Hostels in Heilongjiang, China

The atmosphere here is great, filled with young people from all corners of the world. It's a bunk bed dorm with curtains for privacy. Inside, there's a charging port and a small shelf for your belongings, plus two hooks. When you check in, you'll need to make your own bed with the provided sheets, duvet cover, and pillowcase, and return them to the front desk when you leave. The location is excellent, right on Central Avenue, just a short walk to the subway station, and there's a convenience store nearby. Meals are prepared in the communal kitchen. The room itself is relatively quiet. However, there are activities in the common area as late as 11 PM, and if your dorm mates don't close the door properly, it can get quite noisy. If you're an early sleeper or concerned about getting a good night's rest, you should definitely keep this in mind.

Upon arrival, the security guard on the first floor helped me carry my luggage up to the 4th floor. After checking in, the staff member meticulously explained where the laundry room, co-working space, restrooms/showers, and drying area were located. This is my first time staying in a hostel where everything was explained so thoroughly – it was incredibly thoughtful! The room has its own private bathroom for washing up, using the toilet, and showering. The laundry facilities are separate for men and women, include a dryer, and are completely free – another first for me, staying in a hostel with free washing machines! The co-working space is huge, and they even offer free earplugs, drinks, candies, and small cookies. I'll definitely stay here again next time!

If you're planning to visit the Harbin Ice and Snow World, remember to purchase spikes at the counter (8 YUAN). It's affordable and can prevent falls and injuries. Unfortunately, I slipped on the ice and badly hurt my ankle. Luckily, there's a nearby hospital, Harbin Shengfeng Hospital, just a 10-15 minute walk away (you can use Google Maps). The doctors there are helpful, but they don't speak English, so bring your passport and use Google Translate if needed. On a brighter note, I really enjoyed staying at this hostel. They have a large mirror and a hot water station where you can prepare instant noodles. Although they don't have a kitchen, you can easily get utensils and a mug from nearby convenience stores, especially if you're planning to make coffee. One thing I found really convenient was the international charger ports provided for each bed. Before checking out, remember to strip your bed and leave a note in the lobby to indicate your presence. I left a Malaysian flag as my mark.

The location of the hotel is very good, extending in all directions. The boss is very good, hospitable, the room is spacious and warm, the facilities are complete, and the price is very high.

The lady boss is very kind and helpful. The location is good, close to Central Street. There is also the Baiyi Market nearby for shopping, eating, visiting attractions and churches. It is very convenient.

I had a very satisfying stay. Even though the room was a bit small, the air conditioning was fantastic. Harbin has been sweltering hot these past few days, and it would have been unbearable without the AC. Conveniently, there's a BBQ restaurant right downstairs, which was perfect for grabbing a late-night bite if I got back late. The staff were also very accommodating; any problems were resolved quickly and efficiently. Overall, I was very pleased with my stay.

This is a fun hostel; the walls and windows of the room are covered with witty sayings. The bedding is clean and hygienic, so I can get a good night's sleep; the showerhead has a strong and warm water flow, making for a comfortable shower; the toilet and hair dryer are also very functional. It's a hostel I like, and I would definitely stay here again.

1️⃣Location: The place is easy to find. I took a bus from the train station and the bus driver can drop you off directly downstairs of the hostel. It is super convenient! 2️⃣Environment: The travel atmosphere is also very strong. From downstairs, stairs, corridors, you can see graffiti drawn by travelers from all over the world, as well as messages from travelers in 2014. I heard that this youth hostel has been open for more than ten years, but it is not shabby at all. The environment is very clean. There is a lobby, a public activity area, a bed room, a single room, a double bed room, and a Northeast-style big fire bed, the kind of earthen kang that is really burned with fire. I also saw the boss burning fire for the guests that day. It was a very novel experience 3️⃣Activities: Going to Dongji Square to watch the sunrise and to Hei** Island are both far away, so you must have a car. Friends who don’t drive don’t have to worry. You can directly find Guanshu to sign up for a one-day carpooling tour. You don’t even need to make a guide. He will take you to all the attractions in Fuyuan in one stop, including Dongji sunrise, the first outpost in the East, Wusu Town, Hezhe National Village, the easternmost post office, Hei** Island, cranberry base... You can also have authentic Northeast breakfast and authentic Hezhe fish noodle soup. The price for carpooling is also very cost-effective, only 100 yuan, and it also comes with a free travel commentary. Along the way, I can listen to Uncle Guan introducing the local scenery and culture. The explanation is detailed and rich in content. It is equivalent to not only hiring a chartered driver, but also a professional tour guide. It is such a good deal! 4️⃣Service: Brother Yang at the front desk is very nice, humorous and enthusiastic. When he saw that my suitcase was very large, he took the initiative to help me carry my luggage. He was super considerate! He is gentle and doesn't talk much, but whenever there is a problem or issue, he is the first person you turn to for help. He is almost always in the store, which makes people feel at ease! ! 5️⃣The significance of staying in a youth hostel is not only that it is cheap, but more importantly, you can find people to share cars, play together, and eat together. The dishes in Northeast China are generally large in quantity, and it is difficult to order dishes when there are few people. It is also a waste if you order too much and cannot finish the food. Therefore, Guan Shu will help organize friends to share meals together, eat Northeastern dishes, eat iron pot stews, etc. There are rich dishes when there are many people, and the AA price is also very cost-effective. 6️⃣Fuyuan characteristics: fish! Here you can find three or five friends and have a fish feast together. Wow, the taste is so blissful. There are more than a dozen fish dishes on the table, in various ways, fried, pan-fried, steamed, braised, fish ball soup, sashimi. You can eat anything you can't think of, hahahaha (Friendly reminder: the dishes here are generally salty, so those who prefer light taste should remember to greet the chef in advance) 7️⃣Finally, I have to praise Uncle Guan separately. He is super considerate, warm-hearted, and considerate of everything. Travelers who come to stay in the hotel can contact him and he can arrange all your problems for you, from plane/train pick-up, to sightseeing in Fuyuan, tasting food, to all the companionship during the trip. He will make you feel particularly thoughtful and warm. He is simply our Fuyuan know-it-all! ! ! There is no one else in Fuyuan who can be as thorough as him. He is also an old child with a childlike innocence. He can chat and play with us young people. He is enthusiastic but reserved, humorous but not ostentatious. He is like the respected uncle in the family. He is calm and reliable, but not distant. People want to get close to him and he is trustworthy.

Friends who come to travel alone can come and experience it. I just arrived early, and the landlord arranged an early check-in for me, so that my tired body and mind can get a rest. If you want to travel, the landlord will also enthusiastically provide tour routes. This place is relatively close to Central Street and St. Sophia Cathedral. There is a direct bus downstairs, and it takes about ten minutes by taxi. It is recommended to form a group to go to the Ice and Snow World in winter. I came here in autumn and have no say. I will comment next time. When I am free, I will also organize a reunion or go there to exercise and relax. The network is also very fast. The landlord is a very clean person. You can also meet different friends here. Overall, it gives people a good feeling.

The biggest plus for this hostel is its excellent location. You can see it right when you exit the Central Avenue subway station, just across the street. This location makes it super convenient to get anywhere. The hostel is located inside a courtyard, which makes it a bit hidden, but the rooms themselves are really good and clean. The owner is also very friendly and polite.
