Hostels in Hainan, China

"This hostel has a superb location, just a 10-minute walk from Haida Food Festival and Qilou Old Street. There's also a river next to the old street where you can cycle and enjoy the breeze. The cleanliness is good, and there are indoor and outdoor common areas on the first floor (couldn't find the pictures!). You'll also find many international guests here, and the landlady speaks fluent English! She's very enthusiastic and high-energy; just a quick chat with her will brighten your day! Highly recommended!"

"This was my second stay at Backpacker, and it just so happened to be during their Haikou store's grand opening, which was really lively! The interior design incorporates island and Nanyang (Southeast Asian) styles, making it very unique. The service was good, facilities were complete, and hygiene details were well-maintained, with the bathroom attendant regularly cleaning. The location is excellent, making it convenient for dining and shopping. What surprised me the most was the huge vanity room on the third floor, complete with cotton pads, cotton swabs, and more – full of thoughtful details. Highly recommend a stay here!"

"This was my first time staying at this hostel, and I absolutely loved it! The overall experience was fantastic. The location is unbeatable, right next to a transportation hub, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing, getting around, and finding food. The interior design is simple yet cozy, showing care in every detail. The common areas are clean and elegant, perfect for relaxing and chatting with friends. My room had great natural light and was simply but tastefully furnished. The bedding was soft and clean, ensuring a very comfortable night's sleep. The bathroom facilities were complete and spotless, with hot water available at all times, making for an excellent everyday living experience. The staff were thoughtful and attentive, friendly and approachable, patiently answering all my travel questions. The overall vibe was relaxed and comfortable, and the atmosphere was quiet and pleasant. The other guests were all very friendly. This place offers incredible value for money, making it my top choice for accommodation when traveling. I highly recommend it to all fellow travelers!"

"A highly recommended youth hostel, ideally situated alongside the Century Bridge, it's close to Century Park, Haidian Island's North and South Gate Night Market, Xitian Temple Snack Street, the Qilou Historical Pedestrian Street, Dongpo Old Wharf, Sky Inn, Haikou Bay Evergreen Park, Friendship Sunshine City, and Shangbang Parkview City. Both electric bikes and bicycles take just over 10 to 20 minutes to reach, making it a central hub for food, accommodation, and entertainment. It's also conveniently located near Haikou East Station and Chengxi Station, where you can take a taxi to the airport or the New Haikou Port in just over 10 minutes for a little over 10 yuan. A bus is also available from the nearby Citizen and Tourist Service Center. From the windows, you can enjoy the beautiful ocean view and the romantic afterglow of sunsets and sunrises. My visit to Haikou truly impressed me with the city's rapid transformation: its increasingly sophisticated transportation infrastructure, its vibrant urban life, and its increasingly civilized urban order. Although Haikou lacks the prosperity and development of a major city, it offers a sense of freedom and tranquility that comes with retiring from the countryside, a sense of peace and tranquility for a short stay. This seemingly unassuming small city offers us a warm, peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, allowing those tired of the hustle and bustle of the city to reflect on the meaning of life in this peaceful place, understanding that life is not just about work, but also about living. This city is for passionate, free-spirited people, and is a perfect place for everyone to find their own happy haven. Finally, I hope our Haikou will continue to improve, and I also hope that the youth hostel business will be prosperous and smooth sailing."

"My stay at The Cape was fantastic! The hotel is centrally located with convenient transportation and excellent surrounding amenities, making shopping and dining incredibly easy. The room was clean, tidy, and well-designed, with comfortable and soft bedding. The staff were warm and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. Overall, it felt like great value for money, and I highly recommend it."

"I was wandering around Riyue Bay and accidentally found a very good youth hostel, so I decided to stay there. The price was cheap and it was in Riyue Bay Village. The surrounding environment was very good. It was not noisy at night and was very quiet. There were many activities during the weekdays. You can go to the beach and play together. The boss and volunteers were very good. I made new friends here. We all sang and drank together by the fire. It was so nice."

"An absolutely wonderful and unforgettable stay. The six-bed room is very spacious, clean, and comfortable, with an en-suite shower. Everything is designed to make getting around easy: electric scooters are available at a very reasonable price, and an electric scooter is even provided free of charge for short trips, which is a real bonus. The free transfers between the train station and the hostel (both ways) are a real plus and make arrival and departure very simple. But what truly sets this place apart is the manager: exceptionally kind, always available, attentive, and ready to help in any situation, even generously offering food. If I ever return to Hainan, this will be the only place I stay without hesitation. The location is also ideal for exploring the island: Sanya and Haikou are less than an hour away by train. A huge thank you to the manager for his warm welcome and remarkable hospitality."

"The boss is very nice, very enthusiastic, and the service is very attentive. The room is very clean and the overall stay is very comfortable. If you come to Hainan again next time, you should stay there again. It is worth recommending (^_^) v"

"A four-person girls' room. There are no lockable closets, so someone moved my suitcase right to the exit. The windows aren't sealed, and there's a busy road nearby. There are no dark curtains, so car headlights illuminate the room and wake you up, as does the noise. Some girls come in at night and turn on the lights, making noise while delivering things until you tell them to be quiet. The bathroom is combined with a shower, which leaves the floor constantly wet and hairy. The girls don't clean up after themselves; it's filthy. I regret staying longer than one night."

"Last year, I stayed at the back door alone. This week, the school was on holiday, so I brought two friends to stay at the back door again. Ayisha even came to the high-speed rail station to pick us up🥹 The little guitar teacher who patiently drew henna for us and sang beautifully🦋 The career-oriented big woman Qingjie, a charming woman who said she was an i person but was very enthusiastic and cheerful🕳️ The sweet and cute Guangdong sister who took photos for me when we went out to sea. The fat guy from Northeast China who used a drone to record our trip to the sea (I don’t know what his name is, so I call him the fat guy from Northeast China, private Marseille😅) and Tom, the cute and clingy cat at the youth hostel! Many, many lovely friends, everyone is very nice, very nice We went out together, had dinner, danced, went to Meimen to drink coffee, surfed, went out to sea, snorkeled, and took a lot of photos hahahahahaha Many, many memories, crazy laughter, drunkenness, and the feeling of loss on the plane at this moment I think I might come back to stay at the back door once a year? If I come again next year, I will bring my other friends with me so that they can also experience the happy and unforgettable group activities. Although the souvenirs left by the island this time are tanned skin, bruised and swollen calves from surfing, injured fingers, and darker dark circles under my eyes, hahahahahahaha, but I am really happy! 👋🏻Goodbye, see you next year"
