Staying at IFOREST HOTEL in Nanjing's historic old town district was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, the cleanliness stood out—every corner of my room felt fresh and well-maintained, which is a big plus for me as hygiene is always top priority. The view from the window? Directly overlooking the Qinhuai River—especially magical at night when the lanterns glow softly on the water.

The lobby area even has a small tea lounge where I enjoyed a peaceful cup of tea, and the back garden offers a perfect spot to relax with a direct sightline to the river. Staff were attentive and helpful—any request was handled promptly and with genuine care. It’s rare to find such a blend of comfort, charm, and service quality in a city hotel. If I ever return to Nanjing, this will be my first choice again. Truly exceptional—a standout experience.
