Harbin Central Avenue/Saint Sophia Cathedral/The Memorial Tower of Fig Harbin|3.67km from city center
Facilities: An older luxury hotel, but generally well-maintained. The bathroom is a bit small and cramped.
Cleanliness: Decent.
Environment: Excellent location right by the Songhua River with expansive views, including the Ice and Snow World. A subway station is a convenient 3-minute walk away.
Service: A bit inconsistent.
(1) While checking in at the lobby, the staff didn't manage the queue well, leading to my check-in being forcibly interrupted and interjected by a stranger.
(2) I checked in around 7 PM that evening, dropped my luggage in the room, and went out for dinner. I returned to the room at 10 PM. Upon entering, I immediately noticed the room was cold, despite the air conditioning being set to the highest temperature (35°C) and maximum fan speed. Hotel maintenance was dispatched. The engineer checked the vent and claimed the temperature was normal, stating the room was cold because a window hadn't been closed tightly (leaving a small gap). I pointed out that in other hotels in Harbin with similar central heating, the rooms remained warm even with an open window, suggesting it wasn't due to a window not being fully closed. The engineer still insisted it was the window and left after locking it. However, the room's heating clearly had an issue, with the indoor temperature only reaching 18-19°C. This resulted in me having to switch rooms close to 11 PM, with all my belongings already unpacked.
(3) Regarding situation (2), the duty manager and staff who assisted with the room change that night were all very friendly and helpful. However, the hotel did not proactively offer any compensation for the trouble caused. Subsequently, upon my request, I was given a cup of coffee. As the party at fault, the hotel's response to the inconvenience and trouble caused to the customer seemed to lack sincerity.FromCAD 168

The location is absolutely perfect; there's a Metro Line 2 right outside the door, making it super convenient to get to attractions like Central Street and the Ice and Snow World. The facilities are comprehensive, and the cleanliness is definitely up to par. The bedding was soft, ensuring a great night's sleep. The front desk staff were very welcoming; their floral vests had a festive Northeastern charm. They even proactively helped me arrange a courier service for my luggage.

Spent New Year's Eve at the JW Marriott Hotel Harbin! The hotel's location is truly excellent, just a 5-10 minute drive from the Ice and Snow World, Polar Park, and Siberian Tiger Park. All the amenities provided are of very high quality. Plus, when I checked in, the front desk attendant gave me a room on a high floor with a fantastic view – I could see the Ice and Snow World in the distance, and the Ferris wheel at night, which was so romantic! This made my entire four-day stay incredibly enjoyable. The breakfast selection was very rich, with many local specialties. The housekeeping staff were incredibly responsive and accommodating to all requests. A special thanks also to the patient and enthusiastic pandemic prevention staff member.

I think everyone can relate to this: when you're happy with your accommodation, you naturally have a better time exploring. Their butler service was incredibly attentive, showing genuine care both before and after check-in. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the room was kept very clean.

The hotel's location is superb! Turn right, and you're on Central Street; turn left, and you're at the Red Brick Morning Market. The free parking was just enough for my car. Honestly, those two points alone make everything else negligible, haha. The hotel has a classic style, but the room lighting was too dim, and the bed was a bit hard. If you don't like the breakfast, you can always grab something at the morning market. The afternoon tea seemed to be just a few drinks, which I didn't try.FromCAD 56

Excellent location. Harbin Railway Station is a convenient 10-minute walk via Jingxiao Street, and St. Iver Church and the Orphanage are right next door. Subway Line 2 is just a 5-minute walk away. Central Street and Saint Sophia Cathedral are a pleasant 20-minute-plus stroll, perfect for an after-dinner walk. Inside, the rain shower offered excellent water pressure, the pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the TV even had a sleep timer. For an even more perfect stay, I'd suggest a hairdryer that doesn't require constant button-holding and the removal of the deposit requirement.FromCAD 122

Harbin Central Avenue/Saint Sophia Cathedral/The Memorial Tower of Fig Harbin|2.82km from city center
It's worth the roughly 200 yuan price tag, considering its proximity to Central Street. However, this hotel's only real selling point is its four-star rating. First off, the soundproofing is terrible, not just mediocre, but truly bad. You can hear every flush of the toilet from the room above, which made it hard to sleep at night! Even worse, the sound of the door opening and closing across the hall was incredibly loud!FromCAD 62

Harbin Central Avenue/Saint Sophia Cathedral/The Memorial Tower of Fig Harbin|2.14km from city center
Staying at the Mercure Harbin Central Street Sophia during my trip to Harbin was absolutely the right choice! I'm extremely satisfied!
🌟 Convenient Location:
Just two blocks ahead is Central Street, leading directly to the Madieer Ice Cream Shop and the popular Russian restaurant Tados, about a 5-minute walk.
One block behind is St. Sophia Cathedral and Daoli Vegetable Market, perfect for both dining and sightseeing, also a 5-8 minute walk.
If you want to visit the Red Brick Morning Market, it's about a 12-minute walk. In the morning, you can also pass through Central Street before the crowds, which offers a unique charm.
Harbin weather can be quite cold, so being able to easily return to the hotel to rest and recharge when tired is incredibly important, and this hotel's location is perfect for that!
🌟 Hotel Service:
The service was incredibly thoughtful and attentive! The front desk staff were all very enthusiastic, generous with complimentary souvenirs, and went out of their way to meet our needs, always considering things from a traveler's perspective. The breakfast was rich and varied, with fresh food and freshly squeezed juices – you can really eat your fill and eat well! The housekeeping aunties were also warm and polite. I ordered water for the room, expecting a wait, but it arrived in less than a minute! The hotel has robots that can deliver takeout to your room, so you can enjoy popular hot dishes without leaving. The room was perfectly equipped with a humidifier, air purifier, and earplugs – attention to detail was exceptional!

