4-Star Hotels in Hainan, China

Five-star review! Our family of four (two adults, two children) stayed at this Atour hotel overnight in Haikou while catching a flight. We arrived close to 11 or 12 at night, and check-in was smooth the entire way through. The room was exceptionally clean, even the corners were spotless. The soundproofing exceeded our expectations; the environment was quiet and peaceful. After a long day of travel, we finally got a good, solid night's sleep. We booked a twin room, and the two 1.2-meter beds could be combined to form an extra-large 2.4-meter bed, which was plenty spacious for two kids. The room also had a small sofa that could be used for an extra person to sleep on, making it perfect for family travel. We were especially impressed by the high-quality toiletries; the exclusive shampoo and conditioner had a mild, sophisticated scent. Every detail was meticulously taken care of. Overall, our stay was incredibly satisfying. This is our top choice for an overnight layover, and we'll definitely choose this place again next time we're in 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.

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.

The environment is really good, and the location is convenient, very close to the beach. There are even activities by the sea at night. The hotel also has a restaurant. It's all white.

We stayed one night at the Hampton by Hilton Haikou Qilou Old Street for a layover and the experience exceeded our expectations. The most practical amenity was the self-service laundry room – three washing machines and three dryers running simultaneously. For us, traveling with a child and needing frequent clothes changes, it was a lifesaver. The drying efficiency was high; we could wear dry clothes within half an hour. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, proactively recommending nearby attractions and food streets. Check-in was swift, and they thoughtfully provided a children's toiletries kit. The breakfast had a rich variety, with both Chinese and Western hot dishes, freshly cooked noodles, and a selection of breads and pastries, satisfying both seniors and kids. Parking was very convenient for those driving, and with multiple charging stations, there was no stress about charging electric vehicles. Overall, this hotel has new facilities and practical services, without any unnecessary frills. Every detail is designed with the traveler in mind, making it very suitable for business trips or family layovers. We will choose to stay here again next time we visit Haikou. Additionally, the hotel is not far from Hainan University, adding a touch of cultural charm.

I was initially worried after seeing so many negative reviews, but it turns out my concerns were completely unfounded! I highly recommend staying here! Service: They upgraded my room upon check-in, and I could watch planes take off right from my window – a truly unique experience. As for airplane noise, I didn't notice any at all. Dining is also very convenient; you can directly access the mini-outlet mall through the hotel's private passage. We ate very well for around 50 per person. Getting to the airport is also a breeze. We were going to T2, and the hotel shuttle took us directly there in just 5 minutes from downstairs. The gym wasn't crowded, and the facilities looked quite new. There seems to be a laundry room on every floor, which is very convenient.

We took our kids on a summer road trip along the eastern coast of Hainan. Besides the beautiful beaches, we also wanted them to learn about local culture and history, so our first stop was Haikou. We chose Meilun based on our trust in Huazhu's comfortable hotel chain. We did some research and read reviews beforehand, and after checking in, we felt we made the right choice. Firstly, the location is excellent; we just had to walk through a park to reach the Old Qilou Street, where we enjoyed authentic 'Qingbuliang' that very evening. Secondly, the hygiene met our expectations. Although the building is a bit old, the cleanliness was still well above standard. I didn't take any photos of the hotel, so I've used pictures from near the Old Street instead.
