The hotel's location is superb, just a few minutes' walk to Deji Plaza, with an abundance of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby. The lobby offers complimentary ice drinks and snacks all day, which is an absolute lifesaver when you walk into the hotel after experiencing Nanjing's heat. The room isn't huge but perfectly adequate, and the hygiene is good, with a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom. It's a hotel with excellent value for money.

I booked Hanyuan because it is within walking distance to my folks home. And my grandma used to work at Nanjing Agricultural University, which the hotel is affiliated with. I read others’ reviews and knew it is an old facility. I did not have unrealistic expectations. We arrived late at night. Taxi driver dropped us off at the side entrance that has numerous stairs to the door. We had lots of luggage. As we got out of the cab, we saw some staff member in the lobby looking out. Instead of coming out to help us, he walked away. My husband, myself and our seven year old all carried/dragged multiple items up the stairs to get into the hotel lobby. We checked in and decided that we would need to add a bed for the kid. House keeping came quickly to set up the bed but was reluctant to provide pillows for the additional bed. I had to repeatedly ask before they agreed to bring an extra pillow. Don’t understand why there is such resistance to equip the additional bed with pillow- after all, we did pay for the additional bed. Everything else was pretty good during our first three-day-stay. We then went away to visit families elsewhere for a week before coming back to this hotel. This time, our car drove onto the ramp at the front entrance. As soon as we entered the building, lobby manager came to offer us help. He helped us deliver luggage to our room. We are very appreciative of his assistance. We ran into some issues at the front desk this time. They asked for our passports again and took our pictures for a second time. When I mentioned that we were just here a week ago and all information was taken already, we were told that all information has been erased as we checked out. When we checked in/out the first time, we informed front desk that we were making the hotel our base camp and will be coming in and out a few times. It’s strange that they would delete our information and redo everything all over again. Again we need to add a bed. House keeping brought a roller bed which has a stained mattress pad. I asked them to bring a clean one, they said they could not. They said they didn’t have any clean pads. They said the only option is to remove the pad and put the sheets directly on the mattress. They further suggested that since the sheet is clean, dirty pad doesn’t matter and that every mattress pad under bed sheets has urine stains. His words made my stomach turn but I was too tired to fight so they went ahead put sheets on top of the mattress pad that has a big yellow stain. Again I asked for pillows for the additional bed, they refused at first, upon my insistence, they agreed to bring pillows. They also took out a blanket from the cabinets under television and put it on the bed. When the seven year old was ready for bed, I opened the blanket and realized it’s cover is dirty. It’s dusty and has multiple stings of hair on it. I called house keeping, a lady quickly bought over a clean duvet cover for the blanket but refused to take away the dirty one. She insisted that we keep the dirty duvet in the closet. I did not understand her rationale but there isn’t anything I can do. So that dirty duvet cover stayed in the closet. Maybe I should not have come back to this hotel.

Last May Day, we visited the Club Med in Taicang, and the GOs recommended the newly opened Club Med in Nanjing. This summer, I brought my child here for a weekend (three days, two nights) during the school holidays, and the experience was fantastic, definitely a full five-star rating! **Accommodation:** The rooms were clean and tidy, and the housekeeping was meticulous. The cleaning staff were very friendly and patient, always refilling our drinking water. The resort grounds are spacious and comfortable, with excellent natural surroundings. You can overlook the lake from the balcony, offering a wide and open view. **Activities:** There are plenty of facilities for play, both indoors and outdoors. We happened to be here during a heatwave, so we mostly opted for indoor activities. The indoor sports area includes basketball, badminton, table tennis, billiards, and rock climbing, as well as a 'parkour' area (similar to an adventure course) that my child loved, which we visited for two consecutive days. You can also book KTV sessions. When it's hot, you can also sit at the U Bar and play cards, which is very relaxing. Outdoor activities are also abundant. You can cross a bridge to 'Explore Park,' where you can try archery, kayaking, windsurfing, or even the 'flying trapeze.' However, the flying trapeze requires training, and you need to be able to hang from a bar with both hands for at least ten counts. Neither of us had that much grip strength (we could only manage up to five), so we just watched other 'experts' try it. Kayaking was quite nice; the lake water was clear, and there were little ducks swimming around. It's best to go in the late afternoon, around 5-6 pm, to avoid the intense sun for a better experience. My sister and I kayaked together, and circling the large lake wasn't tiring at all. It's suitable for mothers or older children with moderate physical fitness. **Service:** The butler service was online throughout our stay, with quick responses and smooth communication. Whether it was booking activities or requesting supplies, they responded and handled everything promptly. When we wanted a clothes drying rack for our swimwear on the balcony after swimming, it was provided very quickly, which was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Being peak summer holiday season, the restaurant entrance traffic was also managed efficiently; just stating your room number allowed for quick entry, which was very user-friendly. Here, you can shed your fatigue and quietly enjoy your holiday. I'm already planning to come back when the weather isn't so scorching (the 'furnace city' reputation is certainly well-deserved). **Two additional points:** There's an external food delivery pick-up point near the entrance, which is very convenient. I also loved the hotel's lighting fixtures; they were very artistic. Finally, a big thank you to our butler, KIKI Angel, for the excellent service!

