Hotels in Confucius Temple/Qinhuai River Scenic Area, Nanjing

We capped off our summer vacation, which coincided with the 80th anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War victory, with a visit to Nanjing right before the holidays wrapped up. We stayed at a hotel that's quite the influencer hotspot, and the check-in experience was fantastic. My son was absolutely delighted with the Ultraman-themed room. Steven was exceptionally detailed and helpful in his communication and coordination. The check-out arrangements were also very accommodating and flexible, ensuring a completely hassle-free stay.

The hotel is incredibly close to the subway station, just a 100-meter walk to the right from its entrance. It's situated right at the entrance of Fuzi Temple, which makes the area very lively. After a busy evening exploring, you can easily head straight back to the hotel to unwind. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and the beef potstickers across the street are absolutely delicious! The front desk staff were wonderful – very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and well-maintained. I stayed for two nights and was very satisfied.

The hotel staff were excellent; they kindly upgraded us to a king-size room. Despite being in a busy downtown area, it was surprisingly quiet, and we slept very soundly. The bedding was extremely comfortable. We would definitely choose to stay here again next time. The hotel is right next to Qinhuai River, just steps from the entrance. There are many dining options nearby, and we enjoyed local delicacies like crab roe noodles, BBQ, duck blood vermicelli soup, and soup dumplings.

We booked a family suite, and both rooms were incredibly spacious! There was a minor issue with the lock on one of the internal doors, which made it a bit tricky to open once closed. However, it was still very convenient for traveling with both elderly family members and children. The location is superb! It's incredibly easy to reach Fuzi Miao, and the duck blood vermicelli soup available downstairs is absolutely delicious! I didn't take any photos of the room, but despite the hotel's proximity to a main road and Fuzi Miao, it was surprisingly quiet at night. We had a wonderful rest, and this hotel offers excellent value for money! We'll definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit!

The front desk and housekeeping staff were absolutely fantastic. They upgraded us to a balcony room, and stepping out, we could immediately see the Qinhuai River flowing below. It rained almost all weekend, but the hotel was incredibly thoughtful and proactive, communicating our package details in advance and reminding us about the weather. The breakfast selection wasn't huge but definitely plentiful. The freshly made duck blood vermicelli and mini wontons were delicious, and our child particularly enjoyed the chocolate cereal with milk. The dinner set menu we ordered had a great variety of dishes and generous portions, offering excellent value for money. The hotel rooms were clean, and the location was superb. It's super convenient to walk to Fuzimiao (Confucius Temple) and Laomendong, making it perfect for a city stroll, rain or shine. The cultural and creative products at the Imperial Examination Museum were very imaginative and aesthetically pleasing – truly impressive! Friendly tip: The area opposite the hotel is a paradise for kids, so families traveling with children should definitely be prepared!

Kuandu Hotel has a perfect location, just a few steps from the bustling, Laomendong, but in a quiet alley so you can enjoy the lively old street and relax at the hotel. There are two gorgeous and friendly cats in the hotel. The building is very pretty and the interior is nicely decorated. However, there were some issues with the hygiene in our room, the shower drain was draining extremely slowly almost to the point of overflowing, and there was an unpleasant smell coming from the shower and the AC. Overall I would recommend it for a short stay due to the location and the cats, but some things could be improved to become a fantastic place.

A very nice hotel in the old town of Nanjing with friendly and helpful staff. The room was bright, clean, and equipped with everything you could need. Breakfast was served outside the hotel at a restaurant directly across the street. Guests could choose their own breakfast selection. It's recommended to experience the quiet atmosphere in the streets around the hotel early in the morning. It gets very busy during the day.

The young lady at the front desk was incredibly sweet and welcoming. The hotel's location is fantastic, very close to both the subway station and Fuzimiao (Confucius Temple). There are plenty of shopping options nearby. It's particularly recommended for young fans who enjoy buying 'merch' (collectibles) at Shuiyoucheng mall. Ideal for families with children and elderly members who enjoy exploring at a relaxed pace.

## Room The beds are spacious. It's a significant advantage to find twin rooms in Nanjing with individual beds measuring 1.35 meters wide. The room also features a balcony, although it was too hot to use during the summer. ## Transportation The hotel is only about a 500-meter walk from the nearest metro station, and there are plenty of bus stops right outside. ## Location It's conveniently located right at the entrance of the Confucius Temple scenic area. Many other attractions, such as Zhan Garden, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Museum, Jiming Temple, and the Qinhuai River, are all within easy walking distance. ## Dining A large shopping mall, just 300 meters away, offers a wide variety of dining and entertainment options at affordable prices.

Confucius Temple is extremely boring, there is not a single delicious food here, and there is really no need to come here, but... if you come, I sincerely suggest you choose this hotel. It is the only place in the Confucius Temple scenic area that makes me feel comfortable. Due to traffic control, the Didi car cannot enter, and I have to carry heavy luggage for more than 10 minutes to reach the hotel. It is raining and cold. After arriving at the hotel, I saw that the hotel is clean and tidy, the staff is warm and considerate, and took the initiative to carry the luggage to the room and turn on the room heating to the maximum. The welcome fruit and sweet soup prepared by the hotel are just the right details. When leaving the hotel, the staff is super enthusiastic to serve, inform the travel route, provide snacks and water, and really make you feel at home! This is how I feel!
