I am a young Englishman on a 20 day solo self-drive road trip across northern Heilongjian and Inner Mongolia. After my stay in Hulun Buir, I decided to drive down to Arxan for 2 nights exploring. I booked this stay based off of the other foreign guests' positive experience.
I arrived in the town late in the evening. The boss was waiting for me and was attentive and welcoming from the start.
The room is very spacious and comfortable, and the temperature was just right. Everything is provided and replaced when needed.
After hiking in the national park, I came back to the boss and his extended family making CNY preparations. Then I was invited to drink Chinese tea (Dian Hong) at their tea table. I was then welcomed to eat with the family, drink beer and eat until I was full. I was welcomed not just as a guest of theirs, but as a family friend.
In mid-winter, Aershan/Arxan is a quiet and cold place. I came as part of a long journey taking my rented 4x4 Tank 300 through the snow and ice on routes apart of the Hulun Buir Snow and Ice Festival. My journey was peaceful, solemn and isolated. The hospitality and warm welcome was exactly what I needed after my long drive alone and it is a memory I will take home to the UK with me.
I highly recommend this guesthouse, especially if you are travelling solo across this wilderness.
Thank you brother. I look forward to returning in the near future with my partner, and when my mandarin is better.

Guest UserThe Birch Forest Hotel, even its name sounds like it has a story, and like its design, it reflects the owner's many thoughtful touches. The owner is friendly and refined, personally explaining the room's features and maintaining it meticulously.
The room is exactly the size described in the link, but it's very practical. A 24-inch suitcase can be laid out without obstructing movement; the space is used very efficiently.
The cleanliness is excellent, the bedding is comfortable, and even the lace trim on the disposable slippers seems specially selected.
If you're unsure where to eat after settling in, feel free to try the owner's recommended restaurants—they are truly excellent!
The location goes without saying; it's very close to popular attractions such as the train station and Holy Spring Square.

yoyohereIt's a romantic little house by the river. Arxan is small, so staying here makes it convenient to go anywhere. Stepping outside reveals the most beautiful scenery in the entire town. The owner was very kind and even upgraded us to a river-view room. The room had a polygonal bay window where sunlight streamed in. Sitting there, drinking tea, and daydreaming was so pleasant! I wanted to stay another night, but unfortunately, it was fully booked. Upon check-out, the owner even gave us a complimentary hot coffee – so thoughtful! The room had a few minor flaws, but with my perfect mood, they were negligible.

This is my first stay to write a review because this hotel is really good. The hardware conditions of the homestay are not very amazing. The room is not as big as expected, but the service is really attentive. The owner is very sincere and simple. Said that the room was cold and immediately sent electric heating, breakfast was sent to coffee, the restaurant music was very tasteful, the view of the terrace was also unique, especially when we checked out and couldn't get a taxi to the station, the owner personally drove it, and the trip to Aershan really left a good memory. Thanks again to the owner 🙏🏻

Very comfortable hotel ~ large windows, sufficient heating, and a humidifier. Worth living. The restaurant downstairs is also delicious. On the right hand side of the hotel, turn right again and there is a noodle restaurant that is delicious (as shown in the picture, we ordered dishes ~ the supermarket is also convenient)

It's a great staying experience. It's clean and has no odor. You can see the river view when standing in front of the window. The small city is very beautiful at night and the train station is also very unique. The boss is very enthusiastic and explains the Aershan travel guide carefully.

The hotel itself is very basic but it's normal in the country. The position is great, very close to the platform from where buses leave to go to the Park's attractions. Also there's a supermarket and several restaurants around. Don't get scared if you don't find anyone at the reception, there's a telephone number, and when they show up, they are very helping and easygoing. No one speaks English but no one does in that area.

From the environment, the hotel does have a unique location, it is easy to take pictures, the surrounding environment is so beautiful, it is close to the town, quiet and convenient. Low season price is not high is a good choice, if the peak season price doubled, I probably will not consider.
From the facilities, the first feeling of entering the room is that the room is relatively small, the bed is mini, not suitable for the bed, sleep is not very comfortable, the washing area light is broken (the second night is repaired), the wooden floor has floor heating, very comfortable, heating is also very sufficient.
From the perspective of health, health looks good, this time I didn't go to the small details, after all, I came to travel, not to stay in a hotel holiday.
The most important thing is service. The service starts from small details. I am also a service industry myself, so I am more concerned about the service. From the beginning of entering the hotel, I will not say what I have encountered. Compared with other chains, the gap between Samsung and four stars is very large. After all, it is enough to travel and be happy and comfortable. However, I witnessed the whole process of a young man almost fighting with the guests, which made me very surprised and incredible. I was very angry. I felt that the attitude of the hotel was not good. I almost wanted to do it when I received the plate at breakfast time. The little brother should shut up when he eats me. In fact, he solved everything in four words ”sorry”, but he was kind. The guest has a sentence of his n, what is the service, there is no sense of service at all, and it is speechless. The hotel management system needs to be further improved. As an outsider, I also feel that living here is not respected. 😟 It is not enough for the management to do a good job. It is estimated that the entire hotel should be managed with heart. There should be iron manager and manager Zhang.
Finally, thank you for the new year gift from the iron manager.

Guest UserThe hotel booked above Trip.com , after coming to the hotel, gave us a big surprise. The room was very clean, the facilities were complete, the front desk service was very warm, and we upgraded the room and presented breakfast. The price was super high. Later, we continued for another night. There are many restaurants and shopping shops near the hotel. It is very convenient to eat and shop. A small city has left a deep impression on us!
