Hotel Hot Springs di Fujian, China

First time in Zhangzhou, and I felt a welcoming vibe. The hotel is located inside the ancient city, with a charming, traditional courtyard style that's perfect for taking great photos. If you're driving, you have to park in a designated parking lot (15 RMB for 24 hours) and then take a shuttle or walk to the hotel. Right outside the hotel is a lively snack street, bustling with lights and activity. I took a stroll around the ancient city at night; it wasn't too crowded, which was quite pleasant. The only downside is that they don't offer breakfast.

I checked into the hotel on the first day of Fuzhou's cold snap in January 2026. My 70-something mother was extremely satisfied with her three-day, two-night stay, calling it her first trip of the New Year where she truly 'lived within Fuzhou culture'. The hotel is perfectly located in Wenfurong, right in the heart of the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys. Stepping out, you're immediately immersed in ancient alleys, the famous 'heart-shaped tree' photo spot, and various Fuzhou snacks. Evening strolls were particularly enjoyable. Despite being in the center of a tourist area, the hotel itself was surprisingly quiet, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. The hotel is a charming conversion of an old Fuzhou traditional house (gucuo). Upon entering, you're greeted by a strong sense of scholarly elegance and historical charm. The courtyards, carved windows, and koi pond are all exquisite; every corner offers a picturesque, ancient-style photo opportunity. The front desk service was also very thoughtful; they proactively helped with luggage and patiently introduced nearby attractions and local delicacies, which made me feel very welcome. We were upgraded to a courtyard room, which had a beautiful antique feel with meticulous attention to detail. It featured wooden furniture, screens, tea sets, and even a few books about Fuzhou family culture, creating a truly immersive experience. The toiletries were from Clarins, a nice quality touch. Breakfast also deserves a mention. It offered authentic Fuzhou specialties like Rouyan (meat wontons), fish balls, Laohua (local noodle soup), and taro paste desserts. The taste was very authentic. The only minor issue was that the restaurant was a bit cold due to the sudden drop in temperature in Fuzhou, but to our pleasant surprise, on the second day, we found foot warmers provided, showing great thoughtfulness in their service.

The room was very clean and tidy. There are many great places to eat and things to do nearby. The service was excellent! (Just an FYI, the original review also mentioned 'Zhangzhou Pinghe Specialty: Baiya Qilan Tea' and '20% off Zhangzhou Puppet Show tickets (with booking assistance)' which seem like additional offerings, not part of the hotel review itself.)

This hotel is located by the Jiulong River, directly across from Zhangzhou Old Town. It offers the charm of the old city while providing a peaceful escape from the crowds. From the moment we arrived, we felt the staff's genuine care. The porter brought all our luggage to our room, and Zhang Jingyi at the front desk thoughtfully upgraded our room and gave us a detailed overview of the hotel's facilities. The hotel breakfast, in particular, felt just like home. Cai Chunhua from the Chinese restaurant enthusiastically introduced local delicacies like Shima Wuxiangjuan and Liuao sweet potatoes, patiently bringing each dish to our table. Guests not only get to savor unique local flavors but also learn about the food, making for a truly rewarding experience.

I gave it a 4.5-star rating, just to keep them humble and prevent them from getting too proud if it were a perfect 5. 😉 The hotel lobby, though small, is cozy and welcoming. There was a lovely, round-faced lady at the front desk who was especially friendly. The bed in the room was very comfortable, and despite being close to the road, the windows offered good sound insulation. However, the soundproofing between rooms wasn't as great. 😅 The restaurant is on the sixth floor; while the breakfast selection isn't vast, it's sufficient. The rooftop view is also quite nice, making it a perfect spot for sunbathing and relaxing. All in all, I was quite satisfied with my stay!

Transportation: Very convenient to get around, and there are plenty of dining options nearby, right downstairs. Dining: The breakfast is extensive, featuring local Fujian specialties like fish balls and 'bian rou' (wonton-like dumplings), which were delicious. Hygiene: Very clean, and the bathroom has a great wet/dry separation, making for an excellent experience. Service: The service truly deserves full marks. The front desk staff always greeted us with a smile during check-in, and when we checked out, they thoughtfully gave our child a small toy, knowing we had a little one with us! Our child was thrilled and said they want to come back next time!

The shangri-la putian is conveniently located opposite a huge shopping mall and beside a garden. The room was nice and cosy and the service was attentive and impeccable, with Melvin (?) accompanying us to the room and constantly asked if we needed help with anything. All the staff were friendly and helpful and gave us many suggestions on where we could go during our stay and rarely have we experienced such excellent level of hospitality when staying at similar hotels. The river view we had was amazing. Food at shang garden was tasty, and Lydia's service was excellent, offering us extra snacks and soup. The portions served were huge and reasonably priced. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Putian! 莆田香格里拉酒店地理位置优越，对面就是大型购物中心，旁边就是花园。房间舒适温馨，服务周到细致，一位名叫（Melvin）的服务员亲自送我们到房间，在大堂碰到我们时会问我们是否需要任何帮助。所有员工都非常友好热情，为我们提供了很多游玩建议。入住类似酒店，我们很少体验到如此卓越的服务。房间的河景令人惊艳。香园餐厅的菜肴美味可口，服务员（Lydia）的服务也无可挑剔，还主动为我们提供了额外的点心和汤。菜量十足，价格也十分合理。强烈推荐给所有来莆田的游客！!

Facilities: Very new, with screen mirroring capabilities and a bathtub in the room. Hygiene: Clean, with a smart toilet. Environment: The subway station is right downstairs, and it's very close to Sanfang Qixiang, just two subway stops away. There's also a residential area nearby, which is very convenient. Service: Very enthusiastic and attentive. All the staff greet you when they see you, and they're always ready to help with any requests. The robot delivery service is also very fast.

During our wonderful trip with friends, Longjiang Hot Spring Hotel gave us a wonderful surprise. The rooms were spacious and bright, the bedding was clean and comfortable, and there was even a delightful surprise of a small courtyard with a bathtub. The hotel grounds are large and very quiet, offering hot springs and a swimming pool. We found great relaxation here. The receptionist and the butler provided excellent service, responding promptly and effectively resolving all issues. Taxi arrangements are very convenient, and most trips cost less than 10 yuan. There's no need to stay in the bustling old town or city center. Highly recommended! We will definitely choose this hotel again next time we visit Zhangzhou.

Go for it, you won't regret it! This hot spring hotel delivered all the happiness I needed. The environment is absolutely stunning! Surrounded by green mountains, the hot spring pools are nestled among lush greenery, with mist rising all around like a fairy tale – perfect for photos! The service is impeccable; from the moment I was greeted upon arrival, through check-in, and guidance to the hot springs, the staff were constantly smiling, attentive, and incredibly warm, always ready to help. The food deserves huge praise too; the Chinese and Western buffets offered a huge variety, the desserts were exquisite, and even breakfast was so abundant it was dazzling! The value for money is top-notch. I've already recommended it to my best friend, and I definitely plan to come back for a second visit!
