Romantic Hotels in Nanjing

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.

Highly recommend this hidden gem for families with kids! Purple Lake Resort Hotel + Wildlife World. I suggest a 3-day, 2-night stay, opting for the package that includes accommodation, unlimited access to the wildlife park, and hot springs. This allows you to comfortably see all the animals and enjoy plenty of interactive experiences. **Day 1:** Arrived at 10 AM, checked in immediately, dropped off our bags, and headed into the park. First, we watched the sea lion show, then fed and interacted with giraffes, elephants, zebras, and more. Finally, we took the mini-train for an overall tour of the park and fed the animals. For lunch, we went back to the hotel for a meal and a nap. After waking up, we played at the kids' playground until 5 PM (older kids might consider the outdoor amusement park for rides like the pirate ship and Ferris wheel). Dinner was in Tangshan town; many local farm-to-table restaurants offer great value (we got a 4-dish set for three people for 168 RMB [thumbs up]). After dinner, we enjoyed the hot springs, concluding our first day. **Day 2:** After an early breakfast, we went straight back into the park to see the giant pandas (they're more active from 9 AM to 11 AM). Afterward, we rode ponies, then went to the deer and monkey areas for interactive feeding, and caught up on any other animals we missed. After a simple lunch, we watched the 1 PM grand circus performance, then checked out. A one-night stay is sufficient, but two nights make it much more relaxed. The entire resort is perfect for multi-generational trips with seniors and children. The environment is beautiful and peaceful. Seniors can also enjoy boating, watching fish and swans, soaking in the hot springs, and leisurely strolls. I'll definitely consider bringing my parents here next time.

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.

Stay Summary: A hotel with very distinct pros and cons. ✅ Major Highlight: Service Our butler, Cora, truly deserves praise. From pre-arrival communication to the entire check-in process, she was incredibly attentive. When I mentioned the uncomfortable mattress and chair, she not only responded quickly but also personally followed up until the issues were resolved. This kind of warm, detailed service left a deep impression. ✅ Location and View Getting around was very convenient; everything nearby was easily accessible. The view from the lake-view room was indeed lovely, a definite bonus. ➖ Breakfast: Nothing special InterContinental breakfasts usually have a great reputation, but the offerings here were just 'decent.' Nothing stood out as something I'd want to get again; it lacked memorable dishes. ❌ Hardware: Quite disappointing The equipment in the room was noticeably old. The TV even had several channels with static, which is unacceptable for this price point. Overall: Worth staying for the service and the view, but don't set your expectations too high for the hardware.

Here's my detailed review of the hotel: **Pros:** 1. **Excellent Location:** The hotel boasts a fantastic location, making transportation incredibly convenient. The light rail station is just a short walk away. It's also super easy to visit the Qinhuai River Scenic Belt as the hotel is right at the entrance to the area. 2. **Great Service:** * I saw staff cleaning rooms daily. They don't have a fixed cleaning schedule; instead, they adapt to guests' check-out/check-in times and their activity schedules. * When I checked in, the customer service staff saw me with a large suitcase. From the moment I entered the hotel, they proactively helped me with my luggage all the way to my room after check-in. * Seeing that I was traveling with a child and staying for 6 consecutive nights, they proactively upgraded my room type from a standard twin to a 'Zhuangyuan' deluxe twin. * The standard two complimentary bottles of water per day were increased to four due to the hot weather. * Upon check-out, they even gave a special 'Zhuangyuan' bookmark as a gift for my child. 3. **Cleanliness and Environment:** Both the hygiene and overall environment were quite good. The room was cleaned daily, and since the floor was carpeted, it was always vacuumed. 4. **Excellent Bathroom Facilities:** The in-room shower facilities were great, with strong water pressure and stable temperature. The hotel also has a gym and a swimming pool on the 3rd floor. **Cons:** 1. **Noisy Air Conditioning:** The air conditioning in the room was quite loud, which might be an issue for light sleepers. 2. **Tricky Power Outlets:** The power outlets in the room weren't very user-friendly; I had to push quite hard to plug things in. 3. **Carpeted Floors:** The room had carpeting, and personally, I feel that carpets, no matter how well cleaned, can easily harbor bacteria and dust. This could be problematic for people with rhinitis or pharyngitis. Tiled floors would be a better alternative. 4. **Overpriced Breakfast Buffet:** The breakfast buffet cost 68 RMB per person, which felt a bit expensive and not entirely worth the price. This is the first time I've put so much effort into reviewing a hotel, which goes to show how impressed I was. Overall, this is a good hotel, and I would choose to stay here again on my next visit to Nanjing.

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!

Traveling with friends, we chose this hotel and overall had a great stay. The service and cleanliness were excellent. On our last day, due to a personal health issue, we asked if we could have a late check-out. The staff promptly informed us that it would be free of charge, which was incredibly considerate. Plus, the hotel is not far from Xuanwu Lake, making it super convenient for enjoying the night views!

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.

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 was cosy and comfortable and we thought there was enough space for our two suitcases, even though the room seems small. The staff is very helpful and very polite. Everything was clean and nice :) Right next to one of the entrances for the old area with the temple. We happened on the lantern festival and is was really pretty!
