Jiangsu Hotel🏨: A Republic of China-era Style Gem in Nanjing.

📍Located on Taiping South Road in Qinhuai District, the hotel boasts a prime downtown location with convenient transportation. It's approximately 200 meters from Changfujie Station. The surrounding area offers excellent amenities, and popular Nanjing attractions like Xinjiekou, Confucius Temple, and the Presidential Palace are all within 3 kilometers.

🖼The hotel's architecture beautifully blends history with modernity, capturing the essence of new Republic of China-era buildings. It integrates a business hotel, office spaces, street-front commercial units, and an underground parking lot.

🛌With over a hundred distinctive guest rooms, you can find the perfect room type whether you're traveling for business or leisure. Each room is fully equipped with amenities such as independent internet access, satellite/cable TV, and central air conditioning.

The room was incredibly spacious, and the service was exceptionally warm and welcoming. The self-service laundry facilities were also very convenient. Plus, it's really close to Changfujie subway station, making it super easy to get to all the attractions. Highly recommended!

I brought my parents to Nanjing for a trip and we stayed in a twin room at this hotel, and our experience was extremely satisfying.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, situated at the intersection of Taiping South Road and Taiping Alley, with the lobby conveniently located within the parking lot. Transportation is incredibly convenient, as it's very close to a subway station and surrounded by numerous bus stops. We could easily walk to the Presidential Palace and Confucius Temple, and the historic restaurant "Lvliuju" is just across the street.

While the interior design of the room isn't the most contemporary style, its spaciousness and high ceilings are a major plus, making the stay feel incredibly comfortable and never cramped. The towel warmer in the bathroom was very practical, and both the overall cleanliness and service were impeccable.

I booked this hotel for the Nanjing Marathon, so I'd like to share my experience to help future guests.

Disclaimer: If every hotel gets a 5-star rating, then the reviews aren't very useful.

**Pros:**
1. I booked a Business King Room. The room was spacious and bright, with windows on two sides, offering excellent natural light and ventilation. The room was really big; the official website states 36 sqm, but it felt larger. It had a separate washroom (about 20-something sqm) and a separate walk-in closet (about 5 sqm), plus the main room area was quite large.
2. All the necessary amenities were available. It lacked some smart features, but I didn't mind; I actually prefer it this way – simple and practical.
3. Quiet. The soundproofing wasn't great; I could hear outside noises. However, because my room was on a high floor, in a corner, away from the elevator and other rooms, and away from the main road, it was very quiet. I used to dislike corner rooms, but now I think they're great for peace and quiet.
4. Convenient transportation and dining. It's 200 meters from Changfujie Station on Line 3. It's a 20-minute subway ride to Nanjing South Railway Station. There are many restaurants and snack options nearby, which is very convenient.
5. A leader at the front desk, dressed in dark clothes, was very helpful. I was hesitant about the room, and she had someone show me the room before I made a decision.

**Areas for Improvement:**
1. While checking in, I was a bit indecisive about the room. The leader had a front desk staff member show me the room before I made a decision. I felt that this particular staff member seemed a bit unhappy and had a less-than-ideal attitude. I hope this can be improved.

Overall, the hotel is still quite good. If you choose a high floor, away from the elevator, and not facing the main road, you can get a wonderful night's sleep. This is my second stay here, and I give it a thumbs up.

Conveniently located with a subway station right across from the hotel. You can easily bike to Fuzimiao (Confucius Temple) from here. The environment is quite clean, and there's a small park nearby. If your room faces the park, you can enjoy the city sunrise from there in the morning.

This is an older hotel with a great location, very close to Metro Line 3, making it convenient to get anywhere. The lobby is grand and the hotel has a long history. The facilities are much better than the service; the attitude of a few front desk staff was quite off-putting.

As an older hotel, Jiangsu Hotel is well-managed in all aspects, and the service is quite good. The hotel's decor has a strong cultural and historical ambiance. Its location is also convenient for visiting nearby historical sites and attractions. I've stayed at this hotel multiple times when visiting Nanjing, and it offers great value for money. 👍

The service was excellent, and the room was very clean and tidy. My child threw up in the middle of the night, and the staff member who came to change the sheets was incredibly accommodating, not showing any displeasure at all. I'll definitely stay here again. The only minor issue was the robot room service; it was quite slow, taking about half an hour for each delivery.

Facilities: The room size was genuinely spacious, and the furniture was well-maintained. The decor had a bit of a民國 (Republic of China) era style, which I wouldn't call outdated or old; personally, I quite liked it. All the bathroom fixtures worked well, and the shower drainage was excellent, though the bathtub faucet had a slight leak.

Cleanliness: It was acceptable. I always feel rooms with wall-to-wall carpeting are a bit less clean, after all.

Environment: The location is very convenient, just a three-minute walk from the subway station. There are plenty of dining options. Directly across from the hotel entrance is a fairly large supermarket, and the hotel lobby also has an unmanned self-service mini-mart, making shopping very easy. Right next to the hotel is a decent-sized neighborhood park, which is a great option for a morning stroll or exercise.

Service: The front desk staff were quite good, but the in-room minibar was of lower quality; all the coffee was 3-in-1 instant, with no capsule options. The tea bags were also very ordinary. However, the shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom were quite good; my hair felt very soft and smooth after using them. Overall, it was decent.
