Perfect location: The hotel is right next to Nanjing West Metro Station (Line 2, Exit 4) and not so far from Line 13 entrance. It also locates between Wujang St and Maoming St which have a handful of cafes and food stores. Friendly staff: Eventhough the local staff cannot speak EL much but they are absolutely helpful, so don't hesitate to ask for help. Big and nice space in front of the front desk: You can enjoy your food/drink or work or study at the tables there since food/drink is prohibted to bring into bedrooms.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
