Hot Springs Hotels in Jilin, China

The hotel's location is a bit remote, but that's typical for hot spring hotels. I communicated with the front desk a few days before arrival. I sent them my high-speed rail information and scheduled a pickup at Changbaishan Station. So, despite the somewhat remote location, the hotel's shuttle service was excellent. The front desk staff were also very good. When I arrived, I had intended for the front desk to book a rafting trip for me, but it turned out the hotel's contract with the rafting company had expired, so we had to sort it out ourselves. (I had inquired with the front desk a week prior, and they said it could be arranged there. I was surprised to find upon arrival that the hotel had just canceled its contract with the rafting company.) I want to be clear, I'm not blaming the hotel; it was just bad luck. I do hope the hotel can continue to assist out-of-towners in the future, as foreigners often face difficulties booking things in China without local phone numbers. I wanted to see Tianchi Lake, but it was closed all three days I was there. Rafting was also out. So, I ended up staying at the hotel. However, I enjoyed several hot spring baths, visited the gym, and the hotel can also arrange skiing for you. We didn't go skiing because we had elderly people with us. So, staying at the hotel wasn't bad at all. There are only two restaurants: a Korean restaurant and the hotel's buffet. The food was good, but the dinner shrimp seemed to be limited. I arrived at 7:30 PM and only got two shrimp, while my dad got five. Then there were none left, and the restaurant staff didn't replenish them. The room was very large and clean. I particularly liked the rooms at this hotel. The hot spring has both indoor and outdoor sections. I might return in the future.

The room facilities are complete and spacious enough, and the bedding is very clean and odor-free. The service is warm and attentive! The breakfast is plentiful, and every dish is worth trying. Unlike other star hotels where the food is bland, the dishes here taste absolutely amazing! The hot spring area deserves a huge thumbs-up; there are all sorts of pools, and the water quality is top-notch. There are outdoor pools of various sizes, and there's even a pool where you can swim. Next time I come to Changbai Mountain, I definitely have to stay here again.

I really need to write a thorough review for this one! First and foremost, a huge thank you to my butler, James Mu Xueman. She's an absolutely wonderful young lady – so attentive, responsible, and kind. As a mom from the south, bringing my child to Wanda for skiing, my kid had a full and happy time staying here for several days. Skiing, playing in the snow, and soaking in the hot springs were all fantastic. The JinHua Resort Hotel is incredibly, unbelievably convenient. I originally booked the Park Hyatt, but then I heard from others that it was a bit far from the ski town. I'm so glad I switched to JinHua! The price was half that of the Park Hyatt, and most importantly, it couldn't be more convenient when traveling with kids – the ski center and restaurants in town are right next door! The room view was also super good. Xueman saw that I liked honey, so she had the housekeeper send up a few more bottles – one a day, making every day sweet! The room was also very clean, and the bed was huge. Even though it was more expensive over the Chinese New Year holiday, the included ski benefits and many other entertainment options made it really worth it. We hired three one-on-one ski instructors, and my child learned very quickly, always wanting more skiing each day. I will definitely choose JinHua Resort Hotel again for my next visit! I hope I'll get to meet Xueman again!

I booked a Stone Age-themed room, which my kids absolutely loved and had a blast playing in. The complimentary hot spring tickets were a fantastic value. From the moment I got off the bus and walked through the gate, I felt the service was exceptional. The doorman, the front desk, and even staff I didn't recognize were all incredibly welcoming and helpful. The infinity pool inside the hot springs was stunning, the food was reasonably priced, and the bath attendants were incredibly helpful, offering helpful guidance on every floor. Ms. Lin Haixia was especially helpful. She was my lucky star. I was just worried about getting a return ticket, and she just chatted with me and got a notification on her phone that she had been put on the waiting list. So lucky!

Every year when I return to Tonghua to visit family, I always stay at the Wanfeng Beichen Wuzhou Crown Hotel. The hotel is quiet, spacious, comfortable, and clean. Outside the window, I see rolling mountains, a sea of greenery, and the air is wonderful. The service is also excellent. It would be even better if the king-size rooms had refrigerators.

