Harbin Daoli District Hotels

I booked the basic room type through Ctrip for 90 yuan. The room was on the basement level, requiring a walk down stairs. The room was large and spacious, but it was surrounded by walls, had no windows, and no connection to the outside. Don't expect an upgrade to a room with a window or on an upper floor if you book the basic room type through Ctrip. My companion had a leg injury and was limping in and out, but still had to climb the stairs to the basement level. I wouldn't recommend staying here if you're traveling with elderly people, sick individuals, or anyone with mobility issues. Late check-out isn't allowed; you must check out by 12 PM. Late check-out costs 35 yuan per hour, clearly priced. Ctrip also doesn't offer their own extended check-out until 2 PM. We stayed in room 9 on the basement level. The air conditioning wasn't working well; the buttons wouldn't activate it. The joint between the bathroom and the main room was damaged, and my companion slipped there after it got wet, though thankfully wasn't injured.

This hotel boasts an excellent location right by the Songhua River, within walking distance of the Flood Control Memorial Tower and Central Street. Getting around is super convenient, with a subway station directly across the road. The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast is a feast, offering a mix of Western and Chinese dishes, plus some delicious Northeastern specialties and pastries. The 3D-printed yogurt is a cute touch! Our room was spotless and tidy, and they even provided disposable towels and mouthwash. If I ever visit Harbin again, I'll definitely choose Hapsburg!

The service was excellent, and the room was incredibly clean. We got a complimentary upgrade to a fantastic room! I'll definitely be staying here again next time. They also have a free laundry room and gym, which is super nice and high-end. I highly recommend it to everyone!

This stay was fantastic! The hotel's location is superb, with easy access to transportation, and plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. The room was clean, comfortable, and cozy, with soft, skin-friendly bedding that ensured a great night's sleep every night. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, making check-in quick and efficient, and they even offered thoughtful local recommendations. A special shout-out to the housekeeping staff; they kept the room spotless every day and replenished supplies promptly. The breakfast spread was extensive, offering a good mix of Chinese and Western options to suit various tastes. I will definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit to the city!

I chose this hotel for an early morning flight because I'd stayed at one of their properties in another city before. As expected, all hotels in this chain have a similar style – quiet and with great amenities, making it a perfect choice for transit flights, whether early morning or late night. They have parking available, breakfast starts at 5:30 AM, and offer airport shuttle service. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

The location is super convenient, right on Central Street. The room was clean, tidy, and comfortable. The bed had just the right firmness. Breakfast was varied and delicious; I ate there for two days and didn't have the same thing twice. For supper, they offered congee (century egg and lean pork congee on the first night, plain congee on the second) along with millet congee and some small side dishes. When you're out exploring during the day, you can grab bottled drinking water from a small fridge at the reception. The in-room teapot, cups, and tray were a nice touch for enjoying tea. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

Came to Harbin and chose the Mercure Hotel near Central Street. I've stayed at several Huazhu Group brands before, and their quality and service are always guaranteed. This hotel has spacious rooms with a thoughtful design, including a separate walk-in closet, a large vanity in the bathroom, a smart toilet, and even a jewelry box – the attention to detail is impressive. The toiletries are an essential oil series, which is a nice touch. The hotel staff provide genuine service, actively asking about your needs and ensuring everything is taken care of. The location is super convenient for getting to Central Street, St. Sophia Church, the Provincial Museum, and the City Museum.

This stay far exceeded my expectations. The room was cozy, every corner was spotless, and the bedding was incredibly soft and skin-friendly – sleeping in it felt like being on a cloud. The front desk service was thoughtful and efficient, and they even proactively shared tips for getting around the area, showing great attention to detail. Overall, the value for money is excellent, and it's definitely on my list for a return visit.

This hotel has its pros and cons, but overall I'd recommend it. Service: The service was excellent – very responsive and enthusiastic. They provided children's slippers and toiletries. Initially, the AC in my room wasn't working well, so the manager upgraded me to a better room for free, which was a huge plus. I noticed that many women in Harbin are beautiful, whether at hotels, attractions, or even restaurants; their makeup is also lovely and elegant – another bonus. The afternoon tea was 'better than nothing,' but the breakfast was truly worth it. One morning, the stir-fried green beans with pork were incredibly fragrant and delicious – it was a pleasant surprise to have such fresh, 'wok hei' (breath of the wok) dishes early in the morning. Big points for that! Cleanliness: I'm not overly picky about details. As long as there's no obvious dirt, it's fine. The room and bedding were free of any strange odors. Environment: The location is fantastic, right at the entrance of Central Street. There's a subway station and an airport shuttle stop just a short walk away. The first picture shows the view from my window, where you can see St. Sophia Cathedral and the beginning of Central Street. Facilities: You can tell the hotel has been renovated from an older building. The bathroom and furnishings are decent, and the bed is comfortable. However, the window frames, door frames, and air conditioning are really poor. The second picture shows the bathroom door; the latch was broken, so it couldn't close properly. The AC switch looked like an antique, and the cooling was ineffective – it was the kind of temperature an elderly person who doesn't like AC would prefer. I had to run it on full blast all day to stay cool, but the airflow in my room was quite noisy, so I had to wear earplugs to sleep. Although I enjoyed the room upgrade and want to praise them, I did have to compromise on the temperature and noise. Perhaps the heating works better in winter?
