Harbin Shangjin Express Hotel (Sofia Church) Reviews

Happy with our stay. The rooms are simple but provide everything necessary. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Nice cheap place with many good tourist destinations within a 10 min drive

Stayed for two nights. It’s very convenient, it’s within walking distance of Saint Sophia’s cathedral. The owner was very helpful, he answered most of the questions I had about the city and activities or places that I should visit.

I travel from Singapore to Harbin and stay here for 5days, the room not very clean but not dirty. The boss was very helpfully and kind. Everything we don know we just ask him and he will help us. He will recommend us the food and help us to buy the “Bing  Xue Da Shi Jie” tikect which was unable to buy through online as open on 21Dec. I will choose to stay here again if I go there again. The hostel location was very convenient and near to all the famous travel points.

No lift service, we need to carry our luggage to the second floor

The hotel was great and close enough to walk to St. Sophia Cathedral and Central street. The room was clean and the owner stayed up late until I arrived at the hotel. He was friendly and very patient with the communication since I cant speak chinese fluently. The hotel is equipped with underfloor heating and very cosy! There is a noodle shop right across the street which serves very tasty 拉面 spicy soup noodles and was one of the best I have had in my four years in China. The cat is also very friendly in the lobby! I would recommend this hotel anytime as it was good value for money and a cosy stay! Thank you for everything!

The hotel itself is a little run down, and the room is so so. Little weird that the bathroom has no mirror. There is a few marks of wear and tears in the room. Our first room had a very strong smell of smoke since smoking is allowed inside, but there was no problem switching to a room that didn’t have a smoke smell! The location is a little outside of things that is happening, but DIDI is cheap and easy to get. The manager/hotel host is 5/5, very helpful and happy to help! The cat is a big plus too! Would 100% recommend if you’re Okei with little lower room standard, it is cheap and with a helpful worker!

Nice and clean room. Lovely host and cozy building inside. Also there is a vend machine with beverage which is very convenient. ☺️

The room was very warm, I noticed my anxiety about Harbin's cold night was no more matter. Although there were a few inconveniences, the hair dryer was shared and it was not available sometimes, the room key didn't work frequently and the cute cat wasn't friendly with me...🥲, I had enjoyed Harbin thanks to the kind owner. 谢谢！

Good hotel. Not far from the central. Can lately check in. Nice and warm service from boss. Thank you for advice and helping.

The owner is nice and has a cute pet cat! He let us check in earlier, leave our luggage on our last day as we wait for our train, and gave us free bottled water, all of which we appreciate. We enjoyed our stay! I just wish the owner did not smoke as much, as sometimes we smelled cigarette smoke in the hotel lobby. Other than that, everything is good!

Although the room is small, it is very clean. Although there is no automatic refill of daily necessities, you can tell the front desk and they will be available. The attitude is very good and the stay is comfortable and happy.

The owner was welcoming, and the room was very clean.

When checking in and checking out and leaving luggage The front desk staff or the owner were rude When checking in, I apologized for arriving late, but they didn't even pretend to hear me I thought they didn't hear, so I asked again, but they didn't even look up The room was very small and had almost no soundproofing The location was far from the downtown area, so it was inconvenient to move around It was located on the outskirts by itself, so You had to walk for 20-30 minutes to get to the downtown area.