Service: Every staff member, from the front desk to housekeeping to the breakfast team, was incredibly warm and attentive. They patiently answered all my questions and diligently cleaned the room, replenishing necessities promptly. The restaurant recommended by the front desk lady was excellent, with delicious food. I was even allowed a late checkout for one room and received a small snack when leaving. Environment: The environment was also great. Although located in the bustling Qinhuai commercial district, it offers a peaceful retreat. The entrance isn't grand, but security is top-notch. Food deliveries are brought to the room by a robot, and the room itself is spacious. The bathroom drainage worked well, and the showerhead, while looking a bit vintage, had excellent water pressure. Toiletries were replenished regularly, and the three-zone separation meant we didn't disturb each other. Hygiene: Cleaning was timely, and they were responsive to customer requests. The bathroom drain was cleaned daily, and it didn't clog once during my 7-night stay, which was very reassuring. Facilities: The facilities are quite comprehensive. The Xiao Du smart assistant controls everything, which is very convenient. The toilet is also smart, though we only used its basic functions. The breakfast tasted good; I was very satisfied with the English breakfast, wontons, and plain noodles. Perhaps because of its proximity to the commercial district, not many people ate breakfast at the hotel, so the accompanying dishes didn't vary much, but the taste was still commendable. Here's a small suggestion: perhaps offer another pillow option. Mine became flat, but using two felt a bit too high for my personal preference.

I specifically came to Nanjing for a concert and chose this hotel – the experience was absolutely fantastic! The front desk staff, Ms. Liu Keke [strong], was incredibly warm and welcoming. When she heard we were in town for a show, she proactively helped us upgrade our room, which ended up being much more spacious. The room was spotlessly clean, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. After jumping around at the concert, it was a pure relief to lie down and relax. The location is excellent, making it very convenient to get to and from the venue. Our entire stay was comfortable and pleasant. I highly recommend this hotel to fellow concert-goers!

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.

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.

I'd heard a lot about Buckingham, and seen plenty of negative reviews, so I decided to check it out myself. My experience was much better than expected. **Ambiance:** The decor is undeniably luxurious, with a lavish feel throughout the room. Even the toothbrush holder and tissue box are gold. The oversized circular bathtub would be fantastic for photos! **Service:** I'd read many complaints about the front desk service. When we visited, we only encountered a slight coldness, but it met basic expectations – it's not a true five-star, so decent service is fine. We asked the front desk for an extra quilt, and it was delivered promptly by a very enthusiastic auntie. **Hygiene:** The hygiene was acceptable; there were no obvious stains in the room. The extra quilt we requested did have some stains, but considering it was an additional item and would have a duvet cover, it was tolerable. The slippers in the room were very comfortable, and they provided thoughtful amenities like charging cables and a phone stand, which was great. However, the TV only had two channels, most facilities incurred extra charges, and food delivery wasn't allowed upstairs – these issues were also present. Overall, it's great value for money and I'd recommend it.

Maybe it's because it's a hotel in a scenic area, and there's a lot of foot traffic. It took me almost 20 minutes to check in at the front desk, even though I arrived around 5:30 PM. At that time, my room was still being cleaned and inspected. The front desk's response time was incredibly slow. The front desk management here is the worst I've experienced at any Atour hotel nationwide. And get this: the gym and laundry room are in the same space! There's only one treadmill, a full set of dumbbells, but the laundry room is stuffy, hot, and the AC doesn't work. Working out in there is pure torture. Unless you have a specific reason, I wouldn't recommend staying next to a scenic area; the experience is really bad.
