Grand Metropark Nanjing

First was booked on 31st floor - Room was huge and comfortable but very dated and A/C didn't work -After one night asked them to change me - they did without hesitation - new room on the 8th was smaller but wonderful and "new" - staff is great they really try. Breakfast was good - coffee was great

Dated hotel, but recent and ongoing renovations are making a difference. Only 1 elevator was working as others were being serviced . Good location, close to museum, parks and metro. Did not eat at hotel, so cannot comment on restaurants.

The location was central to most things required whilst working in Nanjing. The view of Nanjing front hotel room stunning! Arriving after midnight the restaurants were closed however the 24/7 community store was across the road and the local street vendors had hot food ready. Service was very good despite my disadavatage of speaking no mandarin. The metro train system was 5 minutes walk away and as efficient, affordable as the best in the world including Singapore. Over 2 weeks stay hotel staff learn your daily routine and adapt their service to suit you with no interference. The restaurants in the hotel Korean, Japanese and Chinese style were very good however I was spoiled in China with the quality and affordability of local cuisine outside of hotel. Being my 3 rd stay in 2 years I encountered this before The hotels ATM was a problem out of service most of the time. Locating an ATM that accepts overseas cards in Nanjing was also a problem however hotel staff directed me to the Bank of Communications 10 minutes so I was cashed up and ready to shop, eat and explore Nanjing.

The location is great, near subway stations and tourist sites. But the hotel is very dated, with old and heavily used gym equipment and worn and dingy carpet in the room. The room itself was large and the bathroom had a separate tub and shower, which is appreciated, but not in good repair--with mold and the shower didn't drain properly. It had a king bed, but Chinese style, i.e. so firm it was like sleeping on a board. For a five star hotel with the word "international" in its Chinese name, the staff also struggle with fundamental English, even for reception, concierge, or room service, and they seemed pretty apathetic. I would recommend the Nanjing Renaissance instead.

Very good, good breakfast, will stay again if coming to Nanjing
