Linshifu Mansion Hotel (Gulangyu Island)

the building is an antique , there's one middle age man hotel staff that served us very well

A very historical place with beautiful surroundings. But definitely overpriced for the quality of service. I would suggest to spend the equal amount to stay near the beach in Xiamen.

Lin Shifu's Mansion is such a peaceful and elegant place to stay! The butler even came to collect me from the pier and helped me find the way to the hotel. He also gave me his WeChat and let me ask questions whenever I wanted help: ordering dinner, questions about returning ferries etc. The room was elegently designed in a mixture of traditional Chinese and traditional European style. The windows opened onto the couryard, so I sipped on coffee quietly and enjoyed the view. At night the only sound was wind and the trees swaying. So soothing! Both dinner in the hotel's restaurant and the set breakfast were amazing. The dining room itself feels like you have stepped back into a more elegant and refined time. And the presentation (and taste) and the food is great. Definitely photogenic, too, for those who want to get pictures of a more special experience. Thank you for all your help throughout my stay. I really felt welcomed and safe (as a solo traveller). Very comfortable. I slept very well indeed.

Enjoyed our stay here a lot. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. The personnel of the hotel is very nice. Everything is in style of the end of the 19th century. It is very appreciated that the owners of the hotel tried to restore as much of the building as possible and recreate the a**osphere of those times. We loved the idea of serving breakfast in Lyn family style. If we come back to Gulangyu will definitely stay here again. Thank you!
