Harbin Central Street Huate Hotel (Sofia Church)

9.1/10Good4336 Ulasan
Harbin Central Avenue/Saint Sophia Cathedral/The Memorial Tower of Fig Harbin|2.8km dari pusat bandar
This hotel is located in the Central Street business district, making it convenient for shopping. It has five floors, but the building is quite old, and in my opinion, it doesn't quite meet a five-diamond standard. First, the pros: The rooms in Block A are spacious and well-renovated. The hotel was proactive in addressing issues, and the service attitude was good. The location is convenient, being just over 500 meters from Central Street and the Songhua River, so it's not too far. Taxis are readily available, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. Now for the cons: The cleanliness wasn't great; I found hair in the corners of the floor after checking in. The facilities also weren't up to par; for example, the hairdryer was broken, and each room seemed to have a different brand of hairdryer. The electric kettle was hot to the touch, and the hot water temperature for showering during the day wasn't high. The restaurant had limited variety, and the food quality was average. There's basically no view from the window. Finally, a major complaint: If you've booked a room in Block B, I'd recommend not staying there. The room decor is cheap, and the view from the window is terrible, mostly power lines. Block B is separated from Block A by a central garden, and the breakfast restaurant is in Block A. Overall, I was satisfied with the hotel and Trip.com's service, as issues were actively coordinated and resolved immediately. However, I was quite dissatisfied with the hotel stay itself. I booked based on Trip.com's five-diamond rating, choosing to trust the platform, but the actual experience was significantly different from a five-diamond standard. I suggest the platform strictly vet hotels to prevent inflated reviews from affecting ratings and misleading consumers. This is a genuine stay and an objective review, hoping to help other consumers and encourage the hotel to improve its hardware facilities and operate based on real quality.

This hotel is housed in a magnificent building with a century of history, reportedly once the residence of a Russian Grand Duke. Upon entering, you're greeted by staff dressed in elegant period costumes, who are beautiful, dignified, and incredibly welcoming. Inside, you'll find a century-old elevator still in operation, a lavish lobby, and a wide selection of imperial costumes available for photo opportunities. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, featuring a stunning, bright, and elegant domed hall, and the Baroque-style rooms are exquisitely luxurious. The blend of ancient architecture with modern smart toilets enhances your stay perfectly. The hotel also provides a complimentary fruit platter, and the minibar is stocked with Madieer ice cream and Kvass for you to enjoy. If it's your birthday, the kitchen prepares a beautiful cake to celebrate, and the restaurant even offers complimentary birthday noodles. A big thank you to everyone there! Every staff member in the restaurant was incredibly enthusiastic and deserves high praise. Upon check-out, they even provided a parting gift (as shown in picture 1). The hotel's location is exceptional; a right turn outside leads directly to Central Street, and a left turn brings you to the Red Brick Morning Market in just a few minutes. In short, if I ever return to Harbin, I would choose this hotel again.

Although the facilities are a bit dated, they are well-maintained. The location is excellent, making it convenient for getting around. Both breakfast and the executive lounge's light meals offer a rich variety of hygienic and delicious food. All the staff we encountered were professional, enthusiastic, and appropriately attentive; they would greet us or proactively offer help every time we saw them. They also responded quickly to our requests. In short, both the hardware and the service (software) made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommended (which is why I really don't understand why this hotel doesn't have a higher rating)!

