2-Star Hotels in Nanjing

After a lot of research, I finally decided on Yindu, which I can confidently call the pinnacle of all-female hostels nationwide. I honestly don't think any other hostel can surpass Yindu. The location is excellent, making it super convenient for getting around. It's probably only a 6-7 minute walk from the subway station. There's a McDonald's and a police station downstairs, and an elevator which is really handy. The owner even provides fresh, sweet, and delicious watermelon. The environment is also fantastic. There are plenty of showers and toilets, so you never have to wait, and lots of hairdryers too. Sitting in the common area listening to music during downtime is very pleasant. When I checked in, the owner was very meticulous, explaining everything and introducing the facilities. All in all, Yindu is just the best!

This summer, I took my daughter to stay at the Dream Castle parent-child room at Yunxi Yasu, and choosing this accommodation for our Nanjing family trip really saved us a lot of hassle. The guesthouse's location is super convenient, making it easy to get to Hongshan Zoo, Xuanwu Lake, and Maya Water Park without long commutes, which is a big plus when traveling with kids. The room has just the right touch of childlike charm, with pink bow pillows, dessert-themed artwork, and a gentle, cute vibe. It even comes with a DIY dessert station, a complete set of children's makeup toys, and various plush dolls. My daughter was completely immersed the moment we walked in, playing quietly all afternoon. Downstairs, there are plenty of dining options; my daughter was thrilled to find Cha Yan Yue Se (a popular tea shop), and local specialties like Jiming soup dumplings and duck blood vermicelli soup are just downstairs. The overall setup is clean and thoughtful, perfectly catering to a little girl's preferences. It's highly recommended for families with young daughters who want both convenience and comfort on their travels.

The hotel was great. The front desk is on the 25th floor. To enter the building, you need to enter a code on the dial pad. I recommend contacting the hotel before going for details. The room was good in terms of appearance and I received everything I asked for. In winter, the water heater is necessary and it did not delay here. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

This hostel changed the idea I had of a great hostel! SEE OTHER REVIEWS FOR COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING CHECK-IN/STAFF: Simple & easy. There is a language barrier with most of the staff, but it's nothing a little patience, on both ends, and a translator can't fix. I was helped to my room with my bags. I personally enjoyed the staff and especially one of the cleaning ladies. She was truly a joy to see every day and seemed like she genuinely liked seeing me. They helped when my food order had issues, twice. I was helped getting I was running late for my train on check-out morning. ROOMS/FACILITIES: Comfortable, clean and curtain for the beds. I the rooms are reasonably spacious. The average person follows the general quiet in the rooms so you can sleep peacefully any time you want. The blanket is thick, some beds have extra little hooks. (Would be nice if they added them for all beds) Pillows are decent, towel and locker provided. Beds have North American & Chinese style plugs. The entire outlet system of the building seems to be that way. AMENITIES/GOOD TO KNOW Laundry detergent, toothbrush/toothpaste individually wrapped units and earplugs provided at no cost. Towel/bed sheet change upon request is offered if stay is 3+ days. The main lobby toilets are used buy restaurants guests from next door. The is security at night (not personally for the hostel, for the alley) Private homes are across the way so keep the volume low to quiet after 10pm. OVERALL/PERSONAL THOUGHTS ” I would recommend staying here for a short or long period. Excellent valut for dollars. I felt very welcomed, comfortable & overall relaxed. My only real complaint is the lack of fridge,microwave and a sink area. As a budget traveler it can get costly having to order or go out for every meal is super inconvenient. To be fair, you can ask for your items to be placed in the staff fridge at the bar. The downside is having to wait and ask for staff to get it for me. This was super frustrating when I wanted my food and had to wait about 20 minutes for someone to finally be able to do it. Not to mention the general inconvenience of not being able to go to a fridge at will. Even though there's a laundry area upstairs, many people will do laundry in the sinks leaving the bathroom floors constantly wet and countertops soaked. Not management's fault but could possibly be addressed in the rules. There are days where a gentleman will come sit outside the hostel or the general alley area with Barky McBarkerson his incredibly annoying dog that's constantly barking at everyone and everything. When they're directly on the property hanging out infront don't even think of enjoying the fresh air peacefully . I think there's a way for management to address bothersome behavior to their guest. IMO if management could somehow provide a common fridge and a microwave, they would be close to top tier hostel all things considered. Review based on multiple stays. Enjoy

