Had an opportunity to spend three nights at this hotel. ||The room had some good features and not so good. ||The bed and linens were good. The toilet was a bidet toilet which was state of the art and excellent. The shower was good but it was leaking through to the bedroom wall and there was mould in the wall as a result. ||Heavy cigarette smells and people smoking in the hall and in the rooms even though there were no smoking signs posted. Not great. ||Food in the hotel was very good, no North American food which was fine for me as I really enjoyed exploring the generous, clean buffet. People didn’t smoke in the restaurant (thank goodness)||Restaurant was clean and the main hotel areas were also clean and had water features that were populated with Coy. ||Most staff do not speak or understand English but I managed to get by on hand signalling and gestures. ||The hotel was a nice spa with tons of amenities. If you are a shy Canadian the level of nudity can be at first a little disconcerting. I had a massage and cupping treatments. Some of my colleague indulged in a...
Read moreAs far as I know, Hawaii International Hotel Mudanjiang is the only five star hotel in Mudanjiang. First I wanted to book a room in Golden Dome International, 4 stars, but the prices were pretty steep and the quality was not that good. Hawaii International is really a nice hotel with a great SPA, seafood and western restaurant and other wide variety of services. The rooms are nice and clean and besides a faint smell (which you wont notice after a while) in some of them I cant really say anything bad about any of them. The hotel has 17 floors and has a good view of the town of MDJ. The staff was polite and helpful, but their english was rather poor. As I am from Europe, I find the prices really cheap. For example you can get a really spacious twin beds room for 340 yuan to 410 yuan (34-41 euros) per night. The presidential suite will cost you 1300 euros but the second best - deluxe suite just 200 euros per night. The hotel has everything that you would expect from a five star hotel and maybe...
Read moreI stayed here 3 nights on business in early June 2012. The hotel is supposed to be the nicest in Mudanjiang I have been told and generally speaking, it is indeed quite nice. The fitness center is truly five star! The rooms are very nice but mine had poorly performing air conditioner. It wasn't so much of a problem because outside temperatures were moderate and I just slept with windows open. I speak no Chinese whatsoever and the staff speak very little English so be aware. I had colleagues to translate for me and everyone was very friendly so a smile and gestures will take you far! The variety at the breakfast buffet is amazing and the food was excellent all day long. I noted a previous review commented on the smoking. It is very true that Chinese seem to smoke everywhere but I doubt the hotel can be entirely...
