood and along the waterway. It's a great lively neighborhood with fine coffee shops and unique restaurants and the waterway is truly lovely and peaceful. The only issue I had a few times is that English at the front desk was not as good as it should have been for a top international hotel. The breakfast buffet is excellent as well.
