I'd say it's the best place for you to start your trip in China! The host really welcomes you and provides all the things that you need. The room and surroundings are clean and comfy. It's only a walk away to the metro station so it's very convenient. I would love to stay back again on my next trip to Nanjing! 🌹
Response from Property: We truly appreciate your wonderful feedback! Our team will continue to dedicate ourselves to offering impeccable cleanliness and thoughtful service at our homestay. It's our joy to create a warm, welcoming retreat for every guest who visits our bookstore. Nanjing will always be here to welcome you back!

I booked the hotel for my friends who went to travel China, Nanjing. This homestay was recommended by my British friends as it has close transportation links and the Confucius temple is nearby. The surrounding area is nice and peaceful.   My friends fell in love with Nanjing. If i ever go to Nanjing i would sure stay at this homestay.
Response from Property: I am truly delighted to welcome such distinguished guests. It is my great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to our British friends to Nanjing, the illustrious ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.👏

Location is very good, very near of the Confucius Temple Old town also only one block from metro line 3 connects with Nanjing and Nanjing South train station, the rooms are clean, the staff are friendly , there are many restaurants even fast western food around the hotel also convenience stores , the rooms have children’s story books but there are not televisions but actually you don’t need it because you will spend most of the time outside , wifi is free and good.
Response from Property: Thank you for your evaluation and welcome to Nanjing again。🌹🌹❤❤

Honestly, the host and aunt were very friendly and welcoming. However, the environment was truly unappealing. This might have been my first time staying in a B&B, so I'm not sure if all B&Bs are like this. The room facilities were incredibly dated, especially the bathroom. The toilet lid was about to fall off, the showerhead was leaking water everywhere, and the sink was incredibly small and completely unplugged. My earring accidentally fell off while I was washing my face, and it just gushed down. The drain hose was easily removed and plugged right in. The floor was also unclean; it seemed like they only changed the trash bag daily, and I had to wipe the floor with my disposable face towel every day. Living in a room with such a dirty floor was unbearable. Honestly, I'm sharing my experience. Personality is different, but my whole family wasn't very satisfied. Those who appreciate cleanliness should choose carefully.

Response from Property: Thank you very much for choosing to stay at our homestay and taking the time to review and take photos. First, the maid didn't just "seemingly" change the trash bags every day; she also provided four bottles of water and supplies, and mopped the floor. Secondly, many of the issues you mentioned, as shown in the pictures, are simply due to the old flooring (the area 100 meters from Confucius Temple is mostly old apartments), resulting in visible defects. They have nothing to do with poor hygiene. There was no paper, hair, or other dirt, except for small dust particles (after all, you stayed for three nights, so a few dust particles are normal in the room). We have also made the following changes: 1. Facility Inspection and Update: Regarding the issues you mentioned with the toilet seat and shower head, we have arranged for a technician to come and reinforce and replace them tomorrow. We have also recently replaced the washbasin. Sink Drains and Filters: We have thoroughly checked all sink drain connections to ensure they are secure. We have also installed a filter in Room 303's sink to prevent similar small items from falling. We'll have our housekeeper come tomorrow to clean the minor stains on the walls (a minor issue due to the recent surge in summer guests). We'll do a thorough and quick clean. Regarding the old flooring, we'll be completely re-laying the flooring and carpeting soon. 2. Improving Cleaning Standards: Thank you very much for your positive feedback on the maid's service! The maid does perform daily cleaning duties, including trash removal, bed making, surface wiping, and mopping, during guests' stays. We will continue to improve this routine. Thank you for your visit.

It was a very satisfying stay. The courtyard is close to the Confucius Temple scenic area and the subway, and it is quiet in the bustling city. They also solved our parking problem. The uncles and aunts in the courtyard were very friendly. There were picture books in the room, and the children read a few of them. There is a lawn swing in the courtyard. It was a good experience. I will go there again next time I have the chance.

The location is very good, very close to the subway station and Confucius Temple. The surrounding environment is also very good. The cleaning lady is also very enthusiastic. It is also suitable for holidays. I will definitely stay again next time I come.

The B&B is located right in Confucius Temple. After dinner, it's a convenient walk to the temple. Because they were out of rooms, we stayed in a room with a shared bathroom. The room was quite large, and for two adults and two children, it wasn't crowded at all. The alarm clock was on and the location was quiet. It's also close to the subway, making it convenient for everything.

The location is easy to find, close to the subway station and convenient for everything. Just across the street is the pedestrian street. The accommodation is quite good, quiet in a busy area, and there's parking available. The service is excellent!

The overall service attitude is good, and it feels like home. There is also a mobile phone charger in the room, which is really practical. The introduction of surrounding food is careful, and the travel guide is also intimately informed, which is very helpful for travel.

It's 2 minutes away from the subway station. Just across the road is the Confucius Temple. There are many picture books, suitable for bringing children, a good choice for parent-child travel [strong]

Amazing
Posted on Jul 2, 2025
The location is very good, the subway and Confucius Temple are only a few minutes' walk away. Going to Confucius Temple in the early morning is quiet and leisurely, which is completely different from the crowded night. There are many shops and restaurants nearby, and it is very convenient to eat and buy fruits. The owner lives downstairs, and the second and third floors are guest rooms. Washing machines and dryers are free to use, and there is also a place to hang clothes. The owner is talkative and enthusiastic, busy inside and outside, tidying up the environment, and the sanitary conditions are very good. Towels have been disinfected. It is like living in a good friend's house. You can often see the owner when you go in and out, but you have absolute privacy and provide you with a clean and quiet accommodation environment.

First of all, the transportation is convenient. Exit 3 of the Confucius Temple subway station. There is a small road next to the Confucius Temple Primary School. You can see the sign of the homestay at the intersection. The Confucius Temple Scenic Area & Laomendong are around the homestay, so you can go for a walk and eat. The intersection of Jiankang Road and the Old Palace is the Shuiyoucheng Commercial Plaza opposite the Confucius Temple Road, where you can also eat and drink. Entering the homestay feels like a kindergarten renovation, which is very attractive to kids. The administrators here are very friendly. When they meet, they add WeChat to recommend nearby food and attractions. The room is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. The uncles and aunts will take the initiative to help carry the luggage upstairs. The room looks very warm, and there are bookshelves with many children's books on them. The air conditioner was turned on before we arrived, so it was very comfortable to enter the room. During the day, you can hear the bells of the elementary school next door and the sound of battery cars and people coming and going on the trail. It is still relatively quiet at night. Families with children in Nanjing can stay here. For breakfast, choose this building near the subway exit. There are KFC, Xiao Yang Sheng Jian, and Jin Tong Ji Muslim Restaurant (you can eat beef fried dumplings, red bean paste dumplings, beef noodles, and the waiters are also very friendly)
