Harbin Huarong Hotel (Harbin Railway Station Museum Subway Station Branch)

The location is fantastic with great views. However, it's an older hotel, so many facilities are quite dated. Things like the chairs are really hard to get clean. The room door isn't very soundproof and lets in a bit of light. On the bright side, the price is quite reasonable.

An established hotel located right on the commercial street, close to Harbin Station and Qiulin Company.

The front desk service was terrible; they didn't say a word more than necessary. The room facilities were too old, and you had to stand in the bathtub to shower. Breakfast was just average. The only upside was the great location, close to a shopping mall and the subway station.

We chose a family room, and they provided three sets of toiletries, which was perfect for our two adults and two children. If we needed more, we could just call the front desk. The location is excellent, right in the city center. Harbin Station is within walking distance, or you can take the subway one stop, which is probably better. Just turn right out of the hotel and walk a few dozen meters to the Museum Station subway. One stop takes you directly to Harbin Station, and you don't even have to exit the subway to get to the train station entrance. A taxi costs the minimum fare of 9 yuan to get there. If you walk right out of the hotel, you'll find Fendou Road Deli, Fendou Fen Chang, and Qiulin Lidaosi a few hundred meters down, turning right at the corner with Mixue Bingcheng. Everything there is delicious, but be prepared for queues. Getting to the Ice and Snow World by subway is very convenient. On the way back, we got off at People's Square and walked about 7 minutes to Laochujia for some Guobaorou (fried pork in a sweet and sour sauce). As for hotel facilities, they're a bit dated. The family room has a walk-in closet and a living room bathroom. However, there was only one working electrical outlet in the entire room, so we had to take turns charging our devices. There's no laundry room, and breakfast is just average – enough to fill you up, but we couldn't bring ourselves to wake up early enough for the morning market.

Good enough for a regular family. It's very close to the subway station, which makes getting around convenient. The breakfast was just okay.

This hotel shouldn't be rated 5 diamonds on Ctrip. There was a thick layer of grease on the headboard and the bathroom door creaked. I honestly think a 2-star hotel would be better than this room. I feel completely ripped off.

The room was impressively spacious, but the facilities felt outdated. The decor might have been considered luxurious twenty years ago, but now the cabinets are falling apart and the bathroom leaks. Despite the generous size of both the room and bathroom, there's no place to hang clothes, and the hangers in the wardrobe have straight, exposed nail heads that can't be used anywhere else. The main positives are the convenient location, the ample space, and a good supply of disposable amenities. However, the overall impression is one of age and disrepair.

Overall, the rooms are pretty good and modern. The location is excellent, right in the old city center, making transportation very convenient. The building is quite tall, around 30+ floors. I'd recommend it; it's quite nice and offers good value for money.