The hotel was just mediocre. The lobby, though, was quite luxurious and beautiful; at first glance, it seemed a bit upscale. But the actual experience was really just average. The concierge staff (a few older gentlemen) never greeted me (even after staying 5 nights and going in and out dozens of times), but I guess you can't expect too much from an independent domestic brand hotel. What was even funnier was the front desk. I handed him my ID, he typed a few things on the computer, then mysteriously leaned in and whispered that he had upgraded me. I even thanked him, but when I opened the door and walked in, I realized it was just the room type I had originally booked. It even looked smaller than the area described on Trip.com, and the sofa was awkwardly placed diagonally in the corner, making it inconvenient to move around. It's truly laughable; I didn't expect an upgrade, nor did I even ask for one. I never beg for things at the front desk during check-in, so there's no need to mislead people, okay? The second funny point was the strong smell of smoke in the room, especially in the bathroom. The moment I walked in, I smelled a strong smoke odor. But I was so tired from an early flight that day and just wanted to quickly wash up and rest. When I entered the bathroom, the smoke smell was even stronger, making me feel nauseous. At this point, I was just cursing the smokers who insist on lighting up in hotel rooms. But after I finished washing up, I saw a box of matches on the coffee table. Haha, speechless. Even more ridiculous, there was a 'No Smoking' sign on the bedside table. People who hate smoke should definitely avoid booking this hotel. Oh, and the so-called afternoon tea consisted of very cheap pastries, small tomatoes, and apricots of varying sizes and textures, some soft, some hard. Yes, the kind of 'Western pastries' you'd find at a 68-yuan buffet, utterly disgusting. The only drink was a pot of 'hot tea' that was so diluted I couldn't even tell what kind of tea it was. This 'afternoon tea' was simply pathetic; they might as well have given me two bananas. I left after 5 minutes on the first afternoon. The remaining 4 vouchers went straight into the trash. I didn't give the lowest rating because the cleaning lady had a very good attitude; otherwise, it would definitely have been a one-star rating.

Shangri-La Songbei, Harbin

Harbin Sunac Land/The Sun Island Harbin|8.36km dari pusat bandar
Exceeded expectations, highly recommended! Next time I come to Harbin, I'll definitely stay for more nights. Before arriving in Harbin, when booking a hotel, besides location and facilities, my main concern was whether there was a pool for kids. After much deliberation among several star-rated hotels, I finally chose Shangri-La Songbei. It turned out to be the absolute best decision of our Harbin-Yichun trip. The most surprising thing? It has to be the hotel's window view! We gasped the moment we entered the room – it was simply stunning! How could there be such a large window, such a beautiful view of the Songhua River, and such a perfect hotel? This scene made us never want to leave the room; just quietly sitting by the window and enjoying the scenery was enough. Next, let's talk about the hotel's service, which was also top-notch! We had an early flight back to Beijing on our departure day. We had booked a room with breakfast, but since we had to leave by 6 AM, we wouldn't be able to enjoy it. So, when checking in, I asked the front desk if there was a solution. The hotel offered a incredibly thoughtful plan: they prepared simple packed meals for us to take away. When we checked out, I saw three bags for the three of us, and each bag contained three packed containers with fruits, pastries, eggs, sausages, and more – it was so comprehensive! Who wouldn't love such a considerate hotel? Finally, one more thing: there aren't many dining options near the hotel. There's only one dumpling restaurant across the road. We navigated there, walked around for a long time, and just as we were about to give up, we discovered a hidden gem of a restaurant nearby called 'Dufu Smoked & Sauced Dumpling Longjiang Cuisine.' I highly recommend this restaurant too! The dishes are diverse, delicious, and affordably priced. It's truly a treasure! I'm already planning to replicate this experience with Shangri-La Songbei and Dufu Restaurant on my next trip to Harbin – I'm so excited to plan my next Harbin itinerary just for them! 😘

A hotel with great character! It's only a 2-minute walk from Central Avenue, so the location is superb! It's clean and hygienic. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby, which is very convenient! Whether you eat downstairs or order takeout, it's easy. There's no separate shower area, only a bathtub, which might be inconvenient for elderly people with mobility issues. It would be even better if they didn't use Ice Dew bottled water 😃.

Harbin Railway Station/Gogol Street/The first affiliated hospital of H Harbin|1.39km dari pusat bandar
This was my first stay at a Fairfield by Marriott, and honestly, it was hard to describe. I paid 5-star prices for 3.5-star service and quality. The price point was about 1.5 tiers higher than what the hotel actually offered. The value for money was poor, and it simply didn't live up to its price tag. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. 1. At the same time, the price was about 10% higher than comparable hotels in the same area or even better locations, or even hotels in a higher category. I booked a week in advance, and the Fairfield was 200 RMB more expensive than the JW Marriott. At the time, I was under the impression that Fairfield in Harbin wasn't an economy chain. It's a 10-minute walk from Central Street, but there are much better value hotels within a 3-minute walk of Central Street. 2. During my three-day stay, the Wi-Fi signal was extremely weak. The staff explained it was due to heavy rain a few days prior, but even when the weather cleared up on the subsequent two days, the signal showed no improvement. I also couldn't connect to my company's network during this time. 3. The service was acceptable, neither great nor terrible, but it certainly matched the hotel's actual standard. While the service was okay, the hardware and its inherent flaws were unchangeable. The room was only about 20 square meters, and there was no desk, which makes it completely unsuitable for business travel, studying, or even family trips. Trying to open two suitcases in the room was incredibly difficult, leaving very little space to move around. 4. The cancellation policy, booked through Ctrip, was also inflexible. My family was too lazy to switch hotels later, so we just decided to make do with what we had.

