4-Starhotels 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. I found myself drawn to the Garden Restaurant, where I could unwind with a cup of coffee amidst lush greenery, soaking in the inspiration of my surroundings. 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. The Garden Restaurant is a culinary highlight, serving exquisite Chinese dishes that tantalize the taste buds, complemented by a delightful morning breakfast that fuels your adventures.

It’s great for my film crew and talent to experience everything that a boutique hotel can offer.

I was particularly impressed by the bespoke details throughout the hotel, which add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall experience. The exceptional service provided by the hotel manager and staff made all the difference. They attended to my VIP requests with remarkable care and attention to detail, ensuring that my needs were met with utmost precision. The hotel manager went above and beyond with personalized off-property recommendations, guiding me to the best local gems—from a vibrant jazz bar to a charming walking street and an exquisite French restaurant. Every recommendation was a real treat, showcasing true VVIP bespoke butler-style service that made my trip even more special. I have traveled extensively across Asia, and I can confidently say that MOS Hotel Haikou holds a unique charm that is hard to find elsewhere.

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 hotel looks almost identical to its promotional pictures, no unpleasant surprises here! It's close to the airport, and once you navigate to the hotel name, staff will pick you up at the intersection with a sightseeing cart, which is very convenient. Definitely book a sea-view room in advance; it's a bit pricier but absolutely worth it – the ocean is right outside your open glass sliding doors, truly facing the sea. The room has full smart amenities, making for a very comfortable stay. There's a pool and hammocks on the basement level, with stairs leading directly to the beach, perfect for photos. They also offer 3 complimentary photo sessions with a good photographer; I recommend taking pictures on the 6th-floor terrace. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations, and I'll definitely be back!

Facilities: The hotel itself is quite new, but it's located in an older building with a rather abstract, flame-red exterior. Parking isn't very convenient, and the charging stations are slow chargers. The location is decent; you can explore the Qilou Old Street and enjoy a beautiful sunset in the evening. Service: It was okay, just a little slow with check-in. Breakfast was pretty good and quite substantial.

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.

Came to Haikou for a trip and found this hotel. The location is absolutely superb! It's within easy reach of Qilou Old Street, Yun Dong Library, Riyue Plaza Duty-Free Store, and Haikou Park. Plus, there's a large supermarket right opposite the hotel, making sightseeing and shopping incredibly convenient. The room was clean and tidy, the AC cooled down very quickly, and the environment was pleasant. The hotel even has robots that deliver items, which is really convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. My experience in Haikou this time was excellent, definitely recommended!
