The "Moderne" in the 21st Century”

I had read about this hotel, (and the famous kidnapping/murder of its owner's son), as a result of some research I had been undertaking, and wanted to experience it for myself, so when a research trip to Harbin was called for, it was inevitable that I would stay here. The hotel is well-placed for anyone who wants to see the few remaining bleached white bones of Imperial Russia's influence in Harbin. It has more historical artifacts on display in the lobby than all the museums that I visited, and the staff are pleasant and helpful. I would stay there again if I went back.

Hisrotical bulding and dumpling restaurant”

The check-in counter is first sightseeing spot in Harbin. I have seen many tourists took photos in front of the historical buildings hotel, which locates just center of Harbin main shopping district. And it has good dumpling restaurant down stairs, who serves jasmine tea dumplings. I enjoyed them so much.

Lovely hotel and great location.”

the major issue that 'killed' me was the smoking and smoke. the smoke is all over the hotel, even in my room. i had to cover my face/nose with a towel. the second problem was the air conditioner was not working at the gear "3". the highest (coldest) it worked was gear "2". the inconvenient part was that the hotel does not have an atm cash machine and does not have foreign currency exchange service. regardless, i would stay again at the madieer/morden hotel next time i visit harbin.

old hotel”

this is a historic hotel with new sections. Location and service are both good. We arrive late and no lights on. The old one is good looking and the new one is 'old'. Bathroom water slow and the toilet is slow too. They need to upgrade that. If you go to Harbin, be prepare for the transportation problem because it is difficult to call a taxi and the hotel do not have and car available.

I'd stay here again.”

I arrived about midnight and the hotel was dark, looking closed, but there were two people of duty under a dim light. I was taken to a room on the second floor, which was small and stank of tobacco smoke. When I said that I could not stay there, I was taken to the top, 4th floor, and given a very nice small suite with skylights. An excellent room. Although the hotel is called The Modern, it was built in 1923 (well, it was modern then) and has great historical charm, having been modernized. The buffet breakfast was excellent. The location could not have been better as well. I'd stay here again.

Great Location”

Most of the staff spoke decent enough English "enough to get by", they were helpful to our requests. The Hotel was clean and had some very interesting antiques on display. The room was clean and above all warm, maybe too warm. The breakfast was a little to be desired. It was...well...very Chinese but we are China after all. There are plenty over spots to eat nearby. The location was the biggest seller for us. It is slap bang in the middle of the main street and we pretty much walked everywhere we would be go Sofia, Zhaolin Park, and Songhau river are all within 15mins if not closer. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would recommend it to others. A great experience and certainly more unique than the big chains you might usually stay at.

Average Hotel could do with a makeover.”

This is an old hotel that could really do with a bit of a renovation in the rooms. It was very clean & the lobby area was nice. The coffee in the cafe was horrible & very expensive. No Wifi in the rooms so you had to resort to sitting in the lobby. The staff were very nice though had limited English. Even though we had paid in full we still had to provide another cash deposit on check in. I had trouble locating my receipt & the girl didn't want to return my deposit without it even though they had records that I paid, luckily it was found in our room by the cleaning staff. Also the windows in our room were covered with ugly plastic sheeting which I felt was unacceptable for a hotel of this standard. Beds were also very hard but I realise this is very typical for a lot of Asian countries. My sons have previously stayed at the Ibis which is a lot cheaper & thought the Modern Hotel was not worth the extra money.

Where else would you stay”

while the room was not renovated (which we didn't mind, being China buffs), the staff at the hotel more than made up for it, and the location was great for everything we wanted to do. Staff helped organize trips to the ice festival, let us check in super early (9am), and also booked a car to the tiger park. perhaps would have been made a little harder if you don't speak chinese,

The Delightful Modern”

English communication was difficult. I had booked a standard room which was grim with no view. I couldn't really understand the price difference but the upgraded room was 1000% better and made my stay. Was surprised that breakfast was not included. I am really glad I stayed there and in the better room.