The handsome guy at the front desk contacted us in advance to set up a tent, which added a nice touch to the atmosphere. The facilities were also complete, including a garment steamer, a mini-fridge, and a tea bar. It would have been perfect if the curtains were blackout curtains. We stayed for two nights, and the lady at the front desk was incredibly responsive and spoke softly. She even helped me carry and freeze a 16-pound vacuum-sealed red sausage. Thumbs up to her!

Harbin in summer – you get what you pay for! The day before, I stayed near Central Street; that hotel wasn't cheap but it was small and damp, and had virtually no facilities (not throwing shade, just a comparison)... The next day, I decisively moved to Mercure! Oh my god, I felt completely relaxed and refreshed! Location: It's not far from St. Sophia Church and Central Street. Harbin Museum is right across the street, and it's close to the river, so you can walk to the Flood Control Memorial Tower or the Middle East Railway Bridge – all the must-see spots are within a leisurely stroll. Facilities: The lobby isn't huge, but it's comfortable and well-designed. The room layout is sensible, with a walk-in closet, a bathroom with separate wet and dry areas, electric curtains, and a Dyson hairdryer. The laundry room, gym, and restaurant are all on the 3rd floor. Hygienics: Perfect score. Service: Extremely satisfied. The staff are all very enthusiastic and polite. The front desk receptionists are particularly patient; besides basic check-in services, they patiently chatted with a guest who was constantly talking, engaging in genuine conversation back and forth. Double Lobby Buffet Afternoon Tea: A big plus, very popular with seniors and children. Warm Midnight Snack: Different snacks every day, highly recommended. You pick them up at the front desk based on the number of people in the room. Fingertip Fun, Creative De-stressing Perler Bead Activity: My child was obsessed with Perler beads, so I booked it without hesitation! The only minor issue was that some bead colors were out of stock; it would be best if they could be replenished promptly. Also, the space felt a bit cramped. For a hotel of this caliber, it would be more appealing to guests if they had a separate room for children's activities.

After an unpleasant experience at my previous hotel, I was really touched by the enthusiastic staff here. They showed me a room and then helped me compare it with another family room, recommending the cheaper and more value-for-money triple family room. The hotel's breakfast is definitely the highlight; the variety is absolutely amazing! It's a fantastic blend of Chinese and Western options, catering to different dietary habits from both northern and southern regions. Staples like noodles, steamed buns, corn, pumpkin, and rice are all available. Western breakfast items like desserts, waffles, small cakes, and bread are also plentiful.

Out of all the hotels I stayed at during my 10-day trip to Harbin, this one had the most convenient transportation. It seems they host a lot of group bookings, as there were always guests waiting to check in at the front desk every day. So, available rooms might be limited and you should book quickly.

The common areas are well-maintained and comfortable, and the rooms have good natural light and ventilation. It's quiet, not noisy, ensuring a great night's sleep. The daily afternoon tea is such a lifesaver for families with kids who stay in the hotel during the day! The kids absolutely loved it! The breakfast spread was also extensive! And having unlimited Madieer ice cream was an unexpected delightful surprise! The aunts and uncles at the restaurant became friends with my child, who now says they'll definitely be back in winter! Many thanks to the hotel staff for their thoughtful service. Wishing you all the best in your work!

Stayed for nine days, excellent service, excellent environment and excellent facilities. I also spent New Year’s Eve in the hotel, and invited me to share the New Year’s Eve dinner with the hotel staff for free, and even ate Spring Festival dumplings in the middle of the night! A very excellent hotel, my first choice next time I come to Acheng!

The room was spotless, the bedding was clean, and the view outside the window was fantastic! There was a cute little notice about tiny ladybugs in the room, which was a novel experience for city kids who rarely see them 🐞. The hotel has a hot spring on the first floor, which was incredibly relaxing after a day of skiing. The staff were all very friendly; Ms. Wang from the rose pool even brought us water. This hotel is really great for families!

