Fliport Garden Hotel

This was my second stay here, and it was just as excellent as the first. The room was very clean, and the airport is right outside the window, making it super convenient to get there – just a few minutes' drive. Highly recommend!

The room was spacious and bright, and the bed was very comfortable. The window offered a view of the airport runway, which was quite interesting to watch planes take off from. I arrived very late, but the front desk staff were welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with a good variety, including some local Xiamen specialties.

The hotel is next to the airport, and the free shuttle service is a thoughtful touch, making it super convenient for overnight layovers. The room was clean and quiet, so I had a great rest. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient with the check-in process. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone catching a flight.

Mainly to capture some footage before Takasaki Airport closed, I chose this hotel's apron view room. I was given a room on the 11th floor with a window facing the 05 runway, though it couldn't be fully opened. The room's glass was quite clean, but I still wiped it myself because of the rain. Since runway 05 was in use that day, it was a great spot for plane spotting. I redeemed points for breakfast, and they also provided fruit and a late checkout until 2 PM. Getting to the airport is generally convenient, but taxis are not expensive.

A very satisfying three-day trip; all services were excellent. For taking photos of planes from the 12th-floor window, it might be better if you clean the window yourself for clearer shots. The breakfast was good. It's the most convenient hotel before Gaoqi (airport) closes.

Unexpectedly good! The room was very clean and well-equipped, though there weren't many washing machines in the laundry room. It's very close to the airport. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Xiamen. The front desk staff were also very enthusiastic.

I chose Baixiang, which has more branches, over Zijin Hotel, and it turned out to be the wrong choice. First, the moment I walked in, I had a bad feeling! The female receptionist on the evening of the 23rd seemed to be in a bad mood? When a guest arrived at the front desk, she didn't even look up, just kept her head down doing her own thing, colder than a robot. It was as if asking her to check me in was bothering her. Isn't this her job? Guests staying at a hotel don't need excessive enthusiasm, but they certainly don't want to be treated with such indifference. Another female staff member wearing glasses and a male staff member that evening were relatively more proactive. To be fair, when checking out the next day, the front desk staff's attitude was significantly better, especially the female staff member whose English name starts with N. She was smiling the whole time. That kind of front desk staff is truly the face of the hotel. Next, the most important issue – room hygiene – was really bad. The toilet had obvious stains, and the bathroom doorknob was covered in thick dust. Since I checked in at night and just wanted to quickly wash up and sleep, I didn't ask housekeeping to clean it. I wiped it myself with wet wipes. The next day, when I was about to sit down to eat, I found hair next to the chair seam – yes, it was curly hair! Stuck in the seam. Although it wasn't very obvious, you could see it if you just looked down! I asked housekeeping to send a plastic chair, and the service staff kept saying they didn't notice the hair in the corner and offered to wipe it with a cloth. Plus, the chair seam was moldy and black when I pried it open! How could I possibly sit on that! I can understand finding hair in the corners and edges of the floor! But this was on the chair I was supposed to sit on, which is really disgusting! I hope the hotel takes hygiene issues seriously! The soundproofing needs improvement. The gap under the door was huge; you can see in the photos that the hallway lights could shine into the room. I could hear conversations in the hallway and other rooms' doors opening and closing. Objectively, the only advantage: convenient airport shuttle service.

With Takasaki Airport closing at the end of the year, I specifically chose a hotel room with an airfield view during my layover in Xiamen – it was amazing for plane spotting! The hotel is a convenient 5-minute drive from the airport, and the shuttle service is a big plus. You can even use a fast track lane to check in your luggage yourself, which is incredibly convenient.

Huge shoutout to the hotel front desk! We booked this hotel specifically so my child could photograph airplanes. We arrived in Takasaki at 8 AM, and when the front desk learned our intention, they actually took my child to choose a floor themselves. In all my years of travel, this is the first time I've encountered such a thoughtful front desk! Definitely a five-star rating! Highly recommend staying here if you're bringing your kids to photograph planes!
