Allston Hotel (Xiamen Railway Station MixC Mall)

Stay here for one day as planned to depart to Quanzhou the next day. The location is excellent, which is close to Xiamen railway station, metro lines 1 and 3. WanXiang shopping mall is just nearby with lots of luxury brands. I really like the design of the room. In-room amenities are basic, and the bed is quite hard to sleep but nice for one night stay. Greatly recommend this hotel.

GOOD LOCATION OF THE HOTEL, CLOSE TO THE SHOPPING CENTER AND ALSO NOT FAR FROM THE TRAIN STATION. THE ROOM I CHOOSE IS A ROOM WITH A LARGE PROJECTOR TV, ENOUGH FOR ENTERTAINMENT IN THE ROOM.

I rate 3/5 for cleanliness is because of the lack of smoke filter in the hotel. Once i turn on the aircond, the smell of smoke (cigarette) from other room get blasted into my room. Luckily i stayed when the weather was cool. I didnt turn on the ac and opened the window instead (we upgraded to room with windows with a small fee). The staffs are very kind and friendly. The amenities are good. There's seat warmer on the toilet seat. The room cleanliness (apart from the smoke) was actually fairly good. Soundproofing is 4/5. Not the best but Better than some hotels that i stayed at in the past few days. Location is exactly at the opposite of mixc & 8mins to xiamen station.

This place is convenient near 250m subway. There are many restaurants nearby

Allston is a good sized hotel in a great location close to everything for people who like to be outside the hotel exploring than being inside. The rooms was larger than we expected and clean. From our first arrival there, the staff were very helpful and accomodating. It was our first time in China and the staff at Allston did their best to communicate with us even though we didn’t know any mandarin. The security uncle was so friendly and he was hospitable giving us tea on arrival and helped us with our bags and the wifi. Breakfast next day was in a small comfortable room on the 3rd floor with local healthy choices and it suited our tastes. The front desk girl and the lady and guy the next day were both so accomodating holding our bags after check out time  guiding us to places we can eat around the place and all around explain things to us through translation apps lots of sign gestures and lots of laughing with guests who knew a little English. We were very happy with our stay in Allston and it was really the people that made it wonderful.

Great hotel, super convenient location. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Great place to start your visit to Xiamen!
