Staying right in the heart of Sanya made everything super convenient—walking distance to local spots and easy access to public transit.

Breakfast was a highlight: they actually cooked noodles fresh upon request, which added a nice personal touch. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, with a good bed and clean design. That said, like some other guests mentioned, there’s a faint musty odor in the room—nothing overwhelming, but noticeable if you’re sensitive to smells. A quick ventilation check or deeper cleaning might help. Overall, it's a solid choice, especially for travelers who value location and space. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to friends.
