4-Star Hotels in Hainan, China

I had a pleasant stay at Atour Hotel Haikou Wanguo Metropolitan Qilou Old Street. Prior to arrival, I requested an early check-in as well as a high-floor room away from the lifts if possible, and the hotel accommodated both requests perfectly. The room was located on a high floor and offered a fantastic 270-degree panoramic view, which was undoubtedly the highlight of my stay. The front desk team was exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout. Special thanks to Front Desk Manager 万新, team member 幸怡, and the rest of the team, who went above and beyond in assisting with the collection of multiple parcels before my arrival. Their proactive assistance and warm hospitality were greatly appreciated. Communication was also very convenient, as the front desk was highly responsive via WeChat and quick to assist whenever needed. Some feedback during the stay: The room itself had a somewhat unconventional layout, likely due to the building's structure and the corner positioning required to achieve the panoramic view - totally understandable and appreciate the Front Desk for explaining it to me upon my arrival. From previous reviews, I had expected the room to feature smart controls (possibly Xiaodu, heated/automated toilet bowl as seen on other reviews), but I was not briefed on any smart room functions during check-in and could not seem to activate them myself. This was not a major issue, but a brief introduction during check-in or a simple user guide in the room would have been helpful. The panoramic view was absolutely stunning, especially during the day and around sunset. One thing to note, however, is that the floor-to-ceiling windows allow a significant amount of sunlight into the room. On particularly sunny days, the room could feel quite warm even with the air-conditioning running at full blast. Blackout curtains are provided, of course, but drawing them somewhat defeats the purpose of enjoying such a spectacular view. Breakfast was decent, offering a reasonable variety of options, although nothing particularly stood out. It was perfectly adequate for starting the day, but not one of the hotel's main highlights. One small observation regarding housekeeping: on my third morning, while I was heading out for breakfast, a housekeeper casually asked me in the corridor whether I was ”still staying today.” I understood that she was likely trying to confirm whether the room required servicing or whether I would be checking out, but the phrasing felt a little awkward. A more guest-friendly way of asking might create a better impression. A couple of other points worth noting: sound insulation around the room doors could be improved, as neighbouring room doors closing could be quite noticeable. In addition, the room door requires a firm push to shut completely; otherwise, an alarm will sound. There were also some mosquitoes around the hotel premises, although the room was thoughtfully equipped with an electronic mosquito repellent. The hotel's location is reasonably convenient, but it is worth noting that it is not quite as close to Qilou Old Street and some of the nearby attractions as I had initially expected. While the area is technically walkable, Haikou's heat and humidity can make the walk feel much longer and less pleasant, especially during the day. In practice, I often found myself opting for Didi (online-hailing app)instead. Not a major drawback, but something to keep in mind if you plan to explore the area primarily on foot Overall, the excellent service, responsive staff, and spectacular panoramic view made for a very enjoyable stay. Despite a few minor quirks, I would happily stay here again on a future visit to Haikou.

This is a four-star hotel, and admittedly, some of the facilities are a bit old. When I arrived in Haikou, it had just rained, and there was a musty smell in the room and corridors, which was a bit off-putting. However, everything else was quite good. What stood out was that the shower water was natural hot spring water, and you could even enjoy the hot springs from 2 PM to 10 PM daily. For a room rate of just over 100 RMB, it's truly excellent value for money. Plus, the hotel is located right in the old town, full of local charm and a lively atmosphere. I'd definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Haikou.

Facilities: The hotel is very new and has all the necessary amenities. There's a washing machine, gym, and restaurant. The environment is excellent, tastefully decorated in a vintage and Nanyang style. The bedding is very comfortable; the mattress is just right, not too soft or too hard. Each bed comes with two types of pillows, so guests who prefer either soft or firm pillows will find one that suits them – that's a huge plus! The 4th-floor restaurant also serves great food, making it possible to spend the entire day at the hotel without needing to go out. Cleanliness: All tables in the room, including those in the bathroom, were very clean. Service: The front desk staff wasn't overly enthusiastic, but they did handle everything I needed them to, so it was fine. The airport transfer driver was nice and quite chatty. Airport pick-up/drop-off service: Having the airport transfer service was truly hassle-free, and the vehicles provided were new and comfortable.

