"Every week, I take my kids to a hotel for a relaxing getaway. This week, I chose a hotel with a small courtyard, right next to Central Avenue. The location is absolutely superb – it's directly behind Central Mall. You can walk out of the hotel and be on Central Avenue in just 2 minutes. There are parking spaces available right in front of the hotel; just contact the front desk in advance to reserve one. The service was excellent and very thoughtful; every staff member was incredibly enthusiastic. The food was also fantastic. Dinner offered a rich variety of choices, and the afternoon tea was refreshing, delightful, and relaxing. In the evenings, they even served late-night wontons and brought fruit and snacks to the room. The room facilities were complete, and everything was clean, with great soundproofing. I booked a family room, which came with various amenities and toys for children. It was a very satisfying stay, especially the small courtyard – it was so comfortable!"

The hotel lobby is on the 6th floor, while the rooms are located between the 16th and 22nd floors. The elevators are a bit slow and small.

"The location is so near food and attractions! Really glad I booked this hotel. You can directly see songhua river and join in the snow and ice carnival! It is also a short 10-15mins walk to the songhua river Bridge, and 2 mins walk to Wanda plaza. I would book here again if I am going harbin again."

Rezen Dong Hotel (Long Ta International Convention and Exhibition Center Subway Station Branch)

"Among hotels in the same price range, this one is truly a winner! The price is affordable, but the service and ambiance are top-notch. The room was much larger than I expected and even had a quiet mini-fridge, which was very convenient. Transportation is also convenient; it's only a 10-minute walk to the subway station. The value for money is off the charts, and I've already recommended it to my friends who are visiting!"

"Compared to the cheap, trendy, fast-food standard rooms near Central Street that cost just 600-700 RMB per room, the family rooms here are truly top-notch! And the amenities are on par with many five-star hotels! They'll definitely be my top choice next time I visit!"

Yiyuan Hotel (Harbin Central Avenue Pedestrian Street Zhuozhan)

"1. I checked into Yiyuan Hotel on the 26th and booked a room for four days, checking out on the 30th. After check-in, the front desk clerk only gave me the room card. When I went upstairs, I realized I didn't have my ID. I went downstairs to get it from her, and she didn't even apologize. 2. The next day, I was out all day. When I came back at night, my room card wouldn't open the door. I went downstairs to ask the front desk clerk, and she said the card needed to be swiped daily. I booked for four days, so why do I need to swipe it every day? Why didn't they tell me about this daily swipe when I checked in? I was exhausted after a whole day out and had to go back downstairs. 3. I usually don't pay a deposit when booking hotels through Ctrip, but this one charged a 100 deposit. 4. My room wasn't cleaned daily. I had to ask them to clean it, and on the 28th, I had to ask twice before they came. 5. The bathroom fan wasn't working well, and there was a strong, unpleasant odor that wouldn't go away. 6. The room card couldn't be used to operate the elevator. Every time I came back or went downstairs to pick up takeout, I had to ask a staff member to swipe the elevator for me, which was extremely inconvenient. Every time I thanked the staff, but they never responded. 7. The hotel is listed as 'Zhuozhan Branch, Central Avenue' but it's actually three bus stops away from Central Avenue and then a further 900-meter walk. This is purely misleading to customers. I suggest that Ctrip platform strengthen its review process for such listings."

"the hotel was great value for the price and has a few excellent points. Location is easy to get to the airport and ok for the winter attractions. Rooms are nice, though are showing their age. The facilities (gym/pool) we decided to avoid; they don't offer the resort or relaxation of other five star hotels. Food was consistently good and the club lounge is easily one of the best decors I've found. The service was consistently good from checkin especially. I would stay here again if Im in Harbin, but I would stress that I have allergies to try and get a real smoke-free room (our bathroom....)"

