Huayi Oriental Hotel (Central Street Aijian)

We checked in the hotel in a cold night and were touched when the thoughtful counter staff gifted us items that we can use to keep ourselves warm. The hotel room is spacious and clean. If you stay there, do remember to check out the morning market behind the hotel for a unique local experience. Do go early because they close at 9am.

What a wonderful hotel, super good hospitality, bargain price and best location closer to Central street and SF river.

The location is really convenient and the staff is friendly.

The room was full of mold in the carpet. The water took long to warm. One light burned, asked to change. They didn't change.

Very average hotel to spend a couple of nights in Harbin without having to spend too much money. A little far from the main attractions so you will have to walk about 20 minutes to get anywhere. The room was clean and we had all we needed. Towels I had thrown on the floor to clean were put back on the window sill to be used again but that is fair enough. My only issue is that the hotel made us pay for a towel that had changed color because of my dyed hair. Supposedly they couldn’t get it clean again. I have this issue at home as well and know that just running it through the washing machine 1x on a normal setting is enough to get them back to white.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my stay here. The staff was very helpful when I arrived; they assisted me with signing up for the local health code app and when I needed to find a location to test before leaving Harbin the provided me with an address and phone number for the local test center. Major Pros: - Bed is Super comfortable, clean and they provide you with 3 different types of pillows (each filled with a different material) perhaps for finding your best fit... - 2 bottles of water free per day and a hot water kettle - Paraben free shampoo and body wash & toothbrush - heating in the room is super warm - Incredible location... central so you are not far from any attraction 2 hour walk (in winter) to iceland and only like 10 rmb taxi ride back to hotel from there... 3 hour walk to tigers. and again 10-15 rmb back to hotel... 15-20 minute walk to Sophia's Cathedral and the shopping food street. Dragon tower less than an hours walk. Cons: - No Hot Water :( Neither in the sink nor the shower... I ran it both directions for several minutes... ice cold... had to shower my hair and then towel wash my body because it was too cold... biggest con. - No breakfast available... not even for a charge... food room in picture was not seen during my stay... not sure if this was because of the Holiday or what... but I was there 5 nights... - Sink was marble like material and had clearly broken in half. It was glued back together and then taped to hold it back in place.... not an issue... just strange. SORRY I had intended to take more photos but I forgot. Great place if you don't need luxury. Very comfortable stay.

Special shout-out to Huayi Oriental Hotel!!! 5 out of 5 star ratings The room is so cozy, bed has memory foam mattress (I really slept so well), the water in the shower is warm/hot, and most of all - the staff are so helpful and accommodating. Looking forward to stay here again…if ever I decided to come visit Harbin. ❤️ 🇨🇳

It's my second stay at this hotel. It's clean and the rooms are spacious. It's located within 20 min walk from Sofia's Cathedral. I recommend it if you are looking for a low price but good quality.

Nice and clean hotel, within 20 min taxi to most main attractions.
