Hotel Dengan Bar di Jilin, China

We paid to upgrade to a bigger room and have zero regrets! It was incredibly spacious and lovely. We were floored the moment we walked in and the curtains opened to reveal those stunning floor-to-ceiling windows. The in-house bar was another highlight—a cozy cafe by day that transforms into a cool bar at night. We ended up spending four hours there! Our bartender, Xiaoya, was so young and energetic we. You can really feel her hard work and passion; we had a great time drinking and sharing life stories with her. Also, the local food recommendation from the receptionist was superb. Everything about this hotel and Yanji exceeded expectations—we definitely should have planned a longer stay! The only downside was the water temperature; it kept fluctuating between hot and cold, making us feel like we were doing the 'cha-cha' in the shower! To make matters worse, the hairdryer was broken and we couldn't reach the front desk by phone. Luckily, my boyfriend went down to grab a replacement. (I suspect they might unplug the phones at night for safety reason?) Despite those hiccups, I’d love to come back. Yanji is so underrated

We had a great time at Wanda Vista. The room was beautiful and comfortable. Service was always very friendly and 小袁 was very attentive to all our requests. The location is prime, right next to many major attractions. We would definitely recommend!

I was really impressed by the hotel's service during this stay! As soon as we arrived in the lobby, a staff member immediately came over to help with our luggage. The front desk attendant was incredibly patient and thorough during check-in; she not only processed everything quickly but also proactively asked about our preferences and thoughtfully upgraded us to a room with a better view. The hotel rooms even have Type-C outlets. During our stay, when the mini-fridge in our room ran out of drinks, I called housekeeping, and they refilled it in less than ten minutes. Such warm and thoughtful service truly makes you feel comfortable. I'll definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip!

The room was very spacious. We arrived quite late, well past midnight, but the front desk quickly checked us in. After we checked out, the front desk called to let us know we'd left a power cord behind and immediately offered to mail it to us via WeChat. However, since it was for our child's constant-temperature kettle, we decided to go back and pick it up. The hotel's service was warm, thoughtful, and proactive, with a very positive attitude. The breakfast staff were also incredibly enthusiastic. We were very satisfied with this stay!

Room was clean and new, Breakfast is good Location is a bit far from town center, but you can travel to anywhere in the town by DiDi. Recommend for traveller who planned to visit Changbaishan North side. Additionally, There is a black cat who stay in front of hotel. Please kindly give her some cat food and clean water. She is very cute. (Cat food can be bought near the hotel). Thank you for your kindness.

I stayed here for several consecutive days and was very satisfied. Every staff member I met greeted me warmly, and I especially want to commend Ivy for her help during my stay. I wanted to experience different room types, so I booked several different rooms. Ivy proactively asked about my preferred time to switch rooms and, once the new room was clean, she notified me and sent over the key card. Her service-mindedness is truly excellent. I highly recommend everyone to stay here. It's in the city center, making it convenient to go anywhere, and The MixC is just across the street, solving all your dining and shopping needs. It's fantastic!

This is the second time we stay in this hotel. Staff is friendly and helpfu as usual, and rooms are confortable. We appreciate the location, as the metro station is downright under the hotel building and there are a lot of small restaurants for breakfast or dinner nearby. Unfortunatelly, because of winter temperature, we could not enjoy the rooftop.

When I was planning my trip, I looked at a lot of hotels. Honestly, we rarely choose hotels that have been operating for a very long time when we travel. However, after seeing many bloggers' recommendations and explanations, I ultimately chose the Crown Plaza 👑. **Facilities:** The decor is indeed an older style, but I have to say, the hotel's facilities were incredibly detailed and sophisticated for their time. This hotel must have been considered super luxurious when it first opened. First, it has a wet/dry separation in the bathroom, which many new hotels and even five-star establishments don't necessarily offer. Second, the sink faucets are positioned high, which saves most of us from back strain. Third, there are hooks outside the shower for hanging clothes – such a simple amenity, yet many hotels lack a place for clean clothes while showering. Finally, the shower stall has a built-in seat, the water pressure is strong, the water is hot and comfortable, and the showerhead isn't wobbly from long-term use. **Environment:** It's located mid-slope on Changbai Mountain. I asked the driver, and he said the Crown Plaza is already one of the highest hotels on the mountain in the vicinity, surrounded by pristine forests. It's the closest hotel to the North Slope scenic area and even offers an exclusive VIP transfer channel. There's also a shuttle bus that circulates within the scenic area to pick up and drop off guests at the hotel. What I loved most is that Julong Hot Springs is right inside the hotel, offering unlimited free access to natural volcanic springs, which washes away a day's fatigue. It's incredibly pleasant to soak in the warm, comfortable hot spring while watching the snowy world outside. **Service:** Super-duper VIP! Even before I checked in, various butler services contacted me to arrange everything before and after my stay, including hotel transfers, booking my itinerary for the next day, and VIP transfers to the North Slope. Whatever difficulties I encountered, they were immediately handled. A huge thank you to hotel butlers Shanqiu and Songyue, and travel butler Smile, for making guests feel at home and alleviating the anxiety of arriving in an unfamiliar city. 🙏 To all the hotel staff, everyone shines in their role! 👍👍

The hotel staff were all exceptionally friendly, making our stay a pleasant one. On our check-in day, which was the Mid-Autumn Festival, they even gave us small mooncakes. Although it's an older hotel, it was clean, hygienic, comfortable, and quiet. We saw many photos of national leaders and important figures on the hotel walls. The location is also excellent, right by the river, just a short taxi ride (5 yuan is incredibly cheap!) from the famous ”Instagrammable” wall. We especially loved the hotel breakfast; it was so plentiful we didn't need to go to the morning market. It had all the usual local specialties: bibimbap, warm noodles, rice cakes, rice rolls, tofu, and various kimchi. The staff even made the rice rolls on the spot – they were delicious and not too sweet. We ate our fill and headed home satisfied. Very satisfied!

I've lived nearby for years, and after decades, I finally got the chance to stay here 😂. My room was upgraded, and the fruit platter and complimentary drinks were a nice touch 😊😊. **Facilities:** It was just renovated last year, so everything feels very new. The hallways are spacious, and each floor even has a lounge area. The rooms are all smart-controlled 👍. (Cons: There are only two elevators, the automatic toilet flush sometimes doesn't respond and finding the manual flush is a bit awkward. There's no place to hang towels in the bathroom, and the bathroom/toilet/shower doors are all very heavy and make a loud noise when opened or closed. The shower leaks water from the door crack). **Cleanliness:** Excellent. **Environment:** Excellent, with free parking 👍. **Service:** Excellent! The front desk staff were very enthusiastic. When they learned we didn't need tickets for the Liu Laogen Grand Stage, they gave us a complimentary drink voucher for the lobby bar. The lobby bar also has a great atmosphere!
