Tongheshun Hotel (Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street)

Lobby is second floor and there is no lift, you have to press the bell at ground lever and the counter lady will come down n carry for you. Kudos to the girls. Room is slightly small but switching on the lights, aircon, television can be done be voice control. Quite fun.

This hotel is located nearby Zhongshan road pedestrian street (＜1 min walk). Bus or taxi stop is in front of the hotel. Zhenhai road Metro station (exit 3A) is about 10mins walk (the path is mostly covered so a comfortable walk). If you’re heading to the Overseas Chinese Museum or Nanputuo temple or Xiamen University, then board a bus at the bus stop near the Metro station. The hotel staff is hospitable and they are informative and helpful. I asked the staff to recommend local food and got really good recommendations. The hotel is clean and comfortable. Hotel did provide laundry service with free detergent but only 2 washing machine so need to wait very long as each wash plus dry cycle may take at least 1.5hours. However, information about the hotel and room on trip.com is erroneous. First, the name of the hotel is pronounced as Tong he shun but it’s displayed as Yiheshun. As the hotel’s entrance is at a side alley, it’s very easy to miss it. Second, I booked a room with ‘landmark view’ but got a room with no window. It’s different from the description shown on trip.com as shown on the attached photo. I ended up paying more to upgrade to a slightly bigger room with windows as I stayed a few nights.

Very nice hotel, it is in the center of Zhongshan Road. Very polite staff members. We will be back when we travel to Xiamen again
