5-Star Hotels in Heilongjiang, China

The location is absolutely superb! It's literally right outside Exit 1 of Metro Line 3. The Songhua River Cableway station is just across the street, and the riverside is a mere 2-3 minute stroll away. Central Street and the Flood Control Memorial Tower are both within a 5-minute walk. The room was very spacious, and the hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Everything was spotlessly clean, and they thoughtfully provided earplugs and an eye mask. Breakfast was a bit pricey; although there was a wide variety, the taste was nothing special. One minor detail: the hallway door partially blocks the guest elevator.

On my first visit to Harbin, this hotel, which I discovered by chance, was an absolute delight. It boasts an incredibly convenient location for tourists, offers nearly all-day afternoon tea, and a meticulously prepared breakfast featuring both à la carte and buffet options. The service truly rivals that of luxury brands like Four Seasons and Banyan Tree. What particularly stood out was the thoughtful gesture of neatly tying up phone cables after room cleaning – a small detail I had only ever seen before at the Regent Chongqing. We booked a garden room with a private courtyard, and the small patio at the entrance was absolutely charming. The public courtyard is also ideal for outdoor tea and relaxation. Furthermore, the customer service manager and all staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. They were extremely knowledgeable about Harbin's dining scene and were able to recommend the most unique and authentic restaurants to guests. They even thoughtfully prepared a small farewell gift upon our departure. This is truly a fantastic hotel, worth revisiting two or even three times! I've already recommended it to many friends.

The Ritz-Carlton is essentially the go-to choice for hotels in Harbin. Not that it's perfect, but frankly, hotel options in Harbin are quite limited. The Shangri-La feels too old and dated, and I wasn't keen on staying across the Songhua River, as the Songbei area seems to lack the quintessential urban charm of Harbin. So, the Ritz-Carlton it was. To be honest, while both the Ritz and Shangri-La are situated by the Songhua River, the Ritz's surroundings genuinely lack proper dining options. The area felt quite desolate and lonely. The only truly comforting and enjoyable aspect of staying here was the vibrant cityscape bustling with traffic and illuminated by countless lights when viewed from a high floor at night. Gazing at the night view and chatting, a sense of contentment naturally arises. That's why I gave this hotel a full score. Of course, I do have a few minor points of feedback, hoping the hotel can make some improvements. This is just my personal opinion and may not represent other guests. 1. The toothbrush bristles were excessively hard, to the point of being able to pierce one's gums. 2. Toothbrushes should ideally be color-coded. When two people stay, having identical toothbrushes makes it very inconvenient to distinguish them. Providing 'his and hers' sets with different colors is standard practice for hotels, yet the Ritz-Carlton surprisingly missed this basic detail. 3. The cotton swab sticks were too flimsy. When trying to clean my ears after a shower to remove water, the stick bent with just a light touch. Even the cheapest cotton swabs shouldn't use such a fragile material. 4. The shampoo was extremely unpleasant to use. This is subjective and not a major issue. 5. A crucial area for improvement is the service. The front desk staff seemed to lack a genuine customer-centric mindset or perhaps management has not empowered them sufficiently. Despite their smiling faces, they often delivered rather insensitive remarks. Moreover, breakfast staff frequently cleared plates at extremely inappropriate times, completely disregarding whether guests were still eating or in the middle of a conversation. 6. Non-guests were roaming freely, playing music loudly on their phones, and children were opening paid snacks from the mini-fridge and eating them endlessly, all without any staff intervention. Meanwhile, actual hotel guests did not receive the attentive and comprehensive service they deserved. 7. For the breakfast wontons, perhaps use a little less filling. Even the staff cooking them felt the current filling was difficult to cook through. With so many guests waiting, it's naturally hard to cook wontons that contain something like a meatball inside. Additionally, the chef really needs to improve the wonton filling, making it juicier and more tender. A tough, dense filling is neither easy to cook nor pleasant to eat. If the chef prepares a tender, flavorful filling, and the wonton-wrapping staff use just a bit less, the wontons would be both easy to cook and delicious.

The hotel boasts an excellent location. A wonderful staff member at the front desk thoughtfully prepared a detailed travel guide, and the hotel has also designed unique cultural souvenirs. This truly showcases the establishment's deep commitment and love for the city, reflecting the inherent quality of a high-end brand. The view from the window is stunningly picturesque: the sunset casts a dazzling glow upon the Songhua River. Sun Island is visible in the distance, and the cable car floats gracefully across the river in the clear blue sky – all these sights are easily enjoyed just by stepping out of the hotel. A leisurely stroll along the riverbank, admiring Harbin's unique Chinese Baroque architecture, effortlessly leads you to attractions like Central Street and St. Sophia Cathedral. Indulging in long-missed Guobaorou, Dazhazi porridge, and Harbin Red Sausage, it's clear that Harbin and Shangri-La form the perfect combination for a refreshing summer retreat.

