Shangri-La Harbin
Our family returned to Harbin for the holiday season, and once again chose Shangri-La Harbin — a decision rooted in trust built over past unforgettable stays. This winter visit reaffirmed why some brands endure: it’s not just about luxury, but consistency, genuine care, and that rare warmth that makes you feel truly welcome. A special mention goes to Mr. Wang Jingwen and Mr. Xu Shengchao from the front desk. From the moment we arrived, their friendly smiles and welcoming attitude made us feel at home. They didn’t just handle check-in efficiently — they went above and beyond by sharing local gems like authentic Northeastern cuisine, tips on visiting the Siberian tiger exhibit, and even recommended scenic running routes along the Songhua River. Their knowledge and personal touch instantly made us feel connected to the city, not just as guests but as visitors welcomed with heart. The dining team also stood out, especially Ms. Wang Jinxia. During busy mealtimes, she remained calm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her thoughtful recommendations brought each meal to life, turning every bite into a delightful experience. Our room was cozy and thoughtfully designed, offering panoramic views of the city. Staying in the Executive Lounge was a real highlight — sipping tea while gazing out at the dazzling night lights of the North Bank Ice and Snow World and the serene riverside scenery, all within walking distance of key attractions. The location couldn’t be better, and the lounge offered a peaceful retreat with a touch of elegance. Truth be told, we picked this hotel because of a friend’s strong recommendation — and now we understand why. Shangri-La isn’t just a trusted name for travelers; it’s a brand that feels deeply rooted in the community, respected and cherished locally. Thank you to every member of the team for creating such a memorable, comfortable, and heartfelt stay. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

Every staff member we met was incredibly professional, warm, and attentive, making our experience feel personal and special. What made it unforgettable was timing our visit perfectly with the winter Christmas festivities—the decorations, lighting, and seasonal touches were beautifully done, bringing joy to our whole family. The kids were especially thrilled. This stay wasn’t just comfortable—it was magical. If I ever come back to Harbin, there’s no doubt I’ll book here again.

Staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help without being pushy. What really stood out was the value for money—this place offers luxury-level comfort at a surprisingly fair price.

Hot water pressure was excellent, so I never had to worry about lukewarm showers. Staff were friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist.

Yake Town Holiday Hotel (Central Street Branch)
Staying at Yake Town Holiday Hotel was an absolute delight! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond.

Harbin Polar Bear Hotel
Staying at the Harbin Polar Bear Hotel near Sun Island Metro Station was an absolute delight! While the indoor polar exhibit isn't very large and might be quickly explored by adults—especially if you miss the show timing—it's perfect for kids. The real magic happens with the hotel’s unique theme: real polar bears and penguins! Even as a 300-month-old 'big kid,' I had so much fun joining in the activities. The staff were incredibly friendly—the cute girl even handed me a scratch card, which added a nice surprise touch. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from the iconic Sun Island Snowman. You won’t see polar bears from your room, but they’re frequently spotted in the hallways and restaurant areas, making it exciting for little ones. Morning sessions with the mischievous ‘school-skipping’ penguin include fun educational moments that kids love. (Just kidding—if your child hasn’t finished their homework, maybe don’t bring them… or risk getting a playful lecture!) Overall, this place is charming, well-thought-out, and offers a memorable experience for families. Highly recommend for a fun, themed stay in Harbin!
Days Hotel by Wyndham Harbin Songbei
I’ve always had a soft spot for Wyndham hotels, and this trip with my kids was no exception—I knew I wanted to stay at one again. Unfortunately, the first night was fully booked, so we checked in the next day—but it was totally worth the wait! The room temperature was perfect—just right, not too hot or dry, which made for a restful night’s sleep. My kids loved the quiet, comfortable environment, and they were already excited about coming back after a full day of exploring. Breakfast was excellent—great variety, both Western and local options, with fresh ingredients that even picky eaters enjoyed. Overall, an amazing stay with fantastic value. I’ll definitely be booking here again—and I’ll make sure to reserve earlier next time!
Harbin Sun Castle Resort
Walking into Harbin Sun Castle Resort felt like stepping into a fairy tale from medieval Europe. Nestled right in the heart of Sun Island Scenic Area, this unique castle hotel offers an unforgettable experience with its prime location and immersive theme. Facing the Songhua River, it's just across the water from Central Street—perfect for sightseeing. What truly blew me away? The resort itself is the starting point for the Songhua River cable car, so you can glide across the river without even leaving the property. The panoramic views of both banks at night are simply breathtaking. As the world’s first chocolate-themed castle hotel, the aroma of cocoa fills the air as soon as you enter. On the 4th floor, there’s a chocolate art workshop where you can craft your own custom chocolate souvenir. The 5th floor houses a chocolate museum featuring giant chocolate sculptures—absolutely Instagram-worthy. Don’t miss the M&M-themed desserts at COCO Castle Restaurant. And every day, they hand out limited-edition chocolate gift boxes—such a sweet little surprise to take home. Despite being in the middle of a major attraction area, the rooms are surprisingly spacious. European-style furniture with intricate carvings and vintage fireplaces give each room a luxurious, aristocratic vibe. I highly recommend the staircase bathtub suite on the top floor—the tub is perfectly positioned by the window, letting you soak while enjoying stunning views of the river and the glowing castle at night. It’s pure magic. For a winter getaway or a romantic escape, this place delivers everything you could want—and then some.

This trip to Harbin was absolutely fantastic — I couldn’t have been more satisfied!

This is already my fourth consecutive year staying at this hotel, and I can't recommend it enough. The owner is so warm and welcoming—feels like family from the moment you walk in. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s a home away from home. Can’t wait to return next year. Harbin, see you soon! Absolutely fantastic! 👍👍👍
Harbin Sun Island Hotel
We originally booked Friendship Palace for our trip to Harbin during the May Day holiday, but due to the strong smell from recent renovations, we had to switch last minute—luckily, only one room was left at Sun Island Hotel. What a lucky coincidence! The hotel is actually located within a large, serene park, offering a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere. The rooms are quiet, with clean air and excellent sound insulation—perfect for a good night’s sleep. Best of all, it's just a short walk to Sun Island Scenic Area and Polar Park, so we didn’t need to rely on transportation. Everything was convenient, well-maintained, and beautifully situated. Our stay exceeded expectations—this place truly delivers comfort, location, and value. I’d definitely come back.
Love Loft Viewing Homestay (Harbin Central Street Pedestrian Street Branch)
This homestay is an absolute gem for larger groups! We booked two rooms for our team outing, and the space was more than enough—clean, spacious, and perfect for group gatherings. The host went above and beyond by providing extra blankets and even waited for us to arrive late to hand over the access cards. Located right next to a big restaurant and just steps away from a lively barbecue street, dining options are endless and super convenient. With great location, excellent value, and a welcoming vibe, this is hands-down the best choice for any group stay in Harbin. Highly recommended!