Great location, friendly service”

This historic hotel has pleasant and clean rooms. It is conveniently located in walking distance to sites, shops and restaurants. We used their English speaking travel service on level 2 which made our trip more enjoyable being able to easily organise tansport and guides as need by our large group of friends. The breakfast is average by western standards and when the food ran out they weren't quick to restock the buffet. But we didn't go hungry.

Great, we recommend ”

In 1900's style, room we booked (Euro-style) was quite good. Moreover, location is just perfect : on Zhong Yang Da Jie and 2 mn walk from Zaolin Park (Ice Festival). Breakfast is also quite good with a lot of choice We do recommend

Lovely hotel and service was very pleasant.”

Great location although it did take 1.5 hours in peak traffic from the airport in a taxi, early morning it on took 30 mins. We walked to most attractions that we wanted to see in our short time there and we're very happy.

Great location”

Very little English, not necessarily catering for international tourists. Pleasant stay, location and room.

Historical Hotel”

Historical Hotel Interesting to read and discover the past through this Hotel

Great location but poor service.”

Just Okay 3 problems, one check-in took half an hour, the bed was rock hard and there was very limited outlets to charge mobile devices. After this 3 things everything else was good.

ロケーションは一等地”

　レストランに昼食をしに行った。ウェイトレスがEnglishと言う言葉を知らない。どう話をしても通じない。私は椅子で待ったが20分しても誰もやってこない。メニューすら来ない。さっき話の通じなかったウェイトレスは頻繁に私の前を通るのだが、知らん振り。結局20分して席を立ってレストランを出るしかなかった。 　ロビーのカフェ、メニューからアイスカフェラッテをそして友達はカフェマキアートを頼む。ウェイターはホットコーヒーを持ってくる。相手の中国人はウェイターにアイスカフェラッテて言ったでしょうと詰め寄るが、彼らはカフェラッテがどう言うコーヒーか知らない。そして70元のところを95元請求する。それは2日連続で続いた。さすがに2日目は連れの中国人が怒った。するととりすぎた25元を戻しに来た。悪びれもせず、誤りの一言もない。 　相当腕の悪いピアニストが、調律の出来ていないピアノで下手なピアノを弾く。私が曲を注文した。当然彼は知らない。と言うより英語で書かれた英語の曲を彼が読めない。この本の中から選んでくれと言うので、仕方なしに選んだ。 　勘定の時にやけに高いので何故かと聞いたら、ピアノの曲を注文したから100元だと言う。世界中30ヶ国を旅行してきて、ピアノ曲を注文し、金を取られた（1曲100元1250円）のは、後にも先にもこのホテルのピアノ弾きだけだ。 　ここのホテルの従業員もまた、英語に関心がない。

Convenient”

ロケーションがいい”

このホテルそのものが観光名所です。 したがってロケーションは最高です。 ホテルスタッフは中国語・英語がダメな私に日本語でなんとかサービスしようとしてくれます。 ここまでは最高なのですがお風呂のお湯が出ませんでした。つらいです。だから他人にオススメはできませんが、わたしはまた泊りたいと思いました。

立地はいいが・・・”

氷雪大世界を見るために、２泊しました。 ヨーロピアンスイートのバスタブ付をリクエストしており、当日バウチャーを忘れてしまいましたが、ちゃんと予約できていました。チェックイン時にデポジットを２００元支払います。 きれいに掃除されていますが、全体的な古さはぬぐえません。 特にシャワーヘッドが固定式で、壊れていたこともありかなり使いづらかったです。 暑いお湯はすぐに出ました。 なお、中央大街に面していますが、ホテルの正面玄関は裏側になります。 中央大街からはわかりづらいです。きをつけてください。 お部屋も狭いです。 立地はよいですが、次回はもう少しいいホテルに泊まりたいと思います。

歴史感じるクラッシックなホテル”

観光のメインストリート、中央大街の中央に位置している。古き良き戦前の街並みを残しており、非常に歴史を感じられる場所。ホテルも当時より続く歴史ある建築と内装に圧倒される。歴代の宿泊客の写真や古い銀食器などが展示されているスペースもある。客室にはピッチャーに水（加熱して飲用）とペットボトルが用意されてあり助かりました。
