Antu Hotels with Kitchens

"🏞️ **Environment & Location: Excellent Scenery, Inconvenient Transportation** The hotel's biggest selling point is its location. * **Pros:** Located near the Changbaishan North Scenic Area, it's only about a 5-minute drive to the North Slope entrance. They offer a VIP access pass for the scenic area, which saves a lot of queuing time. Surrounded by forest, it's quiet with beautiful views. * **Cons:** The location is relatively remote, often referred to as being in the middle of nowhere. It's about a 30-minute drive from Erdaobaihe Town, with very few options for takeout and restaurants nearby. Hotel transportation (like private car hire) is also quite expensive. 🧹 **Cleanliness: Room Gets a Thumbs Up** * **Good points:** The bedding in the room was comfortable, and cleaning was thorough. * **Needs improvement:** The service manual in the room had graffiti on it and should be replaced soon. 🍽️ **Dining: Decent Price, BBQ is Okay** * **Breakfast:** A wide variety of options, and the staff were enthusiastic. ♨️ **Hot Springs & Facilities: The Core Highlight** The hotel's hot springs and amenities are its main draw. * **Natural Hot Springs:** The hot springs are genuine natural sulfur springs from Changbaishan. There are both indoor and outdoor pools, and the outdoor pool experience is fantastic. * **Amenities:** The hot spring area is relatively new, and the changing rooms are clean. They also provide practical benefits like VIP access to Tianchi Lake and high-speed rail station transfers. * The hotel butler service was excellent, very responsive, and helped us solve problems with transportation and sightseeing. This definitely deserves praise. 💎 **Summary** * **Suitable for:** Travelers who prioritize location and want to conveniently visit the Changbaishan North Slope, using the VIP pass to avoid crowds, especially families with elderly members or children. * **Booking advice:** Be sure to book through official channels for packages that include ”hot springs” and ”VIP access,” and remember to book all transfers and benefits at least one day in advance."

"I called the owner from the high-speed rail station, and they immediately arranged for a driver to pick me up. The journey was thoughtful and warm. Arriving at the guesthouse, I was instantly charmed – the small courtyard was covered in thick snow, and there was a plump snowman by the door. Every photo I took captured the perfect winter vibe! It's also very convenient to get around from here. The owner was incredibly enthusiastic. As soon as we put down our luggage, they brought us frozen pears, which were icy, sweet, and super refreshing. The driver who picked us up was an absolute gem; not only did he recommend fun local spots along the way, but he also suggested a fantastic and affordable restaurant. Six of us girls ate until we were stuffed, and it was less than 50 RMB per person! (It's definitely enough for those with smaller appetites, but guys might need to order a couple more dishes~) My biggest regret is not asking Master Wei to teach us how to ski! He offered, but we ended up going to the ski resort ourselves and 'fell into a trap' (made mistakes). I should have listened to him. In the evening, we even lit sparklers in the courtyard. For those of us from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, who are used to firework bans, this kind of joy is truly rare! From start to finish, everyone at the guesthouse was wonderful – warm and welcoming without being intrusive. This winter trip was doubly enjoyable because of this guesthouse, and I've already recommended it to other classmates!
