Nanjing Hotel | Weekend staycation: No expectations, only surprises

| A weekend staycation is a pleasant surprise if you don’t have any expectations. Sifang Hotel Nanjing, Autograph Collection Actually, I saw a lot of negative things about this hotel before I went there, and I was thinking about changing to another hotel, but in the end I thought it was only one night and it was not expensive, so it might as well be an experience. Location It's really remote, located in the Laoshan Scenic Area in Pukou District, Nanjing. The surrounding area can be described as desolate. I looked at the nearest takeaway and it was more than six or seven kilometers away. If you don't plan to eat at the hotel restaurant all the time when staying here, it's best to bring some snacks with you. environment It is already located in the scenic area, and the scenery is indeed very good. The hotel is located on the hillside, facing the lake, and is divided into several buildings and villas. There are shuttle buses between the buildings, and there is also the Sifang Art Museum in the park with regularly changing exhibitions. My friend and I checked in on the first snow day. We watched the snow and the sunset on the hillside and kept saying how beautiful the scenery was (except it was very cold). The hotel also raises several alpacas of its own, and it is very interesting to watch the alpacas grazing in the sun in the lobby in the morning. Rooms We booked a beggar room, but because it was a twin room, we were only upgraded to Linshui Pavilion (they said the view outside the window was better). The room is spacious, with a Chinese-style high ceiling, which is very distinctive, and is fully equipped, especially with tea sets, and the air conditioning and heating effect is excellent. My friends and I just wanted to stay in the room to enjoy the snow and drink tea without going out. Serve Not as bad as others have commented, on the contrary it is warm and thoughtful. The staff called one day in advance to inquire about the check-in time and whether there were any other needs. They also informed us that the gym, swimming pool and other facilities were in another building and that a car would be sent to pick us up when needed. The room is equipped with a power card before check-in to ensure that the room is warm when you check in. Welcome fruit plate with rich variety of fruits. When calling the front desk for mineral water the response was very quick and polite. The quality of breakfast is also good, but there are not many varieties. There aren't many customers, so it's great that we can have a buffet.