The hotel's location is superb, right on Harbin's Central Street. It's in the bustling city center yet manages to be a peaceful escape from the noise. The hotel has a European-inspired style with many vintage items, making it perfect for photos. Every staff member was incredibly warm and attentive. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast offered a rich selection of both Chinese and Western dishes, and the staff provided excellent service. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations – fantastic! 🌹🌹🌹

I randomly picked this hotel online and ended up staying at the Yawangsi Hotel by chance, and I thought it was great. First, the hotel is huge. I only found out upon arrival that it's where the Asian Winter Games athletes stay, so the facilities are top-notch. Second, when we checked in, a group of over 200 people were checking out the day before. They didn't wait for us at all, but the front desk manager felt they had been negligent in welcoming us and apologized profusely. That evening, they even brought us a huge fruit platter, which was a pleasant surprise. Third, after skiing that evening, we went to the restaurant to order dinner, and the manager happened to be there bringing the fruit platter. After leading us to the restaurant, he noticed it was a bit empty and, worried we might be cold, offered to bring our food to our room after we ordered – very thoughtful. Fourth, we ordered a braised pork dish, a stir-fried eggplant, potatoes, and green peppers, and dumplings. The three of us were stuffed, and the food was delicious. At just over 100 yuan, I think it was a great deal for a tourist area. Fifth, the service was very attentive. The supermarket on the first floor is open until 9 PM, and prices are slightly higher than in the city center, which is understandable. The front desk staff offered recommendations and assistance with making connections for various itineraries and activities, but they weren't pushy or overly helpful, which was great. The front desk manager, in particular, was very enthusiastic; I don't even know their name, but you can figure it out yourself if you see this. We came at the end of November, which wasn't peak season, so I don't know what it's like during peak season, but for this time of year, the price and service were excellent value.

Ibis Hotel (Harbin Central Street Railway Station)

Harbin Central Avenue/Saint Sophia Cathedral/The Memorial Tower of Fig Harbin|2.08km dari pusat bandar
Facilities: There's a restaurant on the first floor that offers breakfast. The selection isn't huge, but it's perfectly adequate. The room was spacious and had a large window. There were no strange odors, and the bathroom was a good size with a separate wet and dry area. Ambiance: Clean and tidy, with lively decor. The signature Ibis red makes it feel warm and inviting. Service: The young lady at the front desk had a smile that could melt anyone (and I'm a woman!). She was a major highlight of the hotel – so enthusiastic and empathetic. When she saw my mom and I were sharing a bed, she proactively upgraded us to a twin room, which was also very spacious, and even gave us complimentary egg tarts upon check-in. Her proactive spirit and warm service made our stay truly enjoyable! 😀 Hygiene: The hotel maintained the usual Ibis standard of cleanliness. There was no hair on the room floor, and both the toilet and shower areas were excellent and very spacious.

Five-star review! The hygiene was excellent, and the environment was great. It's super convenient for getting around, very close to the subway. Our check-in experience was fantastic. My friend and I came for a trip and definitely didn't pick the wrong hotel. The bed was really soft, and the room was spacious and bright. There's even an amusement park within the resort, so if you get tired of staying in the hotel, you can go wander around – it's all very interesting. The entire park has a European castle architectural style, which is beautiful and perfect for photos. Plus, all the staff were wonderful, with very friendly service. There's also a shuttle bus within the park, making it easy to get around. The breakfast was incredibly rich and awesome! We even happened to catch a newly opened venue within the park and went to check it out – it was so dreamy and huge, you could even do cosplay! It was amazing. No matter where you went, the staff were always super nice. 👍

The front desk staff were really welcoming and went out of their way to help us with any issues, making us feel right at home. The sour plum soup in the lobby wasn't too sweet and was very refreshing, and the rose tea was also delicious. Our room was clean, and I have to give a special shout-out to the breakfast – even though the area was small, there was a wide variety of dishes and everything tasted great. The only downside is that many rooms don't have windows, but on the flip side, it made them incredibly quiet. It was stormy outside, but I couldn't hear a thing from my room, haha! 😄

The front desk lady is very caring. The stay experience is very good. Mailed couriers can also collect. The pillows are not very comfortable, and the front desk can also take spares. Living here is mainly to watch a concert. It is also very close to the convention center. Anyway, it was a good experience.
