Hotels in Shanxi Road Area, Nanjing

We had a wonderful time at Shangri-la. The room had a great view of the Xuan Wu lake. It has a walk-in closet and a huge bathroom. The king size bed was very comfortable. Breakfast is offered on the 2nd and 40th floors. Both sides offered a good selection of western and local cuisine. The afternoon tea offered a wide selection of food and drinks as well. There is a well-equiped gym, indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. They also offered jogging guide around the Xuan Wu lake. Service is excellent. Staff is thoughtful and always looking out for our needs. They provided more of my favorite drinks in the mini bar without us asking for it. We had a wonderful experience there. The hotel is next to the metro line 1 and really accessible to several places of interest like Nanjing Museum, Xuan Wu lake, Xinjiekou shopping district, Qinhuai River, Confucius Temple, Laomendong, Presidential Palace Museum and Dabaoen temple museum. We had a wonderful experience there and we will definitely return if we are in 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!

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

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. 

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!

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.

The hotel was excellent. They assigned a room that perfectly met my needs. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the shower had excellent water pressure. A great bonus was that the TV came with streaming subscriptions, which allowed me to finally catch up on a show I'd been wanting to watch. While there was some renovation work on the ground floor shops outside, it didn't affect my stay at all. All in all, it offers fantastic value for money.

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!

The hotel has a low premium during the May Day holiday and is very cost-effective. I took my niece out for a trip. When checking in, I called my brother and sister-in-law to confirm. The hotel has a high sense of safety and deserves praise! The only drawback is that there are no children's toiletries and no footrests. It is not very convenient for children under 1.2 meters to wash.
