I chose to stay at the Ascott Nanjing for my trip to Nanjing this time, and overall, it was pretty good. Let me break down the pros and cons for other friends.
**Pros:** The location is excellent. From Nanjing South Railway Station, you can take Line 1 directly to Xinmofan Road Metro Station. Then, just follow the signs, and you'll quickly find the hotel elevator – super convenient! (It's also very easy to get to major attractions from here later on.)
The room was spacious. We booked a twin room, and the in-room amenities met our needs, especially the washer-dryer combo. There were also welcome drinks and biscuits.
As for service, all the staff were polite and enthusiastic. The housekeeping auntie was especially thoughtful; she provided plenty of bottled water in the room, which was a heartwarming detail given how hot Nanjing has been these past few days.
Now, for areas that could be improved: the bathroom in the room was tiny, the smallest I've encountered in an Ascott property.
The twin room didn't come with complimentary coffee sachets, only tea bags. When I asked the front desk, they said it was hotel policy. I really don't understand the logic behind this rule, as Ascott properties in Chengdu, Shanghai, and Shaoxing all provide coffee sachets in their twin rooms. I ended up having to order coffee via delivery. So, a heads-up to coffee lovers: be cautious about booking a twin room. There's a coffee machine in the hotel lobby where you can get free black coffee, but those who like milk and sugar will be disappointed again.
The hotel breakfast was pretty standard. Overall, it's still good. After all, Ascott has always been my top choice for travel, and I hope the hotel continues to improve.
