Reviews of Utopia Apartment

very nice apartment with a great view. perfect located to visit all the places of the ice festival.

you need to pay in CASH on your arrival. impossible to find if the host doesn’t give you the exact description and picks you up at the main gate. they did, so it was ok. 😊 check out doesn’t exist, just leaving the key in the room.

Owner and staff is very kind, we missed our flight but she managed to calm us down by letting us know that someone will fetch us down the apartment even at 2am. Super appreciate the staff waiting for us in the snow coldest night. Room is clean and there is daily cleaning as well.

Wish there is more pillows. Haha but the rest is wonderful.

Great location, close to the Ice Festival venue! Very friendly and helpful staff. Everything was clean and cozy.

The staff was very accommodating, the rooms clean, and the location was ideal.

The bed seemed to be only a box spring; no mattress. Also, payment couldn't be made by credit card; only cash in advance, Alipay, or WeChat Pay. As non-Chinese citizens, our only option was cash in advance.

My wife and I traveled to see the wonderful world of snow and ice that takes place annually in Harbin. We decided to go with this place due to the reviews. Other reviewers are giving this property 5 stars, however, please beware that the pictures that are advertised here don’t necessarily match up to what you’ll actually get. I understand there are likely many apartments this company rents out so it’s entirely possible that I ended up with a dud. Nevertheless I will share my experience with the unit I received. Cons: The kitchen does not come stocked with pots or pans so if you are looking to cook during your stay, please bring your own pots, pans, spatulas, etc. The shower area and toilet share the same floor so if you’re traveling from the U.S. or Europe, you may not find this appealing (many Asian countries have this sort of bathroom layout). There is no central heat and due to our unit being on the 11th floor and also our room having a balcony, it was very chilly at night. Our unit’s climate control was not in our hands. Slow internet. Luckily we did not spend much time in our unit, but for those who want to work/do school stuff may have difficulty. Cockroaches. We found one squashed dead and two crawling (one in the kitchen and one in the main area). Pros: High floor, nice views of neighboring skyscrapers They left sweet mini tangerines and little candies (nice touch).

This was a great flat with easy access by walking or subway to central Harbin. It was easy to get to all the Ice & Snow Festival venues by subway. In a nice locality. The owner was extremely helpful in making sure we found the apartment easily and the staff at the premises were also lovely and helpful. We could also see the calendar new year fireworks from the window.

Nice apartment with a great view of Harbin snow and ice in the far distance. Room was clean and nicely furnished. Heated floors were amazing, washing machine was a bonus. Clothes dried quickly because of the heated floor. A few convenient stores just around the corner and a shopping centre (for some quick good) about a 5-10 minute walk. Can't really comment on location. Areas in Chinese cities are generally far apart (big cities not really walking cities). It wasn't close to an actual tourist attraction. Location was convenient for Uber/DiDi to pick up to get to places.

Sometimes the heated flooring made the room feel too warm. However, being able to open the window basically fixed that. The bathroom was a wet room (no separate shower). It wasn't a major problem because the heated floors made the room dry quickly however I would always prefer a separate shower.

The apartment was warm and cozy. It's an old apartment, so don't expect too much. Everything was really basic, and there wasn't much for proper living. The bed was a bit hard, but that is personal. We had a comfortable stay, and it was a good base to explore and close to the Ice and Snow Festival.

The location is really good.

The quick response of the host other then the lovely place

There was no microwave,although upon asking I was immediately given one but my advice it should be there as it’s much more convenient then gas stove

Very friendly host that promptly answer our requests. The host went out to the gate and helped us with the luggages The heater was excellent to keep us warm at -26 degree at night

The apartment is very basic and rather small. There are basically nothing but 2 beds

Very comfy and clean place to stay with magic view! Staff is really helpful, I really recommend this place for staying)

Large, spacious, very clean, nice view More facilities,such as fridge, stove, washing machine

*Wait for quite long for the lift (highrise building) * The second person needs to wait for a while for the hot water after the 1st person finishes their shower

Great location and view, room was super cute and clean. Friendly staff.

Szuper nice host, excellent communication. Trustworthy, reliable partner, highly recommended! A+++++++++++++++++++++
