We fell out of Nanjing Railway Station into this hotel which we had booked online. Location maybe a little confusing but basically if you exit the railway station onto the main concourse outside, and then face to the station with the lake behind you, the hotel is the tower due right. Our choice was driven by our wish to fall out of a late night train into a decent hotel where we could get our young kids to sleep quick. It worked perfectly well in this respect. In general we like the hotel and it was what we expected for this sort of money, about $70 US a night. The room was clean and comfortable with a view over the lake, beds very comfortable too. We expected the carpets to be a bit stained - but we couldn't fault the facilities - dressing gowns, slippers, excellent toiletries including a travel kit, safe box, internet. Perfect for our needs and easy access to Nanjing's subway and you can fall out of your bed into Xuanwu Lake Park with the city walls to the right. The park is really pleasant especially in hot weather.

Quiet well run hotel

Came to this hotel for sightseeing in Nanjing, and selected this hotel for location next to train station and facilities. Disappointed to find the pool is closed for maintenance and the gym is very shabby, with equipment older than most of the staff. It's also hard to get a taxi, as the entrance area has been turned into a makeshift carpark. It's about a 700m walk to the subway line. Breakfast was almost only Chinese style, and barely edible. Internet is SLOW. On the plus, rooms are clean. Overall I regret my choice of this hotel.

Good rooms in an uninspired hotel

Right next to the train station, but not much else. The Chinese restaurant was okay, but nothing special. The room was not all that clean. I stayed here for only 1 night for a business meeting in Nanjing. The hotel is your typical Chinese operated business hotel, may be 2 or 2.5 stars. It's okay for a night, but look elsewhere if you are staying longer in Nanjing.

Okay for 1 night stay.

First, the name.  Listed on CTrip as "Maochen New Century Hotel", the hotel I actually stayed in called itself "Jiangsu New Century Hotel" or on some literature, "New Century Hotel".  You can't select "Maochen New Century" or "Jiangsu New Century" hotels on this website, either.

Secondly, the hotel advertised a wine bar.  There was no wine bar to be found.  What I saw looked abandoned--nothing on the shelves, no staff in sight.  The buffet advertised "black bear meat", which tasted just like sweet and sour pork to me.  CTrip also listed bathtubs as a room amenity--my room had none, but it's possible I hadn't booked the right kind of room!  This should be clarified.

The two best things about the place?  Located next to the rail station, and the lake view.  I wouldn't stay here if I go to Nanjing again, though.

Confusing name and unfulfilled promises

My girlfriend and I had the misfortune of staying at the New Century Hotel on our recent visit to Nanjing. After fifteen countries and two years living in China, my standards when it comes to hotels are pretty low. 

Even by those low standards, the New Century was s toilet of disastrous proportions. I could forgive them the inconvenience of their pool being out of action, or even the fact their breakfast buffet's sole western option was cereal. This is China, right?

The 'state of the art' gym promised on C-Trip was a single piece of gym equipment old enough to remember the fall of the Berlin Wall. When you select a hotel specifically so you can work out while on the road, having access to a single tired piece of equipment doesn't cut it. 

Meals at the hotel were similarly disheartening. Their on site western restaurant had just a single menu item available: chicken. Regardless of what we tried to order, we were brought chicken. It might have been funny had it not been so frustrating. It is unacceptable did a restaurant to have a menu full of items it doesn't have. If chicken is all they have, best throw up a KFC sign and be done with it. 

I can put up with a lot of crap. I would have let all of the above slide and put it down to China being quirky. But then I made the mistake of doing laundry. 

I understand that this comes at a price. I recently paid $90 in Dubai to get a few items cleaned. That pales in comparison to the exorbitant 1700rmb (almost $400) we were billed for laundry. I could have purchased an electric scooter for that price. That's return flights to Hainan or Xinjiang. That's approximately 1000 pints of Tsingtao. 

 To say I was fuming is an understatement, and even after I managed to talk them down to a more reasonable 900rmb (still $150 or so), my patience for this farce of an establishment was done. I canceled my remaining six nights and got out.

I've fallen asleep in parked cars that I'd choose to revisit before I return to the New Century. It's the kind of hotel I'd recommend as a prank to somebody I legitimately hated because they stole my job or ran over my puppy. 

Avoid at all costs. This place is a low class, high price Hotel California that I thank God I could leave.
