Hotels near Xiaoling Railway Station, Harbin

This is a budget hotel and I asked for a budget room so my expectations were modest. However, what I received, was below modest from my experience. Room was warm enough and size was tight. Bed was ok but funny round shape. There was no division between bedroom and bathroom which made the shower experience too cold. Also I found a bug in the bathroom (alive). Location was very convenient, but even with that I wouldn’t repeat this hotel.

Location was perfect 👍🏻 we are right by 東正大街 and only 8 minutes drive away from Harbin Railway station. The room was pretty warm and clean I would have give it a 8 out of 10 until I turned on the washroom ventilation overnight, it started smell terrible in the morning … Besides that everything is ok, you just have to deal with all smoking rooms

Nice and not expensive place to stop when you have a night between flights in Harbin. The hotel is very close to the airport (5-7 minutes to drive), close to both terminals: 2 and international. The service is really good, they are always ready to help. The only issue is that foreign tourists can't pre-book shuttle bus in advance but should call to a hotel upon arrival instead, so the free shuttle bus can't be taken without help of locals (by the way, usual taxi will not work in those area, because local taxi drivers in Harbin airport trick foreigners at every step of the way and change routes and prices just on the way; so this is why the free shuttle bus to the hotel must be taken instead, not a taxi). This hotel has also a wechat account, but again you need to call them to check how to add it. I think if hotel solves the problem with the shuttle bus pre-booking for the foreign guests (maybe by email with confirmation?), it will get a lot of foreign visitors who stop for a night or two between flights. Other problems, like communication in English in the hotel, can be solved with the help of Google or Baidu translate...

One of the very satisfactory accommodations during this trip to Harbin; before I checked in, hotel customer service Alisa called me early to learn about the guests, room preferences, and any other special requirements in advance. She also asked for help during the check-in process. Regarding our opinions on the hotel, we actively asked if we would like to delay check-out before checking out. In short, the service was very warm and considerate! The room was prepared in advance before our family arrived at the hotel, and the forest oxygen bar room was thoughtfully upgraded. The PM2.5 in the room was dynamically detected in real time, and the greatest attention was paid to the health of the guests. The hotel swimming pool is very good, although it is not large. , but it is very well maintained and the water quality is exceptionally clear. Swimming in the pool is a great enjoyment for the body and mind!

The room appears much smaller than on the website but is adequate for solo travelling. Although water bottles was replaced daily, dirty tea cups were never removed or washed during my 4 day stay and I had to rinse them in the bathroom. The trash can was emptied every day but they do not make your bed. The shower head was broken and difficult to handle and the mattress topper was too big for the bed and kept slipping off. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was difficult in the sense that the hotel is situated in a very busy main road, with one way direction and few in between passes, meaning taxis must first drive quite far past the hotel before making a u-turn to turn back to drop you. The downside of using Didi's or taxi's are the rude and impatient drivers. They charged extra high fares during Christmas. We were often gridlocked in traffic, ending up walking back 2-4km to the hotel. Overall I was disappointed in the city itself. Many buildings were rundown and neglected with broken windos and peeled paint, that reminded me of *********************. Streets were very dirty and a nearby school did not make traffic congestion any easier when commuting forth and back to the hotel. Rumours that Christmas is not so busy and a better time to be visiting Harbin, is not true. The crowds spoiled the experience at Saint Sophia Church, especially the influencers who dressed up in ridiculous outfits posing in freezing temperatures at the church staircases and corners, spoiling any photography opportunities. Stalls and shops around the Church were very expensive. I visited a few other churches like St Aleksyev and Jile Temple which was far worth the effort. The highlight of my trip was Volga Manor, Baroque Street and the Songhua Railroad Bridge. Sun Island snow sculptures were very enjoyable, easy to navigate and not congested with people. Plenty of space to walk through the park, play in the snow and take the cable car over the river. The ques are not long from the Sun Island side, but crossing over to Harbin's side, the ques were very long to get a cable car. Danny's Beer in the Baroques Street area is a must visit and offered welcoming, warm and delicious food and hospitality. It's a 4,7km hike from the Songhua River bridge and offered good food at very reasonable prices. I did not visit the Ice sculpture park or light shows because of the three hour waiting cues, too many people and slippery conditions. The Tiger park was a so-so experience and mostly annoying due to people teasing the tigers with meat *****s they cannot reach; all for the sake of a photo opportunity. If you are an animal lover, rather skip the tiger Park. Lastly, a big plus was the public toilets near the Songhua River that were impressively clean.

During the peak tourist season, the price is very cost-effective. However, there are a few suggestions that the hotel can improve: (1) The water in the bathroom runs very slowly, and it reaches your feet after taking a shower. Need to be cleared. (2) The towel is actually directly next to the toilet, and it will splash when you urinate or flush. This is so jarring. It is recommended to install a towel rack above the bathtub away from the toilet. (3) The toothbrush is too difficult to use and irritates your hands.

I changed the hotel temporarily (the Lavande that was originally booked in advance was too noisy). The confirmation is very fast, and the order can be checked immediately at the hotel. Then I really want to blow up the hotel's service! ! ! Really great! ! ! First of all, when I joined the job, the boys and girls at the front desk were very patient and enthusiastic! Arranged a suitable floor for me and added breakfast for me. Then, I ordered a takeaway, because the takeaway was too big, the cleaning sister and the manager helped me deliver it upstairs. Really very very thank you. In the end the room was clean, quiet and well stocked. This time I stayed here and became a fan. I will come here next time I go to Harbin

Perfect location- on Airport Bus line 3 (just cross the road for bus from airport (tickets bought at airport counter) and bus stop in front for airport -tickets bought on bus), steps from Zhongyang Road, near Sophia Cathedral and walkable to the riverside to catch the cable car to Sun Island. Wanda Holiday Hotel behind Ibis. Room is impeccable- clean, kettle, good pressure hot water, heater, air-conditioning, comfy beds, quiet. Towel, toiletries, room slippers provided. No fridge but not required. Enough space for prayer. Staff all professionals and helpful even though none speaks English. Communication via translate app. Was able to check in at 1pm. Room cleaned daily. Breakfast is plenty. Left luggage at reception available. We booked our Yabuli tour at Katz Hostel, walkable 10 mins walk from Ibis and the 530am bus meeting point is literally 5 mins walk from Ibis, sweet! Mini market, bread shop just next door. Came for the Ice Festival but disappointed because for the very first time, the weather was already too hot, -10c in mid February (festival usually ends first week March). Also there is another Ibis on the same main road but 1km away. Definitely will stay again.

The room is large and the decoration style is very luxurious. The subway station is not far away. The service staff is very enthusiastic and the room service is very efficient. I am very satisfied. I will consider staying here next time.

Room is neat and tidy. Check in took a bit longer than usual, not sure if due to new staffs. Encourage hotel to practice first come first serve service to minimise neglect to customers. Hotel room is slightly smaller, once open 2 big luggage barely have space to walk. Snacks at the reception was good, always fully topped up. Overall still a great experience staying at this hotel. I like it because it's near to all the famous places at harbin.
