This hotel was a hidden gem for my short trip – such a pleasant surprise! It's incredibly conveniently located near tourist attractions. The hotel itself is elegant, quiet, and peaceful. The rooms are cozy, comfortable, and impeccably clean. The bed was very comfortable, and the toiletries and storage facilities were all complete. The staff, Mango, Orange, and Apple, were warm, friendly, and efficient in processing my check-in. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I've already recommended it to my friends!

My trip to Nanjing this time was mainly for Na Ying's concert. Besides the Nanjing Museum, I skipped all the other popular attractions, dedicating my time instead to areas with a strong local vibe, like the Ming Palace Ruins Park and Xiaoxihu. For accommodation, I chose The Lalu, which is a bit out of the city center. This actually put me closer to the concert venue, but more importantly, I wanted to set aside some time for a hotel staycation. The Lalu certainly didn't disappoint. The unbeatable river view goes without saying, and strolling through the gardens was an excellent experience; taking my time, I even stumbled upon a weekend celadon ocarina performance. The Water Sha Lian Chinese restaurant was also unexpectedly good; almost every dish was impressive. By the end, I was even seriously contemplating which dishes would be suitable to pack and take back to Beijing. On the second morning at The Lalu, there was a small hiccup, but the customer service manager quickly stepped in with a solution, and the communication was very sincere. So, it didn't affect the overall experience at all. I really have to commend them for that; it actually made me trust their service capabilities even more, and I'm now planning to visit The Lalu in Qingdao for another experience.

The front desk staff were incredibly kind and attentive. The room was spotless and meticulously cleaned – I'm really impressed! Highly recommend.

The room still maintains a certain Marriott standard. The hotel's location offers average amenities, not as good as the Marriott a bit further away, but the price is reasonable. The breakfast selection is a bit small but still sufficient for most people.

Great hostel for travellers to Nanjing! Very conveniently located near a metro stop, the Qinhuai scenic area and Laomendong both of which are lovely to wander around in at night. The hostel is extremely clean with comfortable beds and nice hang out areas. Staff are friendly and helpful and will store your luggage for you free of charge. There is a laundry machine which can be used for free, detergent is 1kuai for a small sachet. The location can be a little hard to find - it's up an elevator on the 5th floor that you can only access from Lianziying Street - look for the signs for ”Driftwood” which is the bar attached to the hostel.

Five-Day Stay in Nanjing Check-in Experience We arrived early at around 6 AM due to the difficulty of booking train tickets during the holiday season. Although check-in was at 3 PM, the staff kindly accommodated us with an early check-in for an additional fee. Accommodation We stayed in two types of rooms during our visit: Single Room - Spacious and located in a peaceful, quiet area of the property. RV Room - Situated near the camping area where families and friends gather around a large bonfire for singing, BBQ, and games. **Ratings** Staff: 8/10 - Friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Shuttle Service: 10/10 - The driver was exceptionally pleasant and always smiling. Since my daughter has asthma and walking long distances is difficult for her, we frequently requested shuttle service between locations. This was especially helpful as ride-share drivers typically drop off at the entrance, which is quite a walk from the rooms and facilities. Breakfast: 10/10 - Excellent variety of traditional Chinese dishes. They were accommodating when my husband requested takeout. Cleanliness: 10/10 - Both rooms were clean, including the beds, towels, and bathrooms. As my daughter’s asthma is triggered by dust, I was pleased that the rooms were clean enough that she didn’t experience any sneezing or symptoms. We all slept well for the entire five days. **Things to Consider** It’s highly recommended to have your own car, as the property is quite far from the city center. If you enjoy nature and outdoor activities, this place is ideal. Activities include: - ATV rides - Fishing area - Playground (note: adults are charged rather than children, so it’s more economical for only one adult to enter) - Small animal area featuring rabbits, ostriches, and llamas (15 RMB entry) - Train ride (30 RMB) The coffee shop has a wonderful atmosphere and aesthetic appeal, making it popular for photos. The property itself is spacious and perfect for leisurely walks. There’s also a temple nearby, approximately 20 minutes away by car. **Challenges We Faced** My daughter developed a fever and experienced diarrhea during our stay. When I called the front desk for help, the staff member wasn’t very accommodating and suggested my husband go buy medicine. This was difficult for us as foreigners who don’t speak the language well. I felt sad and helpless, especially when we couldn’t get any taxis or cabs to pick us up. We wanted to take her to the hospital, but no cabs were available. However, the next morning, a staff member spoke with me who was extremely kind and accommodating. They even offered to drive my daughter to the hospital, which I declined because we needed to catch our train and she was feeling better after taking medicine. They drove us to the South Railway Station and thoughtfully gave my daughter bags and drinks. It was a very kind gesture that we truly appreciated.

The room was excellent, the projector was convenient and clear, and everything was clean and hygienic. The front desk staff was incredibly kind, gentle, and even gave us a little gift. It was a really great experience! Plus, the surrounding area is super convenient for getting around, with plenty of places to shop and eat. The location is truly fantastic!

I was very satisfied with my stay. First off, the location is a huge plus – it's right inside the Confucius Temple area, making it super convenient to get around. The room was clean and tidy, and I slept really well. Every staff member I encountered greeted me warmly, and they were always quick to answer any questions I had. Overall, it was a great experience. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Nanjing.

I had a fantastic stay at Sawmill Youth Hostel. The place was always clean, and the common areas never had any unpleasant smells. The bathrooms were spotless and dry, with no standing water. My bed was tidy, and all the bedding was brand new. The front desk staff were very friendly and patiently answered all my questions. They were quick to help with any issues. The lobby had a relaxed atmosphere, and I enjoyed participating in the games organized by the hostel in my free time. The location was convenient for getting around, and there were plenty of dining options nearby. The value for money was excellent, and the cleanliness and service far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hostel for short trips and will definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Nanjing.
