“Great Choice - Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I travel to Xiamen four times a year and the Millennium is my top choice. My travel schedule is that I always arrive very late/early morning and the staff is energetic and helpful and make my check in quick and easy. The rooms are clean, nice size, and comfortable. I love the large buffet breakfast and there is also a great Italian restaurant when you want a break from local food. Walk out the side door and there is great shopping available with both store fronts and booths on the street. Keep walking ten more minutes and you are at the ferry which takes you to Gulangyu Island where you can walk the streets of embassies, visit the piano museum or more shopping at Pearl World and Yogi’s Art.

Dear Guest,

I am glad to hear that we are your number one choice during your visits to Xiamen. Our staff are the backbone to this hotel and treating every guest like family is what we strive to achieve. We do offer three other restaurants for those who are not in the mood for the buffet every day. Chef Pippo, from the Portofino Italian Restaurant, is one of the best Italian chefs in Xiamen. We are proud to have him here in our hotel.
The shopping and local sights are just a nice walk or quick taxi ride away. I have also had the pleasure of visiting Gu Lang Yu and experiencing the many different sights and shops it has to offer. It takes at least a whole day to fully experience all the island has to offer.

Thank you for choosing Millennium Harbourview Hotel as your top choice in Xiamen. We look forward to seeing you again on your next trip here.

Sincerely,
Levi Fleming
Manager

“My top choice for the past 5 years!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

Each time we visited Xiamen, Millennium Harbourview is our ultimate choice. I love the great service, sumptuous buffet spread, large and comfortable rooms and the best part is that it's a less than a minute walk away from Zhong Shan Road.

Unfortunately I also have to add on that my recent stay(4th time) with them was pretty unpleasant. Terrible service from the receptionists during check in and check out! I hope this is only a one off incident and that they will improve when I visit again the next time round.

Room Tip: Higher floors offer great views of the sea! We prefer the Deluxe rooms.

“A Home Away From Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The Millennium Harbourview and their super friendly staff have become like family to me over the last several years. Typically I am able to travel to Xiamen once a year and every time I do, I stay at the Millennium.

The staff are reason number 1. They make efforts to know our first names and respectfully call us by our last. In an unfortunate moment of forgetfulness, a bag was left in a taxi and the staff at the MH were quite efficient in tracking down the taxi and getting our belongings back. They always go the extra mile and truly put me at ease while I stay as their guest.

The rooms are quite comfortable and have everything one might need for a stay. I have stayed in the Deluxe, Superior, and Executive rooms and have really been more than comfortable with all of them. The value for the price is excellent and I have never looked at going to any other hotel...the MH has captivated my attention!

The breakfast buffet and dinner buffet were beyond amazing. I have really grown to love breakfast as a special part of my trips here. They have copious amounts of Western favorites as well as morsels of local preferences at both seatings.

The location of the MH is perfect. One block from the water, a short taxi or local bus to the University and beach, and you are set. Downtown Xiamen is also a short cab ride away, and if you are adventurous, not too far for a walk either.

If you are traveling on business or leisure, you will feel quite comfortable in this VERY safe, VERY customer-centric hotel!

Give my best to Simon, Michael, and Jackson if you stay there!

Room Tip: Pick a room facing away from the front of the hotel if you have trouble sleeping, but I like the vie...

“Good service, convenient location, and reasonable price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

Overall, the service is very good. The room is big and comfortable. The decoration is done in good taste. And the bathroom is very clean. Though the mattress is hard as usual (in China), they supply a soft cushion as soon as I demand it. We enjoy the complimentary fruit in our room---fresh and sweet. We also like the Italian restaurant in the hotel---the chef from Italy is very nice, but oddly the manager (a middle-aged woman)'s service attitude is much worse than the waitresses' (those young girls are extremely helpful and courteous).
What is unacceptable is that their green tea has no flavor at all (considering the city is right in Fujien province famous for its green tea) and decaf comes in only instant packs. This hotel could be a five-star one if they could improve on these issues. I believe they'll because the management office calls and asks for our evaluation before we check out. It shows that they do try hard to maintain their standards.
By the way, try to avoid any trip to the Gulangyu Island on weekends, because the ferry is so crowded and chaotic. It's a beautiful island but it's hard to find a clean, decent cafe or restaurant.

“Not bad at all, offers very good value.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

Not bad at all.

In a convenient location for the waterfront, the Millenium offers a good value hotel compared to some of the other big name chains.

Check in was faultless as was the well appointed room.

Bar area is a little sterile and one of those areas where they are trying to create a bar but failing miserably. Must be better bars a short cab ride away.

Food is okay but nothing spectacular.

Dear MisterB65,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about our hotel. As you noted, our location is one of the many strong points of this hotel along with our friendly staff and great competitive value.

Our bars are very unique and there for not like the typical bars in the city. The Golf Bar is the only one of its kind in Xiamen with its own putting green and large natural waterfall. The Hollywood Bar is decorated with a classic American Hollywood theme creating a relaxing and historic atmosphere. I also recommend checking out the local bars around the Haiwan Park and Yuandang Lake area on your next visit as they are only a 5 - 10 minute taxi/bus ride away.

We are glad you enjoyed our food. Our Harbour Café buffet features different style food themes throughout the week. I must recommend our 3 other restaurants here to meet the different needs and requests of all our guests. Our Italian, Japanese and Authentic Chinese restaurants are very unique and offer a variety of different cuisines by our highly regarded chefs.

We hope to see you again on your next visit to the beautiful city of Xiamen.


Thank you again for your review,

Levi Fleming – Manager