Our last stop on this trip to Northeast China was Changbai Mountain, and after checking online reviews, we chose this Crowne Plaza hotel with real hot springs. The service was truly exceptional, exceeding our expectations. Even before we arrived, our dedicated concierges set up three service groups, providing thoughtful guidance on check-in, shuttle times for the ski resort and Changbai Mountain scenic area, and family-friendly activities at the hotel. Any issues that arose during our stay were immediately addressed and resolved beyond our expectations, which made everything so stress-free! It was our first time traveling with our child, and we truly felt taken care of. After skiing, we were promptly given warm herbal tea, and in the afternoon, we'd return to the room to find a thoughtful welcome fruit platter. After soaking in the hot springs, the housekeeping staff even washed our wet swimsuits and returned them to our room right away. Finally, at the end of our trip, the hotel provided a free shuttle to the high-speed rail station. Since our departure time coincided with lunchtime, our concierges, anticipating that we might be on the road and unable to eat, prepared sandwiches and fruit for us. We were incredibly touched! Seeing that we had a child, they even treated our little one to a complimentary chocolate ice cream before we left. It was truly a moment filled with happiness, and our child was absolutely thrilled, insisting that I bring him back next year. It was genuinely wonderful! A special, special thank you to our concierges: Shan Yue, Yue Bai, and Yun Duo. We wish you all the best in the new year! If you're traveling with children like me, I highly recommend staying here! After your hot spring soak, you absolutely must try 'Dayi's body scrub' – it's a new world experience! Facilities: The hotel's decor is decent and standard; it's not brand new but very clean. Hygiene: The hygiene was excellent.

The experience at Changbai Mountain Guoxin Siji Hot Spring Hotel was superb, I genuinely recommend it! I booked a king-sized room, and it was exceptionally spacious and airy with a comfortable, unconfining layout and plenty of natural light. I felt instantly at ease upon checking in. The room facilities were brand new and complete, with convenient smart home controls throughout, making everything effortless. The bathroom and bedding were of high quality, and the cleanliness was impeccable, ensuring a comfortable and pleasant stay. The biggest surprise was the exclusive butler service; they were incredibly responsive and attentive, whether it was for travel inquiries or coordinating requests, they replied instantly and were thorough and thoughtful throughout, completely freeing me from any worries. The hotel's location is excellent, close to the North Slope Scenic Area and the Magic World Rafting. Plus, there's complimentary access to natural hot springs. The extensive amenities and great value for money make this my top choice for my next visit to Changbai Mountain!

The facilities and equipment are very complete, the sanitation is very clean, and the environment is very good. The staff on the first floor are very enthusiastic and will come back often.

This was my second stay at a Wanda property. Because hotel prices were much higher than usual at Wanda during Chinese New Year, I opted for the Sheraton instead, even though two nights still cost nearly 7,000 RMB. But to my surprise, I was disappointed in every aspect… Firstly, on February 16th, as soon as I entered the lobby, I saw guests arguing with hotel staff. I wasn't sure about the specific reason, but I already had a bad feeling. Secondly, February 16th was Chinese New Year's Eve. My family of three was watching the Spring Festival Gala in the room, and when we tried to pull down the shower curtain, it was broken. After reporting it, we found that even when the curtain was down, it was still see-through… I nearly fainted! This might be okay for couples, but if you're traveling with friends or family with kids, wouldn't that be incredibly awkward? Then, when we were ready to sleep that night, we discovered an issue with the toilet – there was a constant dripping sound, which was driving me crazy. It was Chinese New Year and the middle of the night, so I decided to deal with it the next day. I communicated with the hotel concierge in the morning but never heard back about a resolution. After breakfast, I had to speak to the front desk myself to get a room change… It was a huge hassle, moving from one end of the hotel to the other (a very long walk, dragging suitcases for 10 minutes, and taking two different elevators). The most ridiculous part was that this concierge, after we checked in, enthusiastically recommended various paid activities to us, and we even booked some through him… Ha! During Chinese New Year, I didn't want to ruin our trip or make things difficult for the staff who were still working. So, I tried to keep my negative emotions to myself. However, an old, established hotel, even if it's been open for a long time, isn't excused from all problems. Proper equipment maintenance and staff quality training are just basic operational necessities, aren't they? If they only think about making money from customers' pockets without any sincerity, how far can they really go?

Normally, when I book a B&B, I always check how the owner responds to negative reviews. If they put a lot of effort into addressing and resolving issues, the experience is usually pretty good. The hotel's breakfast quality was on point, with fruit, salad, and pastries available in the mornings. It got a bit repetitive after three days, but the taste was still good. The shuttle service for getting around was super convenient, and they proactively helped with luggage. Despite temperatures of -20 to -30 degrees Celsius, the water in the hot tub was around 40 degrees, but my head was freezing and aching! The B&B's hot spring pool isn't really suitable for photos, and it was just too cold to actually enjoy a soak. They really tried their best to meet all our requests though!
