I ended up canceling the last two nights and came to the Crowne Plaza instead. I was able to check in at 11 AM, and the front desk staff were incredibly efficient and professional. Service was top-notch. It's several tiers above the JW in every aspect."

"I really have to commend this hotel! When traveling, choosing a comfortable hotel is so important, and this one has an excellent location. It's very close to the river, making it super convenient to take an evening stroll along the Songhua River and enjoy the breeze. The Flood Control Monument is just a short walk away, and transportation and dining options are both very accessible. The hotel staff were incredibly thoughtful; check-in was smooth, and they even kindly offered welcome fruits. You can really feel their sincerity in every little detail.

Harbin Central Street Habsburg Hotel (Sofia Church) ★★★★★
"The room was incredibly spacious and well-equipped with thoughtful amenities – they've really thought of everything, even disposable face towels. The best part was having two bathrooms, which saved us a lot of time. The front desk staff were very warm and friendly, and so was the lady who helped with our luggage, especially attentive and caring towards the elderly. Although there was a slight hiccup during check-in, it was resolved perfectly thanks to the front desk attendant's patient communication. It seems the hotel puts a lot of effort into staff service training. The restaurant was great, with a nice ambiance. While the hotel breakfast offered a good variety, there's definitely room for improvement in terms of changing up the menu daily."