Harbin Central Street Habsburg Hotel (Sofia Church) ★★★★★
"The concierge service in the river view room was superb, even better than a five-star hotel. The breakfast was fantastic, surpassing five-star hotels with an abundance of delicious options. The best part is that breakfast is served until 12 PM, which is perfect for late risers like me. They even had ice cream and Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles! After checking out from the Ritz-Carlton Harbin, I came here. Although the room's hardware is comparable to a budget hotel, the service from everyone at the hotel was consistently excellent. We received a welcome gift before checking in and a souvenir after checking out – how many five-star hotels offer that? This family-friendly hotel is great, the European-style decor is beautiful, and from the river view room, you can actually see the river!"

"Located in a lively area, with the morning market within walking distance. The room was decent, and the service was excellent. The afternoon tea was a bit less impressive than last year, but after mentioning it to the staff, they quickly brought out more cakes. This is my second consecutive year coming here, and it's still a good experience."

Novotel Harbin Zhongyang Street ★★★★
"The hotel just opened, so all the facilities are brand new. All guest rooms are located on the 16th floor and above, offering expansive views. From the panoramic view rooms, you can open the window and enjoy a full view of the church, which looks like a fairytale world when lit up at night. It's only about a 10-minute walk from Central Street, and right across the street is the Daokou wet market. Given the dry northern climate, they thoughtfully provide humidifiers and air purifiers. The King Koil mattress is perfectly firm yet soft, and the entire room features smart voice control. The automatic curtains and screen-casting TV add a futuristic touch. The bathroom has a dry and wet separation, excellent water pressure, and high-quality toiletries. As for the hotel service, it's absolutely outstanding! 👍👍👍"

Xueli Hotel (Harbin West High-speed Railway Station Wanda Plaza) ★★★★
"I've stayed here twice now. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the young ladies at the front desk are incredibly helpful. The first time I visited, they gave me frozen pears, and the second time, I even got a small towel. These thoughtful details really warm my heart. Shopping is super convenient with direct elevator access to the mall, and there are tons of restaurants nearby. It's also a very short walk to the high-speed train station, and the hotel even offers a pick-up service from there. This is definitely my top choice whenever I visit Harbin. My friends are coming this weekend, and I'm booking here again for them!"

JI Hotel (Harbin Central Avenue Sophia Square) ★★★
"This was my first time in Harbin, and I wanted a hotel that was conveniently located for all the attractions and had new facilities. That's why I chose this Hanting Premium hotel. **Location:** It's right next to Central Street, making it super easy to walk to Saint Sophia Cathedral and the river. I loved being able to explore and eat around the area multiple times a day. **Facilities:** The lobby is on the sixth floor, and guest rooms are on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors. Since it just opened this year, the facilities are brand new. However, there wasn't a strong 'new renovation' smell in the room. I hadn't planned on getting breakfast, intending to find local specialties at nearby markets, but during check-in, I was told about a promotion and added it. The breakfast was decent, but the congee (porridge) was extremely watery, more like rice water. When I asked, they said that's how it is. I'm not sure if that's a Harbin specialty. **Cleanliness:** The cleanliness was pretty good. On the second day, I noticed some areas hadn't been thoroughly cleaned the day before, but they fixed it immediately after I mentioned it. **Service:** The front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming."

Country Inn by Radisson, Central Street, Harbin ★★★
"The hotel's location is unbeatable, right at the entrance of Central Street. Turn right out of the hotel and you're there. A straight walk from there to Saint Sophia Cathedral is super convenient. There are many nice restaurants nearby too, like Qiulin Russian Restaurant, Laochujia Guobaorou, and Madieer Ice Cream Parlor… extremely convenient. The hotel provides breakfast, and while the variety isn't huge, the taste is good. Milk, soy milk, bread and jam, Chinese fried dough sticks, plain congee, and stir-fries – all delicious. My only slight regret is the limited fruit selection, just cherry tomatoes. Perhaps due to its prime location, the room wasn't very big. But it was perfectly fine for three people. It's small but has everything you need! I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Harbin!"
