Find Hotels in Harbin, China

smallest hotel rooms outside europe. one of the least expensive hotels we ever stayed in the last 25 years. but it is in the greatest location in harbin if you want to see the ice and snow festivals or walk around the central avenue. the staff are mostly english speaking and beyond helpful. if you stay in hotels to enjoy your hotel rooms or great breakfasts, then don't stay here. but if you want a hotel just to take a shower and have few hours sleep in between your sightseeing, then this is the lowest priced, best located hotel (really a "hostel", not a hotel) in harbin, china. the staff will arrange taxis for you to go to different places. use it. it may cost you extra, but you will save at least 30 - 60 minutes standing in -20c temperature outside looking for a taxi, that you have to share with other passengers.

The hotel is beautifully located at the Songhua river and not too far (however, not in walking distance) from the main attractions of the snow and ice festival and the new opera house with its unique architechture. The distance to downtown Harbin is considerable (approx. 10 km). There is a convenient complimentary hotel shuttle service to the two venues of the winter festival. Into downtown you need a taxi. The elegant hotel offers everything to feel at home away from home. The breakfast is excellent in quality and variety. There is a bavarian brewery at the hotel, which offers surprisingly good bavarian style food and beer. All staff members, albeit not always speaking English very well, are extremely friendly and helpful. Our special thanks go to Donald (Dong) for arranging our shuttle transports and tickets for the ice and snow festival and to Lilian for her outstanding and friendly assistance with all matters. We highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Harbin.

staying here was the icing on the cake for a perfect holiday. this was our first time staying with the shangri la and we loved it. it was very obviously the best hotel option in harbin, head and shoulders above the other accommodation options. worth the price difference given the spectacular views you get (be sure to book a superior room for a guaranteed view) as for as hotels in china go - this was above par for service and food. comparable to a 5 star hotel in europe, or very good 4 star hotel in top asian cities. the standard of food and variety available and the buffets exceeded our expectations. the location was also great for us - it's a very pleasant 20 min walk along the river into the pedestrianized centre of town (zhongyuan lu) - which gives you a chance to walk on the frozen river or join in on any of the frozen river activities. that said, taxis are always readily available outside the hotel and ont eh street, and cheap if you don't like walking in the cold or have small children with you.

I can only highly recommend the hotel to anybody who wants to visit Harbin and want to be in the center close to everything within walking distance. Everything you need is a short walk away. Juky, the Reception Manager was one of the most helpful people I have met in any hotel. She will go above and beyond to help you. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need. Only thing I could ask for is maybe have a few English language channels. But, as you should spend time seeing the ice festival and the sights, this is not a big issue. Overall, we had a good stay.

Went beginning of March to catch the last of skiing season.Stopped in Harbin after Yabuli. The room size is as expected, you can't expect much space if 2 suitcases are opened up but enough room to move. No air condition,rely on opening window. Breakfast included in room rate of 913yuan for 4 days 3 night, consider value for money. Breakfast is only chinese style with a few rotational option, served from 7-9am. Location is great as you can get to Sun Island by cable car (80 yuan for return ticket,50yuan for single) across the road. Zhongyang Jie is only a block away and walkable distance to St.Sophia church. Easy access to bus if you want to visit LaoDaiWai Baroque Street or Long Ta. Along the street outside of hotel are plenty of food options,hotpot, chinese barbeque, steak house and 24hrs convenience store. Would certainly stay here again if I ever return to Harbin.

The best thing about Kai Rui Hotel is its location, just a short walk to the Zhongyang Dajie (main walking street where great restaurants and shops are). Kai Rui serves very delicious breakfast. Staffs are friendly. The most disappointing is on the weekend when they have more customers, the water supply in shower is disrupted... water became sudden hot and sudden cold and sudden stop.

The hotel is close to all tourist locations in Harbin, just 200 meters from the famous pedestrian street, where you can find lots of places to eat. I went to the Sun Island by taxi, and it was only 20 rmb to go there. You can also take a ferry or go by cable, but not speaking Mandarin I felt I could save time by taking a taxi. The people at the reception desk were very kind and helpful. The internet connection worked most of the time, though the signal was weak. Just 100 meters away is a beautiful Russian-imperial-style hotel, which must be very expensive and is worth of visiting. The price was good for this type of hotel.

