Xiamen Orange Sea Homestay

Good for a couple of days on a short trip to xiamen, walking distance to zhongshan, shapowei, short taxi ride to pier going to gulangyu, hulishan fortress nanputuo temple m, very good location, helpful staff inspite of language barrier room is ok, served its purpose, no frills hotel but price is very competitive

Highly recommended if you need budgetary hotel, their service are super nice and helpful. Room is clean and have projector to watch movie, but not netflix ya 😂 You can cycle to the nearest MRT station if you are lazy walk. And there is a convenient shop selling snacks, beers and daily use goods in front of the hotel. The lady boss is also very friendly 😊

Generally, the place is decent and the location would not be the best though but still within walking distance to the nearest metro station. The housekeeping was not done professionally thought the room was cleaned up appropriately. As per the picture, I would have expected at least the bed was tidied up properly after housekeeping.

Cleanliness: I believe the room they provide to us has been vacant for a long time so it is quite dirty. Smoke: The while bed and pillow smells terribly like someone smoke in that room before. We did request for non smoking room btw.

Although not in the historic district, the homestay is a short walk to the seaside. Nearby are many dining places as well as shops. The room was clean, but the public area, especially the tables in the lobby where we can eat, were not clean. I had to throw away other peoples' trash. The service was excellent at the front desk. The ladies working the day I arrived were super-friendly, very patient, and full of good humor at my not-very-good-Chinese. We used a translation app to communicate, and they were able to inform me about all my questions. One surprising thing is about the breakfast. I was surprised that the breakfast is just a bag of food delivered to my door, from some other restaurant! It was sufficient and delicious, but I had to clean my own table in order to find a place to eat in the lobby. A better idea might be to eat the breakfast in your room, but I only had a tiny table in my room. Overall, this is a good value with friendly staff.

Nice and comfortable hotel... the hotel venue is at the centre ... walk distance to Zhong Hua Street.
