Grand WUJI Hotel, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

Staying at this urban oasis was an absolute delight from the moment I arrived. The Japanese-inspired design is both calming and sophisticated, creating a serene retreat right in the heart of Nanjing. The staff were incredibly welcoming—especially the front desk supervisor who went above and beyond to explain the hotel’s unique features and atmosphere, helping me truly appreciate what makes this place special. I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a Signature Suite, which offered generous space and a private lounge where I enjoyed a delightful afternoon tea. The floor-to-ceiling windows opened up to a lush central lawn, and on that particular day, a couple was filming their wedding photos there—adding a magical touch to the already picturesque view. Breakfast was a highlight: spacious dining area with a wide variety of fresh options. The freshly cooked congee stood out—served with care by a passionate chef who took time to explain each ingredient. Don’t miss it! While the amenities are top-notch, what truly sets this hotel apart is the genuine warmth and professionalism of the team. It’s not just a stay—it’s an experience you’ll want to repeat.

International Youth Convention Hotel (Nanjing International Youth Cultural Centre)

Staying at the International Youth Convention Hotel (Nanjing International Youth Cultural Centre) was an excellent experience overall. The room was spacious, especially the bathroom—roomy, clean, and very comfortable to use. The countertop area was generous, making it easy to organize belongings without feeling cramped. The service stood out too—the concierge, Xiao Wu, was attentive and helpful whenever needed, and the housekeeping staff were warm and welcoming, always going the extra mile. Any issues were resolved promptly, which made the stay stress-free. The only minor downside was the parking garage signage; the exit wasn’t clearly marked, making it a bit tricky to find. A small improvement there would make the experience even better. All in all, this hotel offers great value, a comfortable atmosphere, and a friendly vibe—definitely a place I’d return to on future trips.

New Jingli Hotel

This hotel has such a unique vintage charm with a real artistic vibe—feels like stepping into a classic film. The breakfast was surprisingly diverse, and the old duck noodle soup was absolutely delicious, rich in flavor and totally worth trying. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious, and the bed is incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night's sleep. The staff at the lobby were friendly and welcoming, and overall management seems well-organized. The only thing that could be improved is cleanliness—found a stray false eyelash on the sink, which was a bit of a surprise. Still, it’s a minor issue. With its great location, excellent comfort, and strong value for money, I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for something different and cozy in Nanjing.

Nanjing Olympic Sports Expo Center UEASY Hotel

This was hands down the best hotel experience of my entire trip to Nanjing! From the moment I checked in, the front desk staff offered a room upgrade—according to them, five levels up, straight to the top-tier room. And honestly, it totally lived up to the hype 🤣. The moment I stepped into the room, I knew this was special. Every little detail screamed thoughtfulness and comfort. ✨ There’s a dedicated vanity area with a full-length mirror—something every woman will appreciate when getting ready. No more rushing to the bathroom for a quick touch-up! ✨ The bathroom is spacious enough for someone 1.8m tall to stretch out in the bathtub. Even better—they provided disposable bath bags so you can enjoy a relaxing soak without worrying about hygiene. ✨ The heated towel rail is a game-changer. I tossed in a few small clothes after a shower, and by morning, they were completely dry. The robe was luxuriously soft too. ✨ The room itself is generously sized, and the fridge isn’t just for show—there are drinks inside that I actually drank (and enjoyed!). The sofa is incredibly comfy; I spent a whole morning lounging there soaking in the sunlight. ✨ They even included two pairs of earplugs—perfect for blocking out noise and ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep. That kind of care really stands out. Only minor note: the tissue box count was a bit low—only one near the balcony-side bed. When washing up or applying makeup, I had to walk across the room to grab one. It’d be great if another tissue holder could be placed on the other side of the room for convenience. Location-wise, it’s fantastic—super close to major attractions, and if you’re driving, free parking with plenty of space. Overall, an exceptional stay with incredible value. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Nanjing!

HOTEL CELESTIS GREAT(Nanjing South Railway Station)

I've stayed at this hotel twice during my visits to Nanjing, and each time it was an absolute highlight. The first time was because of its unbeatable location—right next to Nanjing South Railway Station, making everything so convenient. I even called ahead before booking; at the time, I was rushing to catch Ziyu's music festival and couldn’t manage the logistics. The front desk staff kindly picked up my luggage from the station exit and brought it straight to the hotel—so I could head straight to the event without any hassle. That was a game-changer. Then, just yesterday, after attending Ziyu’s first concert, I was swamped with fan activities and nearly missed my high-speed train. In a panic, I rushed back, but thanks to the front desk team—especially the gentleman named Liu—they once again delivered my luggage to the station entrance and waited in the cold for 15 minutes. I made it just in time. If I’d missed that train, I’d have had to wait six hours for the next one. That kind of care is rare. The staff are incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely helpful. The cleanliness, comfort, and overall service quality at this price point? Absolutely stunning. It feels like getting way more than you pay for. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a lifeline when you’re on the go. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Nanjing, especially if you’re traveling around for concerts or tight schedules.