Staying at the Holiday Inn Harbin City Centre made my stay in Harbin most enjoyable. The Sophia Church is walking distance. Center Street is just across the street where I was able to experience some local food and also do all the shopping I needed for gifts from Harbin. I went to attend the Ice Festival and there is a small Park within walking distance that had sculptures on display. That was enjoyable to see. And then to take a taxi to the Ice World was not more than 25-30 RMB from the Hotel. And with all these things so easily accessible the staff at the Hotel front desk did all they could to make my stay enjoyable. I really enjoyed my stay here at this Hotel and recommend it to anyone planning a visit to Harbin.

This is a great hotel, especially considering the price compared to other equivalent hotels in Harbin. I can't say enough about the front desk manager who upgraded us to a nicer room when they could not provide a non-smoking standard room at check-in...very nice lady. The Cantonese-style restaurant serves great food. And, the buffet breakfast is very good also. The location is perfect, located right on the pedestrian street in Harbin. My only complaint is that you can't control the heating in the guest rooms during winter. Evidently it is centrally controlled and was way too hot for my liking...hovered right around 25C during the entire 3-day stay. My only choice to cool the room down was to open the window. But, when it is windy and -25C outside in January at night, that does not give you much control over the heat...you either bake or freeze. As a 4-star hotel they really should give a guest some control over the temperature in a room. But, taking all into consideration, I would stay there again.

The warmth and welcome of the staff is comparable to that of a 5-star hotel. There are a couple of issues with the hostel such as its location (30mins away from the city proper and there’s no nearby Bank of China where currencies can be exchanged but there’s a mall just a block away for groceries) and how hot the room temperature is. But overall, the friendliness of the staff compensates for all these. The receptionist speaks good English. She also assisted us almost on a daily basis on the touristic itinerary that we want but seems not doable. The staff provides solutions to all the problems that I’ve just mentioned. They booked us cabs using their app and they gave us an electric fan inside our room. Very recommended! Thanks to all of the helpful staff

We really enjoyed our stay in Harbin. There were a few very nice touches, like being given a plate frozen pears and persimmons on arrival and free coffee all day. The employees at the front desk were extra helpful. When we asked for a recommendation for hot pot, one of them drove us in his own car to a nearby place. I would highly recommend this place, but new couples beware: the bathroom (including toilet area) are completely clear glass. Hope you're comfortable with one another ;)

Is a small hotel inside the small city nearby the airport. You have 2 options to stay. Further away in the big city of Harbin or nearby the airport. Nearby the airport is like the old city, not beautiful at all. But this is your best option if your flight is late night. Service was very good, inside the hotel is beautiful but small. If you stay more than 1 day I would recommend to stay in an hotel in the city. Or just stay 1 day here. They provide shuttles service from/to airport. The price is very cheap. They have bathroom with shower, heater, hot water, big mattresses, hotel small kit (brush, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc). Only speak mandarin, there is no English speaker like most of hotel in Harbin. The taxi from the airport to the city is around 60¥.

For the price paid, the suite was a great value for such a nice sized room. The breakfast room/lounge is nicely decorated and has comfy seating. The staff were all friendly, especially the wait staff in the lounge/bar area: We had purchased the traditional Harbin Sausages and bread for a quick lunch from an outside shop and wanted the sausages warmed up for us so we could eat in the room. The wait staff happily obliged and told us that we could eat the food in the lounge as long as we bought a drink. As we did not have plates/cutlery in the rooms, we were grateful for the offer. As with anywhere in China, a small tip goes a long way. There were only two things that I could complain about: 1) The king sized bed was actually 2 twin mattresses put together, and they were both pretty hard. The hard mattresses are not uncommon in China, but I expected different from an international hotel. 2) Not a big issue, but there was a gap (broken seal) between the tub and the wall which leaked water all over floor whenever the shower was used. Seeing as this could be fixed easily with some caulk/silicone, I don't understand why it hasn't been taken care of. I would recommend this hotel to any tourist visiting Harbin.
