Manxin Hotel Hotels in Harbin

Great location in the business district with plenty of small eateries and restaurants nearby. The room was cleaned promptly, and complimentary drinks were provided in addition to bottled water. Both the front desk staff and housekeepers were very welcoming. This will definitely be my top choice for future business trips to Harbin.

The hotel's location is truly unbeatable, right next to St. Sophia Cathedral. You can enjoy a direct view of the stunning church from the lobby, making it super convenient for sightseeing. The overall stay was great. The room was clean and tidy, and all the amenities were well-equipped. The hotel even has a self-service laundry room, which was a lifesaver for doing laundry on the go. The front desk and housekeeping staff were all very friendly, attentive, and had excellent attitudes. Breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of options to ensure you start your day well-fed and satisfied. The only minor drawback is that the room size is a bit small, just about enough for a short stay. If you're looking for a very spacious room, you might want to consider other options. I'd definitely recommend staying here when visiting Harbin.

The room size was sufficient, and the TV actually worked well. The soundproofing was excellent; it was quiet every night, and I couldn't hear the neighbors using their phones or watching TV. The curtains were exceptionally good at blocking out light – the room was still dark at 8:30 AM. The front desk staff were also very friendly; they even asked if I wanted a bottle of water when I checked out. The mini-fridge drinks were free and replenished once consumed. Breakfast was served until 11 AM, which is perfect for late risers. The restaurant isn't huge, but it has everything you need. The freshly made rice noodles (not regular noodles) were smooth and delicious, especially with the spicy meat sauce and vinegar – it really woke up my taste buds. The fried noodles were fragrant and savory, a little firm, just how I like them. I could eat a lot of them; they reminded me of the street food stalls I used to visit in Sanya over ten years ago. For kids, there were small wontons, braised pork rice, and dumplings, all satisfying. The vegetable salad looked visibly fresh, and items were replenished promptly. The small red cakes were delicious; I could easily eat four. All the breakfast options were shown in the pictures. There was plenty for everyone, from young to old, to have a satisfying meal. Of course, those with very high expectations for breakfast might find it a bit lacking, but for this price point, I think it's pretty good.

First of all, the hotel is easy to find, has private parking, and the staff are attentive, warm, and polite. They even came out to give us a souvenir when we checked out. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a more spacious and clean room with complimentary fruit. The toilet was also smart, and it's close to the Ice and Snow World by car. Everything was great, but why didn't I give it a full five stars? Because the air conditioning was off; there was only an electric heater. In Harbin, where it's below -20 degrees Celsius, the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the upgraded room let in drafts, and the lack of air conditioning was unbelievable. My hands and feet were freezing all night. I'm from Liaoning, and it's worse than my home with its underfloor heating; my home temperature is 26 degrees Celsius, while the hotel was only 21 degrees... Can anyone understand the despair of returning to the hotel after visiting the Ice and Snow World and not daring to take a hot shower?
