5-Starhotels in Antu County

"Location is close to the forest nature park incl. waterfalls 20 min. (need additional ticket) and is directly at the hot springs bathing area 100m. The entrance ticket was included for the hotel guests. The ticket for waterfalls and vulcano lake could be purchased at the hotel. In general very nice in winter time."

"Hotel is quite old. Hotel wifi can’t use for IG and facebook, only for china app like wechat & xiaohongshu"

"Changbai Mountain Landscape International Eco-Exchange Center — where “eco-exchange” really means exchanging knee joints for enlightenment 🐕🦺❄️ This old dog picked this place as a first-timer to Changbaishan because on paper it reads like a dream: ✔️ 5-minute walk to the Changbai Mountain VIP entrance ✔️ Hot springs inside the compound ✔️ “Eco-exchange” — which I later learned refers to exchanging comfort for character development Location? Prime marrow bone. 🦴 Reality, however, is a scenic winter obstacle course. The hotel is thoughtfully scattered across three separate buildings — one for check-in and breakfast, another for hot springs, and because suspense is important in life, the Food Plaza lives in yet another building. In winter. On ice. With wind that slaps. Not exactly age-old-dog friendly. I waddled. I shuffled. I negotiated with my knees. At one point I believe my soul lagged behind and had to catch up. To offset this Arctic triathlon, the staff are available 24/7 on WeChat, responding faster than I can type “why did I choose this hotel?” Efficiency deserves a respectful tail wag. 🐾 Now let’s talk Food Plaza, the hotel’s redemption arc. The food is genuinely scrumptious, warming, and emotionally supportive after being bullied by Changbai winds. Takeaway is allowed — which means you carry it yourself. Eco-exchange again. This dog fetches his own dinner. 🥸 Then there’s the hot spring schedule. Opens at 13:30. When the mountain is closed and the hot spring is closed what exactly is an old dog meant to do? Stare into the snow? Question life decisions? Age visibly? Ah yes — write this review. ✔️ ⚠️ Now, the bone that refuses to go down smoothly. Despite having a relaxed stay, I felt continuously pressed for a 5-star review — on departure day from the first meeting in the lobby to gentle reminders all the way up the bus. At that point, it stopped feeling like hospitality and started feeling like an exam I didn’t sign up for. It made me sad, actually — because it suggests staff performance may be chained to guest reviews like sled dogs pulling corporate KPIs. Trip.com, if you’re listening: no guest should ever be pressured to review. The moment reviews are pushed, ratings stop being honest and start being decorative. This old dog is an independent reviewer. I don’t bark on command. I don’t roll over for stars. And the harder the push, the more my paw hovers over the lowest rating out of pure principle. Still — despite the ice, the walking, the soul-searching — the location alone makes this a smart base for Changbaishan first-timers. Just come prepared with: • good boots • strong knees • emotional resilience • and the confidence to say, “I will rate when I’m ready.” ⸻ #Dogevangelistauthor #patiencechee #BoneofLoyalty #BoneofBranding #DontBuyAdoptADog #AdoptDontShop #ResponsiblePetOwnership #ChangbaiMountain #Changbaishan #Tianchi #HeavenLake #ChangbaiMountainHotel #HotSpringHotel #WinterTravelChina #EcoExchangeCenter #VIPEntrance #OldDogTravels #SlowTravel #HotSpringLife #MountainRetreat #FirstTimeChangbaishan"

"Our family of 4 had a wonderful 2 nights stay in mid December. The great service started even prior to our stay as we had 2 personal concierge 小张 & 莹莹 assigned to us. We had requested for connecting rooms via Trip and 小张 & 莹莹 contacted us directly via WeChat. They not only helped us get connecting rooms, they also gave advice and helped to arrange for our luggages to be sent to the hotel while a private driver (additional cost) picked us from the train station to start our tour of Changbaishan immediately so that we do not have to waste time traveling. All the staff at the hotel were wonderful as well. Our room package included 3hr ski tickets and access to the natural hot spring. It was our family’s first time trying to ski and we asked our personal concierge to arrange for private coach (additional cost). Immediately upon arriving at the ski lodge the coach was waiting and led us through the entire chaotic process of collecting and wearing the gears. The hotel has direct unlimited access to the hot spring and it was also a great experience not to be missed (Don’t forget to pack your swim wear!) It even has a fish pool where we dip our whole body. There’s also a Cute Pet Paradise with different animals you can feed. Overall there’s plenty of activities for everyone and we will definitely highly recommend the hotel to everyone coming to Changbaishan."

After book. they immediately add me Wechat and communicate. which is easy for foreigner like me to communicate. Everything process is super fast. all great! love it"

"Hotel provided a fantastic experience. The hotel's strengths are its cleanliness, great breakfast, and excellent amenities. Our room was spotless and well-maintained. The breakfast offered a delicious and impressive variety of hot and cold options to start the day. After being in the cold weather all day, the best part was relaxing in the clean, quiet, and spacious hot springs. Highly recommend!"

"Great experience! Hot springs facilities, food, hotel rooms are all excellent. The hotel specialist offered us helpful guidance and information to explore the local area and activities. Definitely recommend it!"

"The decor is full of intricate details, showing the owner's thoughtfulness. It feels very much like a hot spring hotel in Kyoto. The displays are also well-curated, the toiletries are very comfortable, and the staff are clearly well-trained. It offers an experience far beyond a typical guesthouse. There were a few minor issues during my stay, which were handled promptly with good communication. A small suggestion: For a private onsen experience, offering breakfast as a set meal delivered to the room would be a great option. Alternatively, collaborating with other restaurants under the same brand (even though they're close) might be better, as there were many children there. On another note, the breakfast coffee is excellent! Even though it's from an automatic machine, the settings and coffee beans are superb. I had two cups!"

"Our overall stay was absolutely perfect! The room was spotless when we checked in, with great natural light and a bed that was just the right balance of soft and firm. The front desk staff were very attentive and responsive to our needs. All the toiletries were provided, and the common areas were clean and odor-free. The hotel is conveniently located for dining and shopping, offering much better value for money than other hotels in the same price range. This is definitely our top choice for accommodation when traveling, highly recommended!"

"An old hotel past its grandeur days. A little expensive for an old facility. Room is big though. Staff don’t work in unity. Front desk and concierge don’t work as a unit. Didn’t see the concierge after the initial check in. Front desk do not know when concierge will come in. Frustrating for guests who need the help of concierge. Being friendly to guests is not one of the work ethos of all the front desk staffs. Hot baths was good though."
