“Not 5* but very good hotel in Jilin”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

I stayed in this hotel in my New Year vacation. It is good hotel but it needs some improvements. Carpet in the room was dirty and TV set was old. I liked room service. You can find everything you need in your room. Breakfasts was very tasty and included both chinese and european cuisine. There was free internet in hotel. You can use fitness center, swimming pool and sauna for free. But water in pool was cold and sauna was not so hot as I had expected. There are two good restaurants with tasty food and good service in hotel. You can eat japanese, chinese or european cuisine. It is not very expensive.
There is Metheorite museum near this hotel. Also shops, restaurants and night clubs are not far from hotel.

“Nice Hotel, Needs Some Updating and Repairs”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2011

Stayed here for Four nights. Beds are extremely hard, probably the hardest beds I ever slept on. very small pillows. The room was rough and could use a little paint and a face lift.
Bathroom was extremely rough but everything worked fine and had good water pressure.
Nothing like a 4 or 5 star western hotel but overall everything was pretty clean and it sounds like in comparison probably one of the better places to stay in Jilin. Very limited western breakfast items on the morning buffet. I'm not too much of a picky eater but just had a hard time finding enough items in the morning that I was comfortable with in comparison to what I was familiar with in western standards
There was a night stand next to the bed with all the controls for the lights and it took a little while to figure out what ever thing operated. There is Do Not Disturb switch for privacy. Reminded me something from a early James Bond movie.
Everyone was very friendly and did not have any problem with anyone understanding English. This was my first trip outside of Shanghai and Hong Kong and more into northern China. The trip from Changchun airport to Jilin was good, almost a hour.
Taxis are easy to get and the location seemed to be fine for me.
Overall a good experience. They were remolding one large wing of the hotel while I was there as well so expect improvements in the rooms in the future.

Room Tip: Wait until the remodeling is finished :)

“Go & stay in Changchun”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2009

Stayed there for 2 nights while on a biz trip in August. Overall room was ok & spacious enough to accommodate a family of three but cleanness wise, it was average. Room service menu was extremely limited & was till 11pm only. Air-conditioning in the room was bad and you can feel dust mites in the room as well. Bathroom was spacious but had some very funny sounds every time I used the shower :)) Apparently this is the best hotel in Jilin city so my advise would be, don't stay in Jilin city at all. It only takes 1hr to get to Changchun which has more international choices.

“Appears to be the best hotel in Jilin”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2009

This was the first choice hotel prior to our visit to Jilin based on other reviews we read on Tripadvisor. When we got there, there were a number of "problems" at check-in:

1) We were a party of four and had two bookings. For the first booking, we booked a king size bed room but were given a two double beds room. The hotel tried to make it up to us by honouring the second booking with their supposed presidential suite (which had mould in the ceiling of the bathroom - it was right on top of the shower, so that did not bother us much as there was no leak from the ceiling).

2) The hotel did not provide us with a "room rate card" which confirmed the rate. When we asked for one, we were told that everything was in the computer and that everything was okay. That seemed strange because we have never been denied a request for a rate card at every hotel we have been before. This turned out to be a non-issue as the invoice provided at check-out indicated the rate as quoted.

The cleanliness of the hotel is probably the best feature of the hotel. There were no visible bugs and the bathroom was virtually spotless. That is quite impressive given the age of the hotel. Wired internet was provided free of charge.

Because of our check-in experience, we decided to move to Empire Garden hotel for the second day but that turned out to be a mistake. (See my review of that hotel.)
