Chunyi Hotel

This was our second stay in three days - both times because of the nearness to Changchun Railway Station - and again we enjoyed the excellent service (even if your phone runs out of battery, there’s a two day weather forecast on your desk together with water and snacks, s. photo), classic Chinese hard mattresses and pillows (good for our backs) and the history exhibits that remind guests of the fact this hotel was first opened in 1909 in this very building. This time, we did have time for their extensive breakfast buffet and it is indeed extensive: salad, various types of eggs, oats, fruit, cakes, Chinese dumplings, Chinese porridge (the local “hei mi” black rice is lovely), fried noodles, rice, steamed veggies and buns, toast, jam, various Chinese hot dishes, freshly made noodles, ….you get the idea. The only regret we had: they have a coffee machine - for instant coffee…. Lots of lovely teas, but only instant coffee, alas. You can’t beat their price, either: RMB 304 for a twin bedroom including two breakfasts and two vouchers for afternoon tea.

First of all, the hotel accepts foreigners (as of December 2023). The hotel is located just outside Changchun Railway Station, as well as lines 1 and 3 of the metro, and various buses, which is very convenient. Do note that to get there, you need to take the underpass and go out at the Shengli Road (South) exit. The hotel itself is very good, the room is spacious, has all the necessary facilities and those are in good condition. The staff was very kind and helpful, allowing an early check-in and storing the luggage upon check-out. Overall, a great option if you're visiting Changchun.

중국어가 안되는 저를 위하여 직원분들께서 최대한 도와주시고 친절히 천천히 알려주셨어요. 호텔은 연식이 있었지만 방 자체가 넓고 깔끔하고 볕도 잘 들어서 잘 지냈습니다. 조식도 깔끔하게 나와서 향나는 음식 잘 못먹는 저도 잘 먹었습니다 ! 다음 날 기차 타야해서 고른 호텔이었는데 최고의 선택이였다고 생각 됩니다. 다만 샤워기가 해바라기 샤워기 밖에 없는거는 조금 아쉬웠네요.
