Sanya IPK Backpackers Hostel recensioner

CAN I RATE THE SERVICE 100? The staff is absolutely superb, and the location is great! I will definitely stay here again if I come back to Sanya. - Cleanliness: It’s not bad, but it didn’t quite meet my personal cleanliness benchmark, so I’d rate it 4.5/5. - Location: The location is excellent. There are so many restaurants nearby, including a bakery and a supermarket. It’s only a 6-minute walk to the beach 😎, a 40-minute walk to Jiefeng Road (Jiefeng Pediatrician Street), and a 35-minute relaxing walk to the famous Luhuitou Scenic Area. Do I walk too much? LOL. The hostel is also close to many bus stops, making it super convenient to get around. 5/5 - Service: The front desk service was unforgettable. Even though they only operate until midnight (-1 for that), the daytime staff is sooooooo nice! I don’t speak Chinese, but the staff member spoke pretty good English and put in so much effort to help me communicate 😭😭. He even recommended a great restaurant! So... 99/5? - Facilities: There’s a cozy café space outside where we could work at night. They provide a washing machine, dryer, and hanging space, which is cool (even though I didn’t use them). They also offer a shared refrigerator, shampoo, shower gel, and a hairdryer—BUT no towel (you can rent one for ¥10, by the way). 4/5 Verdict: Definitely one of my "no-regret" decisions. I will come back again. **P.S.** If you want to try some traditional food, go for coconut chicken (the portion is huge, so you should go with friends) or 抱罗粉 (Boulou Powder? Not sure what it’s called in English, LOL).

It is right in the middle of everything where supermarkets, restaurants and Russians are around! The cleanliness of my private room is not enough, though - many flies flying around with windows shut! The service of the staff is friendly - they organize great water activities for guests almost daily！ Overall, it is a good hostel and I will recommend it to my friends!

Best hostel in Sanya, it’s my second time here. Highly recommended

I found the dorm room to be very cramped. I was on a top bunk and there was no space to get dressed or undressed. Staff were okay, but the hostel was overly busy. Otherwise everything else was fine, but inwouldnt go back

It was an overall nice experience staying at the hostel for 3 nights. I had my own room, and it was not bad. The location is good, easy to go to the beach and access to many restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful, able to build a nice atmosphere in the hostel. Things to improve: Wish there was a soap/hand sanitizer provided in the room. And the blinds are not able to block the light, it’s very bright when the sun rises.

As a hostel. You won’t get better then this in the same area dadonghai

Really lovely and great location! There are some creepy older men who hang out by the hostel so beware!

Was expecting something extraordinary to meet people, but it is just a good place where to sleep

Clean, convenient location, has a nice coffeeshop/common area downstairs, also there's some space to work on the laptop. Recommend for single travellers or group of friends.

Very comfortable place

The best hostel near the beach!

My biggest issue with this hotel is that the bar under it is very noisy at night making it hard to sleep. The people would be loud as they were drunk until 2am. It is close to a street that has nice restaurants and the beach is also within walking distance. The hotel is really nicely located and the room was fantastic. I would stay again if the noise was better

This was the first hostel that I booked and found what they had on the website was the same physically. The service was good, and the receptionist in charge of the room allocation was helpful enough at all times. The facility was kept clean but what I found ridiculous was if you wanted to use the charger, you had to pay for it to have access. Am not sure about the food if they even had any because during my time there I was always eating out at the places I visited. I liked the fact that it was a few minutes walk to the beach.

One of the best hostels I've stayed at anywhere, hands down. Staff is super friendly, the coffee shop outside is a lovely place to work, the location is superb, and the bunks are comfortable. The bathrooms are really great for communal bathrooms. Will stay here again next time I'm in Sanya.
