3-Star Hotels in Jilin, China

Staying here in the off-season was absolutely beyond my expectations, five-star review! The check-in process at the front desk was super smooth. The staff, a few young men, were incredibly friendly. They offered coffee, milk tea, juice, and fruit – my hands were full during check-in, and they even gave me a bag to carry everything. The room was great too, right by the 'Beauty Pine' (Meiren Song). What really impressed me was the electric toilet, something I didn't even find at the Hilton in Shenyang – definitely a huge bonus! And the bottled water being readily available in the hallway, right across from the elevator, was both generous and thoughtful! I've stayed in many five-star hotels, but I truly fell in love with Xingcheng here, and especially their self-service laundry room. No need to add detergent manually, and they even provide bags for your clean clothes, which come out smelling fresh. Plus, there's a shoe dryer, which was incredibly convenient after white-water rafting. This hotel truly made my trip perfect and unforgettable!

I've stayed at this hotel many times, and every visit is a comfortable experience. The overall environment is clean and elegant, the hardware facilities are well-maintained, and the staff are warm, attentive, and consistently deliver top-notch service. Since my schedule was quite rushed this time, after I completed the check-in process, the staff thoughtfully helped bring my luggage directly up to the room, which was such a relief. As a pleasant surprise, I received a complimentary upgrade to a deluxe suite; the room was spacious with a comfortable layout, making the overall experience an absolute 10/10. Both the hardware and the service details are executed to perfection, leading to a stellar stay. I will definitely choose to stay here again for future trips. Highly recommended!

The front desk offers complimentary red date tea and chrysanthemum tea, and the lobby is very spacious. Food deliveries are even brought up by a robot! The hotel's location is unbeatable—it's within easy walking distance of the North Slope Tourist Distribution Center, making it super convenient to get an early start up Changbai Mountain. It's also very close to the Yunding Night Market with plenty of dining options nearby, plus there's a bus stop just steps away and a wetland park right across the street.

Facilities: Excellent! The location is super convenient. It's right next to Seomun Market, and only about a 10-minute walk to the Water Market. The famous 'Instagram wall' isn't far either, so you can easily stroll there. There are also well-known restaurants nearby, like Hanjeong Samgyetang (Ginseng Chicken Soup). Hygiene: The room was very clean and tidied frequently. Service: The service was truly outstanding. They would escort us to the elevator when we left, and helped us with getting water. They even gave us frozen pears and frozen persimmons to eat, and the persimmon and frozen pear juices were delicious. Breakfast was also very hearty. I'm genuinely impressed! The room was spacious too. I was traveling with my mom, and they remembered that she likes hot tea and coffee, which was a lovely touch. I was so pleased. We initially only booked for one night, but decided to extend our stay immediately after arriving.

When I arrived at this hotel early in the morning, I actually felt puzzled, wondering if all the surrounding shops and other hotels were closed. It seemed that not only was it not the peak tourist season, but the economic situation might also be unfavorable, which likely explained it. Since I arrived at the hotel too early, no rooms were ready yet. So, I left my luggage with the hotel first and set out for a tour of the western course of Mount Baekdu. When I returned, my luggage had already been placed in the room assigned to me. The condition of the room was impeccably clean. When I woke up in the morning and opened the curtains, the bright sunlight streaming into the room made me feel incredibly refreshed. I went down to the lobby for breakfast, and the hotel owner personally set the table. The food was exceptionally neat and delicious. Moreover, the owner spoke better English than anyone else at other hotels, which was a great help. It was a clean, cozy, and comfortable hotel to stay in. The only drawback was the lack of an elevator, but carrying luggage up one floor shouldn’t be a problem for most people. And considering that the hotel is right across from the western tourism center of Mount Baekdu, its location more than makes up for the inconvenience of not having an elevator. 我一大早到达这家酒店时，其实心里有些疑惑，感觉周围的商店和其他酒店好像都没营业。这可能不仅是因为现在不是旅游旺季，经济不景气也可能是一个原因。 由于我到酒店太早，房间还没整理好，所以我先将行李寄存在酒店，然后出发去长白山西坡景区游览。 回来时，我的行李已经放在分配好的房间里了。 房间干净得无可挑剔。早上醒来拉开窗帘，明媚的阳光照进房间，心情格外舒畅。 下楼到大厅吃早餐时，酒店老板亲自为我摆桌，食物非常整洁美味。 而且，老板的英语比其它任何酒店的员工都好，这给了我很大帮助。 这是一家干净、舒适、温馨的酒店。 唯一的缺点是没有电梯，但提着行李只上一层楼对大多数人来说应该不是问题。考虑到酒店正对着长白山西坡旅游中心，其优越的地理位置完全足以弥补没有电梯的不便。

The location is incredibly convenient, and the hotel itself is a massive complex offering a wide range of services. The shuttle service was very efficient and made getting around easy. Although there was a bit of a language barrier, the drivers and hotel staff were extremely helpful and patient, using Google Translate to communicate with us. The room rates are very reasonable considering the prime location and the quality of the facilities.

