2-Star Hotels in Kinmen

The homestay is a short walk from the bus stop (for buses No Red 1 and No 2 from the main Kinmen town of Jincheng) and a 7-11 convenience store. The traditional Fujian building is beautiful and an attraction in itself, with an atmospheric courtyard where guests could chill with coffee and/or a meal. But it has been newly renovated with modern amenities, and the place is very clean and well kept. The host was warm and really very helpful. When he heard that we wanted to walk up Mt Taiwu, he drove us to the start of the walking trail. He also gave us a contact for a taxi driver in case we needed a ride back. And when he learnt that we were tracing our ancestors, he brought us to meet an elder who might have a family register. Really thankful to have met a host like him.

It was a great stay at the 7 inn. The host picked up us from the airport on arrival day and sent us to the ferry terminal before departure. The room was very clean with an attached bathroom with no need to share. There’s a busy kitchen but you can always ask if you need to use it for anything. The location is about 2km away from the city center so it’s easier to get around if you get a bike/rental. The host knows all the history about the place and beyond, a super knowledgeable guide when he showed us around the town and gave us tips and recommendations for local activities and restaurants. We only stayed one night and the host took us to the “燕南书院” which had a spectacular paranormal view of the island and a great place to spot the wild peacocks, a perfect ending for our trip to Kinmen. Will definitely be back and stay here next time ❤️

The service was excellent; the uncle and auntie were very warm and hospitable. The environment was clean and tidy. Although the room wasn't large, it was small but perfectly equipped. The only drawback, or perhaps an advantage, was the convenient transportation. The guesthouse is located next to a main road, and you can often hear motorcycles whizzing by.

What I liked: the location is very convenient if you’re coming to Kinmen from Xiamen. The homestay is walking distance from Shuitou Port (about 15 minutes). The owner is a very friendly and helpful person. He helped me rent an electric motorcycle and responded very fast to all of my text messages. The homestay is clean (the cleaning lady is very kind, too! ^^). There’s a lot of storage space as well as lockers. The shampoo and body wash in the bathroom were also really nice. What could be improved: the bunk beds consists of a wooden plank and bedding, so it was quite hard and a bit uncomfortable. However, I still managed to sleep well and there’s enough privacy. There are no locks in the homestay. Basically anyone from outside can access the public areas and the room with the bunk beds, which can be scary for some solo travelers. However, the homestay has security cameras and Kinmen is very safe in general, so I was never really worried. The door of the room is quite heavy and makes a lot of noise, so this is something to be mindful of when it’s late and you’re sharing the room with other guests. All in all, I had a great experience and would stay here again. I’m really happy to have had the opportunity to stay at a traditional house for such an affordable price.

Staying at Jingcheng Home Stay was perfect for us. Since Kinmen is a very small town and our family went there especially to experience its historic heritage. The wife of the owner of Jingcheng, Ms Xie  was extremely helpful on our first day as she took us around town for a short tour and helped us to ascertain the local tour bus routes. This saved us a lot of time and hassles in the following day. And she helped us to call a taxi ahead of time for our departure to the ferry pier. I recommend Jingcheng  very much for those who do not mind home stay.

The old house is well-preserved, and the interior is clean. The surrounding pathways are also very tidy, making it a quiet village perfect for a leisurely stroll. It's very close to the pier; there's a bus that goes directly to the pier just a minute's walk away, though you'll need to check the timetable in advance. You can also book a pickup/drop-off service with the owner for an additional fee, which is very convenient.

I had a really pleasant stay at Kivala Hostel. The place was very clean and well looked after, especially the bathrooms and sleeping areas, which made a big difference for a hostel. The hosts were friendly and easy to communicate with, and the check-in process was smooth. The location is quiet and peaceful, which I personally liked, though it’s a little away from the main busy areas — something to keep in mind if you want everything right outside your door. The common areas were comfortable and practical, and the overall atmosphere felt calm and respectful rather than noisy or chaotic. Overall, it’s great value for money and a solid choice if you want a clean, comfortable, and relaxed place to stay in Kinmen. I’d happily stay here again.

The geographical advantage is not particularly prominent, but it is only five minutes by bike to Carrefour. Since it is a youth travel, it has everything that the youth travel has. The concept of shared space and tolerance is the best choice for a trip to Golden Gate.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel and cannot recommend it enough. Everything was fantastic from start to finish. The highlight of my stay was definitely the owner; she is incredibly kind and helpful. She went above and beyond to assist me in renting an electric scooter, which made exploring the area so much easier. The property was spotlessly clean, and the location is very convenient. There is a convenience store just a 2-minute walk away, which was very handy. If you are looking for a great place to stay with top-notch service, this is it.

It is located across the crosswalk in front of Jincheng Bus Terminal. The inside was very clean. The staff could speak basic Japanese and were very kind. When I checked in, they gave me a prepaid card (2 x 35 NTD) that could be used at Family Mart 😍 It was spacious and stylish. There is no refrigerator or safety deposit box. There is a large shared refrigerator at the reception on the second floor that you can use. There is a folding chair hanging on the wall. The table is also foldable. The shower had enough water and temperature. I wonder why Taiwan doesn't separate the dry and wet areas (no partition between the shower and toilet). It was a much more comfortable accommodation than I imagined from the outside of the building. It's also great that it's right in front of Jincheng Bus Terminal!
