Nanjing Grand Hotel

Staying at Nanjing Grand Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. Though it's a well-established five-star property, the rooms feel fresh and timeless—elegant without being flashy, perfectly reflecting the city’s refined character. The room itself was spacious, clean, and equipped with everything I needed, from plush bedding to modern amenities. What truly stood out, though, was the service. Every staff member—from check-in to housekeeping to breakfast attendants—was warm, professional, and attentive. The breakfast spread was impressive: diverse, freshly prepared, and delicious. It’s rare to find such consistent quality across all aspects of a stay. If I’m ever back in Nanjing, this will be my first choice again. A truly memorable experience.

Shangri-La Nanjing

Every time I visit Nanjing, I make sure to stay at Shangri-La—it’s simply my go-to. This trip was for a friend’s birthday, and we took the chance to explore the stunning maple leaves at Qixia Mountain, golden ginkgo trees by Xuanwu Lake, Yanyue Lake, Stone Elephant Road, and the famous plane tree avenue. Perfect timing, perfect weather, and perfect vibes! The room arranged by Manager Dong was exceptional—comfortable, elegant, and thoughtfully prepared. Dining at Jiangnan Zao was a highlight: the ingredients were fresh and top-notch. The pickled turnip with preserved vegetables was surprisingly delicious, the fish head incredibly fresh, and the sweet-and-sour ribs? Absolutely unforgettable. My friend devoured the stir-fried beef in no time—proof it was a hit! Bonus: guests staying at the hotel can enjoy complimentary room service from Jiangnan Zao—even if you’re not on the waitlist. Plus, the Christmas decorations were beautifully done, adding a magical touch to the entire stay. Honestly, I’m already planning my next visit—Shangri-La truly wins my heart every time.

InterContinental Nanjing

I’ve been returning to InterContinental Nanjing every year for the past three years, and this visit was especially memorable—my birthday on November 16th. From the moment I checked in at the executive lounge, the warm welcome from the staff made me feel truly special. The team even remembered my reservation for the buffet and had a birthday cake ready, which was such a thoughtful touch. Upon entering my luxurious lakeside room, I was completely surprised by the towel art shaped into a two-tier birthday cake—it was absolutely magical. Then, just as I was soaking in the moment, the doorbell rang again: another delightful surprise from the housekeeping team with a mini birthday cake and a beautifully crafted card. It’s these little details that show how deeply the hotel values guest experience. The bedding remained as soft and comfortable as ever, and the service was prompt and attentive throughout. Dining options were exceptional—every meal felt like a celebration. This short stay turned out to be one of the most unforgettable birthdays I’ve ever had. InterContinental Nanjing isn’t just a hotel; it feels like home. Thank you to everyone who made my day so special.

The Grand Mansion Hotel, Nanjing

I stayed at The Grand Mansion Hotel during the Christmas Eve of 2019 and decided to return for my latest trip to Nanjing—no regrets at all. This time, I upgraded to a garden-view suite, which was absolutely serene and beautifully appointed. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with fresh welcome fruits and the signature afternoon tea, both of which were delightful. Even better, the hotel included complimentary tickets to the nearby Six Dynasties Museum—a thoughtful touch that made exploring the city even more enjoyable. The location is excellent—central, walkable to major attractions, and just a short metro ride from everything. My stay was incredibly comfortable and relaxing. A special thank you to Cloris Li at check-out: her warm, friendly service stood out, and she even gifted us a cute Nanjing-themed maple leaf souvenir. It’s such a sweet little memory from our trip.

Suning Universal Hotel All Suites

Staying at Suning Universal Hotel All Suites was an absolute delight! The two-bedroom layout is perfect for families or groups of friends—spacious living area makes it feel like home, and the roomy design gives everyone plenty of space to relax. Located right across from Wutai Mountain Metro Station, getting around Nanjing is incredibly convenient. I didn’t need to take a taxi or worry about parking—just walk straight into the subway and explore the city with ease. Special shoutout to front desk staff Xiao Shen—so friendly, helpful, and attentive. She even upgraded our room without hesitation, which made the experience even better. A small suggestion: the TV screen could be slightly larger to match the spacious living area. Also, replacing the bathroom and shower door with frosted glass would improve privacy, especially when someone’s using the sink. And if possible, converting the kitchenette into a compact powder room would make things much more practical for four guests sharing the space—especially useful when traveling with kids. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value, comfort, and location. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting Nanjing.
