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?

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!
