It is our first time coming to Jinjiang and Shishi. Our relatives were a little bit old so we never asked them to pick us up at the airport and to tour us around. My first intention was to take a local Taxi going to the hotel from the airport. However, the Hotel Concierge, Mr. Roy Zhang told us to take the hotel car to and from the hotel and airport. I was happy that i listened to him because i later found out that public transportation in Jinjiang and shishi is challenging. It is hard to look for a taxi. Unlike in Shanghai and Shenzhen, they dont have subway/metro.||||I think Pullman Shishi Mattison is the best Choice of hotel in Shishi since i never saw other international brand hotel in the area. It compose of 2 building however only 1 building is with hotel rooms and this building also houses the Mattison Apartment( I think this is a serviced apartment).||The hotel room is huge, clean and beautifully designed. The bathroom has a separate shower and bathtub. Between the bathtub and the bed is a glass where you can see both sides, but they have electric powered curtain in case you want privacy.||There is a Western Style restaurant in the Lobby. From the 3nights we stayed there we ate there twice and i want to recommend to have dinner their since the taste of the seafoods are great. They also have some Steak which is also good and Hotpot and more. At the back of the hotel, they have this Chinese restaurant which we did not try since we thought it is cheaper in the lobby restaurant.||Amenities- Swimming pool, gym, billiard(with pay), Table tennis, Jaccuzzi, Sauna in the 5th floor. Other amenities like the table football and air hockey game i did not ask if it is complimentary.||||All the staff we met were very friendly and helpful which i think is a standard in an international brand Hotel like this Pullman. I am not sure if this will be the same case in other local hotel||||I am very happy to meet Mr. Roy Zhang because he was not just helpful and kind, he was sincere and very eager to teach me everything i need to know going to places i want to go. He also helped me install a taxi app...

Read moreWe travelled up to Jin Jiang to the north of Xiamen via train from Shenzhen and had booked a 7 seat van from the Pullman Shishi Mattison. The were three of us travelling and had 5 suitcases plus handcarry. The distance is approximately 18 Km and it cost CNY 260 which is on the expensive side. It was certainly very comfortable and got us to the hotel in style.||||We were greeted by a host of friendly faces and Kevin, the front office manager, speaks good English, which was a pleasant surprise.||||We were given a room on the 23rd floor and it was much better than we we expecting ||for a relatively small town. There are lots of clothing manufacturers in the vicinity, so we encountered lots of European business people that obviously came to buy or to have something manufactured and would be the main reason to have a hotel of this calibre located here.||||The breakfasts were the best we had experienced during the past few weeks of travelling throughout China, so we were all very happy campers.||||There is a massive and well equipped gym and swimming pool on the 8th floor and if you have really deep pockets, there is a helipad on the 30th floor.||||This is a great place to stay when...
