The small duck oil sesame sugar bao was deliciously fragrant, the salted duck was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the fresh egg pancake was healthy and scrumptious.

The restaurant, Pipa Residence, serves an amazing breakfast with great variety and delicious flavors, enjoyed while soaking in views of Zhongshan Mountain. Everything about this stay — the atmosphere, the service, the thoughtful touches — was flawless. If I ever come back to Nanjing, this will be my first choice.

Orange Hotel (Nanjing Confucius Temple Cruise Terminal)

Staying at Orange Hotel (Nanjing Confucius Temple Cruise Terminal) was an absolute highlight of my trip. The location is unbeatable—right by the Qinhuai River, quiet and peaceful, yet just a 5-minute walk from the bustling Confucius Temple area. I loved how easy it was to explore the city via subway; the Confucius Temple Metro Station is literally steps away. And once you step outside, the local food scene opens up—street snacks, savory dumplings, and famous salted duck are all within walking distance. The hotel itself is spotless, with clean, modern rooms and a breakfast spread that exceeded expectations—fresh, tasty, and well-balanced. Staff were attentive and friendly, always ready to help with anything I needed. It’s rare to find such comfort, convenience, and warm hospitality in one place. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nanjing—it’s truly a gem.

BLOSSOM MANOIR CONFUCIUS TEMPLE NANJING

My mom had been wanting to visit Nanjing for ages, and since she wanted to explore the city easily, we chose Blossom Manoir Confucius Temple Nanjing for its unbeatable location. Right next to the historic site, everything is just a short walk away—perfect for sightseeing without the hassle of long commutes. The room was compact but thoughtfully designed with a tasteful layout and elegant touches that made it feel cozy and inviting. What truly stood out was the staff’s exceptional service. One lady noticed my mom’s shoelace was untied while we were heading out with luggage and quietly helped tie it back—such a small gesture, but it really touched us. The view from the window offered a charming glimpse of the surrounding ancient streetscape, adding to the authentic atmosphere. The only minor downside? A bit of noise from passersby at night, which occasionally drifted into the room. Adding double-glazed windows could help with soundproofing. Overall, this stay was delightful—great value, warm hospitality, and an ideal base for experiencing old Nanjing’s charm.

JI Hotel (Nanjing Confucius Temple)

Traveled solo and chose JI Hotel because it felt like the right fit for a relaxed, hassle-free stay. I booked near the attractions, but was pleasantly surprised by how close it actually is—Confucius Temple Walking Street is literally across the street. Walking there took less than two minutes, making shopping, dining, and evening strolls super convenient. The night view was especially magical with lanterns glowing along the streets—truly a highlight of my trip. On the second day, a friend joined me, and we upgraded to a twin-bed room with a small price difference. The extra space made our time together even more enjoyable. Both nights were comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the overall value was excellent. I’d definitely book here again when visiting Nanjing.

JI Hotel (Nanjing Jiming Temple)

This stay at JI Hotel (Nanjing Jiming Temple) was absolutely perfect—truly a 10/10 experience! I spent four days and three nights in Nanjing, staying at three different hotels, but this one stood out as the only one that truly met my expectations. The lobby design is calming and natural, with warm wooden furnishings and soft lighting. The reading nook is quiet and inviting, and the air quality feels fresh and clean—almost like being in a peaceful retreat. My room faced south, close to a residential neighborhood, but noise levels were well-managed, so sleep wasn’t disturbed. Service was exceptional from start to finish: the front desk staff were efficient, friendly, and helpful, and the self-check-in process saved me time without any hassle. The housekeeping team went above and beyond—when I couldn’t find my room, they kindly guided me with a smile. And the takeaway delivery service? A game-changer. No need to leave the hotel just to grab a meal. For anyone visiting Nanjing, this is definitely my top pick again. Comfortable, convenient, and thoughtfully designed—this place earns every bit of praise.
