Nanjing Shuguang International Hotel

Very convenient location, directly adjacent to Nanjing Railway Station and with metro access to the city's South Station for CRH services to/from Beijing and other cities. Bedroom large and very comfortable. Housekeeping very efficient.

Restocking of items at breakfast was poor with several choices unavailable at times. Even butter was unobtainable one morning and the staff refused to replenish it until a fuss was made.

Breakfast was good value with lots of healthy options. More like a dinner. Good fried egg service and noodles in broth service. Nice to have the little eggy Portuguese tarts. We paid for breakfast on a casual basis, which I like to do as no matter how good hotel breakfasts are I get bored with them because they are not my at home style. So that I chose to have this hotel breakfast more than once is high praise. Hotel location beside bus terminal would have been good if one was bold enough to use the buses, but because we were not it actually made it a poor location because it was dirty traffic busy neighborhood and noisy and hectic. Fast food outlets were really handy, but the convenience stores were not stocking the usual items. The staff were all excellent and helped us find the location of a building that we needed to go to. They all had a good attitude and we worked around the language difficulty.

The bath didn't drain very well, so I told reception early in the morning but it wasn't fixed by the time we left the next day. Large lobby but only a couple of seats and they didn't have backrests. The two power points by the beds were broken, but maybe no one had informed maintenance - I have noted it on the hotel's satisfaction checklist.
