O.live Social Hotel (Haikou East Railway Station)

Great hotel. Very convenient. They picked us up from the airport and dropped us off right at the front door. The staff was very nice. They offered to bring us milk toast for breakfast. The sheets were nice and the bed was comfortable. The only drawback was the street below was noisy at times. A couple car alarms went off in the night. But overall a very nice stay.

The room layout isn't the best, but the size is quite decent. Though the room facilities are a little aged, the friendly service staff and the free services they provide make the stay really welcomed. I had a free pickup from the airport and free breakfast. Stayed there for 5 days and they also helped to wash my clothes plus gave me a free ride to the airport when I left.

We had an absolutely amazing time .The room was spotless, with great décor and crisp bed sheets. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with a huge variety of options , staff was helpful.

Very near to Haikoudong station. Staff are friendly, service is good, incl airport transfer.

I stayed at this hotel for three nights before heading to Sanya. I chose it because they offered free airport pickup and it’s only a 10-minute walk from Haikou East Rail Station (Haikoudong / 海口东). I wanted to be closer to the city rather than staying in the Meilan area near the airport. As a non-Chinese speaker, I relied mainly on Didi taxis to get around when visiting other parts of the city. Didi rides are inexpensive and convenient (Didi is integrated into my Alipay app). The hotel it’s located off a busy avenue with heavy traffic. There’s a small snack shop right next to the hotel. To the left, in the direction of the train station, there are a few small street food stalls, and to the right, a bit further away, there’s a wider selection of fast food shops. I didn’t explore if there were any proper restaurants in the area. The hotel has a coffee shop but I didn’t use. The airport pickup service was smooth and hassle-free. The hotel staff were very helpful when I needed assistance with a few things. Since I don’t speak Chinese, I used a translation tool. I found the bed very comfortable—though I prefer firm beds, so it suited me perfectly. There was also a choice of pillows with different thicknesses. As a light sleeper, I was pleasantly surprised by how well I slept, as there wasn’t much noise to disturb me. Overall, my stay was pleasant, but I did notice that the cleanliness could be improved. For example, there was a significant amount of dust under the bed. That said the common areas of the hotel seemed well- maintained.

The location is a back alley but it was only a few minutes walk from the railway station. They did our laundry and drove us to the airport as part of the amenities, that's definitely a plus. Be careful with the shower, the door didn't seal in our room and the water leaks out into the room if you use the sprayer. We just used the rain shower instead.
