Boutique Hotels in Jilin, China

My stay at the Shimao Manjin Hotel far exceeded my expectations, somewhat making up for not seeing the rime ice. Although it's been open for over ten years, the hotel rooms and lobby still maintain a five-star standard in terms of decor and quality of materials. Its location at the head of Jilin Bridge over the Songhua River in the city center is particularly stunning, with beautiful night views of both banks of the Songhua River. The hotel's service also deserves praise. When the phone in my room wasn't working, staff came to fix it immediately after I reported it. When I casually mentioned needing more bottled water, they promptly sent extra bottles. A particularly noteworthy incident happened during breakfast on check-out day: my cardholder slipped out of my down jacket pocket onto the dining chair without me noticing. The staff quickly found it and called me back, preventing a delay to my high-speed rail journey. Additionally, the hotel's restaurants are highly recommended. The steaks at the buffet, the hot pot restaurant, and the Japanese cuisine are all authentic and reasonably priced. I will definitely choose Shimao Manjin again on my next visit to Jilin to see the rime ice.

This five-star hotel gave me a great sense of security. I was so lucky to see the Heavenly Lake (Tianchi) at Changbai Mountain. They have a VIP fast track that saved a lot of time. And our butler, Li Chao, was incredibly responsive, arranging everything thoughtfully and promptly for guests. We missed the hotel's shuttle to the ski resort by a few minutes, and the butler immediately arranged for a dedicated hotel car to rush us to the next stop, the Crown Hotel, to catch our transport. It was incredibly thoughtful! For lazy travelers like us who don't want to think too much, it was such a stress-free experience. The breakfast was also excellent. The front desk was fantastic too; upon arrival, they upgraded us directly to a business executive room, which was comfortable and spacious. It's in Building 1 with direct access to the hot springs, and we enjoyed them for two nights – my child absolutely loved it. All the staff were welcoming and very attentive. The Food Court (Meishi Hui) had a great variety and generous portions, and everything was delicious. At the barbecue stand, I even got to try on traditional Korean clothing. Seeing the Heavenly Lake, which is only open for 50 days in winter, was an amazing experience. The train station shuttle service was also five-star; on our return, even though it was just the two of us, the bus still picked us up on time. Truly VIP service! Next time I visit Changbai Mountain, I'll definitely stay at Lan Jing again.

I stayed for one night first and was so pleased and satisfied that I decided to stay for another. It is a hotel in Yanbian at a really good price, and I liked the clean bed and spacious room. There was also a laundry room, so I was able to finish drying my clothes. Additionally, the breakfast was delicious, allowing me to enjoy the meal slowly for two hours. In particular, the front desk staff member, Kim Yeon-ju, spoke Korean and was able to resolve difficult issues well. She also actively guided me through my travel itinerary, which allowed me to travel to Yanbian and the nearby Mt. Baekdu smoothly, for which I am truly grateful. This hotel is my top choice for a second stay on my next trip to Yanbian.

This hotel boasts an excellent location, making getting around super convenient. Right across the street is the morning floating market. I have to mention the breakfast – it's incredibly varied and delicious! The room was fully equipped, the humidifier worked wonderfully, and it was so warm inside you couldn't even feel the cold outside. Plus, the VIP manager even gave us a small gift at checkout. Overall, a really great hotel experience.

Stepping into the Grand Hyatt Changchun again, a familiar warmth enveloped me. On the coffee table lay a handwritten welcome card – the same familiar handwriting, a faint scent of ink, like a note left by an old friend. I've stayed here countless times; I'm no longer just a guest, but someone returning home. The hotel remembers my preferences, and they take the time to carefully craft a 'welcome back' that feels like poetry. No matter how rushed my travels, seeing those words immediately puts my mind at ease. It's not a perfunctory printout, but a sincere, handwritten gesture. In an era where everything is fast-paced, it's truly a gentle touch of hospitality when someone is willing to slow down for you. My heart settled. This, perhaps, is what true, elevated hospitality looks like: no templates, just heartfelt care.

The hotel's location is a bit remote, but that's typical for hot spring hotels. I communicated with the front desk a few days before arrival. I sent them my high-speed rail information and scheduled a pickup at Changbaishan Station. So, despite the somewhat remote location, the hotel's shuttle service was excellent. The front desk staff were also very good. When I arrived, I had intended for the front desk to book a rafting trip for me, but it turned out the hotel's contract with the rafting company had expired, so we had to sort it out ourselves. (I had inquired with the front desk a week prior, and they said it could be arranged there. I was surprised to find upon arrival that the hotel had just canceled its contract with the rafting company.) I want to be clear, I'm not blaming the hotel; it was just bad luck. I do hope the hotel can continue to assist out-of-towners in the future, as foreigners often face difficulties booking things in China without local phone numbers. I wanted to see Tianchi Lake, but it was closed all three days I was there. Rafting was also out. So, I ended up staying at the hotel. However, I enjoyed several hot spring baths, visited the gym, and the hotel can also arrange skiing for you. We didn't go skiing because we had elderly people with us. So, staying at the hotel wasn't bad at all. There are only two restaurants: a Korean restaurant and the hotel's buffet. The food was good, but the dinner shrimp seemed to be limited. I arrived at 7:30 PM and only got two shrimp, while my dad got five. Then there were none left, and the restaurant staff didn't replenish them. The room was very large and clean. I particularly liked the rooms at this hotel. The hot spring has both indoor and outdoor sections. I might return in the future.

I wholeheartedly give this hotel a perfect score! The room was fully equipped with everything in working order, and the layout was very well-designed, making for a very convenient stay. The soundproofing was exceptional; the quiet environment was incredibly relaxing, and I slept wonderfully. The hotel's service was truly a highlight; the 'Fu Bao Bao' staff were polite throughout, providing thoughtful and attentive service. You could feel the dedication in every detail. This stay was superb, I've already recommended it to friends, five-star review!

My experience at Shangri-La Changchun was absolutely perfect. The hotel is located in the city center, making transportation convenient and getting around a breeze. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with excellent soundproofing, ensuring a good night's sleep even in a roadside room. The service details were impeccable; the front desk staff, especially a young lady, was warm and attentive, even offering complimentary breakfast for my child. Breakfast was abundant and delicious. Check-in was efficient and swift, with a professional and friendly attitude, and they were always ready to assist. The gym and heated pool facilities are well-equipped, and I'd love to try them out next time. This will definitely be my first choice when I visit Changchun again.

This hotel truly embodies the warm hospitality of Northeast China! The service was incredibly enthusiastic and always came with a smile. We especially loved the complimentary wellness tea in the lobby; it was so comforting to have a warm cup after being out in the snowy weather, and they were happy to refill it for us when we asked for more. The hotel allows food deliveries, and a robot brings them directly to your room, which is an absolute godsend! It's so warm inside the room that having to bundle up, go down to the first floor to pick up an order, and then peel off all those layers again would have been a real hassle. So, a huge thank you for the robot service! We accidentally stained the sheets and duvet cover twice, and the service was prompt and efficient in replacing them each time. The location is fantastic, right in the city center with a bus stop directly outside the hotel, making it easy to get anywhere. Given how cold it was, we mostly took taxis, and the hotel's street-side location made pickups and drop-offs very convenient. I highly recommend this hotel!

Every year when I return to Tonghua to visit family, I always stay at the Wanfeng Beichen Wuzhou Crown Hotel. The hotel is quiet, spacious, comfortable, and clean. Outside the window, I see rolling mountains, a sea of greenery, and the air is wonderful. The service is also excellent. It would be even better if the king-size rooms had refrigerators.
