Holiday Inn Express Xiamen Airport Zone by IHG

What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express Xiamen Airport Zone by IHG, travellers highlight friendly, helpful staff and a varied breakfast, plus spacious rooms, yet recurring smoke odours, basic amenities, and a remote location temper the otherwise positive appeal for airport stopovers.

Many appreciate proximity to Gaoqi Airport, though there is no free shuttle and taxis or buses are typically used. Expect generally clean, comfortable spaces and occasional sea views, but limited English at the front desk and sporadic maintenance issues appear in reviews. A practical choice for short stays near the airport.

It’s a simple hotel with limited amenities, suitable mainly for an overnight stay. The ocean view is beautiful, especially at sunrise — but without an oceanview room, the experience would feel rather dull. The front desk staff were not particularly friendly, although the restaurant staff were pleasant. For tourists looking for local information, a warmer and more helpful attitude from the front desk would have made a big difference. Basic courteous service goes a long way. Although it’s described as an airport hotel, it’s actually in a remote area surrounded by industrial and commercial buildings. For an overnight stay near the airport, it might be better to choose a location that’s closer to local malls and dining options to make the last night more enjoyable before heading to the airport.

The hotel is very clean and it’s really new as well! The only inconvenience is that it’s a bit far from the cbd! But it’s very close to the Gaoqi Airport! The room is very spacious, the only down thing is that there ain’t a mini fridge in the room!

Disappointed to find that there was no shuttle service to & from the airport (the reason I chose the hotel). Per claim in Expedia there was supposed to be a shuttle service; instead had to get a taxi. Another dissappointment was that the lobby was humid; this was true for most of the property.The male staff in the lobby was not as efficient as the female staff in terms of accomodating, friendliness, efficiency and attitude. Only two observations worthy of mention is the service of Li Hongying in the dining area. She greeted guests as they enter, asked what was needed, made suggestions, converse with guests to make them feel welcomed and other things that house host would normally do for guests. Then there was the cleaning lady (that I did not get the name) on the eight floor. She was superb: very gentle, respectful, efficient in keeping rooms very clean; quietly going about her tasks in humble mannerism. One is struck that without her the hotel would be dilapitated in quick fashion.

The first room smelled of cigarette smoke and the staff immediately moved me to another room after I complained, but the cigarette smell remained in every room. The TV also didn't work at all. If you hate the smell of cigarette smoke, please don't book this hotel.

One of the best features is it has international chargers in all outlets in the room. However it does not support the three pron USA version. You would need to adapter to this case such as laptop plugins.. The food was very good. It came with breakfast. However, the restaurant was open for lunch and dinner. The cost of the food was inexpensive. There was plenty of walking areas on the waterfront. However, there's not much nearby and over of restaurants or other. .
