Nanjing Drum Tower Xuanwu Lake light Residence Hotel

Location: The hotel is surrounded by plenty of restaurants, and Wuyue Plaza is just a 5-minute walk away. Facilities: I really liked the design of the ground floor lobby; there's a comfortable seating area right by the entrance. A warm cup of honey water was offered upon check-in at the front desk, which was a very thoughtful touch. I was also fortunate enough to receive a room upgrade this time. As an Atour member (which I quickly registered for), I was able to try out some Atour products on the same day and chose a shoulder and neck patch. On the downside, the bathroom and hairdryer felt a bit dated. Breakfast: The selection was extensive, featuring hot dishes (including shrimp), cold dishes, salads (served in small cups), noodles, vermicelli soup, and more. This is truly impressive for a hotel in this price range. Service: The front desk staff were consistently friendly; every time you passed by, whether coming down from your room or returning from outside, an employee would always greet you with a "Hello".

This was a surprisingly pleasant choice. As Atour's younger, more vibrant brand, it caters well to lifestyle-oriented guests. The location is excellent, making it very convenient for getting around, with plenty of fantastic dining and beverage options right nearby. The service staff are incredibly friendly and approachable, always ready to assist and treating guests like family. While the hotel usually employs robots for food delivery, during the busy Dragon Boat Festival, the staff proactively delivered meals themselves to ensure guests wouldn't have to wait too long. This thoughtful and personal service is truly commendable. My stay happily coincided with the Dragon Boat Festival and Children's Day, and the hotel had prepared many delightful surprise activities, such as Zongzi-making and ring toss games. These experiences created wonderful memories. I will definitely choose to stay here again.
