Romantic Hotels in Nanjing

It’s a great experience. Very beautiful room, very clean, and the onsen in the room was wonderful. Very friendly owner as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to take a break, or relax… Will come back again ^_^

The hotel offered excellent service and facilities. The front desk staff, in particular, were incredibly friendly. However, as it's integrated with the Wild Animal World, reviewing the hotel alone isn't objective; the entire complex needs to be considered. After all, without the Wild Animal World, who would travel all the way to such a remote location to stay here? Considering the entire complex, it's quite mediocre. The main issue is the Wild Animal World, which is quite disappointing. Firstly, there are too few animal species. And for almost every animal – sika deer, hippos, elephants, kangaroos, rabbits, birds, etc. – carrots are sold at the entrance. It's 30 yuan for one portion, 50 for two, and each portion only contains 10 small pieces, not even enough to make up one whole carrot. If you don't feed them, you can only observe from behind a fence; you can enter the enclosure only if you pay for food. I spent 120 yuan just feeding animals along the way. Visitors aren't allowed to feed the animals with their own carrots, and I saw that the ones they brought looked fresher than what we bought. Secondly, there are too few amusement rides. There are only four: a Ferris wheel, a pirate ship, a carousel, and small rotating airplanes. The equipment is so small, similar to what you'd find in a shopping mall. It doesn't feel like an amusement park at all. Moreover, except for the Ferris wheel, the other three rides operate at fixed times. Each session lasts only two or three minutes, and if you want to ride again, you have to wait for the next scheduled opening. Thirdly, the complimentary hotel's 'Lion Star Children's Playground' included in the package can only be entered once, but no one informed us of this. On the first day, while waiting for our room card, we went down and played for about forty minutes. Once we got the room card, we dropped our luggage in the room and headed to the Wild Animal World. The next day, when we tried to re-enter, we were turned away, told we could only enter once. Even on a Monday, when there were hardly any children inside, we weren't allowed in. If we wanted to enter, we'd have to pay over 80 yuan for a ticket. With this scale, who would be foolish enough to pay over 80 yuan for a ticket? Fourthly, the concept of a 'Night Animal Exploration' is good. But participating in it reveals how chaotic the organization is. There are too many people. They split into two groups, each with at least 100 adults and children. Armed with flashlights, the educational staff used microphones and loud speakers, walking non-stop. Doesn't all the noise, the microphone sounds, and the flashlight beams truly disturb the animals? We just kept walking and walking, with almost no time to stop and observe. What's the point? It would be better to have smaller, boutique tours, maybe 10-15 people per group, even if it costs more, to allow for a quieter experience where children can truly observe, learn, and explore. Fifthly, they advertised a complimentary whole roasted lamb. The catch is that you have to spend money at their restaurant. For my eight-year-old child and me, the best value was a 199 yuan set meal. For 199 yuan, we received a very small portion of roasted lamb. If you don't dine at the hotel restaurant, the whole roasted lamb is not complimentary. Sixthly, there are very few dining and cultural creative stores within the park. Far fewer than at Hongshan Zoo. The overall experience at this Wild Animal World doesn't feel like it belongs in a provincial capital like Nanjing; it's more like a county town. Many county towns even have more amusement facilities than this. Of course, there are irreplaceable advantages. There are five adorable giant pandas. We went at 9:30 AM, when it wasn't crowded, and watched them for a full hour. Purely for the panda viewing experience, it's even better than the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. If your child loves animals and wants to see them, I recommend Hongshan Zoo; it's more conveniently located and offers a better experience. If you're an out-of-town friend looking for a leisure vacation, since you're already traveling, I suggest going to Zhengzhou's Yinji Animal World. It's a world of difference. If you want to see many animals.

The proprietress was very good, introduced the surrounding scenic spots and restaurants, did not take the wrong road and did not step on the thunder. There are fewer flowers in winter, and it should be better in spring.

The hotel offers a peaceful retreat despite its central location. The front desk service was excellent, and the room was very clean. Breakfast was also good. The transportation is incredibly convenient; it's a 15-minute walk to the Presidential Palace and only 300 meters from Xi'anmen subway station, making it easy to reach various attractions. Right next to the hotel is a local residential area with great little restaurants in the alleyways, as well as chain stores like Liu Changxing. Overall, I had a very positive experience.

I had a really pleasant stay in Nanjing this time. The hotel I checked into offered excellent service, and the surrounding area was lovely. It's centrally located in Nanjing, making transportation very convenient, close to both Daxinggong and Changfujie metro stations. The room facilities were complete, with a wet/dry separated bathroom. Zhou at the front desk was also very thoughtful and quickly helped me adjust my room. The room itself was quite spacious and relatively quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. Getting around was a breeze, being close to the subway and with bus stops right outside. I could also store my luggage after checking out. I was extremely satisfied with my stay. It's definitely worth recommending. They even asked about my satisfaction, which shows how attentive and considerate they are. Highly recommended!

As an established star-rated hotel in Nanjing, Zhuangyuanlou offers excellent value for money. It's incredibly close to Dacheng Hall, Zhan Garden, and Wuyi Lane, making it super convenient for a night cruise on the Qinhuai River. The surrounding transportation is also very accessible, which explains why it's always bustling with tourists. The hotel breakfast has a wide variety of dishes, with nice presentations and delicious flavors, carrying good meanings. The only minor inconvenience is parking if you're driving. When we arrived, the hotel's outdoor parking lot was full. The security guard insisted on seeing our booking confirmation before letting us through, but even after showing it, there was no space. We were then directed to the underground parking, which was a bit of a hassle to navigate to. And guess what? Another security guard there also insisted on seeing the booking confirmation again. Honestly, I think the two security guards, one upstairs and one downstairs, could easily solve this issue with a walkie-talkie. That's why I didn't give a full 5-star rating this time. Overall, it's still a very good hotel.

Before we even arrived, the hotel reception informed us that our booked apartment had windows facing the corridor and offered a complimentary upgrade to a two-story, 100+ square meter apartment if we minded – I immediately accepted the upgrade. The apartment was spacious and spotless, and we were all very satisfied and grateful for the hotel's upgrade. The location is superb, with a wide variety of dining options and shopping malls everywhere. The front desk staff, security, and cleaning aunties were all very warm and friendly. It offers great value for money, and we will definitely stay here again next time we visit Nanjing.

The hotel is right next to Xuanwu Lake, a little bit far from the metro station, but acceptable. There's a mall nearby, so it's quite convenient for dining. The overall hotel environment is pretty good, and the staff are friendly. However, the room facilities are a bit old, and there were some stains on the sofa chair. Also, there was a constant strange noise, I'm not sure if it was from upstairs or the exterior wall, which affected my rest a bit.

I personally think it's great. There's a 24-hour front desk, and you need a key card for the elevator, which feels very secure. A robot delivers room service, and the sheets and duvet covers are spotless. The hotel has a charming, vintage-inspired design. The breakfast buffet is also good; the photo shows a corner of the self-service area, which surprisingly had toast and a toaster – something you don't always see at buffets, probably catering to international guests. I didn't take more photos of the restaurant as people were dining, and I wanted to respect their privacy. Overall, it's a really good place.

The room has a charming, old-fashioned feel and is very comfortable. The windows have screens, which is great for keeping bugs out while allowing for good ventilation. The facilities are comprehensive, and the front desk staff are friendly and helpful. It's also conveniently located close to Nanjing Confucius Temple. I would definitely recommend this place to friends visiting Nanjing in the future. It offers excellent value for money!
