Hotéis Ibis em Harbin

The room appears much smaller than on the website but is adequate for solo travelling. Although water bottles was replaced daily, dirty tea cups were never removed or washed during my 4 day stay and I had to rinse them in the bathroom. The trash can was emptied every day but they do not make your bed. The shower head was broken and difficult to handle and the mattress topper was too big for the bed and kept slipping off. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was difficult in the sense that the hotel is situated in a very busy main road, with one way direction and few in between passes, meaning taxis must first drive quite far past the hotel before making a u-turn to turn back to drop you. The downside of using Didi's or taxi's are the rude and impatient drivers. They charged extra high fares during Christmas. We were often gridlocked in traffic, ending up walking back 2-4km to the hotel. Overall I was disappointed in the city itself. Many buildings were rundown and neglected with broken windos and peeled paint, that reminded me of a third world country. Streets were very dirty and a nearby school did not make traffic congestion any easier when commuting forth and back to the hotel. Rumours that Christmas is not so busy and a better time to be visiting Harbin, is not true. The crowds spoiled the experience at Saint Sophia Church, especially the influencers who dressed up in ridiculous outfits posing in freezing temperatures at the church staircases and corners, spoiling any photography opportunities. Stalls and shops around the Church were very expensive. I visited a few other churches like St Aleksyev and Jile Temple which was far worth the effort. The highlight of my trip was Volga Manor, Baroque Street and the Songhua Railroad Bridge. Sun Island snow sculptures were very enjoyable, easy to navigate and not congested with people. Plenty of space to walk through the park, play in the snow and take the cable car over the river. The ques are not long from the Sun Island side, but crossing over to Harbin's side, the ques were very long to get a cable car. Danny's Beer in the Baroques Street area is a must visit and offered welcoming, warm and delicious food and hospitality. It's a 4,7km hike from the Songhua River bridge and offered good food at very reasonable prices. I did not visit the Ice sculpture park or light shows because of the three hour waiting cues, too many people and slippery conditions. The Tiger park was a so-so experience and mostly annoying due to people teasing the tigers with meat strips they cannot reach; all for the sake of a photo opportunity. If you are an animal lover, rather skip the tiger Park. Lastly, a big plus was the public toilets near the Songhua River that were impressively clean.

I booked a room on trip and there was no domestic mobile phone number. When I checked in, the front desk brother asked me the phone number and I said it was foreign. Another big sister said that it could be used. The little brother was very unskilled when he operated, and then he was angry on the spot, and asked the eldest sister very loudly why this was not good. I was so embarrassed. I hurriedly called the family to provide the domestic mobile phone number. How to do the service and industry with this attitude. Super bad review! I am not skilled in my business and I will show my face to the guests!

The staffs were friendly and helpful. The location is perfect. There is a subway station just outside the hotel entrance. Public bus is also accessible within 3-5 mins walking distance. Had the chance to take their buffet breakfast and i would recommend this. We had lunch and dinner outside as we are roaming around the city. However, you can also order food from Meituan app and the food will be delivered to your room door. Very convenient. Overall, our stay was nice.

Hotel location is very good to find, just opposite Wanda. The room was clean and tidy, and the lobby was spacious and bright. The family room was set, the check-in service was very fast, and a breakfast was also sent. A small pocket of gifts and three bottles of Guevas, I felt the warmth of Harbin. The room is fully equipped, the environment is very good, the scenery outside the window is also good, praise

The hotel in Harbin, China was a delightful surprise. The rooms were spacious and stylishly decorated, providing a relaxing atmosphere. The staff were warm and hospitable, going above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. From the impressive breakfast spread to the comfortable common areas, the hotel provided a memorable stay in Harbin.

I stayed at this hotel two days apart. The location is excellent,as it was on Central Street. The Airport bus stop is almost right in front of the hotel, on both directions. It's almost right across from the start of Zhongyang Street. There are a chocolate store and a bakery store nearby, if you want to grab something to eat quick or a souvenir from Russia. It's equally close to Metro Train stations, Line 2, I believe, on either direction. The room is small but adequate. Breakfast is standard, typical for hotel this size. The location is what makes this hotel hard to beat, if you don't own or rent a car.
