Yalu River Hotel

This hotel is perfect for those who, like us, were arriving & leaving by train, and wanted to be close to the river & the broken bridge, as it's around halfway between the two. The room itself was a little dated, but staff were friendly & the price was very reasonable for a last minute booking during the holidays.

The hotel is very close to the railway station, 10 min walk to the promenade, Broken Bridge and Piers, there’s a small park next to the hotel with dancing fountains and illuminated street at night ( looks wow!), easy to reach restaurants, stores and shops, where you can buy goods produced in DPRK. Before talking to the receptionist , better get ready your phone translator if you’re not fluent in Chinese, they didn’t seem very friendly and hospitable, the house keeping lady was more hello-hi and smiling, helped me to find the dashboard in my room to switch the lights:). By the way , the toilet surprised me with warm mode and some more functions you’ll check by yourself ( especially ladies:)). Breakfast….even for Chinese locals and hotel rating it looked poor and not delicious.Perhaps, it’s only my opinion, but I was disappointed and left the hotel restaurant half hungry.The hotel room is quite cozy and spacious, the mattress is not soft , but comfy for sleeping.Recommend it for short stay, 2-3 days, but for budget travelers, it’s not the option. Happy journey!

Alright location but not as close to the river as the name suggests. There's no river view. Taxis had difficulty coming into the hotel lobby. The hotel is a bit old but maintained okay. The fader on the reading light didn't work. They gave us only two pillows for a Queen bed. On the plus side they have put in those great japanese style toilets with heated seats. Nice touch.

Very nice hotel in a very good location. The train station is very close on foot. The rooms are a little bit outdated but very clean.

Located right next to a very pretty ginkgo tree park. The hotel stay was good and our room was clean. Staff were able to answer our questions and everyone was friendly. The parking lot is big and secure.

Excellent service and friendly staff!!
