Cheap Hotels in Tumen

"The hotel is clean and the location is excellent. It is close to the Tumen Morning Market, which opens between 6 and 7 AM. If you exit the hotel entrance and walk about 150 meters to the right, the morning market is located at the first intersection you encounter. There is a Cantonese-style changfen restaurant at this intersection that opens at 6 AM and sells changfen in the evening as well. The food is delicious. The porridge, soft tofu, and pancakes sold at the morning market are also very tasty. Do not go to the place selling honey in the middle of the morning market. For locals, they weighed the honey precisely to give 1kg in a small bottle and 2.5kg in a large bottle, but for foreigners, they charged the full price even though the amount of honey indicated on the scale was less. The hotel is close to the Sino-Korean Railway, the border marker, and the Namyangjeong Observatory, where you can view North Korea. However, please note that, separate from the accommodation registration completed upon check-in, foreigners are required to complete an additional registration procedure before visiting the Nanyang Pavilion Observatory. Korean tourists visiting Tumen should take note of this. (We didn't realize we had to register again at the tourist site separate from our accommodation registration, so we went up to the observation deck without completing the registration procedure in front of the entrance to Namyangjeong. Afterward, we were stopped and dragged down from the observation deck by an elderly man wearing a fluorescent vest who spoke fluent Korean. I don't know the reason, but please note that while being escorted to the Public Security Office, the old man turned on a video app to continuously record our conversation and secretly filmed us. My legs ached and it was hot during the 30 minutes we stood and were interrogated at the office, so after completing the registration procedure, we did not go back up to Namyangjeong and returned to our accommodation. To avoid the same predicament we faced, please stop by the Public Security Office before going up to the Namyangjeong observation deck.) If you do not want to be stopped by security at Namyangjeong, go to Tumen River Park instead. You can see North Korea from there, albeit on a smaller scale. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the hotel to the park. If you buy ice cream at a shop, you can briefly view the North Korean scenery through the shop's binoculars. If you take Bus No. 9 (2 yuan) from Tumen North Station and get off at the final stop, Tumenkouan, the hotel is about a 1km walk away. (When searching for the route to the hotel on Baidu Maps, it suggests getting off at the next stop past Tumenkouan, but the bus driver says that all passengers must get off at Tumenkouan. If possible, please use Didi instead of taking the bus from Tumen North Station.) If you take Didi, the fare from Tumen North Station to the hotel is about 17 yuan. There is a water dispenser on the first floor that provides both hot and room-temperature water, so you do not need to buy bottled water."

"The National Guesthouse in Tumen City is quite interesting! It's perfect for those on a road trip. There's a large parking lot in the courtyard, making it as convenient as being at home. You can also have breakfast there for 10 yuan per person, but you need to book and pay in advance—it's like a state-run canteen. The food is simple, but tasty. When you're traveling, who can be so picky! The most reassuring thing is that they provide emergency first-aid kits, which many hotels don't have."

"My stay at the Bosi Business Hotel was an incredible experience! The room was exceptionally clean and tidy, the bedding soft and odor-free, the desks and windowsills spotless, and even the bathroom wash area was kept pristine and tidy, making for a truly comfortable stay. The dining experience also exceeded expectations. The breakfast was plentiful, the hot dishes fresh and flavorful, the porridge dense and the pastries fluffy—every bite was filled with care. What impressed me most was the service. From the proactive assistance with luggage upon check-in to the prompt assistance during my stay, the staff always greeted me with a smile and were attentive and considerate. This provides a secure stay, satisfying meals, and heartwarming service. When visiting Tumen, definitely choose Bosi."

"We paid the difference at the front desk because they had mistakenly booked the wrong room, and we were upgraded to two 1.5m rooms. The room was quite large, and while the facilities weren't as new as those for a newly opened hotel, I personally thought they were acceptable. There are about two or three street parking spaces in front of the hotel, but the front desk told us that most of the marked parking spaces are free… There's a restaurant street next to the hotel; there's also a morning market in front of the hotel; and there's a supermarket downstairs next door with Korean and North Korean snacks, meat, ice cream, etc., at reasonable prices. The hotel is about a 5 RMB taxi ride from the highway border crossing scenic area."

"The room facilities are relatively old, but they are all very clean. The taxi driver said it is a very good local hotel. The breakfast is relatively simple, with porridge, milk, steamed buns and eggs, side dishes, and hot dishes. It feels good to have a hot breakfast in the hotel when the weather is cold. The river view room is just outside the Tumen River, and you can also see Nanyang City. The location is very good. If it is not too cold, you can walk along the river for more than 10 minutes to the highway gate. The scenery is very good and convenient. The hotel staff are also very enthusiastic. It feels great."

"Conveniently located near Tumen River Square, with complete facilities including a projector. Attentive service and beautiful environment. Experiencing the rich culture of the Korean ethnic group and enjoying the beautiful scenery in Tumen is truly meaningful."
