Mercure Hotel (Nanjing Xinjiekou Bojin)

Perfect service Helpful front desk Room is clean and well maintained as well. Will come again!

Excellent 👍

I hardly do reviews but i hope to share my views so that the hotel can improve. We arrived at the hotel about 9pm and the street was quite quiet as hotel is in CBD, not touristy downtown area. Had to lug our luggage in the dimly lited street, about 800m from Xinjiekou metro. Most shops were closed. Hotel is located at the end of a quiet street. We had to walk out 20-30mins to find a eatery. Hotel room though modern is not so practical. Shower and toilet have separate cubicles. Shower cubicle has no clothe line, not helpful. There is no place to put my bath toiletries as i prefer to use my own nor to hang fresh clothes to change into. Also, it is too wet to change inthe cubicle and the only way is to exit the cubicle to put on fresh clothes :'( Lightings in the room are too glaring to the eye,such as ceiling reading light cast on top of my head when i rest on the bed, is too sharp. The clothe rack (open concept with no cupboard doors) has a big rectangular light panel which is too glaring and it is besude our bed and cannot be turned off unless the master light control is switched off. The bar conter light panel is also very glaring and is in front of the bed so it cannot be turned on as a side light if your partner wants to sleep. The round shaped lamp is alright but it cannot be turned on and off independenrly and is linked to master control switch so I cannot turn on any side light/lamp without disturbing my partner's sleep. Had a very frustrating time with the lightings. In the end, the corridir lighting was used as my reading light :,( The room is also very stuffy and hot, opening the windows could not help. Hotel informed us that they would only switch on the air conditioning for air ventilation not cold air. We requested for a cooler fan but not enough, sweating, could not sleep, had to request for a 2nd fan. Pillows were too thin and soft. We had a bad night and did not sleep well. Would not recommend the hotel nor return again. The next day, we moved to a another hotel(*A....) and it is located at Confucius Temple area, 100m away from the Fuzimiao Metro Station. Fantastic lightings, adequately bright soft lightings yet can be separately controlled, bath and toilet are connected, clothe line, better pillows and SUPERB powerful cold air-conditioning. Plenty of eating places and sight-seeing. We are much happier after moving to
