Mansion 1903 Hotel Reviews

My stay here was incredible! From the moment I got out of the taxi to arrive, to the moment I got in the taxi to leave, all of the staff went above and beyond in service to help me with my every need. The room and environment is very beautiful, like staying in a living museum. The hotel is close to Central Street and Sophia Square, making sightseeing very convenient, especially on a cold night. I will definitely stay here the next time I am in Harbin. This stay was unforgettable.

Great centrally located hotel. A must stay again in Harbin. Beautiful dinner served on our 1st night. Expensive,but well worth it.

Overall this is one of the best hotels i have stayed in. Rich cultural history and uniqueness. I shall put the negative part first before I put the positives at the end. Cleanliness I marked down because someone before me put flowers into the bathtub and there were random roses petals coming out of the knob that controlled the drainage of the bath tub. There were stains on the bathtub too. Location I put 5 but actually I would rate it 4.5. The street that the hotel is on is extremely crowded and jam in the late mornings to night. It is highly likely that you will be dropped off near the entrance of the street and need to walk in if you cab. We decided to use public transport and walk in instead on the second time we came to the hotel. But early in the morning it was relatively empty and the cab could come in to pick us up. It is very near the walking streets / zhong yang jie. There was an event literally outside our hotel area. Got a chimney bread plus ice cream on the same street as the hotel but is diagonally on the opposite right. This booking is for a lower tired room. But when we went there we were offered discounted upgrades. Not free but at least it wasn't the price stated. We upgraded to the highest tier, a suite with dedicated sitting area and bathtub. Celebrated my birthday here. They prepared a cake. It was delicious 😋 Many costumes to try but most were too big. For reference i am 152cm 48kg. I managed to find a blue and white costume with a matching hat that was more fitting so I could wear it out of the hotel room to take photos in the reception area. The toilet staircase, the chairs in the reception, outside the elevator, a backyard and the restaurant are nice places for photo taking. The ancient elevator closes at 5pm. I am not sure when it opens. The restaurant had a promotion on dianping or douyin. Recommended for 4 people. But portions are typically huge and if only 2 people come likely to waste. We met another couple on our trip and we decided to share. Non hotel guests can eat in the restaurant too. Just before we left, we had a door gift too^^

Good location next to the central street, classic building with lovely 100 years loft and music box. Pretty unique experience .

Excellent Location and Very friendly staff! The breakfast is awesome! Will definitely come back 👍🏼

First time travelling to Harbin, the service here went above and beyond. Every time we returned to the room, our bed was made and our clothes were freshly laundered. The hotel couldn't possibly have a better location, right in the heart of Harbin's walking street. The staff were pleasant and attentive, always greeting us in the morning. The breakfast at the restaurant was nice, not very western, but it was nice nonetheless.

Very interesting idea of this hotel - the interiors reminds you about the time when in this building was living a Grand Duke. Location is very convenient, the hotel is suited right on the walking Zhongyang Street, close walk to the river bank of Sungari Very clean cozy rooms, friendly personnel If you are planning to visit Harbin this hotel can be definitely your choice

When we arrived, we didn't really get a great energy instead we were welcomed by a lady who greeted us like as though our arrival was a disappointment to her. We feedback to the manager and she changed her attitude. But the experience was sort of tampered with because of that. They also have costumes below that you can wear around the lobby or even in your own room. Note that many costumes are not in good condition (Torn, Zipper not working). Overall the experience was still not too bad given its a historic hotel, and the elevator was cool.

Very good hotel In old Russian style. Great service and sensitive staff, best location.

As soon as you enter the hotel, you will find the splendid gold paper. 卫生：Go out to the right and you will find Central Street.one

The hotel is very palace style over 100 years old. The location is very convenient just off central Street. Breakfast is good but after having it for 4 days, seems a bit boring. The 100 year old lift and riding inside it is maybe once in a lifetime

Nice room, friendly staff. Wonderful stay. Highly recommend to try.

Very friendly and the room is spacious!
