Arrival

The distance from Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport to the hotel is approximately 6km and a taxi ride costs me CNY 29.7 (USD~$4). I set up my Alipay account linked with my credit card in advance and could pay for my ride and necessities during my layover.

Thoughts

This is suitable for you if you just want a bed to rest for a layover

There isn’t any restaurant nearby, and the nearest convenience store is about 6~8 minutes away by foot, I would suggest getting something from the airport upon arrival or you can order takeout if you can access the local delivery service. For anything else (e.g. Shopping) you need to call a taxi

This is not a fully smoke-free hotel so make sure you specify a non-smoking room and confirm with the desk again upon check-in

Self-service laundry is available and only payable via WeChat, Do approach the staff if you need help with the code
