Hot Springs Hotels in Jilin, China

The hotel's location is a bit remote, but that's typical for hot spring hotels. I communicated with the front desk a few days before arrival. I sent them my high-speed rail information and scheduled a pickup at Changbaishan Station. So, despite the somewhat remote location, the hotel's shuttle service was excellent. The front desk staff were also very good. When I arrived, I had intended for the front desk to book a rafting trip for me, but it turned out the hotel's contract with the rafting company had expired, so we had to sort it out ourselves. (I had inquired with the front desk a week prior, and they said it could be arranged there. I was surprised to find upon arrival that the hotel had just canceled its contract with the rafting company.) I want to be clear, I'm not blaming the hotel; it was just bad luck. I do hope the hotel can continue to assist out-of-towners in the future, as foreigners often face difficulties booking things in China without local phone numbers. I wanted to see Tianchi Lake, but it was closed all three days I was there. Rafting was also out. So, I ended up staying at the hotel. However, I enjoyed several hot spring baths, visited the gym, and the hotel can also arrange skiing for you. We didn't go skiing because we had elderly people with us. So, staying at the hotel wasn't bad at all. There are only two restaurants: a Korean restaurant and the hotel's buffet. The food was good, but the dinner shrimp seemed to be limited. I arrived at 7:30 PM and only got two shrimp, while my dad got five. Then there were none left, and the restaurant staff didn't replenish them. The room was very large and clean. I particularly liked the rooms at this hotel. The hot spring has both indoor and outdoor sections. I might return in the future.

The Northeastern charm is definitely present here. I really enjoyed the barbecue restaurant's flavors. The hotel itself was also very satisfying; the staff were warm and generous. The front desk was professional and patient. The hotel amenities were practical too, with various tea bags and drinks offered for free. There's also a paid selection of other items at the 'Heart's Choice' shop. The hot spring was clean and tidy. I made the right choice!

I really need to write a thorough review for this one! First and foremost, a huge thank you to my butler, James Mu Xueman. She's an absolutely wonderful young lady – so attentive, responsible, and kind. As a mom from the south, bringing my child to Wanda for skiing, my kid had a full and happy time staying here for several days. Skiing, playing in the snow, and soaking in the hot springs were all fantastic. The JinHua Resort Hotel is incredibly, unbelievably convenient. I originally booked the Park Hyatt, but then I heard from others that it was a bit far from the ski town. I'm so glad I switched to JinHua! The price was half that of the Park Hyatt, and most importantly, it couldn't be more convenient when traveling with kids – the ski center and restaurants in town are right next door! The room view was also super good. Xueman saw that I liked honey, so she had the housekeeper send up a few more bottles – one a day, making every day sweet! The room was also very clean, and the bed was huge. Even though it was more expensive over the Chinese New Year holiday, the included ski benefits and many other entertainment options made it really worth it. We hired three one-on-one ski instructors, and my child learned very quickly, always wanting more skiing each day. I will definitely choose JinHua Resort Hotel again for my next visit! I hope I'll get to meet Xueman again!

I booked a Stone Age-themed room, which my kids absolutely loved and had a blast playing in. The complimentary hot spring tickets were a fantastic value. From the moment I got off the bus and walked through the gate, I felt the service was exceptional. The doorman, the front desk, and even staff I didn't recognize were all incredibly welcoming and helpful. The infinity pool inside the hot springs was stunning, the food was reasonably priced, and the bath attendants were incredibly helpful, offering helpful guidance on every floor. Ms. Lin Haixia was especially helpful. She was my lucky star. I was just worried about getting a return ticket, and she just chatted with me and got a notification on her phone that she had been put on the waiting list. So lucky!

