Nanjing Zifeng Greenland InterContinental Hotel Experience Review (Part 5)

🛁🛁 The huge bathroom, as expected, features a design with 【transparent glass】 lol. Thankfully, there's an electric bathroom curtain that can somewhat remedy the situation. However, the peculiar thing is that the curtain's electric switch isn't a one-touch raise/lower system; you need to 【keep pressing】 and watch it slowly descend. The curtain descends at an 【incredibly slow】 pace, and you could get a sore finger before it's even halfway down. Moreover, the switch on mine was broken on the top half, so it could only lower and not raise, making this inconvenient design comparable to the complexity of a bar counter. 🧽🧼 The bathroom's decor is relatively modern, with walls covered in white tiles that, under bright lights, make it seem like a different world compared to the dim bedroom. The square washbasin isn't very large and has a rather shallow bottom, which makes it easy to splash water out when washing. At the same time, the faucet protrudes too much, standing directly above the central drain and getting in the way. Additionally, the side-mounted tap is even more inconvenient. 🧺🧻 Two hand towels are stacked on the countertop, with two bath towels hanging on the long handle directly in front. On the left, there are two mouthwash cups turned upside down, and on the right, besides the soap, there's also a large bottle of lotion provided. The hairdryer is stored in a black leather box in a crevice on the right side of the countertop and is hard to notice. The toiletry box is even harder to find, placed on a glass shelf under the countertop (wouldn't it be more convenient to switch the positions and put the hairdryer below?), but the floor towel and non-slip mat are easily visible, stacked on a tray above the bathtub, and providing four bath towels is quite convenient. 🛀🏻🚿 The capsule-shaped bathtub isn't very large, and stains on the inside are faintly visible, indicating it hasn't been cleaned for a while. The non-smart toilet is still relatively clean, and the provided disposable toilet seat covers are handy. The shower area has neither a niche nor a countertop, only a handrail, and the large bottles of shower products can only be fixed to the wall. The efficiency of the 1-second hot water is extremely high, and the water flow is strong, but the noise of the draining water is too loud, belonging to the kind that can be annoying when showering with the door closed in a confined space. 📍📍 Summary: The pinnacle of Jinling, a landmark of Nanjing, the significance and aspiration of 【Zifeng Tower】 to the people of Nanjing need no explanation. As a five-star hotel located in the 【tallest building in Jiangsu】, 'from afar it amazes, up close it astounds, upon entering it settles, and during the stay it fades,' is my candid assessment. Setting aside its halo and judging it purely as a hotel, the oppressive environment and various anti-human details lead to a subpar stay, making it hard to describe the overall accommodation experience as 【feeling at home】. Coupled with over a decade of operation and outdated design, it struggles to attract the choice and favor of new consumers. As I said at the beginning of this series of reviews, 'If you simply equate 【Zifeng Tower】 with 【Greenland InterContinental Hotel】, take my advice and don't come.' It's always majestic to view the peak through the mist, no need for irreverent play, just admire from afar.
