Jinjiang Inn (Sanya Hexi Road Pedestrian Street Hejing)

How to rate this hotel depends a bit on what you compare it with. I had already spent 2 nights in a different hotel in Sanya which I didn't like that much, so switching to this Jinjiang Inn felt like a relief. Rooms are bright and spacious, there's a (small) window with a decent mosquito net so you can actually keep the window open. Jinjiang is always great at choosing locations in side alleys off the main road, so no noise from outside. As with most Chinese hotels, you can hear some sounds made by people in the room next door, but it wasn't too bad. However, if I compare this Jinjiang Inn to other Jinjiang Inns I have stayed in, I have to say this one looks a bit past its prime. It's clearly an older branch and not recently renovated. In particular, there were lots of stains on the floor, as if people had stubbed out dozens of cigarettes. It's not dirty, but looks a bit depressing. The mattress was also sagging on one side (while firm on the other). No big problem for me, since I was travelling alone but I felt the mattress should have been replaced long ago. Shower curtain gone, plug in bathroom sink also gone. Having said all this, I think a lot of this can be forgiven if you consider the room rates, which especially for Sanya standards are really low. So I think this hotel is actually good value for money. This is probably not the place to go for a romantic getaway, but if you're looking for a cheap no frills place for a short stay, this is definitely a good option. I would consider staying here again, as long as the price is below 200 RMB per night.

Acceptable for 2-3 nights. One roach was in a bathroom. compared to other hotels in Sanya, this is only place where hotel staff aren’t smiling at all

Great place