Harbin Central Avenue/Saint Sophia Cathedral/The Memorial Tower of Fig Harbin|3km from city center
The hotel is tucked away on Tongjiang Street, just behind Central Avenue, about an 8-10 minute walk away. The location is excellent, with St. Sophia Church, Stalin Park, the Songhua River, and Parkson Shopping Center all nearby! It's an absolutely fantastic spot. There are also plenty of supermarkets and restaurants around. I highly recommend the 'Tie Guo Dun' (iron pot stew) next door – specifically the 'xiaoguo hubing' (small pot stew with pancakes) – which was a recommendation from the hotel's front desk staff. For a 'Southern potato' like me, the flavor might be a little strong, but it's really good! The chicken feet were so tender they melted in your mouth.
From the lobby to the rooms, there's a faint floral scent. For a family trip, the room size is perfectly adequate for a family of three. Details like toothbrushes and shampoo are all provided, and if you need anything, just call the front desk and they'll bring it right away – the service is superb! The rooms are never cold; the temperature is just right for sleeping at night! It was my first time experiencing the heating system here in Northeast China, and it was very comfortable!
For breakfast, we had the hotel's in-house breakfast, which is Russian cuisine on the first floor. We chose the fried noodles, and the noodles had a perfect texture. Everyone should give it a try! The hotel staff described it as 'New Chinese Russian cuisine'! It was my first time trying it and it was delicious!! Arriving in Harbin, I immediately felt the snow falling! Very lucky!

The warmth of Harbin truly embraced us right from our first stop!

They even put our IDs in adorable cardholders. After a day out, we returned to find welcome fruits and a special bowl of *youtiao mian* (fried dough twist noodles). My partner, a Northeasterner who often lives away from home, was incredibly excited, saying it had been ages since he'd had it – he was truly satisfied. The location is also fantastic, within walking distance of Central Street and Hongzhuan Street Morning Market. On our first day, the snowman outside the hotel lost an eye, but by the next day, it had been fixed! When we checked out, they even gave us some local dried blueberries.

Yabuli Water Park Shangzhi|59.63km from city center
After getting off the high-speed train at Yabuli West Station, transportation options are very flexible – the public bus is a budget-friendly 5 RMB per person, or a taxi for a fixed 50 RMB is hassle-free, making it easy to reach the hotel.
My first impression upon arrival was excellent: the front desk staff were polite, the hotel lobby was grand, and the guest rooms were spotlessly clean, making for a very comfortable stay. The housekeeping staff would greet us with a 'good morning' and even brought a small fruit platter, showing thoughtful attention to detail.
The dining experience was a constant surprise! Breakfast and lunch are both 68 RMB per person, usually included with most rooms, and you just pay extra for additional guests. The food selection was very rich; there were 10 hot dishes alone, seven or eight cold dishes, plus salads and soup, offering great value for money. I particularly want to praise the dishes: the sauce for the 'Da Lu Mian' (noodles with thick sauce) was incredibly fragrant, and the wild vegetables were very distinctive – the chef's skills are top-notch. What moved us most was our last meal; we wanted to try a 'tie guo dun' (iron pot stew) with a freshly slaughtered live chicken, and the hotel thoughtfully accommodated us. They can arrange whatever you want to eat, which is amazing!
The service in the bathing and hot spring areas, to say it's 'meticulous' is no exaggeration! You just use your room card to exchange hand towels based on the number of people to enter. The staff in the bathing area were exceptionally proactive: they would patrol back and forth, and if they saw an empty hook near a locker, they would proactively bring a towel to hang there (there were also thoughtful hooks installed on the wall). When we were changing, if they saw us with phones or personal items, they would immediately ask if we needed help with a bag for our phone, a towel, or clean clothes. Every time we entered or exited the bathing area, they would proactively offer a towel, and communication was always very timely.
The service in the hot spring area was even better! As soon as I got out of the hot spring pool, seeing my towel was wet, a staff member immediately handed me a dry one; tea was refilled instantly when it ran out. When we went to the wave pool area, they would prepare towels in advance and remind us to quickly wrap up as it would be cold after getting out of the water.
Not only that, but the service in the sweat steam area was equally heartwarming! Whenever we passed by the sweat steam area, staff would proactively come forward to ask if we needed anything, such as 'Is there anything I can help you with?' or 'Would you like to find a place to rest?' They actively paid attention to guests' movements throughout, never making anyone feel neglected. The level of detail was consistent with other areas.
We were incredibly well-looked after throughout our stay, whether in the bathing, hot spring, or sweat steam areas. The warmth was in every detail, and the experience was truly exceptional!

I also appreciated the pleasant aroma diffusing throughout the hotel. After checking in, my room was very nice, and they even have a gym and a laundry room available. My overall experience here was fantastic, far exceeding my expectations. What's more, it offers the best value for money in the area. I am extremely satisfied.FromCAD 48

Jiangbei University Town/Harbinbei Railway Station Harbin|15.83km from city center
Five-star review! The hygiene was excellent, and the environment was great. It's super convenient for getting around, very close to the subway. Our check-in experience was fantastic. My friend and I came for a trip and definitely didn't pick the wrong hotel. The bed was really soft, and the room was spacious and bright. There's even an amusement park within the resort, so if you get tired of staying in the hotel, you can go wander around – it's all very interesting. The entire park has a European castle architectural style, which is beautiful and perfect for photos. Plus, all the staff were wonderful, with very friendly service. There's also a shuttle bus within the park, making it easy to get around. The breakfast was incredibly rich and awesome! We even happened to catch a newly opened venue within the park and went to check it out – it was so dreamy and huge, you could even do cosplay! It was amazing. No matter where you went, the staff were always super nice. 👍FromCAD 104
