Jinling Mansion Nanjing

It's very close (5 min walking distance) to the Mochouhu Subway station, there was breakfast buffet (Chinese) with a reasonable choice of dishes. Everything in the room, though dated, seemed very clean and price competitive.

Nobody at the reception spoke any other language but Chinese. The form they want you to fill out is strange and detailed - here it would be helpful if someone could explain in English what info they wanted. In the front of the hotel there is no sign whatsoever saying 'hotel', 'motel' or anything recognizable in pinyan so I walked passed by it the first time, the lobby looks like a badly lit office building. The instructions on their website not too clear either.

Good location for subway and bus.

When I booked the room, it indicated that it is no-smoking room/facility but the smoking smells every where. I stayed 4 days, the noise of fixing the elevator started at 8 am for last three days. The room phone didn’t work. The bathroom is old and looked dirty.

Charged rmb 30 for the breakfast. Quite average. Bed too soft.

efficient staff
