2-Star Hotels in Heilongjiang, China

"Big thanks to Sister Qiu for always responding to our inquiries and to the boss, Hongbo, for the warm hospitality and care. We had a very comfortable and fun four-day, three-night stay (Dec 27-30) in Snow Valley. The warm beds, hot meals, and enjoying all the entertainment activities in Snow Valley and Snow Village gave our group of four an extraordinary winter experience. At Xiongling in Snow Valley, we tried snowmobiling, snow tubing, skiing, and snow drifting (super thrilling!). **Friendly reminder**: Please wear sunglasses, a mask, and a snow hat. This will help prevent the cold snow from hitting your face when you're snow drifting. The snow hitting your face is incredibly, unbelievably cold! For the Yangcaoshan itinerary, I recommend buying tickets for the horse-drawn sled and taking the snowmobile all the way up the mountain. Hiking would be a very long and time-consuming distance. For the second half, we opted to hike down to Snow Village, and the snow scenery along the way was absolutely spectacular, perfect for photos. You can also buy a small sled to enjoy some exciting mini snow runs on the way down. **The only drawback**: The shower head in the bathroom had low water pressure, so it took a bit longer to shower."

"Booking this homestay for our trip was an absolute gem, from the initial communication to checking out, the entire experience was incredibly comfortable and pleasant. I definitely have to give it a glowing review! The host was super nice, responding promptly to all my inquiries about our itinerary and check-in details before we even booked. They also thoughtfully provided local travel tips, recommendations for great eateries, and even clear instructions on parking and getting into the community, so we didn't have to worry about a thing. The homestay's location is also fantastic, not far from tourist attractions/commercial areas, with convenient transportation nearby. Plus, there are convenience stores and snack shops downstairs, making daily outings super easy."

"I booked this hotel after calling ahead to confirm, as I had an early morning flight the next day. I took the airport shuttle from the high-speed rail station to the airport, and they picked me up after I called. The next morning, they drove me back to the airport. Since I'm a light sleeper and sensitive to noise, the front desk kindly upgraded me to a quiet room on the fourth floor for free. Honestly, you can tell the owner put thought into the room's amenities. I didn't closely inspect or use the five towels in the bathroom, and it felt like there were fewer than at a typical Home Inn. The bathroom was equipped with disposable toiletries and even a disposable toilet seat cover. I don't travel often and haven't stayed in many hotels, but for a one-night layover before a flight, the price was reasonable, and the value for money was excellent."

"This hotel is great, it feels like staying at a relative's house in the countryside. It's a bit far from the shops as it's at the end of the village (but if you want to buy things or eat at restaurants, it's not a long walk). The location is fantastic because you open the door to beautiful mountain views. Right next door there's an activity area with a slider and ice skiing. It's not crowded, so it feels very private. There's also a waterfall near the hotel. You can spend all day at the hotel without getting bored because there are activities to do and beautiful views for photos. The hotel food is delicious, and breakfast is free. It's mainly rice porridge, eggs, pickled vegetables, and plain steamed buns. If you want other things, you can order à la carte. Hot pot is also available but costs extra. You can buy snacks or drinks at the hotel if you don't want to walk to the village shops. Prices are reasonable, and you can pay by QR code or cash. The rooms are in the same building as the lobby, so if guests in the lobby are loud, you'll hear them. I recommend booking a room further from the lobby if you want peace and quiet. The bed is wide and comfortable, not cramped. It's a heated bed. There's a hanger for clothes. There's no air conditioning in the room, but the weather is cold so it's not really needed. The only issue is when you're fully dressed, you might feel hot and uncomfortable, but it's fine once you step out of the room. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation with a curtain. The bathroom floor is a bit slippery, but the hotel provides slippers which help prevent slipping. There's no bidet spray in the bathroom, but the showerhead has a small sprayer that can be used instead. The bathroom has hot water, a heater, and ventilation. Towels are disposable. There's a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and a hairdryer, but no conditioner. If anything runs out, you can ask the hotel. The owner and staff are very attentive. You can book tickets for mountain activities directly with the accommodation. However, there's no signal on the mountain, so you need to bring cash or exchange money at the hotel. When going to the mountain, the hotel provides a pick-up and drop-off service, and a hotel staff member accompanies you to guide you through all the activities, making sure you have fun, haha! It's very worthwhile. Overall, it's excellent. It might not be a luxury hotel, but everything combined – the location and the beautiful views – is well worth the room price. If I come again, I'll book here."

"The Harbin Jiaxin Express Hotel has a great environment, and it's easy to find halal restaurants nearby. The room was clean and tidy. The hotel owner was very friendly and incredibly helpful. Overall, it was a very comfortable and recommendable stay. 👍"

"It’s 7 days hotel, I don’t know what the premium should be but I would say that the location is great, barely 5 minutes walk to the church. Otherwise the room is basic and old. It was warm enough inside. The downside is that you can hear the people in the rooms next to you even when they are just talking. If you just need a place to sleep while in Harbin this is a good choice in terms of value for money."

"For me it was difficult to see that everyone was smoking inside the hotel and in the rooms, even tho it was a sign next to the bed mentioning “not to smoke in bed” , they also have cigarettes to purchase on the bedside table haha, as a non smoker I never experienced this before. The reception staff is very nice and helpful :)) much appreciated!! The location is convenient Important for me: they don’t have a gym, when I entered there were so many things around: like clothing racks and a lot of stuff, felt more like a storage unit to me."

"入住體驗很不錯，房間夠大，也非常乾淨，沒有任何異味，出行也方便，外面一個大院子孩子晚上還在外面跑跑跳跳也挺好的，好像是個新開的酒店，選了半天選的這個真沒錯，個人非常在意房間衞生這個非常滿意，如果下次再來這邊玩還會再定這個酒店"

"I wholeheartedly recommend this Guanlan Art-themed high-rise Airbnb! The location is absolutely fantastic, right in the Daowai Baoyu Tianyi Global Harbor. It's really close to Central Street and Chinese Baroque, making it super convenient for exploring and dining out. Getting around is a breeze whether you're taking a taxi, walking, or using the subway. The room was clean with a great view, well-equipped, and the service was excellent. Definitely great value for money, highly recommended!"
