Orange Hotel Nanjing Xinjiekou Jinling Zhonghuan Renovation
Staying at Orange Hotel Nanjing Xinjiekou Jinling Zhonghuan was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere stood out—thoughtful design, soft lighting, and a cozy vibe made me feel right at home. The room was stylishly modern with a clean, minimalist aesthetic that felt both relaxing and refreshing. The bed was incredibly comfortable—perfectly balanced for a deep, restful sleep, even after a long day exploring the city. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just a short walk to Xinjiekou metro station and surrounded by shopping malls, restaurants, and local hotspots. I had breakfast on-site—fresh, varied, and included some authentic local treats that were a real highlight. Staff were attentive without being intrusive, always ready to help with recommendations or extra towels. It’s rare to find such a well-rounded experience where everything—from comfort to convenience—comes together seamlessly. This isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a memorable part of the journey. Definitely coming back next time I visit Nanjing.
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.

Staying at Vienna Hotel (Nanjing Longjiang Subway Station Branch) was a really positive experience overall. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making check-in smooth and welcoming. The bedding was clean and well-maintained, and the bathroom features a smart dry-wet separation design—very practical and hygienic. I also appreciated having access to an on-site laundry room, which came in handy during my longer stay. Breakfast was a highlight—wide variety of options, fresh ingredients, and good quality across the board. That said, the property does show its age in some areas: the wallpaper has minor cracks, and certain facilities feel outdated. Parking is another challenge—there’s very limited space, mostly along the side of the bank next to the hotel entrance, which makes finding a spot tricky. Still, despite these small drawbacks, the location is excellent for travelers relying on the subway, and the value for money is strong.

Jiangsu Phoenix Palace Hotel
I've stayed here several times years ago on business trips, and this time I brought my family for a getaway—so glad I chose the same hotel again. It's been freshly renovated with upgraded interiors and service, yet it still maintains that elegant, bookish charm I love. The location is fantastic: close to everything but surprisingly quiet, offering a peaceful retreat right in the heart of Nanjing. Public transportation is just minutes away, making it super convenient. The value for money is outstanding—especially for families. The only minor issue was a slightly loose power outlet in the room, which could be improved. But honestly, these small details don't take away from an excellent experience. This place truly shines in every way. Highly recommend!
