Xiamen Qian Mansion-1929 (Zhongshan Road Maternity and Child Zhenhai Road Subway Station)

The hotel is located among very typical valleys, which is part of its charm. The building is very traditional, surrounded by trees and plants that enhance the feeling of being in an authentic place. Even though it’s nestled in the valleys, it’s easy to get there—you can take the bus or the subway without any trouble. There are also many local restaurants close to the hotel. My days at the hotel were fantastic.

Above average

Very beautiful picturesque building with welcoming service. There were many mosquitos in my room even though I killed like three per day, they just kept coming. The room was also a bit too moist, it smelled a bit unpleasant and the sheets felt moist too.

Beautiful old builing. It is a bit hard to find, but worth it. You need to tell them to clean your room. They dont speak English, but are very helpful and friendly.

This hotel is a very old mansion. It brings you back to the China of the 1900s, with a touch of nostalgia. Our room was big and comfortable. The front desk would contact you via WeChat to ask if you would like your room serviced daily. Room was comfortable and clean but bathroom cleanliness could be improved. Water drainage is slow. Some hooks for clothes in the bathroom would be good. Cleanliness of the compound, especially the rooftop could be improved. Access to this hotel is via some narrow lanes. Once you get your bearings, it is actually very easy to navigate the narrow lanes. Location is less than 10mins walk to Zhenhai metro station (Maternity & Child Care hospital exit) and also to the shops and ferry terminals. However, to go to Gulangyu island, you need to use the metro and go to the international cruise terminal to take the ferry. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and reckon it's value for money.

Qian Mansion is a unique hotel in a beautiful colonial mansion. It's rare to stay in such a special building in an authentic neighbourhood among narrow alleyways. I hope I get a chance to stay there again. The location is also convenient, close to the waterfront, metro and pedestrian streets where there are many food choices. A truly wonderful choice for your stay in Xiamen. The room was basic and comfortable. The staff get 10 stars. They are so kind and helpful. I really appreciate how they helped me considering my Mandarin is poor and I can't read Chinese. I saw how nice they were to other guests as well. My only problem was that there was 2 days of a film crew filming a television commercial. Guests could have been warned that they wouldn't be able to use the full hotel and perhaps received a discount for inconvenience. They took up most of the common spaces in the building and guests couldn't enjoy all the beautiful spaces. Men from the crew were constantly spitting. Spitting on the ground shouldn't happen within a hotel.
