898 Business Hotel

898 Business Hotel is a budget local guesthouse at 766 Beijing Street in Kuancheng District, Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province in northeast China. By its coordinates it lies roughly one and a half kilometres south of Changchun Railway Station, close to the northern end of the Beijing Avenue corridor, in a commercial area of shops, small offices and everyday restaurants. The location suits rail travellers and budget visitors who want a low-cost base within a short taxi or ride-hailing ride of the Former Imperial Palace of Manchukuo, the Changchun Film Studio museum and the city's central shopping streets. The property is a modest local hotel rather than a chain, so visitors should expect a small lobby, simple furnishings and some of the lowest prices in the city. Room types listed are Standard Room, Double Room and Twin Room, and typical off-peak rates are about ¥85-180 (roughly $13-27) per night, rising on public holidays and winter weekends. Listed amenities are wifi, a restaurant and air conditioning. The restaurant probably serves breakfast and simple Chinese dishes, and the surrounding streets provide inexpensive dumplings, noodles, barbecue and Northeastern stews. No pool, spa or fitness centre is listed. Service is basic and aimed at domestic travellers, with limited English, so a translation app or the Chinese address is helpful. The listed telephone is +86 431 8611 8666, which can be used to confirm bookings and registration of foreign guests, a legal requirement in China that some small properties cannot meet. Winters in Changchun are long and cold, with January temperatures commonly well below -10 °C, so check that heating is working on arrival. The hotel is best suited to short stays and travellers prioritising price and a central position over comfort and amenities.
