The hotel is located in a beautiful and quiet place. While living in this hotel I enjoyed a good service, comfortable and clean room, beautiful views and good memories. It is very convenient to get to this hotel from the ferry, but you need to find the right way to avoid the ladders if you carry a heavy luggage with you. The only point: if you are a European and don’t like Chinese breakfasts, it’s better for you to take a room without breakfast and eat in the morning at the restaurants which serve the European food or at McDonald’s/KFC/Starbucks. This hotel is one of the best on the island.
Response from Property: Thank you for your five-star review. Nice to meet you~Have a nice trip in China.

Beautiful building. Beautiful room. Nice bathroom, very good amenities. Strongly recommended. The only thing is that there was no TV in the room - but this is understandable : the Island is so beautiful that you have to be outside the room and sightseeing.
Response from Property: At the end of a thousand sails passing by in the world, there will be tenderness and moonlight. Thank you for leaving us with valuable feedback. Your satisfaction is our greatest encouragement and recognition~

A very beautiful B&B with unique decoration. The location is less than ten minutes walk after getting off the pier, which is very convenient. The owner of the B&B sent a guide in advance, which was very practical. The girl at the front desk is so gentle and considerate. The only drawback is that in the twin room we stayed in, the air conditioner was blowing towards the bed at the door, which made it a bit cold🥶

Response from Property: Dear friend ^_^ Thank you for your interest in Yiju Hotel. The hotel is located at No. 31 Guxin Road. It is one of the Yangjiayuan villas and one of the top ten villas in Gulangyu. It was built in 1913 and is decorated in a Western Baroque style. At the same time, it incorporates a modern flavor and presents a feeling of combining Chinese and Western. The gate is facing the famous landmark "Bagua Tower" in Gulangyu Island, which is quiet in the bustle. The third floor of the house is the most beautiful rooftop terrace in Gulangyu Island, the Twin Towers, Bagua Tower, Yanwu Bridge and Xiamen landmarks such as Sunlight Rock can be seen at a panoramic view. We hope to provide every guest with a comfortable and pleasant stay experience while living in Gulangyu to experience the city's culture. Thank you again for your support and suggestions. We will definitely do better and better. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

The environment of the hotel is very good, but the slope in front of the door is a bit steep and it is a bit laborious to go up. The top floor terrace has a good view, you can almost see the whole view of Gulangyu Island, and the butler service is very considerate.

I like it very much, the old bungalow, the room has a small balcony. The hotel can take photos up close with the Octagon Tower. You can see the night view of Xiamen from the rooftop at night. The only thing is that the washing machine is in a remote back garden. It's a bit scary to go there at night, but everything else is fine.

The room is very nice. The hotel is behind the Bagua Building and next to the Second Middle School. The environment is great, very comfortable and the transportation is convenient. It takes about five minutes to walk from Sanqiutian to the hotel. From the top floor you can look around almost the entire island.

What an honor it is to live in a world cultural heritage. The hotel we stayed in this time was one of the villas in Yangjiayuan. It was decorated in a Nanyang retro style and the rooms were spacious and high-ceiling, full of style. Next door to the hotel is Bagua Tower, whose iconic red dome can be seen every day. I have also tasted the restaurants recommended by the hotel and they are worth recommending. The service is also very attentive. If you have anything, you can contact the front desk via WeChat, and everything we can do will be answered. The only drawback is that the hotel is on a slope, and it is still difficult for people with disabilities and the elderly to get in and out. You need to consider it carefully when booking a room.

It is best to cover the glass transom on the door of the room where you live, otherwise the bed will face the door and you will not feel safe while sleeping.

The terrace on the third floor has a beautiful view, the breakfast is rich, and the back garden is beautiful. It would be nice if the room facilities could be more refined. The door lock is not very good and it feels like it does not close tightly.

It is said to be a hotel, but it is actually a B&B. It is located in an alley next to Bagua Tower. There is a long and steep slope. It is difficult for those with large luggage to move up. The waiter said he could come to pick us up at the pier, but he actually didn't come. We were almost exhausted carrying our big luggage to the hotel. The overall service of the B&B is still not up to par. There are no service staff after 11 o'clock in the evening. If there is any need, there is no way to follow up in time. The sanitary environment of the room is very good, but the service facilities are insufficient. There is no telephone or TV. On rainy days, it is impossible for the elderly to watch TV in the room. There is no phone in the room, so you have to add their WeChat to communicate about the services you need, which is very inconvenient. Finally, let me talk about the breakfast provided. It is so exquisite that even those with a moderate appetite will not be full. It consists of a small half-cut fried dough sticks, a small half-cut corn, a small bowl of soy milk, a small cup of porridge, a piece of watermelon and two grapes. I want it. Most of the fried dough sticks were said to be gone. The overall rating is not worth having.

Response from Property: We are very sorry to hear that you had such an unpleasant experience with us and the shortcomings in service hours and facilities, we are deeply sorry. After you book our room on the platform, the front desk housekeeper will contact you one day in advance and add you on WeChat to send you a video route from the pier to the B&B, as well as an applet for purchasing boat tickets. Because you arrived early and were in the peak check-out period, the housekeeper will contact you. Contact us in advance via WeChat and we will pick you up. You arrived at the store on your own without contacting our steward after disembarking the ship. Gulangyu Island is the only small island in the country that is not accessible to traffic. The road conditions on the island are up and down slopes, and you need to walk up and down the hills, which is quite physically demanding. When you check in at the hotel, the butler will thoughtfully serve you a welcome drink and help you take your luggage to your room on the second floor. Our Yangjiayuan (a world cultural protected heritage) has a history of hundreds of years. We are very sorry that it did not meet your expectations. Regarding the lack of service staff after 11 pm, the night shift housekeeper sent you a good night message and left an emergency number before going to bed. You said on WeChat that night that the ambient light under the bed would not be turned off. In order not to disturb you too much, the on-duty housekeeper also came first. It will take time to reply to you and tell you the location of the switch. The breakfast portion you mentioned was insufficient, and every issue made us blame ourselves. We will definitely reflect deeply and act quickly to strengthen the management and training of employees, supplement the service facilities in the rooms, and increase the variety and quantity of breakfast. We sincerely hope that you can give us another chance to make up for our mistakes and provide you with a new and satisfactory experience.

The location is considered to be the highest point on Gulangyu Island. It has a good view and is relatively quiet. The disadvantage is that the climb is very hard, especially with children and big suitcases. The staff is very nice and will help with luggage. The hotel itself can be used as a photo spot, which is very unique. From the terrace on the third floor, you can see the sea and the Bagua Tower.

The location of the house is quite good. It is next to Bagua Tower. There is a slope to the hotel. Madam, you may need to pay attention. Everything else is quite good. The rooftop has a nice view, but the weather is so hot. Hahahaha.
