Floral Hotel·Xitang hotel (Nanjing Confucius Temple Laomendong Branch)
Staying at Floral Hotel·Xitang in Nanjing's Confucius Temple and Laomendong area was a fantastic experience, mainly thanks to the unbeatable location. From the airport, I took the subway S1 to Nanjing South Station, transferred to Line 3, and got off at Confucius Temple Station Exit 2—just a short walk from the hotel. The entire journey took about an hour and cost only ¥8, making it super affordable and convenient. Right downstairs is the famous and budget-friendly Nanjing Street Food Stall, and across the street is a popular photo spot perfect for Instagram-worthy shots. The Qinhuai River boat dock is literally a 5-minute walk away, and other attractions are easily accessible via metro. The only minor downside? Staff didn’t seem very talkative—no greeting when checking in or out, which felt a bit cold compared to what you’d expect from higher-end hotels. But honestly, it’s probably just a generational thing; young people these days tend to be quieter. Still, a simple 'hello' or smile would go a long way. Overall, I stayed four nights and loved the cozy vibe, clean rooms, and prime location. Highly recommend this place for travelers who value convenience and charm.

The room was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully arranged, making it a truly relaxing stay.

HanTing Hotel (Nanjing Xinjiekou Changfu Street Subway Station)
I had to book this hotel last minute due to a sudden change in plans, arriving late at 11:30 PM. The front desk staff was incredibly helpful—she even printed my documents for me. When the hotel’s printer ran out of ink, she didn’t just leave it at that; she checked when the nearby print shop opened the next day and called me personally to share the info. That level of care is rare! The hotel is just a short 10-minute walk from the subway station, making it super convenient for exploring Nanjing’s city center.

Atour Hotel Nanjing Presidential Palace
We stayed in Nanjing for five nights, and after two less-than-satisfying days elsewhere, we switched to this hotel for the last three—and it was a perfect upgrade. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, the room was spotlessly clean, and all amenities were modern and well-maintained. One small but thoughtful touch: there’s a display on the TV showing how many washing machines are available at any time, so you don’t waste time walking down only to find them all in use. That little detail made laundry day stress-free. The location is fantastic—right next to Liu Chang Xing for great local food, and just a short walk from key attractions like the Presidential Palace, Six Dynasties Museum, Piliu Temple, and the Comfort Station Exhibition Hall. We didn’t get a chance to visit the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre this time, but I’m already planning a return trip—definitely coming back here. Oh, and while booking through the platform, it mentioned complimentary late-night porridge. We didn’t ask for it, so we missed out—but if you’re staying here, don’t forget to request it! It’s a nice surprise worth taking advantage of.
Guoxin Hotel
Staying at Guoxin Hotel in Nanjing was an absolute delight. Located just steps away from deji Plaza, with the metro station conveniently underground right next to it, getting around to major attractions like Daxinggong, Confucius Temple, and the Presidential Palace was incredibly easy. The hotel has been recently renovated—everything feels fresh, clean, and comfortable. The room featured a smart toilet and a heated towel rail, which added a nice touch of modern convenience. I booked through a platform, and upon arrival, the front desk staff had already turned on the heating because of the sudden cold snap. They even noticed we came from the south and deliberately gave us a south-facing room with morning sunlight—such thoughtful attention to detail. There was a welcome drink in the mini-fridge, and since we were visiting Nanjing for tourism, they provided a helpful guide with tips on reaching key sights. Late at night, when our bottled water ran out, I called the front desk and within minutes, a robot delivered a new one right to our door—super efficient! Even more touching: when the staff spotted my birthday date on my ID, they surprised me with a small gift. From the front desk to housekeeping, everyone was warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. Across the street, there are plenty of dining options—our breakfast was at Lao Hun Dun, where we enjoyed authentic Nanjing wontons and crispy little pancakes that were delicious. This stay exceeded expectations. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family visiting Nanjing—it’s not just convenient, it’s full of heart and excellent service.

The bathroom features a smart dry-wet separation, no unpleasant odors, and excellent water pressure with consistent hot water supply. Front desk staff were friendly, efficient, and even took time to recommend local attractions—great for first-time visitors. Free Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, perfect for work or streaming.
