Hostels in Hainan, China

"TA Good Hostel for a Longer Stay in Haikou 🇨🇳 I stayed at Banana International Youth Hostel in Haikou for one night. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the hostel itself is a good option if you’re planning to stay for a longer period. Unfortunately, I only had one night there, so I didn’t have enough time to fully enjoy what the hostel has to offer. The main downside for a short stay is the location. If you’re only visiting Haikou for one or two nights and want to quickly explore the main attractions, it may not be the most convenient base. That said, for a longer stay, especially if you prefer a more relaxed experience and don’t mind traveling around, I think it could be a good choice. 👍 #Haikou #HaikouTravel #Hainan #ChinaTravel #YouthHostel #HostelLife #TravelChina #ChinaTrip #TravelTips #Tripcom"

"My first time in Haikou, and I chose Backpacker's Ten Years (Qilou Old Street branch) – it totally exceeded my expectations. It's located on the first floor of the Yedao Comprehensive Building on Longkun North Road, really close to Evergreen Park, Qilou Old Street, and Century Bridge. Taxis to anywhere aren't expensive, and there's a bus stop right outside, making it super convenient for solo travelers. As soon as I walked in, the common area impressed me – a mix of Nanyang vintage style with a touch of island vibe. The lobby is spacious and bright, with a pool table, book bar, and coffee corner. It was so relaxing to sit there at night, enjoy the AC, and chat. It's easy to meet cyclists on island tours and backpackers from all over. The dorm area requires a key card for entry and is separated by gender. The 8-bed dorms are spacious, and the lockers are big. The brand-name bedding and fresh air system, combined with the powerful air conditioning, made for a great sleep in Hainan's weather. The bathrooms are separate for men and women, with wet and dry areas, no strange odors, and even washing machines and dryers. The women's area has a vanity mirror and small items – the attention to detail is excellent. But the biggest plus was the people. The front desk staff were lovely; check-in and check-out were fast, and they were ready to help with directions, food recommendations, and luggage storage, just like having a local friend to rely on. The price is friendly for students and budget travelers. With clean beds, a sense of security, and a great social atmosphere, the value for money is fantastic – I'd recommend it without hesitation! I'm definitely planning to check out their other branches in different cities!"

"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 random youth hostel in Wanning! The atmosphere is very good, there are many friends who can sing for free with microphones at night, I met a lot of friends here, and they will organize werewolf killing at night, so there are 20 or 30 stray cats in his house, you can pet the cats at will, and there is also a big dog named Maomao. The dormitory environment is also warm, and you can also sign up for paddle board surfing here"

"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."

"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."

"I think the young lady has a good attitude, the bed is new and comfortable, and the questions raised are dealt with in a timely manner. I hope they will do better and better. If you want to choose a hostel, this is the right choice! ! !"

"I stayed here for 5 days in the off season. Booked a single room, price was decent. The bed was comfortable, it had a desk for me to work during the day. There's a gym on the ground level that honestly has all the equipment I needed, a rare thing in these parts. The owner is from dongbei and was super friendly, he treated us to baijiu and frozen pears (dongbei). This was a great spot to chill out for a while and relax. I should probably mention that my Mandarin is pretty good. I met another traveller that could speak English but other than that you might need to whip out the ol goog translate. I needed to move on otherwise I would've stayed here longer, great place!"

"I chose Nextdoor Back Gate Hostel during my trip to Riyue Bay, and I was absolutely blown away by the experience! I really want to recommend this gem of a hostel to everyone! The location is amazing—just a few minutes' walk from Riyue Bay Beach, and super close to the sports facilities for rainforest tracing and coconut grove paddleboarding. You can immerse yourself in the joy of the sea right outside your door, and returning home after a day of fun is effortless. It's incredibly friendly to anyone who loves exploring, eating, and having fun. After checking in, I discovered the hostel's attention to detail. My dormitory room was spacious and bright, without the cramped feeling of typical hostels. The bedding was clean and soft, making for a very comfortable sleep. The amenities in the common areas were a pleasant surprise; the home theater was a great place to chat with new friends, and the courtyard was perfect for relaxing and chatting. What impressed me most were the people. The owner, AYiSha, was incredibly warm and friendly, and the other guests were all very compatible. It was easy and comfortable to be around strangers, and we occasionally went surfing or to the beach night market together. I gained many fun companions on my trip. Whether you're asking about off-the-beaten-path local activities or looking for a reliable surfing instructor, the staff are incredibly patient and helpful, offering advice like friends, making you feel completely at ease. The value for money is unbeatable. For an affordable price, you get fantastic accommodation and attentive service. Every day during my stay in Riyue Bay was incredibly pleasant. This trip was made even better by Nextdoor Back Gate Hostel. I'll definitely choose this hostel again next time I'm in Riyue Bay. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Riyue Bay!"

"I stayed in a six-person female dorm. The advantages were: safety, separate male and female bathrooms, and a clean, bright environment. I've stayed at other youth hostels in the same neighborhood, and this one was one of the most hygienic. Everyone was strangers, but everyone was very open and conversational, making it a good place for couples. The disadvantages were: the room wasn't very big, so it was a bit cramped. The washing machine was inside the dorm, so the housekeeper had to go in to do laundry at noon or in the evening. Also, everyone had different schedules, and with so many people in the room, there were people chatting until 1 or 2 a.m., and people coming in and out to shower or use the bathroom, making it hard to sleep. It's not suitable for couples. If you're a solo female traveler, this is a good place to stay. It's affordable, safe, and clean, and the price is acceptable."