Wanda Moments Nanjing South Railway Station

Staying at Wanda Moments Nanjing South Railway Station was an absolute delight. Located just a short walk across the south plaza, the hotel is easily accessible despite its entrance being tucked away on a quiet internal road—though the small courtyard out front gives it a charming, private feel. The lobby is sleek and stylish, with a café-like vibe and an open-concept counter that surprised me in the best way. The staff were young, welcoming, and incredibly helpful—special shoutout to Xiao Ying for upgrading my room and generously extending my check-out time due to my train schedule. The room itself was spacious, with soft, skin-friendly bedding that made for a restful night’s sleep. Everything about this stay felt thoughtfully designed and genuinely comfortable. If you're visiting Nanjing, this is a top-tier choice with excellent value.

Hampton by Hilton Nanjing Olympic Sports Expo Center

This stay was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, the warm welcome made us feel right at home. Check-in was lightning fast—no waiting at all. The room was spotless, every corner sparkling clean. The bed struck the perfect balance in firmness, and the pillows were so comfy I didn’t want to get up. Hot water was plentiful and stayed consistently warm—perfect for a relaxing shower. I loved the subtle, pleasant scent of the toiletries, and the free bottled water and mini snacks were a nice touch. Dining options and convenience stores are just steps away, making it super easy to grab a bite or pick up essentials. Staff were friendly and attentive throughout our stay, always smiling and ready to help. Everything about this experience felt seamless and thoughtfully done. A truly memorable stay—highly recommend!

Hilton Garden Inn Nanjing Hexi Olympic Sports Center

Staying at Hilton Garden Inn Nanjing Hexi Olympic Sports Center was an absolute delight. The location is excellent—conveniently close to the metro and surrounded by great local spots. The overall facilities are top-notch, though I did notice the dryer didn’t always fully dry clothes; a timed drying cycle might help improve that. Cleanliness was impressive—every corner felt fresh and well-maintained, and the garden area is a nice touch, spacious and beautifully landscaped with clear signage. The staff truly made the experience special. Front desk team members Xiao Chen and Xiao Xu were incredibly attentive and proactive—they genuinely seemed to anticipate guest needs. Housekeeping staff were friendly and efficient too. And let me rave about the restaurant right outside the entrance—Feng Jiao Jiao Xuzhou Cuisine. Their wok-fried dishes are cooked to perfection with real heat, and honestly, I couldn’t stop eating. Even my plain tap water tasted better after that meal! This hotel delivers comfort, quality, and great value. I’ll definitely be back.

Campanile Hotel (Nanjing South Railway Station)

This year has been my most frequent stay at Campanile Hotel so far. I had a great experience during my one-night stopover in Hangzhou on the 5th—clean rooms, fully equipped facilities, and top-notch hygiene standards. The front desk even upgraded me to a deluxe king room without any extra charge, which was a lovely surprise. On the 6th, I arrived in Nanjing and was thrilled to see another Campanile Hotel nearby—I didn’t hesitate to book in. Located just a 2-minute walk from Nanjing South Railway Station, it’s incredibly convenient for travelers like me who rely on trains. The breakfast spread was generous and delicious, and the staff were warm and welcoming throughout. What really stood out was the complimentary room upgrade—it made the whole stay feel extra special. For the comfort, location, and value, this hotel is definitely a top pick. I’ll be back again!

Light House Hotel (Nanjing Olympic Sports New City Science Park)

I stayed at Light House Hotel during my recent trip to Nanjing, and overall, the room was quite clean. Located near the Olympic Sports Center and Science Park, it’s super convenient for both business travelers and tourists—just a short walk or metro ride away from major attractions. I noticed the building is part of a larger complex (Lungu Times City), and while the hotel itself has good potential, some rooms had minor issues: flickering lights, noisy air conditioning units, and even a faint unpleasant odor in one unit. It’s rare to find a spot with zero flaws, but considering the excellent location, reasonable pricing, and friendly staff, this place still stands out. If you're visiting Nanjing and need a reliable base with easy access to key areas, I’d definitely recommend giving this hotel a try.

Xi Zhu Meiyue· Cinema Apartment

Staying at Xi Zhu Meiyue Cinema Apartment was an excellent experience! The location is fantastic—just a short walk from Nanjing South Railway Station, making travel super convenient. The room was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the bedding was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep. The air conditioning warmed up quickly, which was perfect during the cooler weather. Upon arrival, the front desk upgraded us to a larger room with a better view—such a nice surprise! The smartphone keyless entry system was a game-changer; no need to carry a physical key, just unlock the door right from your phone. Even though the platform’s navigation led us on a slightly roundabout route, once we arrived, everything made up for it. Clean, modern, and very welcoming—the overall value is outstanding. I’d definitely recommend this place and will be back.
