Top Xuan Wu Hotel Reviews

Nanjing Central Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I have been to many countries and stayed at many hotels. Nanjing Central Hotel has to be among the best of all! The hotel is centrally located in the city, clean environment, friendly staff. The breakfast was superb, with more items than we could ask for, and the cafe was beautifully designed and constructed. The front desk staff and bell men were very helpful, with plenty of knowledge and local tips. Thank you to all at Nanjing Central Hotel!!!"

Shuguang International Hotel Nanjing

10/10 Excellent

"This is my third time staying at this hotel. Shuguang Hotel is situated next to Xuanwu Lake, offering views of Nanjing's towering skyline through the windows; the night view is quite beautiful. The hotel boasts an excellent location, just a short walk from the subway station and Nanjing Railway Station. Although the architectural style feels a bit dated, the guest rooms are spacious, bright, and comfortable, featuring clean, fresh bedding. Soundproofing is excellent, ensuring a quiet environment, though the sound of street traffic can occasionally be heard in the early morning. The buffet breakfast is delicious, offering a wide variety of dishes with a menu that changes daily. I particularly appreciate the complimentary self-service laundry facilities, which are clean and well-equipped. The lobby reception staff are well-trained, and the housekeeping team is professional and courteous; the breakfast staff and chefs are also enthusiastic, proactive, and friendly."
