Andaz Xiamen — Hotel in Xiamen

We stayed at the Andaz Xiamen for two nights as part of a longer 5-week trip through China and Japan - excellent choice as it turned out||Overall a lot of positives here that made our stay enjoyable:||- Concierges were super-helpful and caring, in pointing out restaurants. Excellent meal at a Michelin *-Restaurant in the Mall across from Hotel, and a Japanese-style Yakiniku Grill|- Lobby is a comfortable place to relax, read, and enjoy the complimentary afternoon hot drinks, and 5-7pm drinks and snacks|- Reception was professional, quick - arranged for take-away breakfast and super-quick check-out early monring on day of our departure|- Breakfast was overall good, just speed of delivering coffees could be improved|- Location is SUPER convenient, with multiple restaurants in the hotel building, the large Mall with Super Market, more restaurants and a food court across the courtyard, and Xiamen Station (not Xiamen North) in walking distance

This hotel is really cool. It felt like a Park hyatt the minute you walk in to the entrance. You feel like you are in a five star hotel somewhere in Thailand or other SE countries. The hotel is meticulously decorated with artworks. Hallway and checked floor are so nicely done. Word is that the hotel has received many awards for its architectural design and it shows.|The location is excellent. It is close to the Xiamen train station for highspeed rail. it is connected to MixC mall, which is one of the biggest mall in Xiamen. The mall also have underground connection to the Metro line. So one can take metro from Xiamen station to the hotel. |Xiamen weather was quite hot around our stay. It is really nice to have a hotel next the mall so I can stay indoor as much as I can, and go outside when its cooler late afternoon.|I am a globalist and I was upgraded to a corner suite which has 2 toilets and a giant bathtub which I didn't use much. The room is nicely decorated, very clean and minimalistic but with interesting colors. It is stocked with free minibar items, plenty of water bottles. We have stayed at Andaz before. It is suppose to be a hip luxury hotel similar to W. Beds are comfortable. TV comes with free movies (in Chinese). The view is mostly city view which is expected in a downtown hotel.|The hotel breakfast is excellent. It costs around 200 rmb per person but we got it free as globalist. Its a buffet style and you can also order from a menu which has specialty dishes. The foods are top notch. |The hotel Bar offers free drinks (2-5pm), free drinks/desserts (happy hour 5-7pm), and 1 free non-alcohol drink per room (after 8pm) |We didn't visit the pool and the gym. I can see the pool from my hotel room, maybe saw 1-2 people swimming.|People have been saying on little red book that the Wardoff Astoria is a better hotel. I would disagree. Wardoff maybe more luxurious but location wise Andaz is better.|We had a very enjoyable stay.. will definitely...

I went to Xiamen with my family to visit an old friend, because I only stayed one night, so I finally chose this hotel and directly booked a “Andaz suite”. The hotel called me the day before I checked in to ask about the arrival time, and I told that it would be around 2:00 p.m., and the hotel told me that since all the suites were full, they would be cleaned in time and kept for me to check in. ||The next day, when I arrived at the hotel at noon, Reception was told that the suite had not yet checked out and I needed to wait, which I understood (because global list guests can stay until 4pm). So I went back to the hotel again at 5pm and was told that the room was still not ready and I needed to wait for the supervisor's inspection, so l hv to continue to the bar and wait, I thought it would not take long time to check the room….||As a result, there was still no news after half an hour. I went from the bar to the reception again and expressed my great unhappiness. Finally, after a long communication, I finally moved into the...
