Harbin Jiuxi Apartment

The location is nice, I chose this bcs I prefer to just walk to a place right after I arrive in Harbin or go to another place. Of course, you need to spare time when you want to go to the city center, but this place is close to bus station and subway station making it's convenient to go to other places. If you want to save time, taxi option is always available. It's also close to a mall and many restaurants that are open till late night, you can also find a pub around there. If you want a late night snack, there is a shop that opens 24hrs downstairs. The owner was nice as well, I added them on Wechat at late night, and they were very nice in responding me. They provided me with a code to enter my room as soon as I arrived in the building. Prepare a 100 CNY deposit (though you can find this info in the policy section). They will returned it once you checked out. In terms of room, it is quite big and the king size bed easily fits 2 persons. It is also clean and you will get the standard amenities (minus water), the view is also nice from there. The room is warm and you can make it warmer with AC. One thing that I dislike though, it smells of tobacco. I have to air it for around 15 mins as soon as I arrived, after that the smell dissipated and it turned OK. For you non-smokers, this could be a point to consider. It will be cleaned daily at around 9AM - 3PM so you can tell the owner your preferred time. You will get a room card inside and plenty of storage. Other things to consider: there is no curtain to separate the shower area so the water might leak to the toilet area. Since the whole building is for hotel so there might be some noises here and there but it won't disturb you too much based on my experience. Prepare ear plugs if you like quiet surrounding just incase. Bcs of the snow, be careful to only wear your shoes till the entrance, otherwise the room area will get dirty.
