Hostels in Heilongjiang, China

"This is the best Hostel that I have ever stayed in. The location is right on central street (the street that is in all the stuff to do lists on Harbin). It is also only 10 minutes walking distance from the Saint Sophia's church. There is also this mall 1 minute walking distance from the front door called Euro Plaza a 7 story shopping mall with all the food and shopping you would need or want. Apart from its rooms, the hotel offers a common area and free washer dryers for its guests both of which are very clean. It also has refrigerators in the common area that it sells drinks out of, I even saw people store their food inside the right most refrigerators because there are no refrigerators in the rooms. Overall I would definitely stay here if I come back to Harbin."

"This was my first solo trip, and my first time staying in a hostel, and the experience was truly fantastic! Even though I only stayed one night, I had an incredibly, incredibly happy, warm, and cozy stay. The environment was great, it really felt like home. They have a female-only section, and my roommates were super nice. It was a very comfortable stay, and excellent value for money! I absolutely loved this place and have already recommended it to my friends. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Harbin!"

"The location is fantastic, right at the subway entrance. When it's -20 to -30 degrees Celsius outside, saving a few hundred meters of walking really is a lifesaver. The hostel also provides free earplugs, and there are a lot of international guests, so you hear all sorts of languages. As an introverted person with social anxiety, I wasn't able to initiate conversations. There's a fridge and microwave on the first floor, so you can store your own food and heat it up whenever you want. All in all, it's pretty good!"

"A homestay that satisfies all my fantasies about the homestay. Every corner inside is full of popularity. The boss has no doubt about the level of care for this homestay. The boss contacted us the day before Fuyuan, and also enthusiastically introduced the play guide. The homestay has a chartered service and is affordable. Our master's surname is Shan, a kind uncle (looks a bit like Ma Baoguo. We called him Fuyuan Ma Baoguo. Hahaha). Along the way, his understanding of Fuyuan is deeper than that of ordinary tour guides. I really learned a lot about where I went to explain to us. He was very serious about this job, he said, I want to do one thing and do it well. It's not perfunctory at all, and I will patiently explain everything when I ask. All in all, although it is a small Fuyuan, it makes me feel full because of the east homestay. Thanks to the boss, the little secretary and uncle Shan~ I will definitely recommend them to come to Fuyuan in the future. I wish you good health and a prosperous business~"

"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."

"The rooms and bedding were incredibly clean, and the location was superb – just 100 meters from Central Avenue's main entrance and a 5-minute walk to the subway. The owner was very friendly. The lobby was spacious, with communal hot water, a dining area, and sofas, which was very convenient. The heating in the room was excellent, almost too warm, so we often had to open the window or place a basin of water to increase the humidity. There were lots of fellow travelers, and we took many group photos to remember the good times. The atmosphere was fantastic, and I'll definitely be back!"

"The boss of this youth hostel is so good! On the second day in Harbin, I was cold and fevered. The boss also sent me various drugs and bought me canned yellow peaches. Thank you so much! The youth hostel is also very good! The location is excellent, there are several bus stops downstairs, and it is very fast to go to the city center. There is also an airport bus line 3 station downstairs. It is also very convenient to go to the airport. There are also many delicious foods near the Youth Hostel, and there is Lao Dingfeng selling downstairs. And the Youth Hostel is very clean, the girl's public restroom is in the room, I like this very much! There will not be too many people in the Youth Hostel, and it is very safe to live! In short, it is recommended! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !"

"I was extremely satisfied; this was the best hostel I've ever stayed in. It was my first time staying in a hostel in northern China, and the main reason I slept so well was because it cured my sleep problems 💤… Considering the incredibly low price, I felt obligated to give it a good review. The best part was meeting three different roommates who were all very nice and shared their travel experiences… This was a pleasant surprise. The only regret was not being able to participate in any activities! The fact that there were fewer people these past few days (off-season) was also an advantage. The barbecue place recommended by Brother Nie was delicious, but I ordered too much for one person. Be careful when ordering food in Northeast China—the portions are huge!!! Next time I'm in Harbin, I'll definitely stay in a hostel nearby; it's about a 20-minute walk."

"The location of the hotel is so convinient, it's close to grocery stores, restaurants, mosques and morning markets and many more. The staff is very helpfull, the environment in here is so warm. I like my stay in here."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute best hostel experience in Harbin! The owner is an incredible, wonderful man you will instantly love. He knows every hidden corner of this city — you cannot truly explore Harbin without his local knowledge and recommendations. This place offers unbelievable value; you get far more than you pay for. Thanks to the owner’s gift for connecting travellers, you do not just book accommodation here — you join a little family. There is a guitar and ukulele for guests to enjoy, and the breathtaking city view from the 26th floor is outstanding. I truly hope he expands this hostel idea soon, because so many travellers want to stay here, so book well in advance. 100% worth every penny."
