You get what you pay for. While it's pricey, the cost is justified. The lobby immediately gives off a luxurious, palatial vibe, and they even shared some of the building's history with my child. Our luggage was brought to the room for us, and the staff meticulously explained all the room's amenities. The hotel has a front and back building. We booked a king room in the front building, and it truly felt opulent, with a very spacious and comfortable bathroom.

Breakfast is a massive buffet with plenty of choice. And if you book the Horizon Club, you get free drinks and food all day long. Absolutely worth it.

The service at this five-star hotel is quite good. First, I'd like to commend the uncle at the entrance – he truly deserves praise. Every time, he actively helped us open the car door and handle our luggage, being very enthusiastic. I personally feel that the staff at the entrance create our first impression of a hotel, and this seemingly entry-level position is actually very important. Thumbs up to the uncle!
We arrived at the hotel around 11 PM on a late flight, and the front desk staff were also very welcoming. With smiles on their faces, they checked us in and even gave the child a small handmade gift. It wasn't expensive, but it made for a really nice experience.
Now, for my personal dissatisfactions. We paid an extra 50 yuan for a room with a view of the Ice and Snow World. While they did ask if we were willing to pay extra for the room, and I accepted, I still feel that for a five-star hotel, this practice is a bit ungraceful. The room itself was standard. A five-star hotel in the 'Great North' (referring to a northern region of China) still lags significantly behind five-star hotels in first-tier cities, especially the bathroom – it was really, really old-fashioned. There was no shower cubicle, no wet/dry separation, just a shower curtain. After showering, water almost certainly spilled out. Luckily, the bathroom was large enough that there was still space to stand. If I had checked in in the afternoon, I definitely would have asked to change rooms, but it was late at night, and I couldn't be bothered to move, especially since I wasn't sleeping in the bathroom anyway. Still, it was very frustrating, and I hope the bathroom gets renovated.
Overall, it's decent. There's a subway nearby for getting around, and ordering takeout is very convenient – the robot delivery service eliminates the hassle of self-pickup, which is a big plus.

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!

I'm writing this review today because of Amy, an amazing lady at the JW Marriott Hotel Harbin. She was like a warm haven in the middle of the Harbin Ice and Snow World [smiley face].
Our stay at the Marriott was during the latter part of our Harbin trip. The morning we returned to Harbin from Snow Town, Amy called to confirm our itinerary and asked about our room preferences. She arranged a room with a view of the Ice and Snow World, and we were truly amazed the moment we stepped in. Because I hadn't read the details carefully, I discovered upon arrival that breakfast wasn't included in my package. My attempts to resolve this with the booking platform were unsuccessful. For someone like me who absolutely needs breakfast when staying at a hotel, this was really hard to accept, but since it was my own oversight, I had to just accept it. Later, I spoke with Amy, and after understanding the situation, she consulted with her superiors and helped resolve the issue.
The hotel facilities are meticulous, thoughtful, and high-quality. I'll definitely book Marriott hotels in other locations again. Five-star rating, all thanks to the staff here. [smiley face]From$67

I'm a guest who recently finished a trip to Harbin. I'm writing this specifically to commend your hotel's butler, Sally Zhang Xinran, and Emma Han Yu from the breakfast restaurant front desk.
I've been to Harbin many times, but this was my first time visiting as a tourist, and I unhesitatingly chose the Aoluguya Hotel.
From the very beginning of my trip, the hotel service left a deep impression on me. Firstly, the butler, Sally Zhang Xinran, made me feel the hotel's warmth from the moment I set out. She not only offered me many travel suggestions but also promptly responded to all my questions during my stay. Secondly, there's Emma Han Yu from the breakfast restaurant. On the last day of my trip, an incident occurred at the breakfast restaurant. On check-in day, the hotel front desk explicitly told me that a meal voucher needed to be purchased separately for my child and that I could buy it when dining. So, during my stay, I always purchased it before meals, and for the first two days, there were no issues. However, on the last day, a restaurant staff member not only told me very bluntly that this operation was not allowed but also rudely interrupted my explanation, completely disregarding the guest's feelings (objectively speaking, it was my first time encountering a star-rated hotel staff member who wouldn't solve problems but only said 'No').
At that moment, Emma Han Yu, from another counter, intervened immediately after handling other guests' issues. She not only showed extremely high professional standards but also quickly provided a perfect solution, easing the awkward atmosphere. Emma Han Yu's crisis management ability displayed on the spot is a fundamental quality that any hotel professional should possess. She also fully considered the guest's feelings without compromising the hotel's interests. What's even more commendable is that she maintained sincerity and patience throughout the process, making me feel like family. For a traveler about to leave Harbin, this kindness from a stranger was incredibly precious. She filled the end of my Harbin trip with warmth, bringing it to a perfect close.
Employees like Sally Zhang Xinran and Emma (Han Yu), who possess both professional competence and a warm service attitude, are the hotel's most valuable assets. I hope the hotel management can acknowledge and recognize their excellent performance.From$105

The service at Junyi Hotel is a standout feature. The biggest surprise was the à la carte breakfast, offering both Chinese and Western options like steak, millet porridge, pangasius fish, and vermicelli soup – and it all tasted pretty good. Every evening, they delivered pastries and milk or fruit to the room, and upon checkout, there was a small souvenir. This really made a positive impression on my child.
The room decor and color scheme were quite cozy. One thing that could be improved, though, is the mattress. It was a bit uncomfortable – too thick and hot. It's probably time to replace it. Also, the room temperature couldn't be maintained at a steady 26 degrees Celsius; it stayed at 28 degrees, which was too hot to sleep at night.

Harbin Central Avenue/Saint Sophia Cathedral/The Memorial Tower of Fig Harbin|3.1km from city center
Very convenient and comfortable two night stays here.
The location was right in front of the cable car to Sun Island. However, the cable car was so deserted and there was not much thing to see in Sun Island.
A few minute walk to Zhongyang street, which was so convenient too. Very close to Metro exit, just across the road.
For the room, comfortable with proper heater and flexible with window that I can open to let some air get inside. No smell of Smoking as I always afraid of.
Fruits and soup were served in the room both nights with some cards. So cute, hot, and delicious.
Great variety of breakfast. Jenny, a staff welcomed us with cute yogurt cups and also bought some box for takeaway food.
Good service with a lot of souvenir both checkin and out. A staff, Tim gave us some dried blueberry as a souvenir before we left.
There was a shop downstairs in case you need some extra scarfs or gloves or ear-covered.
Also laundry room and fitness. Especially, I love billiard table that I took hours to play on my last night.From$45

Harbin Central Avenue/Saint Sophia Cathedral/The Memorial Tower of Fig Harbin|2.08km from city center
Very pleasant hotel for a short stay in Harbin. It’s an Ibis, so you know exactly what it will be like. Rooms are simple, but clean, and the beds are comfortable. The location is okay, but there is another Ibis about half a mile down the road that is closer to the main attractions. Still, a short and easy walk to Central Street. The staff are extremely helpful and polite, and the breakfast is good, with a wide range of dishes (especially pickles). Recommended!From$20

Harbin Ice And Snow World/The Sun Island Harbin|9.06km from city center
The staff were incredibly warm and polite, a clear reflection of the hotel's professional and well-managed operations. For breakfast, they offered small wontons and fried eggs, which were cooked to order and personally delivered to our table by a staff member. The lobby features a cozy reading lounge with very comfortable and stylishly colored sofas. If I get the chance to visit again in winter, I'll definitely choose this hotel, especially since it's close to the Ice and Snow World.From$20

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. 👍From$39
