Xiamen Gulangyu Heitan Hotel

Lovely little hotel

It was unclear if the bar area downstairs was to be used - both inside and outside. No guidance was given on this.

Nice hotel and quite strategic location

他們早餐好吃 粥煮的好吃

設備比較久一點

酒店环境优美，早饭丰富。

Convenient location and easy to find from the ferry drop off and very near many of the attractions. The building also serves as a plum wine shop so the foyer is very characterful, with interesting bottles, barrels and demijohns galore. We enjoyed sitting in the garden in the evening and watching people walk by. The kitchen staff at breakfast time is a very friendly lady. We felt very welcome.

We didn’t mind it, but some people might not like that the property is on a well-frequented walking route so there are always a lot of people going by. It gets quieter later in the evening when the day trippers have all left the island.

This is an absolutely wonderful hotel. Our stay here was exceptional. The manager came all the pier to meet us. The lady boss treated us to mulberry tea - frm leaves grown on her 76 year old tree. She also treated us to the most marvelous plum wines. You can buy the plum wines from her. The rooms are exceptionally clean, spacious and beautiful. Breakfast was good. They also have a cafe next door ehich serves the best coffees and cake. We absolutely love this place! Will definitely tell all my friends about this lovely hotel.

Nothing to dislike

The Xiamen Gulangyu Heitan Hotel is brilliantly located, easy to get to from the ferry and great for exploring the island. My room was really spacious with a balcony and big bathroom. I could see Sunlight Rock from my room. The hotel has a lovely terrace overlooking the street, a really nice place to sit and have breakfast or enjoy a glass of fruit wine. Our host Ding Man was very friendly and treated us to a pot of newly made mulberry leaf tea. The leaves were from the tree shading the terrace.

I loved everything.

工作人員態度友善，樂於幫助旅客；酒店寬敞乾淨；地點鄰近小吃街與三丘田港，非常方便。

It’s cozy and not too far a walk from the Sanqiutian jetty

There were some construction works around the property and can be a little noisy if other rooms are occupied.

The friendliest host we had on all our trip to China. Fantastic location, beautiful architecture and a wonderful terrace to relax. Good sanitary facilities. Very helpful staff. Our stay was spontaneously extended without any problem.

The location on Gulangyu island is superb. It is a characterful and well-renovated heritage building with a lovely garden. The owner and staff went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one.

Staying at Heitan was a lovely experience allowing a calming and relaxed getaway from Xiamen city. It was lovely to drink tea under the trees in the courtyard and to bask in the atmosphere. The staff at the hotel were also very friendly and helpful, they kindly met us at the pier from where our ferry arrived and helped direct us to the hotel. As it was winter solstice, they also kindly made us delicious tang yuan to celebrate.

Everything exceeds my expectation!

I had a wonderful stay in this cozy and clean accommodation. The staff were exceptionally friendly and made me feel very welcome.

On the island

Ridiculously high price. This is much, much higher price than the similar hotels around. I should cancel my booking and book a hotel myself on the island. I feel I had been taken advantage by this hotel and booking.com.

location is superior

Wifi connection is not stable in the evening.

The hotel is situated on a gorgeous island just a short boat ride from Xiamen. We were given a fantastic room that far exceeded our expectations and really made our stay on Guyangyu special. The reception staff took care to meet us from the boat and communicated via WeChat very well, they even recommended an excellent restaurant. We will return.

Nothing.

That they looked after us on arrival and showed us a few of the streets in the neighbourhood. The hotel was clean and staff friendly

When we were finished, the staff was not going to help us back to the ferry. and we're not calling for someone who would do that.

it looks very comfortable, relaxing and the front view of the hotel looks nice. it had a nice, good and simple breakfast and suits us very well

there were quite a bit of mosquitoes in the bedroom. you could benefit from putting a insect screen by the windows to prevent this

Excellent

First, I need to mention that they recently (like as of a week ago from what the receptionist said) got approved to host foreign passport holder patrons and booking.com hasn’t updated this yet. Our whole group was American and we were able to stay here just fine. Just make sure you can either pay in cash or wechat. We paid in cash so I can’t confirm if Alipay works here, ask about that. Just make sure you have the right amount since oftentimes people don’t have change. The property is in a great location near the top of the hill so you get a nice breeze. The service was friendly and good and the breakfast, which is not included but is very cheap about $2 USD, is great. We also got one free upgrade since they had availability.

There are no screens to the windows so you need to accept that with air flow you may get a mosquito or two. That said it didn’t seem that bad. The sheets and bathroom were all very clean but the rooms definitely seem a bit more run down than in the photos, decor wise. However I’d still recommend this place, since so few of the places on Gulangyu accept foreign tourists.

great location and friendly staff

I picked a room facing the street but the window blind cannot prevent the sunshine from waking me up very early in the morning …

great location! the staffs are very friendly and helpful, they offered us many options on restaurants and saved us a plenty of time. the hotel itself has a long history, love the garden, great place to have your coffee while watching the cats. overall, it’s a great stay!