Due to a change in our itinerary, we booked a hotel on short notice. Upon check-in, we found it far exceeded our expectations. The room was clean and tidy, the service staff was very professional, and a heartwarming incident occurred. After checking out, I was over 100 kilometers away from the hotel when I realized I had left my wallet in the room. After contacting the hotel, the staff immediately helped me find my wallet. Because cash can't be delivered by express, the waiter put the money in my card and transferred it to me via WeChat. They were very patient throughout the process, and the problem was quickly resolved. It's inevitable that there will be omissions when you're away from home, but it's very touching to meet such people! A big thumbs up to the hotel staff 👍🏻

When I was planning my trip, I looked at a lot of hotels. Honestly, we rarely choose hotels that have been operating for a very long time when we travel. However, after seeing many bloggers' recommendations and explanations, I ultimately chose the Crown Plaza 👑. **Facilities:** The decor is indeed an older style, but I have to say, the hotel's facilities were incredibly detailed and sophisticated for their time. This hotel must have been considered super luxurious when it first opened. First, it has a wet/dry separation in the bathroom, which many new hotels and even five-star establishments don't necessarily offer. Second, the sink faucets are positioned high, which saves most of us from back strain. Third, there are hooks outside the shower for hanging clothes – such a simple amenity, yet many hotels lack a place for clean clothes while showering. Finally, the shower stall has a built-in seat, the water pressure is strong, the water is hot and comfortable, and the showerhead isn't wobbly from long-term use. **Environment:** It's located mid-slope on Changbai Mountain. I asked the driver, and he said the Crown Plaza is already one of the highest hotels on the mountain in the vicinity, surrounded by pristine forests. It's the closest hotel to the North Slope scenic area and even offers an exclusive VIP transfer channel. There's also a shuttle bus that circulates within the scenic area to pick up and drop off guests at the hotel. What I loved most is that Julong Hot Springs is right inside the hotel, offering unlimited free access to natural volcanic springs, which washes away a day's fatigue. It's incredibly pleasant to soak in the warm, comfortable hot spring while watching the snowy world outside. **Service:** Super-duper VIP! Even before I checked in, various butler services contacted me to arrange everything before and after my stay, including hotel transfers, booking my itinerary for the next day, and VIP transfers to the North Slope. Whatever difficulties I encountered, they were immediately handled. A huge thank you to hotel butlers Shanqiu and Songyue, and travel butler Smile, for making guests feel at home and alleviating the anxiety of arriving in an unfamiliar city. 🙏 To all the hotel staff, everyone shines in their role! 👍👍

Stayed in a 4 bedrooms & 3 bathroom suite. The electricity went out twice 😱 😨 but they managed to fix it within 10 mins of reporting. Able to wash clothes and the heater is good. The manager allowed us to shower in next room as the waiting time between each person to shower is 30 mins. Seems to be the case for most apartment. They gave us ginseng soup as souvenirs too. Overall happy with the stay as we did hot spring too & breakfast was quite good. Managed to go to Changbaishan mountain which is very convenient

The facilities and equipment are very complete, the sanitation is very clean, and the environment is very good. The staff on the first floor are very enthusiastic and will come back often.

This ski trip was fantastic! The hotel's location is perfect, right on the slopes, making it incredibly convenient. The room was clean and tidy, with great natural light and views. Lucia provided warm and attentive service. The hotel facilities are comprehensive, and it offers excellent value for money. It was so comfortable to relax after skiing. The overall atmosphere was cozy and pleasant, making it ideal for a ski vacation. Highly recommend it to all fellow skiers!

Normally, when I book a B&B, I always check how the owner responds to negative reviews. If they put a lot of effort into addressing and resolving issues, the experience is usually pretty good. The hotel's breakfast quality was on point, with fruit, salad, and pastries available in the mornings. It got a bit repetitive after three days, but the taste was still good. The shuttle service for getting around was super convenient, and they proactively helped with luggage. Despite temperatures of -20 to -30 degrees Celsius, the water in the hot tub was around 40 degrees, but my head was freezing and aching! The B&B's hot spring pool isn't really suitable for photos, and it was just too cold to actually enjoy a soak. They really tried their best to meet all our requests though!
