Quanzhou West Street Gucheng Alley Yu Hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at Gucheng Alley Yu Hotel and felt very welcome due to the warm, helpful and patient service from 小阳 and 小王! The room was clean and really spacious, as seen in the attached photo, and peaceful at night. The mattresses and blankets are perfect, which provides a good night's rest without leaving us feeling too warm or cold. Breakfast is served at the Yalla雅拉 restaurant within the hotel compound, which serves a mix of Singapore-style (e.g. kaya toast) and Fujian food (Shacha noodles). Food is rather average though. The hotel is located near the Quanzhou Bell Tower 泉州钟楼, making it within walking distance from Zhongshan Road (中山路) and West Street (西街), and also near excellent eateries such as 德文虾仔面 in East Street. Leaving the following information to help anyone who is planning to reach the hotel by private hire car or taxi. Please note that cars are unable to enter Zhongshan Middle Road (中山中路) and West Street (西街) due to barricades. The nearest drop off points for private hire cars, which we managed to find, are at Quanzhou Hotel (泉州酒店) and the ICBC Bank branch 中国工商银行(泉州开元支行) near the clock tower. Both of these locations will be a good 400 to 500 meters away from the hotel, with Quanzhou Hotel being the less busy drop off point, so please be prepared for the workout carrying your luggage to the hotel entrance!

Great hotel. Front desk staffs were all very attentive and helpful, special thanks 小黃. Location is convenient. Cleanliness of the rooms were ok.

I checked in with my daughter and sister from the 20th to the 24th December 2024 and we had a wonderful experience! The hotel is very new, and the 2 rooms are impressively spacious, providing great comfort throughout our stay. The location, though not accessible by large vehicles, is well-served by convenient smaller vehicles called "xiao bai," which made getting around a breeze. This thoughtful arrangement added to the charm of the place. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast. As someone from Singapore, I was thrilled to find my hometown breakfast featured alongside Quanzhou cuisine. The fusion of flavors was delightful, and we looked forward to it every morning. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, with a special mention to Zhuang Zhuang for going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Their warm hospitality truly made us feel at home. We spent four nights here and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend QUANZHOU WEST ST. GUCHENG ALLEY YU Hotel to anyone visiting Quanzhou. Thank you for a memorable stay! ---

Booked 2 rooms - one for my family and another one for my elderly parents. Hotel is very pretty and photogenic. Convenient location and close to many eateries. Hotel staff 小謝and 小张are very helpful and attentive to my elderly parents. Highly recommended and I will stay here again.

Staffs are polite, but can give better information related to surrounding old town. Toilet bowl using automated system, but not clean. Can see poop stains from previous room user.

Nice place to stay. The hotel quickly and efficiently attended to our request.
