"First off, I want to praise the hotel staff's service – it was excellent. From the warm welcome at check-in to helping with luggage in the room, the constant smiling service made us feel incredibly welcome and truly showed the hospitality of Northeasterners. 👍
The breakfast was abundant, mainly featuring a wide variety of Chinese dishes like stir-fries and Lanzhou noodles. Western options were relatively fewer. If you opt out of the hotel breakfast, you could also try some snacks at the nearby Hongzhuan morning market, which is affordable, though inconvenient on rainy days.
The location is a major plus. Just a short walk away is the Yangtze River, where many people gather in the evenings, playing with water guns. The expansive river view is very relaxing, and there are also many aunts and uncles dancing and singing.
The hotel is about a 2-minute walk to the subway station, making it very convenient to get around. In Harbin, if you're traveling in a group, taking a taxi can be more cost-effective.
On the downside, the bathroom drain was clogged on the day we checked in. Although it was eventually handled properly, I hope the hotel pays more attention to this issue and manages it better.
The complimentary afternoon tea included fruit, milk tea, and some small pastries. It's suitable for an afternoon break, but the quality was just average.
The room was clean. The toilet was automatic flushing and came with wet wipes. Complimentary toiletries and disposable compressed face towels were also provided, which was very convenient.
The hotel's activity area isn't very large, but overall, if you're looking for convenient transportation, it's a good choice."
