AMAZING

The Russia-Europa Hotel in Harbin is the perfect place to stay if you manage your expectations. The hallways and corners show the wear-and-tear, but overall we felt it was excellent value for the price.

Our room was spacious, with a bedroom and adjoining sitting room. The room was clean, but if you are expecting Ritz standards you might find it a little musty. Kind of felt like my grandmother's house. The shower was fantastic, and we spent lots of time luxuriating under the hot water and good pressure. It is Chinese style, however, so be prepared for a wet floor and toilet seat in the bathroom after showering. 

There was no fridge in the room, but since it was minus-20 degrees outside in January we hooked our bag of beer on the window latch to keep it cold. Ingenious, right?

Staff were very friendly, but didn't speak any English. Translator app on the phone worked fine, and they were helpful in pointing us to the right bus stops and restaurants. Prices in the hotel gift "shop" were lower for the same items than the tourist shops next to Saint Sofia.

Breakfast buffet was fine, but not at all western. Lots of food, but more dinner-type items for western sensibilities. The coffee was not good, and you need to figure out the hot drink machine with the little bowls instead of cups.

The best thing about this hotel is the location. Five minutes walk from Saint Sofia, so right in the heart of everything. Three minutes to the big pedestrian street.

We will stay here next time we come to Harbin.

Old but good

Before the World War II, Japan Tourist Bureau’s “Manchuria Tourist Guide” was introducing this hotel as “the Europe Hotel”. This historic hotel is still locating at Harbin’s famous shopping area Zhongyang street. The building has also a quaint atmosphere in good and bad meaning.

The breakfast of this hotel is mostly Chinese dishes. I felt they are good enough.
A good point of this hotel is its location. There are many restaurants around this hotel including Russian and other Western cuisine. A supermarket is also locating very close to this hotel.
On the other way, a bad point of this old room is the bath room. As the shower is too close to the toilet and there is no curtain between the shower and the toilet, the floor of toilet is always wet and you have to put sandals on when you use the toilet.

満州時代には交通公社の満州旅行案内にヨーロッパホテルとして紹介されていた、歴史あるホテルです。
朝食は中華中心で、哈爾濱名物の腸詰もありました。
掃除はよくされていましたが、トイレとシャワーが非常に近く、常にトイレの床が濡れてしまうのは難点でしょうか。

Historic Hotel

The only good thing I have to say about this hotel is the location which is great. Unfortunately, that is where it stops. Two star at best which is ok if the price reflected two star. The hotel is very tired and in urgent need of renovating. The rooms are ordinary to say the least. Carpets in common areas are years old badly worn and dirty. The shower in our room was right next to the toilet with no shower curtain the toilet was always wet. The breakfast was inedible cold and boring. We only had breakfast first day then ventured out for food as the breakfast was that bad. The staff were friendly but could not speak any English which made things difficult. Could not recommend this hotel to anyone as there are better to choose from at better prices,

Tired and dissapointing

This marks my first one-star review on TripAdvisor - quite a feat, as I've stayed at some questionable places around the world. This hotel was booked for us and we were dropped off late at night so had no other choice but to soldier through until 6:00 a.m. the next morning when we got picked up. 

Pros:
Close to the absolutely awesome Zhongyang Pedestrian Street. 
Front desk staff were very polite and tried their hardest to communicate via a translation phone app.

Cons:
Absolutely filthy room: hair all over the floor and sink along with random debris in the sink; sticky light switches; spiderwebs and grime everywhere. Although at least the sheets on the bed were clean as far as I could tell.
Thin pillows
Paper thin walls so you can hear everything going on in the hallway and in your neighbor's room
Paper thin doors that sounded like anyone could just break in
Horrible air conditioner unit that never did cool the room, so it was uncomfortably warm all night
My room did not have this issue, but a colleague said her room reeked of cigarette smoke
Weird shower that opens directly on to the toilet (okay when you are aboard a boat, bad when you are in a building)

All in all, a very bad place. Not recommended, no matter how cheap the price.
