Harbin DeRUCCI Hotelsl (Harbin Central Street St. Sophia Cathedral Branch)

This hotel is mainly designed for sleep, and the bedding is pretty good. I slept for 9 hours straight every night. However, the room I stayed in had a strange odor, and the room itself was a bit old, so the smell never really went away. I eventually got used to it, though. The smell was there as soon as you walked in.

The breakfast was plentiful, and the afternoon tea buffet ran from 2 PM to 4 PM. Our room was quiet, clean, and the bedding was very comfortable, with children's pillows provided. The service was thoughtful, and the 'healing pack' included a steam eye mask and essential oil patches to aid sleep. There's a subway station downstairs, and it's also very convenient to get a taxi.

This hotel is in a great location, right next to Metro Line 3, making it super convenient to get to all the attractions by public transport. It truly lives up to its 'sleep-themed' name – the mattress and pillows are incredibly comfortable, and they even provide sleep aids like aromatherapy. Breakfast is served until 12 PM, which is really handy. The river view room offers a nice perspective too.

We only had one day in Harbin after our flight landed, so we decided to explore, eat, and take photos around Central Street. We blindly picked the Mousse Hotel, and our whole family was very happy with it! Especially the family room – it was super spacious with two beds, enough for the whole family to sleep comfortably. The front desk service was excellent; they were warm and thoughtful, even giving us a sleep therapy gift bag and a fridge magnet when we checked out! The main thing is that the location is truly great, with Shanghai Street subway station right downstairs, making it convenient to go anywhere.

The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. I loved the clever design of the separate bathroom and toilet. The location is super convenient, right by the Shanghai Street subway exit, making it easy to get to all the attractions. The staff even helped me with my luggage. I'd definitely choose this hotel again when I visit the 'Ice City' in winter.

I chose this Harbin hotel based on its name. A unique service they offer is being able to pick your pillow before check-in, with options ranging from kid-friendly to those for adult men – something I haven't seen at other hotels. The bed was a bit soft, but acceptable, and the room was quiet, which definitely ensured a good night's sleep. The restaurant isn't large, but luckily, it wasn't crowded during our two-day stay. They offer special local dishes like 'Stewed Pork Backbone with Sauerkraut' and 'Guo Bao Rou' (sweet and sour pork), and while the variety isn't extensive, you can tell they put a lot of thought into it. There's a coffee machine and hot milk, but limited juice options. We booked a family river-view room, but I have to complain about this: the window was less than half the size of a wall, and on the highest 4th floor of the hotel, with dense foliage outside, it was quite hard to spot the Songhua River (though the sunset view was absolutely stunning!). The 4th floor has a gym and a laundry room, with free detergent provided. Because the laundry room was often in use, I didn't dare go to wash, fearing the hotel wouldn't have time to clean it. Right outside the hotel is a subway station, and a short walk takes you to a commercial street, making it very convenient to try local delicacies. Overall, it was a good experience!

This hotel is perfect for those who prioritize sleep quality and attention to detail. The staff are warm and proactive, always ready to help with luggage. Amenities include a complimentary laundry room, gym, free parking, and even robot room service. Located on Youyi Road in Daoli District, it's close to the Songhua River, with direct access to Metro Line 3 and bus stops right outside. It's also very near popular attractions like Central Street and Saint Sophia Cathedral.

This hotel was surprisingly good, especially the breakfast – our whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. We'll definitely stay here again next time we visit Harbin! The bedding was all from DeRUCCI, so after a day of exploring, we had a fantastic deep sleep. It was wonderful!

Overall, it was pretty good, especially the bedding. My partner, who usually snores a lot, slept here for four nights and even his snoring was quieter. He also said he slept really well. The soundproofing was also excellent. I'm generally satisfied and would consider staying here again on my next visit.
