New Century Grand Hotel Changchun

“Good for a business trip”

I booked this hotel because it said that it had a fitness room. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the hotel was. The decor of the lobby was beautiful, the breakfast was surprisingly good, and there were actually quite a few machines at the fitness center. Good to stay for a business trip.

“Enjoyable Stay”

The hotel is in a suburban area of this city of 7.5 million people. The room was surprisingly large as was the bathroom. The wardrobe light came on when the door was opened.

The hotel is in a suburban area of this city of 7.5 million people. The room was surprisingly large as was the bathroom. The wardrobe light came on when the door was opened. The staff were very efficient and suitcases were brought to the room quickly. The wifi was much more reliable than at some other hotels we stayed at on our holiday. The breakfast was OK, there being plenty of food choices although less Western food than at some other hotels.

“Great Price for a 5 Star Experience”

The price is quite unbelievable for this arguably 5-star hotel. Although located in the suburbs, the hotel is on the brand new Line 2 subway (Wanfu Street stop) that is only 15 minutes from Changchun West station for the high-speed train. The city centre is another 15 minutes away in the other dire… more

The price is quite unbelievable for this arguably 5-star hotel. Although located in the suburbs, the hotel is on the brand new Line 2 subway (Wanfu Street stop) that is only 15 minutes from Changchun West station for the high-speed train. The city centre is another 15 minutes away in the other direction, also easily reachable by subway. There isn't much in terms of food or shops in the immediate vicinity for the international tourist, but you can ride the historic tram 54 to the huge Wanda megamall at the end of the line (15 minutes). The room was large with plush carpeting, Western TV channel, good soundproofing, and tub/shower combo. Wear and tear is starting to show, but the staff are polite and try their best to mimick the international chain 5 star's service.

“large rooms at very reasonable prices”

I booked this hotel (through Agoda) because their website had pictures of the rooms and the amenities like fitness room and pool and the price seemed rather low for what it had to offer.

I booked this hotel (through Agoda) because their website had pictures of the rooms and the amenities like fitness room and pool and the price seemed rather low for what it had to offer. I was not disappointed - I've never had such a large room for such a low price! Check in went smooth, my room (2 large beds) huge and to the side away from the busy crossing where the hotel is situated, had desk, smoothly working A/C, very large bathroom with great shower and large tub, toiletries including toothbrushes and combs, soft towels, much closet space with lamp inside, bathrobes, safe, ironing board, laundry service, electric kettle with free tea bags and instant coffee, free water bottles every day, large TV with some international channels (CNN, DW, HBO), good cleaning service. Large indoor pool but one needs a shower cap which can be bought for a hilariously high price at the desk (I got one at Decathlon for 1/10th of the demanded price!), fitness room with different tread mills etc., beauty saloon and massages available but personnel didn't speak English so didn't understand what I wanted, breakfast available (I chose to go without). The hotel has large lobby (but for the size nearly no seating available), many floors ( I think 16), some are for conventions and business meetings/ seminars which is why there are many Chinese business people, also a German bar (never went). What I didn't like (which is why I only rate it 4 stars): wifi only works in the room but NOT in lobby or hall, staff has only limited English speaking abilities and didn't understand some of my questions (I needed the help of my Chinese friend later), room carpet was rather stained and definitely needs a clean-up, check out took real long since there was only one person at the counter who was busy forever with the problem of some other guest, which I found annoying since my taxi was waiting. The area around doesn't offer much to do - some small stores (fresh fruit and veggies, bakery, convenience) and restaurants, a small park with statues, another huge hotel across the street.

Good sized rooms with older styled furniture. Comfortable. But rooms are quite dark with one light fitting not working. Large bathrooms. Hotel is larger than it appears with longish winding corridors to get to your room. Decent buffet for breakfast with good variety. Mainly Chinese food with some western options.
