I booked Hanyuan because it is within walking distance to my folks home. And my grandma used to work at Nanjing Agricultural University, which the hotel is affiliated with. I read others’ reviews and knew it is an old facility. I did not have unrealistic expectations. We arrived late at night. Taxi driver dropped us off at the side entrance that has numerous stairs to the door. We had lots of luggage. As we got out of the cab, we saw some staff member in the lobby looking out. Instead of coming out to help us, he walked away. My husband, myself and our seven year old all carried/dragged multiple items up the stairs to get into the hotel lobby. We checked in and decided that we would need to add a bed for the kid. House keeping came quickly to set up the bed but was reluctant to provide pillows for the additional bed. I had to repeatedly ask before they agreed to bring an extra pillow. Don’t understand why there is such resistance to equip the additional bed with pillow- after all, we did pay for the additional bed. Everything else was pretty good during our first three-day-stay. We then went away to visit families elsewhere for a week before coming back to this hotel. This time, our car drove onto the ramp at the front entrance. As soon as we entered the building, lobby manager came to offer us help. He helped us deliver luggage to our room. We are very appreciative of his assistance. We ran into some issues at the front desk this time. They asked for our passports again and took our pictures for a second time. When I mentioned that we were just here a week ago and all information was taken already, we were told that all information has been erased as we checked out. When we checked in/out the first time, we informed front desk that we were making the hotel our base camp and will be coming in and out a few times. It’s strange that they would delete our information and redo everything all over again. Again we need to add a bed. House keeping brought a roller bed which has a stained mattress pad. I asked them to bring a clean one, they said they could not. They said they didn’t have any clean pads. They said the only option is to remove the pad and put the sheets directly on the mattress. They further suggested that since the sheet is clean, dirty pad doesn’t matter and that every mattress pad under bed sheets has urine stains. His words made my stomach turn but I was too tired to fight so they went ahead put sheets on top of the mattress pad that has a big yellow stain. Again I asked for pillows for the additional bed, they refused at first, upon my insistence, they agreed to bring pillows. They also took out a blanket from the cabinets under television and put it on the bed. When the seven year old was ready for bed, I opened the blanket and realized it’s cover is dirty. It’s dusty and has multiple stings of hair on it. I called house keeping, a lady quickly bought over a clean duvet cover for the blanket but refused to take away the dirty one. She insisted that we keep the dirty duvet in the closet. I did not understand her rationale but there isn’t anything I can do. So that dirty duvet cover stayed in the closet. Maybe I should not have come back to this hotel.

Kudos to the cleaning staff on the 15th floor during Chinese New Year. The front desk, which is supposed to be the hotel's face, was a letdown. We checked in at the left counter using Hong Kong IDs, and after we were done, they asked if we needed help with our luggage. We had elderly and children with us, but there wasn't a single word of greeting. Breakfast was up to four-star standards; not a huge variety, but good quality. The lounge on the 5th floor was very average. They had red and white wine, but you had to ask the staff for beer.

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.

My friends and I came here for a relaxing vacation, and it was a fantastic experience. In the mornings, I enjoyed a refreshing walk along the lake. During the day, my companions and I played ball on the sports field, passing the time pleasantly. The guest room had an excellent view, and the balcony offered a superb sightseeing experience. The mattress was just right – not too soft, not too hard – ensuring I slept very well. The evening activities organized by the G.O. were relaxed and fun, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The facilities were comprehensive, and the overall environment was quiet and elegant. Angel Raina provided professional and attentive service. It was a brief escape from daily琐碎, and I had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

Hotel Tiantian boasts an excellent location, with a subway station nearby making travel incredibly convenient. It's also a short walk to the Confucius Temple. The staff, especially the ladies, are very accommodating and always willing to help. The hotel lobby is well-maintained, with an auntie cleaning the public areas daily.

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!

Overall, a very satisfying stay, giving it five stars! The hotel's location is superb; it's just a few minutes' walk to the subway station and commercial district, making travel and shopping super convenient. Joanna's service was enthusiastic and efficient, arranging a room with a street view and a great financial manager through the bay window in advance. The hotel has facilities like a gym, and Suning Cinema is fully equipped. There are also many great food options nearby. I'd love to come back if I have the chance! [happy emoji]

Five-Day Stay in Nanjing Check-in Experience We arrived early at around 6 AM due to the difficulty of booking train tickets during the holiday season. Although check-in was at 3 PM, the staff kindly accommodated us with an early check-in for an additional fee. Accommodation We stayed in two types of rooms during our visit: Single Room - Spacious and located in a peaceful, quiet area of the property. RV Room - Situated near the camping area where families and friends gather around a large bonfire for singing, BBQ, and games. **Ratings** Staff: 8/10 - Friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Shuttle Service: 10/10 - The driver was exceptionally pleasant and always smiling. Since my daughter has asthma and walking long distances is difficult for her, we frequently requested shuttle service between locations. This was especially helpful as ride-share drivers typically drop off at the entrance, which is quite a walk from the rooms and facilities. Breakfast: 10/10 - Excellent variety of traditional Chinese dishes. They were accommodating when my husband requested takeout. Cleanliness: 10/10 - Both rooms were clean, including the beds, towels, and bathrooms. As my daughter’s asthma is triggered by dust, I was pleased that the rooms were clean enough that she didn’t experience any sneezing or symptoms. We all slept well for the entire five days. **Things to Consider** It’s highly recommended to have your own car, as the property is quite far from the city center. If you enjoy nature and outdoor activities, this place is ideal. Activities include: - ATV rides - Fishing area - Playground (note: adults are charged rather than children, so it’s more economical for only one adult to enter) - Small animal area featuring rabbits, ostriches, and llamas (15 RMB entry) - Train ride (30 RMB) The coffee shop has a wonderful atmosphere and aesthetic appeal, making it popular for photos. The property itself is spacious and perfect for leisurely walks. There’s also a temple nearby, approximately 20 minutes away by car. **Challenges We Faced** My daughter developed a fever and experienced diarrhea during our stay. When I called the front desk for help, the staff member wasn’t very accommodating and suggested my husband go buy medicine. This was difficult for us as foreigners who don’t speak the language well. I felt sad and helpless, especially when we couldn’t get any taxis or cabs to pick us up. We wanted to take her to the hospital, but no cabs were available. However, the next morning, a staff member spoke with me who was extremely kind and accommodating. They even offered to drive my daughter to the hospital, which I declined because we needed to catch our train and she was feeling better after taking medicine. They drove us to the South Railway Station and thoughtfully gave my daughter bags and drinks. It was a very kind gesture that we truly appreciated.
