Staying at Bookstore Homestay (Nanjing Confucius Temple)

The bookstore theme is very unique, with a quiet and artistic atmosphere, perfect for those who love reading. The accommodation itself is quite basic, the space is small, and I wasn't very satisfied with the cleanliness. Everything else was okay though 😑

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!
