I spent my first night at Harbin in another hotel that was well below standard. I moved out first thing the next morning to the Modern Hotel. I found the staff at this hotel to be excellent, the travel agency on the second floor was wonderful and spoke good English. my room was good, bed comfortable and and view was... More

We chose this hotel because our family history is connected to this hotel, which was established about 100 years ago. The hotel location is great - right in the middle of Harbin walking street. The facade of the buidilng was conserved to keep its historical atmoshpere, as well as a collection of photographs and artifacts in the lobby reflecting the... More

We went as a group (6 couples, some with kids) and all stayed at the Modern Hotel. OK, so you pay a little more than you do for other Hotels around China, but is a "peak" season for the festival and we had a funky, comfortable and warm room. The buffet breaksfast is fine, they do up omeletes etc for... More

There are plenty of good remarks about this hotel. Well, if you have been travelling around China paying the same price (1000Y), you'll be dissapointed : you can have an Intercontinental far cheaper in other big cities. 1/ First surpise : they freeze a deposit higher than the total price of your stay. (3200Y for a quotation of 2800Y in... More

Nice hotel, perfect location, very polite staff, good room, good bed, good food, everything was clean. It is old historical building, fixed and renovated. There is the whole collection of old Russian household items on the first floor in lobby. Breakfast was great. Location is the best: the very center of old city, right on the so called "Arbat" pedestrian... More

We stayed at the Modern Hotel the last week of December while in town to catch the lead up to the ice festival. We've lived in China for six years and had a great time in Harbin, but not at the Modern Hotel. First, the only good thing that I can say about the hotel is that the location is... More

The hotel is getting a little dated. What was once the best hotel in Harbin is starting to look a little tired. The room was a little small, the heating was very hot, the breakfast was ok and the staff were very helpful. The hotel is situated in the middle of the walking street, a good position.

This hotel we will choose again. It was a quit clean hotel with electrical outlet in bathroom and friendly english speaking personal and for us importent: a very good breakfast buffet. Beds are a little bit hard.

We stayed here for 4 nights during the 60th National Day celebrations - double room with breakfast 350 yuan per night. The room was spacious and clean with free internet access. The bathroom was fine with lots of hot water 24 hours. The staff were polite, helpful and attentive - almost all spoke pretty good English. When we had trouble... More
