Find 2-Star Hotels in Nanjing

This hostel is absolutely fantastic! It's an all-girls hostel, and there's a police station right downstairs, so safety is definitely not an issue. The environment is great too. The showers and restrooms are very clean. I honestly thought with so many people, the cleanliness might not be up to par, but I was pleasantly surprised by how spotless it was! Plus, the sheets and duvet covers are given to you brand new upon check-in, so you can put them on yourself. I've stayed twice, once in a private room and once in a four-bed dorm, and both were very comfortable. The four-bed dorm has bunk beds with privacy curtains (which are excellent for blocking light), a small table, and a little lamp. Even though it's a shared room, once you pull the curtain, you have your own cozy space. Everyone was also really considerate, keeping quiet when it was late. The common areas were peaceful too, with everyone quietly doing their own thing. It felt so nice and safe being surrounded by other girls! The lady at the front desk was also very kind and enthusiastic, and she even recommended some great Nanjing food. Honestly, it felt cleaner and more comfortable than some hotels I've stayed in, and being around more people made me feel very secure. I'll definitely be back!

This summer, I took my daughter to stay at the Dream Castle parent-child room at Yunxi Yasu, and choosing this accommodation for our Nanjing family trip really saved us a lot of hassle. The guesthouse's location is super convenient, making it easy to get to Hongshan Zoo, Xuanwu Lake, and Maya Water Park without long commutes, which is a big plus when traveling with kids. The room has just the right touch of childlike charm, with pink bow pillows, dessert-themed artwork, and a gentle, cute vibe. It even comes with a DIY dessert station, a complete set of children's makeup toys, and various plush dolls. My daughter was completely immersed the moment we walked in, playing quietly all afternoon. Downstairs, there are plenty of dining options; my daughter was thrilled to find Cha Yan Yue Se (a popular tea shop), and local specialties like Jiming soup dumplings and duck blood vermicelli soup are just downstairs. The overall setup is clean and thoughtful, perfectly catering to a little girl's preferences. It's highly recommended for families with young daughters who want both convenience and comfort on their travels.

I was asked by the hotel to leave a five-star review, but unfortunately I can’t do so in good conscience. There are genuinely strong positives to this property. The location is excellent—while it’s a bit removed from the city centre, it’s surrounded by fantastic restaurants, convenience stores, and a lovely nearby park. The area is quiet and peaceful, and although there is some construction in the vicinity, that’s understandable given the ongoing development. The rooms themselves are also very well designed: spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything you might need, including thoughtful amenities like a washing machine. The layout and overall setup are great. The staff, for the most part, have also been kind, responsive, and helpful. One staff member in particular was consistently warm and welcoming, always greeting me with a smile. The team handled my complaints with professionalism, offered solutions, and even extended a discount for a future stay, which I genuinely appreciate. However, the major issue—and the reason I cannot rate this hotel highly—is the cleanliness. Upon arrival, I was initially placed in a room that had clearly not been properly cleaned. There was visible dust throughout, hair and toenail clippings around the bed, and most shockingly, a used condom left on the windowsill. This is completely unacceptable and raises serious concerns about hygiene standards and room preparation. After raising this with the staff, I was moved to another room. While I appreciated the effort to resolve the issue, I had specifically requested that the new room be thoroughly cleaned. Unfortunately, many of the same problems persisted: dust was still present, dirt was visible under the bed, and the glassware was not properly cleaned—one glass even had lipstick stains on it. These are basic cleanliness standards that should be met without exception. It takes a lot for me to complain, and I consider myself a very easygoing guest. For me to request a room change speaks volumes about how serious these issues were. This hotel has a lot of potential. With its location, amenities, and generally helpful staff, it could easily be a fantastic place to stay. However, until the housekeeping standards are significantly improved and consistently maintained, I cannot recommend it as a high-quality option. I do hope the management takes this feedback seriously and addresses these concerns, because with proper attention to cleanliness, this could truly be a five-star experience.

I felt so good after checking in. This hotel has excellent facilities, with strong Wi-Fi throughout and the central AC set at a perfect temperature. The room was spotless, and the bathroom had a great dry/wet separation. The front desk staff were warm and efficient. The location is right at the entrance of the ancient Qinhuai River area, with Fuzimiao Temple and the Qinhuai River just a short walk away. Laomendong and Kexiang are also very close. I genuinely recommend it!