I stayed at Novotel Haikou West Coast for 6d5n. There are a few ways to travel from Haikou Meilan Airport to the hotel. The most convenient option is definitely taking Didi. The ride usually takes around 40–50 minutes depending on traffic, and the total fare is approximately RMB 70+. Another option is taking the railway. You would first need to buy a railway ticket to Haikou Railway Station, which costs around RMB 10 and wait for the departure time. After arriving at Haikou Railway Station, you will have to take Didi to the hotel for around RMB 15. There are also buses available, although I did not personally try this option during my trip. The hotel provides free laundry facilities including washing machines, dryers, detergent, and even disinfectant for laundry use. Everything worked properly and the dryer actually dried the clothes well, which was very convenient for travellers. The room was spacious and comfortable. The pillow and bed were cozy, the air-conditioning worked very well, and the room felt warm and relaxing. Daily housekeeping replenished 2 bottles of mineral water and 3 complimentary beverages (sparkling water, Coke, and milk), which was a nice touch. The staff were also accommodating. They allowed me to extend my checkout by 2 hours, which normal check out timing is at 12pm. (additional late checkout charges at rmb40/hr). I am staying at level 4 (total there are 5 levels). I was lucky enough to get a room on the same floor as the gym and laundry area, which made everything very convenient. In terms of location, I think it depends on the purpose of your stay. If your main plan is visiting attractions in the city area every day, this may not be the most convenient option as travelling usually takes around 30–40 minutes by car and each trip can cost around RMB 30+ – 40+ depending on traffic. However, if you are looking for a relaxing hotel stay near the west coast area, this hotel is actually a very good choice. One thing to note is that there are not many eateries nearby. The nearest convenient shopping mall area is called Yuanda (well known one), where you can find restaurants, supermarkets, and snacks. You can take didi there at Rmb 5 to 10 or you can walk there also, but I dont suggest. The only downside for me was that I occasionally noticed cigarette smoke smell in some common areas, and there was a slight dried seafood/damp smell when I return to my room after a day, which may be related to the coastal location but there is a ventilation in the room . Overall, I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. *Sorry for the photo quality. I only recorded videos of the room during my stay, so these are screenshots taken from the videos.

🚽 Hygiene: Very good and clean! The attention to detail in cleaning was superb. 🏠 Decor: Exactly like the photos. The villa area showed a bit of age, but it didn't affect our stay. 🛏 Facilities: Very well-equipped. 🔔 Service: Absolutely fantastic! 24-hour service, always available. There's also one complimentary pick-up/drop-off within 6km, which is great for going to the beach or dining nearby. 💰 Value for Money: Unbeatable, truly excellent value! I hope to have Manager Xiao Huang (Little Huang) serve us again next time. Farewell, my dear island 🏝! I'll definitely be back to visit this island again! [Strong]

The hotel is located in a scenic area. It has an elegant appearance, a large and convenient parking lot, beautiful scenery in the hotel rooms, and you can hang clothes outside, which is thoughtful and considerate. The Hainan vermicelli for breakfast is delicious. A hotel with great value for money.

Our stay here far exceeded expectations. The environment was spotless, and the mattress was so comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The staff were warm and attentive. Plus, there are plenty of dining options nearby and convenient transportation. It offers great value for money. The whole experience was relaxing and comfortable. Definitely recommend it to anyone traveling!

This hotel was a last-minute booking, and it exceeded all our expectations! The location is super convenient, really close to Qilou Old Street, making it easy to get anywhere. The room was brand new and you could tell a lot of thought went into the design; my whole family loved the aesthetic. The service was excellent; the front desk staff were very friendly, especially SDL, who was incredibly attentive. The chefs and service staff in the restaurant were also very enthusiastic. The breakfast had a great variety and tasted delicious. And the restaurant's location is incredible, with stunning river views. Our room also had a river view, which was beautiful both day and night.

We stayed at the Meilun Hotel for a family trip with our kids in Haikou. The location is a huge plus, making it easy to reach Qilou Old Street by simply hopping in a taxi, where we got to experience the charming Nanyang-style architecture. Our room had a pleasant, clean scent, was spacious and clean, and had excellent soundproofing, so our kids slept soundly. The minibar items were complimentary, and the front desk service was good. The hotel also has a laundry room, which was very convenient for washing clothes during our trip. Parking was easy, making getting around stress-free. It's definitely a reliable choice for families traveling to Haikou.

Choosing this hotel for our Sanya vacation was definitely a great decision! Wutong Jiuli has a lovely Wabi-sabi aesthetic throughout. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a huge floor-to-ceiling window offering stunning sea views – no filters needed for photos here. We booked the Cinema King Room, which was incredibly spacious at 50-60 square meters. The 1.8-meter king-size bed was super comfortable, and the projector quality was excellent, making evenings spent watching shows in the room wonderfully relaxing. The B&B offers free airport pickup, so no need to scramble for a ride upon arrival, and it's pet-friendly, which is fantastic for those traveling with furry companions. It's only a 1.6km walk to Tianya Haijiao, so watching the sunset and then strolling back in the evening was perfect. The cleanliness was top-notch. The 2400+ positive reviews are certainly well-deserved. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next trip to Sanya!
