Jinjiang Hotel

Fujian


Not many midrange chain hotels are as good value as this one. It’s opposite a fine park with lake plus a useful local bus stop, and there are good restaurants in the residential neighbourhood. All rooms are mostly quiet, are large enough to practise yoga on the floor and the bathrooms sparkle.
