Staying at Bookstore Homestay (Nanjing Confucius Temple) Reviews

The location is unbeatable since it is a few walking minutes away from the Confucius Temple, which is surrounded by beautiful shops and restaurants. This stay was in a cute bookstore, and we were greeted by a lovely couple, very kind, very warm. The room 101 was located in the ground floor and we were really grateful since we didn't have to carry the luggage to a second floor. I highly recommend this place and definitely would come back. Thanks for everything!

I absolutely have to rave about this homestay! It truly shattered my stereotype that you can't find good quality accommodation right next to a tourist spot. First off, the room was huge! I could fully open two 28-inch suitcases and still have plenty of space to move around. Most importantly, it was spotless! I felt completely comfortable walking barefoot on the floor. The newly installed toilet and shower head were a joy to use! The bedding wasn't that slippery, artificially white kind you often find in some hotels; it was plush and soft, making you never want to leave the bed. The attention to detail was truly impressive: soft-bristled toothbrushes, and they even provided a small comb! Everything was of excellent quality. The common area has a washing machine, dryer, and free laundry detergent – an absolute lifesaver for long trips! You can even hang clothes to dry, making laundry worries a thing of the past. The location is absolutely fantastic! It's just a two-minute walk out the door to the subway station, and Fuzi Temple is literally across the street. Super convenient for enjoying the evening lights and shopping. I'm extremely satisfied and will definitely recommend it to my friends!

This B&B truly lives up to its photos – no filters or touch-ups needed! The room was surprisingly spacious, spotlessly clean, and the bedding was incredibly comfortable. It came well-equipped with all the essentials: towels, bath towels, toothbrushes, soap, combs, and slippers. The shared bathrooms were absolutely spotless, and they even provided a washing machine and dryer, complete with complimentary laundry detergent. All amenities provided were of excellent quality. There was also a convenient drying area for clothes on every floor. The location is fantastic: it's only about a 2-minute walk to the subway station, and the Confucius Temple is just across the street. My family absolutely loved it, and frankly, I think the value for money here is second to none in the Fuzi Miao area! Overall, it was a very satisfying stay, and my family and I had a wonderful time here!

Cleanliness: Spotless. Service: The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. Environment: We stayed for two consecutive nights. The second night was much quieter than the first; our neighbors next door put their children to bed early, and it seemed like no one was staying upstairs, which allowed us to have a wonderful night's sleep. The bed was quite firm, but our child was very happy. A TV would have made the stay absolutely perfect, and we would have even been willing to pay a little more for it.

The owner and the gentleman working there were incredibly friendly! The location is super convenient, right next to Fuzimiao Metro Station and very close to the Fuzimiao (Confucius Temple) itself. I'll definitely be back on my next trip to Nanjing!

Fantastic! The location is excellent, very close to the scenic spots. The host even proactively added me on WeChat to share local food recommendations and travel tips.

Extremely satisfied! The location is super convenient, just a four or five-minute walk from Fuzi Miao (Confucius Temple) Metro Exit 3 and 4. The gentleman who looks after the guesthouse is very friendly and welcoming, and the owner is also wonderful. They're happy to share local food recommendations and travel tips. The room was very clean, and the bedding was spotless. Complimentary bottled water is provided daily. For food, if you exit Metro Line 4 and turn right, you'll find Qingzhen Jintongji, whose beef potstickers are absolutely delicious. Right at the alley entrance to the guesthouse, there's a fruit cart that opens around 5 or 6 PM daily. Their watermelon is incredibly sweet and even comes with a spoon! It's also very close to Fuzi Miao, where you can find delicious red bean glutinous rice balls at Lianhu Gaotuan shop. Don't miss the crab roe soup dumplings and sugar taro dessert at Jiming Tangbao either! Overall, my experience was excellent. The only minor drawback is that it's close to the street, so light sleepers might find it a bit noisy.

The location is excellent, very close to both the subway station and Confucius Temple. The guesthouse owner was very friendly, and the room even had a good selection of books.

The location is fantastic! It's just a few minutes' walk from the subway exit, tucked away in an alley. Confucius Temple is also incredibly close by! The room felt so cozy, and there were plenty of picture books. My child absolutely adored the swing in the courtyard! The hostess and her husband were absolutely wonderful, providing us with so much help. I'll definitely stay here again on my next trip to Nanjing!

Booking two rooms was great value for our large family trip. All towels and essential amenities were readily available, the air conditioning was powerful, and there was plenty of bottled water. The hostess was incredibly warm and welcoming, and the host provided truly enthusiastic hospitality, making us feel like cherished guests! Even though the weather in Nanjing was very hot, we had a fantastic time. I didn't get a chance to take many detailed photos of this cozy and inviting guesthouse. It was quite quiet at night. Outside the entrance, there's a table perfect for enjoying a beer, and even a swing. The kids enjoyed picking out picture books to read. Upon entering the courtyard, there's a huge bookshelf brimming with books. Overall, it was excellent, highly recommended!

This was a truly satisfying stay on my trip. The Little Courtyard B&B is a guesthouse that has been converted from a kindergarten. Upon entering, the ambiance is quite scholarly, and the place itself is clean, comfortable, and wonderfully bright. A major plus is the courtyard, where guests can conveniently do their laundry and hang clothes to dry – a huge help during hot summer days when you sweat a lot and need fresh clothes. Its location is fantastic too, right by the subway entrance and near Fuzi Temple, making it incredibly easy to get anywhere. And the price is very reasonable, offering great value for money! All in all, I'm incredibly satisfied! If I get the chance to visit again, or if any friends are planning a trip here, I'll definitely recommend this B&B!

Our room was wonderfully spacious, bright, and spotless. The location is incredibly convenient. The service was so attentive, and the kind gentleman who runs the place was particularly warm and welcoming. What really stood out was their selection of picture books, which were curated with excellent taste. Our kids absolutely adored them and insisted on staying here again on our next trip!

“If I ever return to Nanjing, I'll definitely stay here again!” — This isn't just my personal sentiment; it's a feeling echoed across over 30 genuine reviews. Whether you're a family on a trip with kids, girlfriends exploring the city's hotspots, or a solo traveler seeking tranquility, this book-themed retreat allows you to immerse your journey in the calming scent of books, with every thoughtful detail designed to melt away your fatigue. The location is perfect 💯, the service is genuinely attentive 💖, and the aesthetics are absolutely stunning 📸 — it's more than just a guesthouse; it's the perfect embodiment of a Jinling dream! (A little tip for couples: you might want to skip the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall; it's a truly heavy and somber experience.)

The location couldn't be better, right by the #3 Subway Confucius Temple station, walking distance to lots of attractions. The husband and wife hosts were extremely helpful. I traveled with my 80 year old Mom. The wife host helped haul one of our luggages to the Subway station when we checked out. She gave us lots of recommendations and we particularly enjoyed the Hui (Halal) restaurant nearby.