The cleanliness and environment here are a major highlight; every area is meticulously tidy. The central air conditioning runs silently, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The front desk staff are welcoming and pleasant to communicate with. The hotel boasts a prime location right next to the ancient Qinhuai River, with all major attractions within walking distance. It's highly recommended. My stay was incredibly relaxing, and I strongly suggest it to tourists visiting from out of town. The bathroom's wet and dry separation design is well-planned and kept clean, without any dampness. The high-speed internet was consistently smooth with no lagging whatsoever. The front desk was efficient, making check-in and check-out quick. The hotel is located right at the entrance to the ancient Qinhuai, meaning popular attractions are right at your doorstep.

Great service. The room was clean, comfortable, spacious, and bright. The breakfast was excellent and very diverse. I highly recommend staying here! 👌

Location The hotel is near Dongliu Station, but you need to walk about 3 blocks (15 minutes). The walk is flat, but in July and August it can get very hot, so bring an umbrella. The area is quiet and feels isolated. Although the hotel is not far from Nanjing University Xianlin Campus, there is no direct train, you need to change lines and make an awkward turn. Shared bikes (Hello blue bikes) are convenient in Xianlin, but not around this hotel. A good option is to take the B3 shuttle bus from Sanyang Road, which goes to Nanjing University train station (walking distance to NJU). Around the hotel, you will find small eateries (like chicken and duck rice shops) and a few convenience stores, but no malls. Cleanliness The rooms are clean, but there is a smoke smell that stays for about a day. The staff suggested opening the window and using the aircon, but I also bought a reed diffuser from Miniso to make it smell fresher. Bedsheets were changed regularly (every 5 days). The toilet slippers looked dirty, so I did not use them. Also, the hotel does not provide floor towels. Staff & Service The staff were very kind and helpful. They upgraded me to a bigger double room with a sofa and work area, and also gave me a cheaper rate since I stayed for 40 nights. Cleaning staff came daily, bringing bottled water and keeping the toilet clean. The night-shift counter staff were also helpful. Facilities There is a washing machine that can wash and dry in one cycle. Do not overload it, or clothes won’t dry properly. Since the hotel is not very busy, I could use the machine anytime without queuing. Rooms have a hair dryer and a lighted mirror. The aircon makes a small dripping sound, but it is not a real problem. Noise The soundproofing is generally okay, but occasionally you can hear people talking loudly if there are guests next door. It’s not the hotel’s fault—just that people in China often speak very loudly, even inside their rooms or in the corridor. Nothing much you can do about it. Surroundings & Safety The area is safe, with big roads and many residential apartments. In the evenings, families with kids and dogs walk around, and I also jogged nearby. Food delivery is easy drivers can bring food to your room or the counter. Overall It is a quiet and safe place to stay, with helpful staff and decent facilities. The location is not very convenient for NJU Xianlin Campus, but manageable if you use the shuttle bus.

The hotel is super convenient for transportation, it's only about a five or six-minute walk to the subway station, which is incredibly friendly for tourists! I arrived quite early because I was on an early train, and the front desk staff proactively helped me with my luggage. Their service attitude was excellent, and they even arranged for me to check in early! The price is economical and affordable, and the environment is very clean. It's incredibly good value for money!

The front desk lady was very kind and gentle. The facilities were complete and very clean. The location is also very close to Fuzhou Bridge subway station, and many attractions are on Line 3, making travel convenient. I'm very satisfied with this experience! 🤩

The room is clean and tidy. The front desk lady was very nice when checking in. The hotel security uncle took the initiative to help me with my luggage. Because I had a lot of luggage, I really thought the uncle was very nice. In the morning, the front desk brother reminded me to check out. His voice was gentle. When the aunt saw that I checked out, she took the initiative to help me take my luggage to the elevator. The service attitude was really good. You can also store your luggage for free. The hotel's onboarding experience is very good and worth it. Attached is a picture of the luggage. I'm already in the car. I will stay at Qingmu next time❤️❤️❤️💗💓❣️
