JI Hotel (Harbin Central Avenue Sophia Square)

JI Hotel (Harbin Central Avenue Sophia Square)

📍 No. 160 Shangzhi Street, Daoli District, Harbin
★★★ 9.8 (66 reviews)

"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."

It's only five minutes from the second campus, and there are a generous 100 parking spaces right in front, so finding a parking spot is no problem at all. The service details showed their sincerity. I'll definitely come back to Harbin again; this will feel like home.

Excellent value for money, with top-notch service, facilities, and location—five stars! Highly recommended!"

Wanda Realm Harbin Hotels in Harbin

Wanda Realm Harbin

"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....)"

Yiyuan Hotel (Harbin Central Avenue Pedestrian Street Zhuozhan)

"As someone from Northeast China, this hotel is absolutely perfect! The only minor drawback was that the room didn't have a window, but everything else was excellent. The hotel is integrated with a bathhouse, so staying here means free access to the communal baths downstairs. After a long day of sightseeing, a soak and a massage are incredibly relaxing – something a quick shower in your room at other hotels just can't compare to. Plus, the bathhouse even offers a complimentary fruit buffet. The hotel's location is also fantastic, very close to Central Street, and the overall service and environment are great. All the amenities and facilities are well-equipped. Because of this hotel, my family and I decided to stay an extra night in Harbin. All in all, it offers extremely high value for money. Highly recommended!!!"

The hygiene and service were both satisfactory, and they even gave us a souvenir when we checked out. Definitely worth a visit!"

"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!"

Novotel Harbin Zhongyang Street ★★★★
"Facilities: Great, the beds and decor were very comfortable. Having a dryer and washing machine was also super convenient. The breakfast was very rich and satisfying; if you don't feel like going to the morning market, having a leisurely breakfast at the hotel is also a great option. Hygiene: Super clean. It's clear they put a lot of effort into maintaining cleanliness. They provide an ultra-fast hairdryer that dries hair really well, much better than the old-fashioned ones. Environment: It's right next to St. Sophia Church, and the Daoli vegetable market is just beside it, so there are plenty of food options. If you're not used to local cuisine, the surrounding commercial facilities are well-developed, with places like Mixue Ice Cream & Tea and McDonald's easily accessible. It's also very close to Central Street."

Xueli Hotel (Harbin West High-speed Railway Station Wanda Plaza) ★★★★
"## Facilities: Since the hotel is located on the upper floors of a mall, the water pressure is quite low, which is understandable. However, the drain odor was a significant issue. They've installed anti-odor valves in the drains, which unfortunately makes the water drain extremely slowly. I had to manually clear it myself in the middle of a shower. ## Environment: The environment was okay. However, smoking bans seem to be poorly enforced throughout Harbin, and people were smoking in the hotel hallways, making it difficult to breathe. I reported it to the front desk, but they were completely unresponsive, probably used to it. ## Hygiene: It was acceptable. ## Service: The service was… interesting. Because there was a wedding party picking up the bride in the hotel in the morning, which caused some disturbance, they gave each guest a portable nail clipper kit. When the three of us got back and opened them, some had two nail clippers, some had one, and some had none at all. Quite amusing."