What an absolutely mind-blowing experience! 🤩🤩🤩 The brown, standalone three-story cabin had a wonderful, textured feel, and the interior space was unique and exquisite. The east-west orientation perfectly captured the morning glow and evening sunset. Facing west towards the mountains, there was an amazing floor-to-ceiling window, perfect for photos, with a sofa, floor cushions, and even a DIY craft area where you could make sachets and fridge magnets. The materials were even hand-picked by the owner from the forest (and that evening, I had a deep conversation with a fellow traveler I met, and we even exchanged some materials!). Outside in the courtyard, there were lounge chairs, a swing, a pond, and a private, leafy path leading to the pool-north distribution center (highly recommend the location – it's incredibly convenient, a 5-minute walk to the distribution center, and outside there's the Erdao Baihe river, with a less-crowded, beautiful waterside platform under the bridge). The landscaping was meticulously designed and picture-perfect, and I heard it changes with the seasons – in winter, there are Christmas trees and a fireplace. On the east side, there's a dining area with a very bright view and a comfortable, high-quality lounge chair. In the middle, there's a small bar (I must strongly recommend the complimentary afternoon tea – it's incredibly delicious 😋😋😋, with different cakes, fruits, and drinks every day, both beautiful and tasty!). Then, you take the spiral staircase up to the room (the super enthusiastic staff member even offered to help carry up two large suitcases 😭😭😭). The room was on the third floor, facing east, and had a scenic bathtub (after a cold day on the mountain, a hot bath is desperately needed for relaxation 😭😭😭 – and the best part is you don't have to go out and fight for space!). The room was very new, exceptionally clean, and quite spacious. The attention to detail was excellent, with mouthwash, makeup remover wipes, compressed towels, and toilet/bathtub covers all provided – making it very convenient and comfortable. 😍😍😍 And then there were the incredibly, incredibly nice staff! The owner seems like a young woman who absolutely loves life, coming from the south to Changbai Mountain to run this small but exquisite guesthouse. In her free time, she even goes foraging in the forest in autumn and creates many creative handmade ornaments (this is truly the life I aspire to!). She was also incredibly enthusiastic; when she heard we wanted to collect pine resin in the forest, she even gave us a spoon! 🥰🥰🥰 Although I didn't meet the boss, he also seems very nice. As someone from Tianjin, seeing the Tianjin 'Little Eight Delicacies' on the table right when I walked in was genuinely touching. The staff, both male and female, were all incredibly kind. Everyone was thoughtful and patient, helping us plan our itinerary and recommending restaurants. Perhaps we just clicked, but before we left, the guesthouse even gave us a small farewell gift! 🤩🤩🤩 I was truly overjoyed. Coming to Changbai Mountain during the National Day holiday, the autumn colors were in full swing. Even though we didn't make it up to Tianchi, experiencing the slow life in a small guesthouse in town, away from the crowds, was fantastic. And the value for money was unbeatable. I've stayed in many good hotels and guesthouses, but this place is truly a hidden gem, combining human warmth with excellent hardware design. Staying here made me feel incredibly lucky! 😋😋😋

Overall, we had a great stay despite a small hiccup with the pickup due to hotel staff turnover and miscommunication. The hotel room was amazing and super well designed with great amenities, it was undoubtedly the best accommodation we had during our 2 weeks in Dongbei. Even though we didn’t book breakfast, the boss gave us free breakfast to comepensate for the poor experience we had with the pickup from the high speed rail (I would strongly recommend giving them a call to confirm the pickup rather than communicating through WeChat). The breakfast was super tasty and has lots of different side dishes (not saying this because it’s free lol), would definitely recommend. We were there during NYE and NY, and seems like people in the neighbourhood really liked fireworks. We probably saw fireworks 8 -9 times during our 3 days stay (including one from our host), super lucky! The local restaurant the host recommended was very tasty as well (not touristy so be prepared for a raw experience), food was great and fried eggs is a must try. The only issue with staying in this area was transport if you don’t have a driver for your stay in Changbaishan (which is a well known issue for all hotels in this area). Getting a cab took about an hour… after constant failing, the boss was so nice that she tried to call all her friends to see if they were available to drive us to the restaurant and we got there at the end!!!! 谢谢老板和老板娘的烟花还有小礼物，我们玩得特别开心！

Pros: - Great location with access to many small convenience stores and restaurants around - Hotel is housed within one of the highest building in Changchun - Breakfast selection was great and service of staff there was superb - Room assigned was on 33rd floor with great view of the city - Room size was big despite having a small window space - Futuristic and minimalist hotel with robot to send food to your door (deliveries) - About 10 mins walk to “The Hill”/“Wanda Shopping Mall” and Tram 54 Cons: - Not easy to find the exact location in Didi App as it’s very new and there are a few hotels of the same name around the area - Was told that they have disabled the aircond (Cold air) during winter and it will only blow warm air. With that, we were advised to turn off the aircond and we slept sweating as the temperature was not low enough for a great night sleep - To maximize space, there wasn’t any proper hanging (wardrobe) area that we can use to hang our winter jackets Overall (Summary) - Great hotel for its location and with much local delights around. Service was great with great selection of breakfast. High floor view of city. Just too bad there wasn’t any cooling aircond we could use as the window was tight shut. Great room size for family which is a plus point. Happy to come back again perhaps in the summer next time. Cheers

After the Mid-Autumn Festival here, the moon cakes were very sweet, and I saw the fireworks, and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. I brought my parents to live for 3 days and the whole family was very satisfied! In the homestay, quiet in the middle of noisy, there is a small yard at the door, and a small vegetable garden planted by the boss himself. It is very warm and clean. My parents can drink tea and sunbathe there every morning. The boss was very patient and helped us plan a slow tour route that was not in a hurry. The location was simply excellent and it was very close to our attractions. The room is quiet, the layout is warm and distinctive, the furniture in the comfortable room is not sharp corners, the hot water is stable for 24 hours, and the water temperature is also suitable for elders. The hygiene is done carefully, and there is no dust in the depths of the wardrobe. My parents said that it is more comfortable than living at home! No matter the facilities, sanitation, environment, and service are impeccable in all aspects, it is simply the best choice for travel!
