“Thence I passed eastward to a certain city called Fuzhou…The city is a mighty fine one, and stands upon the sea…(Friar Odoric—Franciscan in China, 1323-1327)

Fuzhou has hundreds of quality hotels that you can easily book online, so how do you narrow them down?  Here are my favorites--based on some unique attribute (price, view, food, location, etc.).  Fuzhou, by the way, is famous for hotsprings, so many hotels offer hotspring water right out of the tap (which somehow seems like any other hot water to me--but I'm usually in hot water as it is...)

Fujian Sunshine Holiday Hotel (Yangguang Duri Dajiudian 福州阳光度日大酒店）
I stay here a couple dozen nights each year.  Clean, rooms, good food, good service, very reasonable rates (if you bargain, as little as 260 Yuan a night).  Great location: only ten minute walk to Wuyi Square and downtown.  And hot spring water on tap.  Dining Hint: walk outside the hotel, to the right, and at the main road, on the left, is a tiny mom and pop N.E. China (Dongbei) fast food place with excellent homemade Chinese dumplings (jiaozis) of many kinds, noodles, etc. Simple wooden tables, the plainest decor--but a delightful family making great home-cooked food. (They don't speak English; I'll translate their menu for you).
Address: 26 Gaoqiao Rd. Fuzhou, China 350005
Tel: 86-591-83365333

Fuzhou Lakeside Hotel  (Fuzhou Xihu Dajiudian 福州西湖大酒店) 5 Stars -- one of Fuzhou's first international; still one of my favorites. Great rooms, service, food (I enjoyed their Octoberfest, with German beer and Chinese barbequed octopus!), reasonable prices.  Right beside the lake (of course); only ten minute walk to park and Panda reserve.
Address: 158 Hu Bin [Lakeside] Rd. Fuzhou, China
Tel: 86-591-87839888

Fuzhou Shangri La Hotel   （Fuzhou Xianggelila Dajiudian 福州香格里拉大酒店) 5 Stars   Elegance, comfort--and pricey.  But very convenient location, right downtown on Wuyi Square (which has the statue of the Great Traffic Cop; well, that's what it looks like to me). From here it is but a short stroll to Yishan Hill and the White Pagoda, the Muslim Mosque, great shopping, etc.
Address: #9 Xinquan South Rd.  Fuzhou, China  350005
Tel: 86-591-87988888

Golden Resources International Hotel (Jinyuan Guoji Dajiudian金源国际大酒店) 5 Stars  A posh and sprawling commmercial hotel near the Fuzhou International Exhibition Center; every amenity you could expect. Great restaurants. 
Address: #59 Hotsprings Park Rd.(Wenquan Gongyuan Lu) Fuzhou, China 350003
Tel: 86-591-87088888

Ramada Plaza Hotel  (Fuzhou Huameida Guangchang Dafandian 福州华美达广场大饭店）4 Stars  Some claim this is Fuzhou's best; reasonably priced for what you get. It is the first "international" hotel (though I thought the Lakeside was of international quality). Unique "gothic" architecture.
Address: 108 Beihuan West Rd.  Fuzhou, China 350003
Tel: 86-591-7883999
