Na Lotus Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nanning

The butler service was excellent, very responsive to all our requests, and patiently explained everything. The environment and hygiene were also very good. Even though the hotel is a bit old, I feel it's very well-maintained.

After much deliberation, I chose Longguang Nalian, and it turned out to be an absolutely correct decision. The front desk being on the 80th floor is a very unique design, and the staff thoughtfully upgraded my room. When I requested a late check-out, they were also very helpful in coordinating it. The breakfast was plentiful, and the views from both the restaurant and the pool were excellent. All in all, it was a very satisfying stay.

It seems that only Shangri-La and Longguang Nalun in Nanning offer 270-degree view rooms, but I prefer Marriott, so I chose Nalun. The parking lot has 5 floors. Since I rented an SUV with a height of 1.9 meters, and B2 and B3 are mostly mechanical parking spaces where it wouldn't fit, I drove to B4 and B5. To get from the parking lot to the hotel lobby, you need to change elevators once, and then another elevator from the lobby to the room. This is typical for super high-rise hotels, usually requiring two changes, but the elevators are fast enough, so you don't wait long. Since the hotel opened in 2019, the overall maintenance is still quite good. However, the in-room facilities show their age and look a bit old-fashioned. Most of the furniture is wooden, and I personally prefer a minimalist style, but there's not much that can be done about that. The bathroom in the 270-degree view room is very large with a double vanity, but the bedroom area is a bit small. Also, this room doesn't have a sofa, so after a day of sightseeing, you can only sit on the bed, which is a bit inconvenient. The hotel breakfast is decent, with different dishes each day and some 'hidden' menu items. The only issues were that the bathroom outlets were too loose, making it impossible to plug in a hairdryer, and the bedside outlets were too far from the bed, which was inconvenient for charging and using my phone. Other than that, everything else was pretty good. This was my first stop in Guangxi, and I'll try a suite at Nalun next time.

The rooftop pool was perfect for photos, and the hotel breakfast was diverse. It was my first time in Guangxi trying 'lao you fen' and 'luo si fen' that wasn't stinky but very fresh. The surrounding amenities are also excellent, with Qingxiu Mountain and the museum not far away.

The hotel is in a prime location, the breakfast spread is quite good, and the pool is excellent with great views. For a hotel pool, it's deep and long enough, and there's a sauna too – a swim followed by a sauna is just perfect. The only downside is parking, which was a bit of a hassle; it took us a while to find it. Then, after parking on the ground floor, check-in is on the 80th floor, and after that, you have to take another elevator to customer service. It was annoying to have to switch elevators three times.

The hotel's location is excellent, making dining and shopping very convenient. Being on a higher floor, the views are fantastic. The room was clean and the bedding was very comfortable. Breakfast was also plentiful. Definitely worth staying here.

I stayed on the 73rd floor this time. The hotel was great and gave me a free room upgrade. The bedding was very comfortable. Also, the hotel was very thoughtful when I checked out. I forgot my facial cleanser, and after housekeeping checked the room, they immediately contacted me. The concierge then reached out to me on WeChat and promptly mailed it to me. Thumbs up!👍

The room was incredibly spacious and well-equipped, with a thoughtful layout. The high floor offered fantastic views that both adults and children thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel service was also very attentive. Overall, it was a great stay, and I highly recommend it!
