Landing late at Haikou Airport and need a comfy spot for the night? Yuhuayuan Design Hotel offers seamless airport pickup and a cozy stay, perfect before your onward journey to Sanya!

Hey there, this is Moarang!
This time, I embarked on a trip to Sanya,
located on China's beautiful Hainan Island.
Since there aren't any direct flights from Incheon to Sanya,
I flew into Haikou Airport.
My plan was to then take a train to Sanya,
but my arrival at Haikou Airport was past midnight,
and trains don't operate at that hour.
So, I decided to stay overnight near the airport
and then caught the train to Sanya the next morning.

However, by the time I cleared immigration and exited the airport,
it would easily be 1 AM...
So I really wanted a hotel as close to the airport as possible.
The place I ended up booking and staying at was
'Yuhuayuan Design Hotel'.
Here's my review of my one-night stay there,
coming right up!
Here's the hotel I booked that offers a pickup service:

📍 Haikou Meilan International Airport
Meilan District, Haikou City, Hainan Province, China WFQ6+CV6 Postal Code: 571126
📍 Yuhuayuan Design Hotel
No.188, 海榆大道美兰区海口市海南省 China 571127
The Yuhuayuan Design Hotel where I stayed
is located less than a 10-minute drive
from the airport.
Since my train was at 9:50 AM the next morning,
I needed a place just to sleep, as close as possible,
and then head straight to the train station the next day.
For someone with my itinerary,
this hotel was absolutely perfect.
Free Airport Pickup & Drop-off

The biggest reason I chose this hotel
was its 24-hour free airport pickup and drop-off service.
This service, however, came with a bit of a challenge,
so let me share the hard-earned tip I discovered!
I could have just called a taxi upon arrival at the airport,
but why wouldn't I take advantage of a free service?
Plus, I felt that a hotel pickup service
would be a safer option.
So, I thought, 'Oh! This is great!' and booked it.
As my travel date approached,
I suddenly realized, 'Uh oh, how do I contact them if I arrive in the middle of the night?'
I don't speak much Chinese...
So I tried to send an email,
but their contact info only listed a phone number...
(I tried calling, but they didn't speak English ^^;)
So, I contacted Trip.com's customer service
and explained that I needed to book the airport shuttle,
but since I don't speak much Chinese, I wanted to contact the hotel via WeChat or email.
They told me they would contact the hotel and find out.
But more than a day passed,
and I didn't hear back?!
Feeling anxious, I contacted them again,
but only received the reply to wait a little longer...
So, after waiting another day with no contact,
I called customer service yet again,
and finally managed to get the WeChat ID.
Phew!
WeChat ID: yhy18976237082
I hope this helps you book easily!


Out of an abundance of caution, I messaged the hotel in advance on WeChat


I contacted them after arriving at the airport.

They replied quickly, even in the early morning,
so I was able to take the shuttle bus smoothly to the hotel!!
WeChat even has a real-time translation feature,
so it wasn't difficult to communicate.
If you look at the chat screenshot,
I replied in Korean,
and received replies in Chinese,
so we chatted using translation lol.

I waited exactly where the hotel told me to,
and the car arrived quickly.
But the driver shouted, "Hangworeon~~ Hangworeon!!"
He yelled it so loudly
that everyone stared, and it was a bit embarrassing.. haha.

Check-in was possible even in the early morning.
Thanks to the pick-up service, I arrived perfectly.
When I booked, I thought the pick-up/drop-off service was free only once,
but at check-in, they asked if I needed a ride to the airport tomorrow!
I had to go to Meilan Train Station, which is at the airport,
so when I told them I needed to be at the station by 9 AM,

they showed me this translated message haha.
They are so kind!!

There's one car an hour, so the timing was a bit tricky,
but I decided to take the 8:25 AM one and checked in.

I was so out of it at night
that I didn't think to take pictures of the lobby.

In the morning, while waiting for the shuttle, I managed to snap a few shots of the lobby.





The lobby felt like a typical business hotel, you know?
It was really hot, but they didn't have the air conditioning on haha.
Stepping Inside Our Room

The room was really spacious and great.
Not even a hint of cigarette smell.




The bathroom was also spacious.

Towels and disposable face towels were also provided.

The vanity was located outside the bathroom.

Amenities included a toothbrush, hair cap,
and cotton swabs, to name a few.

Two bottles of water were provided.


I was absolutely exhausted that day,
so as soon as I got in, I showered and crashed!


The next morning, I woke up and drew back the curtains,
and this was the view that greeted me! Haha.

My Takeaway

The next day, I checked out right on time for my departure shuttle
and took the same car that had picked me up to the train station.

For your reference, Meilan Train Station is
located in Terminal 1 of Haikou Meilan International Airport,
so they dropped me off right there.
Thanks to this, from the moment I arrived in China until then,
I didn't spend a single cent on transportation.
