Novotel Nanjing Central Suning

The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to the big malls, JLC. Deji Mall, New Buy Mall, etc. It's also convenient situated by the metro stop, Xinjiekou. The gym on the third floor was great, used it once during the trip! Room was clean and tidy, just wish it was a little bit bigger.

Summary Good location, but noise from the traffic and warm rooms gives it a 👎 Location Street food, bubble teas on the left, large shopping mall diagonally across the hotel with plenty of food options. Luckin coffee is right across the hotel (there is a cafe next to the reception - check out the price!) Room The room with queen sized bed is ideal for 1 person , but found it slightly small for 2 adults and 2 luggages Stayed for 2 nights but had issues with the air con. I can read Chinese , adjusted the thermostat to 17deg, cool , at both manual and automatic settings but they remained a constant 23-24deg which was quite warm for us. Noise The cars in Nanjing will honk the entire day (and I mean it) , it's very different from Shanghai. Front of the hotel is a 1 way street and cars are always honking from day to late night as there will always be someone who decides to stop their vehicle... , so if you have a room facing the road like we did (and we were on one if the highest level), that might be a deal breaker Gym Well equipped. Don't think it belongs to the hotel and it's unmanned at the reception. Anyone from the public can take a lift up and enter . I hope th e hotel considers installing a card scanner, only allowing guests to enter. Breakfast Large variety but serving local style breakfast. So if you are after bacon, scrambled eggs etc..this is not for you .

The Location is good, walking distance to the popular shopping mall and local restaurants. The rooms are slightly small and old, but overall the rooms are clean and equipped with all the stuff that you need.
