4-Star Hotels in Hainan, China

The room was spacious with a separate shower and toilet. Although it's not far from Qilou Old Street, it was a bit inconvenient due to the occasional rain and traveling with a child. Haikou People's Park is right downstairs. After finishing 'laoba cha' (a local tea), we went into the park to stroll around and were surprised to see so many locals exercising and relaxing there; it was really lively.

This hotel is one of the few with hot springs in the city center. It's an older property, which is why it has the hot springs, so some facilities are a bit dated, but it's very well-managed. The air conditioning was on in the room constantly, so there was no musty smell. The bedding was good and clean. The mattress was comfortable, just the right firmness. I have to commend the front desk staff during check-in. They lent me an umbrella even before I had completed my booking, which really touched me with their trust. During check-out, a young lady told me to buy my airport shuttle ticket from a machine (later, an older staff member saw my booking and gave me a shuttle ticket). It seems their training could be improved in this area.

**Raving Review of MOS Hotel Haikou** From the moment I set foot in MOS Hotel Haikou, I knew I was in for a unique experience. The atmosphere is simply enchanting, with a sense of tranquility that envelops you right from the lobby. The clever architectural design showcases bespoke touches that only a true connoisseur of hospitality would appreciate.

The hotel is situated on Hainan, the southernmost tropical island in China, offering a delightful fusion of nature and culture. The fragrant air carries hints of the island’s unique aroma, creating a refreshing ambiance that enhances your stay.

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.

My friends and I stayed for five days, and it exceeded our expectations overall! The cleaning was incredibly thorough, every corner was spotless. The villa's environment was serene, with a stunning mountain view, and the private hot tub was perfect for photos. The three bedrooms and one living room offered ample space, and it was fully equipped with appliances and kitchenware, making it convenient for both travel and daily living. The butler was very responsive, and the service was warm and attentive. It's excellent value for money, highly recommended for groups traveling together!

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.

Upon entering the room, you could see the sea, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, it was raining when I arrived, so the view wasn't as good as I'd hoped. At night, the sound of waves crashing on the beach was very conducive to sleep (I like white noise when I sleep, so if you prefer complete quiet, this might not be for you). Regarding cleanliness, since the entire room was white, there were some yellowish stains or noticeable smudges. However, they weren't too bad if you didn't look too closely. The hotel lobby had a café with a beautiful setting, perfect for photos. The pool was on the basement level next to the restaurant, and you could also access the beach directly from the pool area. The bathtub looked great for photos, but it wasn't very comfortable for bathing as it lacked non-slip features and handrails. There were plenty of local snacks nearby (coconut chicken, BBQ, dim sum, fusion cuisine – all available, though I didn't find much seafood). There were also many shops selling dresses and swimsuits, but very few selling regular clothes. If you plan to visit Yalong Bay or Wuzhizhou Island, I wouldn't recommend staying here, as the journey is quite long and would eat into your sightseeing time. It's fine if you just want to explore the immediate surroundings.

The location is good, very convenient for getting to Qilou Old Street, about a ten-minute walk. It's also easy to hail a taxi right outside the hotel. The hotel itself is clean and bright. When I checked in, an intern assisted me, who wasn't very experienced. As a Trip.com member, I was supposed to get a free room upgrade, but the hotel didn't mention it proactively. The first room I was given had a major issue. I called the front desk the first time, but they didn't seem to take it seriously. I waited for a while in the room and had to call a second time before someone was sent to deal with it. Since my friend was waiting downstairs to go out for dinner, I didn't argue much with the hotel. Later, the hotel called and offered to change my room and upgrade the room type. When I returned to the hotel in the afternoon, I saw that the so-called upgraded room type was actually the same as the initial room, just with a complimentary fruit platter… I'm including a picture of the scenery outside the hotel entrance, but won't post the bad ones. However, the hotel really needs to improve its management.

The room was clean and tidy, but there was an unfamiliar grassy smell, I'm not sure what it was. I waited downstairs to check in, and a staff member from the self-service counter proactively helped me with the check-in process. There's an outlet mall right downstairs, which was super convenient for shopping. You could also try Qingbuliang and coconut chicken if you have time.

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.
