Portman Seascape Hotel

The room was great, very comfortable and in a great location. The view over the bay was brilliant. The staff were great, they took me to get a test when I arrived and helped me set everything up. The room could use a fridge though as it’s pretty hot in Xiamen. The hotel is also a bit difficult to find, it’s on the 23rd floor and not named on the outside. To get into the building there are gates as well which can be frustrating to get through at times but they are minor complaints.

Positive: + location + view + price OK Negative: - difficult to find (hotel is only on 23rd floor of the building) - entrance into the building: There are face scanners at the entrance, which will not let you pass. Nobody knows how to get in... you have to sneak in somehow... - old building, not very clean... they offer bath tub covers - don't they trust their own cleanliness? - problems with registering foreigners

A hotel in the center of the city, with a good location. It is very close to the dock, and it is very convenient to go to Gulangyu Island. Behind it is the Eighth Market. It is a good place to eat seafood. Walking a little more is Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. The hotel is located on the 23rd floor. There is no obvious sign downstairs. You can call first. The owner is a good man. The twin room has a sea view, and the size is quite moderate. We are a family, Parents and two children. We live in a double bed room, which is smaller but cheaper. The room is clean and the toilet is complete. The only fly in the oin**ent is that there is no free parking lot. There are few parking spaces on the first floor. If you don't drive by yourself and don't want to spend too much, this is a good choice.

Nice hotel with a great view! The location is very convenient, it’s easy to get to the most famous Zhongshan street.

Great location, great views. Staff were very friendly, place was very clean. However, booked a room with a bathtub, no plug. Instead given a ‘bathtub bag’ which was essentially a plastic bag you put in the bath then fill with water. Managed to use it to block the drain and use the bath as normal.

It was a bit hard for me to find the hotel at first. It located in the tall building, same door to Mercury Hotel. You can call to help you. The real name of the hotel is Oyu that reminds me Oyo. It looks like the room was smaller. I booked a 25m square room, but it looks not bigger than 15 or 18 m square. The shower room is too small that you can’t even close the door.

Very good location and very near to the ferry station

Nice room and view. The location is very central and it's easy to walk to the popular food streets.

Lovely hotel! Staff is super friendly and helpful. It’s right near the bus stop that goes to the Gulanyu ferry.
