I was in transit in Harbin, flying from Korea to Russia.
In short - I was shocked by the hotel. In the worst of all options. I arrived late, around 10 pm, and was greeted by an old lady at the entrance; I had the feeling that she was drunk. As soon as I entered the hotel, this old woman immediately lit a cigarette. I showed her that I was pregnant, she put out the cigarette, but the smell and smoke spread throughout the hotel. They didn’t understand me in English at all, I asked for Wi-Fi, I barely connected, but it worked so well that even the translator didn’t load me, and they didn’t ask me for any documents upon check-in. I just showed a photo of the reservation to clarify whether I had arrived at this hotel.
I was shown a room on the 2nd floor. I hoped that there would be no smell of cigarettes, but I was very mistaken. There was a gap in the door, all the smoke entered the room and the audibility was strong. The room was dirty, hot water barely came out of the tap, I couldn’t wash myself. I washed myself with napkins. It was -1 outside, there was no heating, the windows were poorly made and it was cold. It’s good that I had 2 beds in my room and I covered myself with 2 blankets and slept in my clothes. At 4 am I woke up from the Roosters. They screamed all morning and didn't let me sleep. There was cold drinking water in the cooler in the common area, but after I poured it into a glass, I saw that there was something floating there, some kind of sediment/debris. The only positive thing is that I was taken for free at 7 am to the airport the next day.
