Top Gulou Hotel Reviews

Jinling Hotel Nanjing

8/10 Good

"The building is too old. Better add direction on subway exit for first time customers "

The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing

8/10 Good

"My stay at the Ritz Carlton Nanjing was very nice. The staff was friendly and the amenities were nice. There was some wear and tear in my hotel suite which was kinda surprising to me. I would think they would replace or fix the furniture in the rooms that were worn. My room was nicely decorated for my birthday with a small cake and rose petals. There was also a nicely written card. The food and drinks in the Executive Lounge were deliciously. Especially the lamb chops that were freshly prepared. My main disappointment was not being able to have breakfast in the main dining area due to it being full and I had to go have breakfast in the Executive Lounge where the breakfast items are very limited. "

Sofitel Nanjing Galaxy Suning

6/10 Okay

"Well the hotel was nice but uncontrolled people who smoke in the buyeven there’s no smoking everywhere. Elevator not enough to handle the crowd. I was there when there was a party at the restaurant elevator too small and couldn’t accommodate so many people. And people were smoking everywhere. Not a smoke free place"
