Swiss Grand Xiamen-Harbour View

Very clean and service is good. Breakfast choices were excellent. However was disappointed with the pool.. most of the time there were local classés held there.. and we were told we need to wear swimming cap in order to use the pool. So was à little sad didn't get to enjoy it. The gym also not very condusive for foreigners. Anyhow the staff were very helpful and polite and try to understand english speaking guests. Specially thanks to breakfast room staff Derek and his friend on duty during our visit. And not forgetting Sarah from the lounge room, always greeting us with à smile.

Our large family had an ocean/Gulangyu-view room (1627) and a family suite (936) for over one week. Both rooms were extremely clean, well equipt and comfortable. The ocean/Gulangyu view from 1627 was wonderful. Every day it was lovely to see the island and boats. This floor was quiet and spacious. The room had everything needed, plus even a microwave and small full fridge. The family suite was excellent. The original furnishing was luxurious and elegant, and the children-focused decor delighted our young kids. It had 1.5 washrooms, a bunk bed, large bed and enough space separation to feel big to feel like an executive apartment. We also are so appreciative of the kind staff, especially the housekeeping staff Jerry (16th floor) and 张得淑 (9th floor) who made sure we had a lovely birthday celebration and our rooms were well stocked and clean. The kids also loved their personal touches, especially the towel animals. Our stay was so comfortable, we even extended our stay by 5 days and look forward to being back. (Also the breakfast and lunch buffet is truly great, especially for kids.)

Excellent location and view, great food and we used both the 24hrs room service and the breakfast room services, and the food were great. the restaurant also is great with great view and service for a very reasonable price, the top floor offers afternoon tea with a birds-eye-view of the Gulangyu island.

Non-smoking rooms and environment is superb. Comfortable environment.

Fantastic hotel if you want to explore Xiamen and the region. Perfectly located at the heart of the city, the Swiss Grand offers spacious rooms, a stunning view on the harbour and best of all, amazing staff who will help you get along with all that you need to accomplish when travelling China as a foreigner. Many thanks to Crystal for all her incredible support and Angela for the nice trip to Nanjing, organised at short notice!
