I was initially asked by the hotel to leave a five-star review, but after my full stay I can’t do so in good conscience, and I have since adjusted my rating based on the second half of my booking. This was a two-part stay (two separate bookings of five days each), and while there are genuinely strong positives, the overall experience was significantly affected by ongoing service and cleanliness issues. There are still clear strengths to highlight. The location is excellent—quiet, safe, and surrounded by good restaurants, convenience stores, and a pleasant park nearby. The rooms are also very well designed: spacious, comfortable, and equipped with useful amenities such as a washing machine. The layout and overall setup make it a very livable space. The staff were, for the most part, kind and helpful. One staff member in particular was consistently warm and welcoming. When issues were raised, the team did attempt to respond professionally, and I do appreciate that some solutions were offered, including a discounted rate for a future stay. However, there were repeated concerns that affected my experience, particularly during the second half of my stay. Cleanliness remained a consistent issue. Even after rooms were serviced, dust accumulated very quickly—so much so that items like my laptop would be visibly covered overnight. This raises concerns about the overall level of cleanliness and ventilation. In addition, housekeeping services felt inconsistent. On multiple occasions I had to specifically request basic essentials such as bottled water and fresh towels, rather than these being proactively restocked daily as would normally be expected in this type of accommodation. Service consistency also varied. Some days staff would check in or ask whether I needed room cleaning, while on other days there was no such follow-up at all. This lack of routine made the experience feel unpredictable for a stay of this length. There were also concerns regarding pricing and communication during an attempted extension of my stay. I had initially paid approximately 268 rand per night (already at a discounted rate). When I asked to extend for one additional night during the May Day holiday period, I was quoted around 800 rand. While I understand that rates fluctuate during peak demand, this felt inconsistent given the earlier discount offered due to the significant issues experienced in the first rooms. The handling of this request also felt quite rigid initially, although the pricing discussion changed once I indicated I would be leaving a review. By that point, however, I had already made alternative arrangements in another city. I also noticed a change in overall tone and attentiveness from staff following my initial complaints, particularly on the day I was trying to extend my stay. In that instance, even basic housekeeping services were not offered, which contributed to a feeling of inconsistency in service. Ultimately, I think this hotel has strong potential. The location, room design, and general setup are genuinely excellent, and there are staff members who are clearly committed and welcoming. However, the inconsistency in cleanliness standards, basic housekeeping expectations, and service delivery means I cannot recommend it as a reliably high-quality stay at this stage. With more consistent attention to cleanliness and service fundamentals, this could be an excellent hotel experience—but in its current state, it falls short of that standard.

This hotel was a hidden gem for my short trip – such a pleasant surprise! It's incredibly conveniently located near tourist attractions. The hotel itself is elegant, quiet, and peaceful. The rooms are cozy, comfortable, and impeccably clean. The bed was very comfortable, and the toiletries and storage facilities were all complete. The staff, Mango, Orange, and Apple, were warm, friendly, and efficient in processing my check-in. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I've already recommended it to my friends!

My trip to Nanjing this time was mainly for Na Ying's concert. Besides the Nanjing Museum, I skipped all the other popular attractions, dedicating my time instead to areas with a strong local vibe, like the Ming Palace Ruins Park and Xiaoxihu. For accommodation, I chose The Lalu, which is a bit out of the city center. This actually put me closer to the concert venue, but more importantly, I wanted to set aside some time for a hotel staycation. The Lalu certainly didn't disappoint. The unbeatable river view goes without saying, and strolling through the gardens was an excellent experience; taking my time, I even stumbled upon a weekend celadon ocarina performance. The Water Sha Lian Chinese restaurant was also unexpectedly good; almost every dish was impressive. By the end, I was even seriously contemplating which dishes would be suitable to pack and take back to Beijing. On the second morning at The Lalu, there was a small hiccup, but the customer service manager quickly stepped in with a solution, and the communication was very sincere. So, it didn't affect the overall experience at all. I really have to commend them for that; it actually made me trust their service capabilities even more, and I'm now planning to visit The Lalu in Qingdao for another experience.

This hotel is just two subway stops from Nanjing South Station, which is great, especially on a hot day, as you don't have to walk far to catch a ride-sharing service. It's been almost ten years since I last stayed at a Courtyard, and I feel like the facilities aren't as good as I remember. Perhaps back then, I hadn't stayed in as many good hotels. With company travel budgets tighter now, I can't stay at Marriotts, so I opted for Courtyard this time. Honestly, I don't think it's as good as some of IHG's economy brands like Voco or Holiday Inn Express. I didn't eat much breakfast, but it looked decent.

Great hostel for travellers to Nanjing! Very conveniently located near a metro stop, the Qinhuai scenic area and Laomendong both of which are lovely to wander around in at night. The hostel is extremely clean with comfortable beds and nice hang out areas. Staff are friendly and helpful and will store your luggage for you free of charge. There is a laundry machine which can be used for free, detergent is 1kuai for a small sachet. The location can be a little hard to find - it's up an elevator on the 5th floor that you can only access from Lianziying Street - look for the signs for ”Driftwood” which is the bar attached to the hostel.

Just had the most incredible stay at Nanjing Yunshuijian Parent-child Resort Hotel! As a foreigner, I was blown away by the laid back atmosphere and abundance of amenities and activities available. From water sports like boating and jetskiing to numerous campsites and restaurants, this place has it all! My personal favorite spot was the Shark Bar restaurant - the owners and staff are phenomenal! The vibe and atmosphere are unbeatable. Highly recommend checking it out if you get the chance. A huge shoutout to the hotel staff and managers for providing exceptional customer service throughout our stay. We will definitely be back for more unforgettable memories. #NanjingYunshuijian #PerfectGetaway #DreamVacation

I was very satisfied with my stay. First off, the location is a huge plus – it's right inside the Confucius Temple area, making it super convenient to get around. The room was clean and tidy, and I slept really well. Every staff member I encountered greeted me warmly, and they were always quick to answer any questions I had. Overall, it was a great experience. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Nanjing.

I had a fantastic stay at Sawmill Youth Hostel. The place was always clean, and the common areas never had any unpleasant smells. The bathrooms were spotless and dry, with no standing water. My bed was tidy, and all the bedding was brand new. The front desk staff were very friendly and patiently answered all my questions. They were quick to help with any issues. The lobby had a relaxed atmosphere, and I enjoyed participating in the games organized by the hostel in my free time. The location was convenient for getting around, and there were plenty of dining options nearby. The value for money was excellent, and the cleanliness and service far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hostel for short trips and will definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Nanjing.
