Manxin Properties in Harbin

This hotel's location is absolutely unbeatable, right next to the church, which instantly creates an incredible atmosphere. The room views are exceptional; you open the window to see the vintage church architecture, with the interplay of light and shadow adding a beautiful texture. Whether you're taking photos by the window or on the terrace, every shot turns into a stunning, atmospheric picture – it's incredibly photogenic. The overall environment is quiet and elegant, making for a comfortable stay. Its prime location also makes getting around very convenient. If you love photography and have a soft spot for vintage, artistic vibes, you absolutely must come here. You can fully immerse yourself in the romantic scenery around the church while enjoying high-quality accommodation. The value for money and overall experience are both fantastic, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again.

The location isn't on a main road, and it's a 13-minute walk from the subway. The facilities are decent, and the staff were polite. Breakfast was just okay. The room always had a persistent, unpleasant smell, like disinfectant, which was really off-putting. During my stay, the hotel was cleaning carpets, which affected the overall environment. Plus, the air conditioning wasn't very effective, and after running for a while, it started smelling damp. I'm surprised a hotel built in 2019 is already like this... No room photos, only scenic shots...

The room size was sufficient, and the TV actually worked well. The soundproofing was excellent; it was quiet every night, and I couldn't hear the neighbors using their phones or watching TV. The curtains were exceptionally good at blocking out light – the room was still dark at 8:30 AM. The front desk staff were also very friendly; they even asked if I wanted a bottle of water when I checked out. The mini-fridge drinks were free and replenished once consumed. Breakfast was served until 11 AM, which is perfect for late risers. The restaurant isn't huge, but it has everything you need. The freshly made rice noodles (not regular noodles) were smooth and delicious, especially with the spicy meat sauce and vinegar – it really woke up my taste buds. The fried noodles were fragrant and savory, a little firm, just how I like them. I could eat a lot of them; they reminded me of the street food stalls I used to visit in Sanya over ten years ago. For kids, there were small wontons, braised pork rice, and dumplings, all satisfying. The vegetable salad looked visibly fresh, and items were replenished promptly. The small red cakes were delicious; I could easily eat four. All the breakfast options were shown in the pictures. There was plenty for everyone, from young to old, to have a satisfying meal. Of course, those with very high expectations for breakfast might find it a bit lacking, but for this price point, I think it's pretty good.

First of all, the hotel is easy to find, has private parking, and the staff are attentive, warm, and polite. They even came out to give us a souvenir when we checked out. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a more spacious and clean room with complimentary fruit. The toilet was also smart, and it's close to the Ice and Snow World by car. Everything was great, but why didn't I give it a full five stars? Because the air conditioning was off; there was only an electric heater. In Harbin, where it's below -20 degrees Celsius, the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the upgraded room let in drafts, and the lack of air conditioning was unbelievable. My hands and feet were freezing all night. I'm from Liaoning, and it's worse than my home with its underfloor heating; my home temperature is 26 degrees Celsius, while the hotel was only 21 degrees... Can anyone understand the despair of returning to the hotel after visiting the Ice and Snow World and not daring to take a hot shower?
