Hotels in Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area/Jiming Temple, Nanjing

One of the top tier hotels in Nanjing. Services provided are great. In particular, receptionist Avonia had done a very good job in advising me for dining options. Staff might not understand much English but are willing to overcome by using Translator which is a nice touch. Buffet Breakfast was a highlight, 4 mornings in a row and we still haven’t tried every single item. Only setback is the cigarette butt I saw on the floor in the restroom on the 2nd Floor. Well, guess it’s not the staff to be blamed but sort of the culture of the local people. Nevertheless, we found the stay of 4 nights was satisfactory and will definitely recommend to others.

I asked the hotel to get a non-smoking room. The hotel staff was so friendly and helped me with my wish. A big plus point is that the hotel staff can speak english very well. I can only recommend to stay here at Tiafeng Hotel, especially as a foreigner. The location is great. Breakfast was amazing and the room clean and with a good smell! Thank you for the amazing time in Tianfeng Hotel and Nanjing

I’ll start with the things that annoyed me about this hotel. The list is long… 1. How the hell are the rooms so expensive when the curtains are not automatically? You can’t move the curtains from the bedside. You have to get up and go move it all the way. 2. The Ac is so noisy and the only way you can turn it off is leave your bed and go right there 3. Only two switches next to the bed for the lights. All other switches by the door. In fact, it’s not a smart room though what I paid for showed they have everything. Paid almost 700 a night. 4. There’s no menu in the room and I called for menu and they said they’ll send someone but had to call back 30-45mins later and they sent someone with some kinda snack that I didn’t even ask for. Finally menu came an hour later after a series of calls. The only thing I liked was the bathroom and the views if am being honest. I paid for the highest floor but got put in the 38floor telling me the higher floors were out meanwhile I paid for it. One more thing, there’s bathtub but no bath soap nor salt. Like how you expect me to take a bath ???? Nahhh!!! They’ve got to put their game up!

A 9.5 out of 10 hotel. Very good indeed. Location is good, right next to the enchanting XuanWu Lake, with subway station just under the hotel. Connected to the hotel is a mall with nice restaurants. Service is beyond expectation, the concierge, the front desk, the housekeeping staff are all very well trained and professional, as well as helpful and friendly.  Breakfast spread is so good and tasty and we both gained weight during our 5 days four night stay. I will definitely and strongly recommend this hotel to all my friends visiting Nanjing. 

We got a free rooms upgrade by the hotel as it’s our wedding anniversary trips!! Rooms are clean n tidy n comfortable. Spacious room too. Very iconic hotel building in Nanjing as well, metro is just within 2 mins walk from the hotel main entrance. Their room top bar is amazing at lvl 78! We stay at lvl 52 which is pretty cool with an amazing view! Will highly recommend this hotel

The hotel looks new and located next to Xuanwu lake in a quiet but convenient location. Among several Ascott hotels I have stayed, this is the worst regarding to its service. The guy at the front desk lacks a professional attitude. The information he provided was wrong and he was corrected right on site by a lady next to him. So embarrassing! I booked three rooms and they were assigned far apart. I made three calls to the front desk, two were not answered by anyone during day time. The one got picked up provided me with wrong information about the pool hrs. I went to the swimming pool only to find out it’s closed. I went straight to the front desk and was told that oh they forgot the pool is closed on Monday. I should have been told so over the phone. They’ve got to provide more trainings to their staffs before open for business. Ascott in Nanjing needs improvement!

I visit Nanjing often, and for this price range, this is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. The reception is on the 6th floor, but the staff are very polite, efficient, and can communicate in English. The room is well-equipped, clean, and quite modern. Breakfast starts as early as 6:30 AM, abig plus, and the selection offers both variety and great taste.

The hotel is located near Gulou Square, with good geographical location and convenient transportation. It is close to Zifeng Tower, Shiziqiao Food Street and Wuyue Plaza, which can meet various food needs. Xuanwu Lake Park is also not far away. The only problem is that it is not easy to find. You have to come in from the alley leading to the north campus of Gulou Hospital and have the same front desk as GreenTree Inn. The hotel is newly renovated, and its style is similar to that of a certain season. I booked a 1.5-meter king-size bed room, and the front desk lady helped me upgrade it to a 1.8-meter king-size bed room for free. The room is generally comfortable, of a suitable size, and the bed is also comfortable. The only drawback is that the bathroom door opens right in front of the toilet, which is a bit cramped. The glass door of the shower room does not block water very well, so there is water all over the floor after taking a shower. There is also no marking on the switch panel to control anything, so turning on and off the lights is like opening a blind box every time. Overall, I am quite satisfied!

We enjoyed staying here enough that we booked another night. We moved to a different room that had a more unique design. The windows stretch from one end to the other and the shower and toilet were separate. A very nice stay for solo or couple travel.

My stay at Wenyi Jin Hotel in Nanjing from August 6–8 was overall pleasant. The hotel’s location was convenient, with easy access to public transport and nearby attractions. The room was clean, modern, and well-equipped, though slightly compact for two people with luggage. **Highlights:** - **Comfortable beds** and quality linens ensured good sleep. - **Friendly staff** who assisted with directions and basic requests. - **Good value** for the price paid. **Areas for Improvement:** - **Breakfast variety** could be expanded—more local Nanjing dishes would be a plus. - **Soundproofing** between rooms was lacking; we could hear hallway noise at night. Would recommend for short stays, especially for travelers prioritizing location and affordability. With a few tweaks, this could be a 5-star experience!
