Grand Mercure Xiamen Downtown 4 Sterne

I was upgraded to a very nice hotel room and through out my stay, all the hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. They would try all means to meet all my needs if possible. Overall, it is a nice and warm stay for me and its location is very convenient to take buses and train around the island.

The reviews about this hotel were quite good so I decided to book a suite here. Besides the fact that they could not find my reservation (full prepaid) and I waste 1 hour of time just for this, the rooms at the end (I saw 3) were all Stinking of cigarettes and dirty carpet. Breakfast is a shame: I found big insects in the coffee area ... and the food options were just disgusting: only one coffee machine that served burned coffee, toast machine broken, a couple of Chinese bread with horrible flavour that I could not eat. The worst experience In my last 10 years in China.Don’t come here.

FOM Zoeke arranged a good and pleasant stay in this well-managed property. He surprised us with an ultra special, super warm welcome together with his GM Tommy and HRM Holiday 小姐。An excellent set up, where utmost care and attention is showered on guests. Well-recommended to all looking for a mid-range Accor property in Downtown Xiamen.

The staff at the front desk and restaurants do not speak English. It is not a problem to check-in and check-out if you present your passport to the staff. The problems start in case that you need anything more. On the 17th floor there is a place where, theoretically you can get some refresments for which you get coupon when checking-in. One day nobody was there. The other day the waiter appeared and on the simple question he showed us his mobile display wher you can read: "I don't speak English". In thic hotel you feel a bit unsafe becase in case of emergency nobody would understand that need some help. All in all, good hotel but absolutely necessary is to employ staff speaking English.

Well located in downtown Xiamen. Exquisite Duplex suite was a nice big room and very comfortable. Breakfast was okay. The biggest issue we faced was that very few of the staff spoke English which made the stay very difficult to get information and other things to meet our needs. Would have expected that a hotel of this level in the hospitality industry and catering to people from around the world would have had more multi lingual available to help guests. At checkout we were told that we needed to go to Terminal 4 to catch our flight with China Southern. This information was wrong and we had to catch another taxi to Terminal 3. Overall a reasonably good hotel with the room and location however the communication issue made for a very average stay.
