The hotel is located in the heart of the Confucius Temple area in the center of Nanjing, enjoying a prime location within the Qinhuai Scenic Belt. Oriented north to south, it showcases a style of "blue bricks, small tiles, horse-head walls, and corridor railings with flower-lattice windows", presenting an ancient and elegant atmosphere that is both charming and radiant. The hotel has been awarded the titles of "Famous Trademark of Jiangsu Province" and "Famous Trademark of Nanjing City" by the provincial and municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce on multiple occasions. It is a distinctive foreign tourist hotel that imitates the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Currently, it offers nearly 70 types of guest rooms, most of which are built along the river, arranged in a staggered manner, allowing guests to enjoy the serene river views directly. The guest room design follows a courtyard layout, which is both novel and unique. The hotel's catering services consist of four parts: Qinhuai Family, Wanqing Lou, Taste Family, and Han Yixing Halal Restaurant, providing a total of 600 dining seats. The meticulously prepared "Eight Delicacies of Qinhuai" snacks have become a representative of Nanjing's snacks. When the lights are just turned on and the moon rises over the eastern mountains, dining at Qinhuai Family's restaurant will enable you to experience the ancient charm of "the lights and oars on the Qinhuai River". (The hotel's parking lot is located at the intersection of Xiaoshi Dam Street and Pingjiangfu Road, to the west.)
"Getting good reviews is a KPI for employees set by the boss! Suspect they're boosting ratings!
The location is great, very convenient for visiting the Confucius Temple and surrounding areas.
For the price, the service was actually quite good. The room came with plenty of complimentary snacks, fruit, and drinks, and they even delivered sweet fermented rice balls with jelly at night.
BUT! The hotel asked for a good review as a condition for a room upgrade. After adding them on WeChat, they kept pestering me for the review, even before noon the next day, it was a relentless barrage of messages.
The room itself was a long, winding walk to find, and the facilities were quite old. The sink drainage wasn't very smooth.
Overall, this is a hotel with a good location, but old facilities that they try to compensate for with service, and they're definitely boosting their ratings. If I hadn't promised a good review, I would have seriously given a bad one!!
If you don't mind the room quality and prioritize convenience for sightseeing, you can consider it. But if you have a bigger budget, I'd say skip it."