The room amenities were new and well-maintained. The location was excellent, conveniently close to the subway station and practically right next to the Harbin Ice and Snow World. The staff were incredibly warm and provided exceptional service, even upgrading our room. The front desk was always helpful, answering all our questions and responding quickly. Our room offered a magnificent panoramic view of the majestic Songhua River, which was truly refreshing, with the Harbin skyline and Sun Island clearly visible. It was genuinely an unforgettable stay.

We had a very good experience staying in Yabu Loni Hotel at Yabuli. We were pleasantly surprised by the warm reception we receive from our hotel guide 初长月. She assisted us to check into our hotel room early which allow us to settle in quickly. Arranging for ski lessons and equipment was also a breeze with her help. Her enthusiasm, energy and smile is something that makes our stay so much fun and enjoyable. And she is always just a call away. As for the hotel room, it is a little dated but nevertheless still very clean and nice. I would certainly hope that they can improve on the breakfast, the range is pretty limited. The location of the hotel is fantastic and it is just right besides the cable car that bring you to the top of the ski resort. It is also right next to Club Med.

This is the oldest building I've ever stayed in. Its 1903 elevator is one of only two operational century-old elevators in China, the other being at the Waldorf Astoria on the Bund in Shanghai. I initially thought I wouldn't like this style, but beyond the lobby's dazzling, opulent gold leaf decor, the rooms were surprisingly comfortable with their low-saturation palette of grey-green, brown, and gold. The velvet wallpaper, with its shifting shades depending on the light, demonstrated excellent taste. The service was excellent; we received welcome drinks upon arrival and welcome fruit in the room. Staff members also shared insights into the hotel's history and the lobby's decor. The location is prime, right next to Central Street and Central Mall. Yet, being on Dongfeng Road, which intersects Central Street, it remains relatively quiet. If I had to nitpick, it would be that, due to it being a century-old building with plumbing limitations, hot water takes a few minutes to come through. Additionally, the TV wasn't working, but it didn't bother me, so I didn't ask staff for assistance.

I rarely leave reviews, but Junyi compelled me to make an exception and write a glowing one. It was an incredibly refreshing and rejuvenating stay. After browsing many hotels, I ultimately chose Junyi, and I was met with pleasant surprises from the moment I checked in until I checked out. The front desk staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The check-in process was efficient and considerate, and they even proactively offered information on local attractions and routes. The attention to detail was absolutely impeccable. The room was spotlessly clean, and the bedding was soft and luxurious against the skin – I instantly felt my travel fatigue melt away upon lying down. The separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom were thoughtfully designed. The breakfast spread was extensive, featuring a wide variety of hot dishes, pastries, and beverages. The food tasted authentic and delicious, and starting the day feeling completely satisfied and energized made me ready for my activities. Upon checking out, the staff warmly bade me farewell, making me feel as if I was saying goodbye to dear friends. Next time I visit this city, I will definitely choose Junyi Hotel again!

It had been 7 years since my last visit to Harbin, and I still love the city. We were incredibly pleased with the hotel, especially since it was our child's careful selection. The hotel contacted us two hours before our arrival. Upon arrival, as our room wasn't quite ready, the wonderful front desk staff immediately offered us a complimentary upgrade to a family room. Our little one was absolutely thrilled with the room, spending ages playing with the ball pit and slide. The hotel was spotless, which was especially reassuring when traveling with a child. The staff at breakfast were also incredibly thoughtful and attentive. This hotel truly made our Harbin trip start on a high note. We'll definitely be back next time!

Best stay ever for me! Everything from the front desk to the housekeeping was great! I arrived quite early than the usual time but was given early in.. the benefits was explained clearly when checking in. Location wise is near a huge shopping mall, other than that its also near to tourist areas. You can even arrange for free pick up service to drive you to either central street or snow world and city. They also can arrange to have the driver to wait for you at the location you dropped off. There are 2 reindeer to greet you at selected timing. Even witness one of it shredding it's antlers! There are also free coke and Sprite and local drink in their mini bar. Unlimited free flow of night food from 10pm-12 midnight, legit nice beef noodle that I had 3 bowls. There are also free drinks and other local delicious food . For breakfast although I didn't get it, it's until 1pm lol, not a typo. Never heard before any hotel we have breakfast till 1pm. I was told this is because the owner know when we visit harbin we will stay up late, if it's the usual 10am you might miss your breakfast.same for those who need to get up early and still be able to come back to eat If you book those 72 square meter room they even provide free car rental. Yes all free, just have to top up the fuel, with this benefits you would've save a lot of money. Special should out to driver wangxin(王新) he drove me to snow world and walked there, even beyond the selected timing because he knows that it will be hard to take taxi back to hotel at late timing. He was also very passionate to introduce all the major location on the way. I was really glad to have met someone like him. Definitely a 5 stars for me!
