I enjoyed my 10 day stay in Nanjing at this hotel. The service was very nice. The breakfast was great. I did not have any other meals there so I can't speak for the service or food quality outside of breakfast. The bell staff is top notch. The front desk staff is great most of the time, but sometimes they... More

This hotel is listed as a 5 star hotel but I am not sure how they got away with that. The rooms were outdatted. The bed was clean however the wall paper was a little scary with stains and peeling. The bathroom seemed to be clean but again not a 5 star clean. The room was requested to be a... More

I would certainly not call this hotel plush at all but it was ok for a 4-star hotel. Service was indifferent as is often the case in China. The room was rather small but the price was good. The location was excellent for my needs. The buffet breakfast was not elaborate but adequate. It is right next to a subway... More

Wonderful staff at Lakeview Xuanwu, and the location across from the expansive park provides great views and opportunities for walking. We booked a non-smoking room, and when we arrived, the entire floor (16) was signed as non-smoking. But it quickly became obvious that the sign was a ruse. Our room was ashtray-equipped, and the patron in the adjacent room was... More

You walk in to a lovely foyer and are greeted warmly by the staff. So begins a great stay at this hotel in Nanjing. We spent 3 nights here in a comfortable, if not overly large hotel room. All the amenities loved by Western tourists were available: comfortable bed, hot showers, thick towels and great service. The hotel is located... More

Rooms are not huge as at others 5 star hotels (see Shangri-La for example) but are not on the small side. Lake view rooms really offer excellent views, from high floors, with panoramic window, just near the bed. Bathrooms are big and with separate showers and bath-tub. Many staff speak english, and receptionists were very helpfull. Location is wonderful. Hunan... More

I stayed here for a week in October 2010. My stay was quite pleasant and uneventful. The room was clean, comfortable, and fairly quiet, although smaller than I had expected. I had a "Deluxe Lakeview" room, but I could not usually see the lake because of the Nanjing smog. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was quite large, with... More

I've been to Nanjing four or five times and stayed at several hotels - including the Jinling, Shangri-la, and some more non-descript places. This one is the best. A world class property with oversize but comfortable rooms divided lounge/sleeping area. Truly international standards with stunning views of Blue Mountain/Lake (its namesake). One block from Hunan Rd, a great shopping area... More