Reserved Family room for 4 Adults with 1 super king bed and 1 super single. If need to save money, great choice but for comfort, suitable for 3 adults. Room equipped with air-conditioning, wall TV, hair dryer, kettle, glass, coffee and tea, bottled drinking water, towel, slipper, phone, table with table lamp, blackout curtain, all toiletries such as shampoo, bath gel, tissue roll and toothbrush + toothpaste + toothbrush. Hotel equipped with free washer and dryer, handheld steamer, 24h self drinking water, lollipop, and breakfast with CNY25. Staff very friendly and attentive. Check in with passport and smooth. Initially reserved for 5 nights, but check out 1 night early (7.30pm), receptionist offered to modify the check out date via trip.com for refund a night. Quite surprised still can have refund a night from trip.com (take 7-14 days) even after usual check out time 12pm. Location wise faced to the main busy crossroads. Full of cars and a lot of electric motorcycles. Convenient with nearby food choices, Mcd, supper, convenient store and shopping malls. But not so convinence for ehailling car drop off or pick up as no waiting lobby available. Only available drop by next to main road (near traffic lights and zebra cross) with a lot of pass by electric motorcycle which found dangerous. Hotel is located at level 5 in the Old Fashion Building. There's few steps up to stairs then lift Lobby available inside the old style mall. Unfortunately, just 2 days before check out, the lift malfunction, so we need to climb up to 6th floor to use another lift to go down to first floor. During check out, we request for help to carry luggages to 6th floor, really appreciate their actions to help. Recommend their service and amenities. Location wise nothing can be change. Hopefully will improve in future.

Choosing Sawmill was absolutely the right decision! It's a standalone building, with separate floors for men and women, and you need a key card to access them. The staff at the front desk were very patient during check-in and explained everything. You can get laundry detergent and earplugs from the reception. They also offer luggage storage, and the lockers are free for up to 8 hours. The beds have privacy curtains, so you can create your own little space. The bathrooms are equipped with hair dryers, and they even thoughtfully remind you of the usage times so as not to disturb others late at night. The common area on the second floor is great for working, and you can occasionally look out at the big trees outside the window to relax. Overall, it's excellent. I'll definitely choose Sawmill again on my next visit!

The hotel is super convenient for transportation, it's only about a five or six-minute walk to the subway station, which is incredibly friendly for tourists! I arrived quite early because I was on an early train, and the front desk staff proactively helped me with my luggage. Their service attitude was excellent, and they even arranged for me to check in early! The price is economical and affordable, and the environment is very clean. It's incredibly good value for money!

This hotel is generally very good. The only slight drawback is that there are not enough supporting businesses around it. But this also shows from another perspective that it is relatively quiet here and suitable for accommodation.

The front desk lady was very kind and gentle. The facilities were complete and very clean. The location is also very close to Fuzhou Bridge subway station, and many attractions are on Line 3, making travel convenient. I'm very satisfied with this experience! 🤩

My wife and I are trying our best to have children but it has been very challenging. We needed a place close the hospital and decided to try Qingmu hotel because it was conveniently located and looked comfortable from the outside and had mostly positive reviews on trip.com. As a foreigner who speaks very little mandarin I was concerned about communication with the hotel staff. But I was pleasantly surprised with how efficiently they handled this problem. We were able to chat with help of WeChat and google translate. They also knew more English than I thought they would. Soon we were very friendly and found a productive way to communicate my needs and get the best room possible. They also helped with our travel bags and provided water and a snack. I felt very happy and comfortable with their services and they made this feel like a home more than a hotel stay. The room was very inviting and smelled freshly cleaned. The bed was very comfortable and my wife has had back pain but said that the bed was perfect for her. It was nice that they were able to store our medication in a temperature controlled fridge while we continued to work towards conception. We had a wonderful view of the city and the bathroom had essentials to aid in freshening up between sessions. The shower had hot water and a removable head and could fit two people. We had access to a microwave oven to warm our lunch and a laundry center to catch up on our travel clothing cleaning needs. The hotel is located close to the subway and is surrounded by many restaurants and other forms of entertainment. Staying here during the Chinese New Year you could feel the festivities all around you, with brightly colored decorations and music. The hotel was also pleasantly decorated with flowers in our rooms as well as in the lobby. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great stay, for an even better price, my wife and I will definitely return here. I attached some photos of my stay below.
