2-Sterne-Hotels in Jiangsu, China

Das Hotel ist hervorragend gelegen. Die Ausstattung ist einfach, aber sehr angenehm. Das Hotelpersonal ist überaus freundlich. Es liegt direkt am Flussufer und verfügt über eine Terrasse. Der Besitzer holte mich vom Parkplatz ab und fuhr uns mit unserem Gepäck zum Hotel. Dasselbe tat er auch für die Rückfahrt. Das ist ein echter Pluspunkt, besonders angesichts des Kopfsteinpflasters, das mit Gepäck recht mühsam sein kann. Rufen Sie ihn ruhig an, wenn Sie ankommen.

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.

Die Umgebung ist wirklich toll, besonders die Lage. Es ist sehr nah am Konfuzius-Tempel, direkt neben dem großen Fuzi Miao Markt. Von hier aus kommt man super zum Laomendong, dem Qinhuai-Flussgebiet um den Konfuzius-Tempel, zur Jiangnan Gongyuan oder zum Bailuzhou Park. Mit dem Fahrrad ist man überall in etwa 10 Minuten. Die Atmosphäre hier ist auch sehr angenehm, es gibt viele Gemeinschaftsbereiche (mit Lademöglichkeiten). Die Zimmer habe ich nicht fotografiert, hauptsächlich die Gemeinschaftsbereiche. Es gibt sogar einen speziellen Trockenbereich. Außerdem gibt es einen Aufzug sowie Gemeinschaftsduschen und Toiletten.

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

Früher war es Green Hotéis Hotel, es sollte ein anderer Chef sein, die Infrastruktur hat sich nicht verändert. Insgesamt ist es gut, der Preis ist hoch. Es gibt Frühstück, 10 Yuan pro Person, aber weniger Sorten. In der Nähe ist die Fußgängerstraße, sehr warm.

Overall, an okay hotel to stay in for a night or two as the location is relatively convenient yet quiet, the beds are comfortable (some hotels in China have rock-hard beds and pillows, not everyone likes that!), and the price isn’t super high. However, there are better hotels for a similar price if you look for them. My main issues were the bathroom, and a discrepancy between the room I booked based on the Trip pictures, and the room I was actually given. Pros: Service: The hotel staff (both front desk and housekeeping) were really friendly and helpful, and were proactive asking other guests to be quiet during quiet hours at night. The room itself was quite clean. Facilities: The bed was really comfortable, and the room seemed well-kept and renovated within the last few years. Location: Close-ish to a metro station (although the sidewalks in Nanjing are impossible with large suitcases, it is walkable if you don’t have too much luggage), and the area was not too noisy at night. Cons: Service: I booked the ‘Deluxe King Outer Window’ room, but the room in the pictures when you book is not what you will get. I was instead put in the smaller, cheaper ‘Comfortable Big Bedroom’, despite paying more for the other room type. I was even given a ‘free upgrade’ to the ‘Deluxe King Outer Window’ room on my first night, and then asked to move to the smaller room type after one night! The difference is tiny if you only stay a night or two, but I needed to be in Nanjing for 12 nights so it added up to a big cost difference. The hotel should use accurate pictures when booking, because I felt a bit deceived, and the size difference between the rooms was noticeable. Another review says the same happened to them, so either the hotel has a habit of upcharging, or they have misleading pictures and need to make them accurate so everyone is on the same page. I didn’t say anything at the time as it was hard for me to move rooms, but I should have asked them to clarify. Facilities: The linens (towels, sheets etc.) had some small rips in them, and the towels were quite small. The bathroom was not very clean (e.g. the metal parts of the shower, the toilet). I knew this already, but it is a wetroom, and I always forget how bad they are to use. The entire bathroom gets soaked easily even if you’re trying to be careful, which put me off showering. The drains smelt incredibly bad, and the only way to stop the smell was to run the shower for a few minutes, and after a few minutes of no water they would stink again. It is a common problem in China, but this one was worse than some. Again, it put me off using the bathroom at all, and could probably be fixed easily by installing drain covers or traps.

The guesthouse is placed in the middle of Suzhou ancient city, in a picturesque and silent street. The house is very beautiful, the furniture are elegant, there is also a smart toilet and disposable items. Unfortunately there were not bath towels but paper ones. There was no front desk at all, even if specified in the property description. We arrived at 13 (frontdesk time 8-19) but nobody was there and we didn't receive anything on the trip.com chat. When we called the property, they answered us only in Chinese and then sent us a weChat Qr code. They wrote us only in Chinese even if we were texting them in English. Fortunately weChat has a translation service, otherwise it would have been impossible for us to understand what to do. They gave then information about how to reach the property (even if we were already there) and gave us an access code that we were not able to use, since we didn't know the most important thing: the room number. Furthermore the access code changed anytime we go out (they said it's a problem related to non-chinese people) and was quite annoying to write them all the time on we chat. The room is very good though!

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.

Ausstattung: Es gab ausreichend Toiletten und Duschen; ich musste während meines zweitägigen Aufenthalts nirgends anstehen. Haartrockner waren ebenfalls vorhanden. Sauberkeit: Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber, und die Badezimmer wurden regelmäßig von einer Reinigungskraft gesäubert. Umgebung: Die Lage ist hervorragend, nur fünf Gehminuten von der U-Bahn-Station entfernt, und Essen zum Mitnehmen zu bestellen ist sehr bequem. Die Anlage ist gut durchdacht, mit separaten Ruhe- und Entspannungsbereichen, die sich nicht gegenseitig stören. Die Zimmer waren ruhig, und die Gemeinschaftsräume waren gemütlich! Service: Die Rezeptionisten waren super nett! Sie halfen mir sogar mit meinem Gepäck, als sie mich zu meinem Zimmer brachten! Sie reagierten sehr schnell! Kostenloses Obst wurde in den Gemeinschaftsräumen regelmäßig aufgefüllt. Ich bin von diesem Hotel begeistert! Ich werde auf jeden Fall wieder hier übernachten!
