Stayed here last week on business. Very chic and modern hotel with good service. Great location to walk over to the Marco Polo area for good western-style restaurants. Tips: -If you want bottled water at breakfast, bring one of the free bottles in your room. They charge 40RMB for a bottle of Evian in the restaurant. -For cheap internet (if... more

Stayed here for my first business trip to the city, and used our corporate rate. The hotel is very new and nicely fitted with modern decor. The staff was very helpful. The breakfast buffet had plenty of choices. I would highly recommend a stay here. more

Spent two nights at the Sofitel on business. This is a modern, high-rise hotel in the downtown area of Xiamen. The hotel is built and operated to a high standard. The entrance lobby is imposing, mostly marble and glass, with modern furniture. The bedroom was very comfortable, with high quality darkwood fittings and a well-equipped office area.

This hotel is definitely created with "Western" travelers in mind. Room was nicely decorated, and I love how they divided the bathroom and bedroom with wall of glass + curtains. Decor... more

For my second trip to Xiamen I chose to stay at the Sofitel Hotel. The overall look of the hotel is really nice. I dont remember if I had a standard room or one step up from standard but I enjoyed my room. There was an earlier post about the bathroom and yes there is a beaded curtain or something... more

The bathroom was almost beside the bed -- and only a translucent curtain separated the... more
