Hotels in The Imperial Palace/Xiaoheyan Morning Market, Shenyang

This hotel is perfectly located for exploring Shenyang Imperial Palace and Marshal Zhang's Mansion! It's right in the heart of Zhongjie, so you can just step out and start shopping. The subway entrance is just a few steps away, making it super convenient to get to all the attractions and save time and effort. The hotel itself is stylish and minimalist, with a great atmosphere in the lobby. The rooms are spotless, and you can tell they pay attention to the details. After a tiring day of sightseeing, sinking into the soft bed was instant relaxation. Despite being in a bustling area, it's incredibly quiet, with excellent soundproofing. The value for money is outstanding, and it's definitely on my list for my next visit to Shenyang. The hotel offers easy access to local Shenyang snacks and generally maintains a well-kept environment. The public areas are tidy, and the rooms feel cozy with well-maintained amenities. I especially enjoyed the self-service afternoon tea (13:00-15:00) and the delicious freshly ground and brewed coffee at the lobby bar.

The owner is incredibly kind and helpful. The place has all the basic amenities; although there's no air conditioning, there's a fan. It looks exactly like the pictures! Very clean. It might look a bit old, but the owner keeps it exceptionally clean. However, be aware that you need to climb stairs; there's no elevator, and you can only enter from the entrance of the residential complex. There are places to eat nearby, and a bus stop is right next to the hotel, making it very convenient. It's also very close to Shenyang's Zhongjie area. For example, if you want to visit the Shenyang Imperial Palace, Zhang Xueliang's former residence, the Governor's Mansion of the Three Northeastern Provinces, or the snacks along Zhongjie Street, this hotel is a good option. However, on a side note, if you're easily frightened and traveling alone, arriving at this hotel late at night might be scary. If you're easily scared, consider your own situation before deciding, but if you're traveling with a companion, it's definitely a good choice. In summary, it might not look very good from the outside, but from the inside it will feel quite good. But honestly, considering other hotels in the vicinity, especially during peak tourist season in the provincial capital, I think this price is extremely cost-effective.

Strolling through the morning market, you can experience the local life and try various authentic snacks. Food, drinks, and entertainment are all available right downstairs, as the hotel is conveniently located next to Zhongjie Pedestrian Street and Joy City, making shopping very easy. The food options are abundant, with both time-honored brands and specialty snacks. On Zhongjie Street, you can check out Laobian Dumplings; their pan-fried dumplings with stir-fried filling and ice-flower fried dumplings are signature dishes. Majia Shaomai (steamed dumplings) are known for their thin skin and generous filling, and they are excellent with lamb offal soup. If you want to try authentic Northeast home-style dishes, Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork) and Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms are a must. For Korean food, you can take the subway to Xita Korean Ethnic Street, where you'll find a wide variety of Korean delicacies like Ginseng Chicken Soup, cold noodles, and tteok. To experience true local flavor, 'Lao Siji' pulled noodles with chicken frame is a classic Shenyang dish. Here’s a simple itinerary for you: **Day 1:** In the morning, walk to visit the Shenyang Imperial Palace and Zhangshi Shuai Mansion. For lunch, enjoy some time-honored delicacies on Zhongjie Street. In the afternoon, you can visit Taiqing Palace to admire ancient architecture. In the evening, explore Zhongjie Pedestrian Street, and then return to the hotel to enjoy the high-altitude night view. **Day 2:** You can take the subway to Beiling Park and stroll through the royal garden. If you have time, you can also visit the Liaoning Provincial Museum to immerse yourself in the history of Liaoning and Shenyang. In the evening, you can experience a car wash (this part seems a bit out of place or a mistranslation, I'll keep it as is assuming it's a specific local experience '休验车北洗' but it could be a typo for something else like '休息' - rest).

I can say it was incredibly comfortable. I'd heard about Atour's comfy bedding for a while, and finally got to try it out this time 👀. The mattress and pillows are really good. There are two types of pillows, and I prefer the flatter one. I even saw them for sale in the lobby for several hundred yuan each – when I move, I definitely need to get one for home 😂. There's plenty of space for one person, and the shower and toilet are separate and clean. The curtains are also very blackout. Staying at Atour after traveling through Mongolia was truly a comfortable experience!

This hotel is really great, especially the front desk staff. They were so thoughtful! When I booked, I requested a quiet, high-floor room, and when I arrived, they upgraded me. The room was fantastic. Plus, they let me check in in the morning. The front desk said I was lucky because they're usually fully booked by then since it's inside the Fangcheng scenic area. It just so happened that the day before I arrived, they had fewer guests, so there was an empty room available. I really appreciate it!

The location is excellent, making it very convenient for getting around. The front desk service was great, and check-in was super fast. The hot water in the room was consistently stable, and the facilities were decent. There are a ton of affordable restaurants nearby. It offers fantastic value for money. The subway is also very close, only about 400m away, making it incredibly easy to get to tourist attractions. Whether by subway or taxi, getting around is a breeze, which makes it perfect for students traveling together. Overall, the experience was really, really good. This hotel on Zhongjie Street is ideal for a short holiday stay.

Atour's service is top-notch. Although the room was a bit small, it was fully equipped, and the mini-fridge even had complimentary drinks. It's incredibly close to nearby attractions like the Forbidden City, Marshal Zhang's Mansion, and Zhongjie snack street, all within a 10-minute walk. Due to time constraints, I couldn't visit all of them, but I'll definitely stay at this hotel again next time.

The room was clean, and the location was excellent – very close to Middle Street (Zhongjie), with the Shenyang Imperial Palace (Zhongjie Gugong) and the General's Mansion (Dashuaifu) right nearby. There were also plenty of dining options around. As a newly opened hotel, it offered great value for money. I'd definitely choose it again next time.

My 4-night stay at this hotel was absolutely fantastic! Upon checking in, I noticed an issue with my room. After informing the staff, they immediately arranged for a room change. The new room was very spacious, featuring a sofa, a round table, and a lounge chair, which was perfect for dining and relaxing in the room. The staff were always quick to address our requests and even thoughtfully provided laundry service (which I really appreciated!!!). Because we had a high demand for drinking water, the hotel staff kindly provided large bottles of water for our convenience. For our daily necessities, the staff also promptly found ways to meet our needs (the eye mask they provided greatly helped with my sleep during the stay!). The hotel staff also offered travel advice to guests via WeChat and proactively checked in on our travel experiences, sharing local customs and culture when appropriate. I will definitely stay at this hotel again on my next visit to Shenyang!

The hotel's location is super convenient; it's just a short walk to the pedestrian street, and all the main attractions are within walking distance. Getting around, eating, and shopping were all a breeze. The room was spotless and well-equipped. The front desk staff were efficient and polite. The bed was really comfortable, and overall, it offers good value for money. Definitely recommend it!
