Hilton Nanjing {CHN}
Beautifully appointed room on the top floor, spatially enhanced by the most generous ceiling height. Apologies for the photos - taken moments before checking out so the room wasn’t in a particularly presentable state.
Impeccable service throughout this stay. Excellent range of breakfast options in the Executive Lounge one floor down.

Hilton Nanjing
No. 100 Middle Jiangdong Road Nanjing, CN 210019
Review: Hilton Nanjing (14 Photos)
Hilton Nanjing
Hilton Nanjing is conveniently located just 2 minutes by foot from JiQingMenDaJie metro station (exit 5) on line 2. Nanjing Lukou Airport is around 30 minutes away by car (just under RMB 150 by taxi).
Lobby:
On arrival, I was escorted from the front desk in the lobby to the Executive Lounge for check-in. Key card access is required to access the 26th floor in the lift, so if you want to go to the Executive Lounge to check-in, you will need to speak to a member of staff at the front desk/concierge.
Lift lobby:
Room
As a Hilton HHonors Diamond member, I was upgraded from a standard room to an Executive room. The room was clean and comfortable. Wifi speed was okay. There was a welcome bowl of fruit in the room. I did not receive a welcome letter.
Although it overlooked the main road (Jiangdong Road), it was not too noisy and I was able to sleep at night. View from the room:
Executive Lounge
The Executive Lounge is open from 6:30am to 11pm. On arrival, I was escorted from the front desk in the lobby to the Executive Lounge for check-in. A few hot and cold dishes, as well as drinks, are served during Happy Hour from 6 to 8pm in the Executive Lounge.
Breakfast
Executive floor guests and Hilton HHonors Diamond members can have complimentary buffet breakfast either in the Executive Lounge or in The Square restaurant on the ground floor (which has a wider range of food). In The Square, a range of dishes were available made-to-order, such as noodles, dumplings and eggs. I particularly enjoyed the freshly made meat dumplings.
Facilities
The fitness centre, indoor swimming pool and spa are situated on the 5th floor. The fitness centre is open 24/7 and the swimming pool from 6am to 10:30pm.
Overall
Service was generally good. Staff were friendly and willing to help.
However, during my stay, I had an unhappy experience after taking a taxi with a hot meter from the hotel. The price was suspiciously high for the journey and no receipt was given (taxi drivers in Nanjing usually proactively provide a receipt when you pay at the end of the journey). My suspicions were confirmed when the price for the return journey was much lower. Later, when I again wanted to take a taxi from the hotel, I realised that the same taxi driver with the hot meter was waiting outside the hotel. I refused to get on his taxi and spoke to the concierge about this particular unscrupulous driver targeting guests from Hilton Nanjing. The concierge helped me to call another taxi to the hotel to pick me up.
Nonetheless, overall, I had an enjoyable stay at Hilton Nanjing.

Lounge is a nice place (see pics in previous post) but the selection for breakfast is not wonderful. Compared to somewhere like to the Hilton Shanghai this place is a dead last. There's enough OJ in the fridge for maybe 2 glass's if you are lucky. Small selection of hot and cold dish's. Now you can order some hot side dish's like eggs anyway you want. Go downstairs but there dont expect to find any OJ, you got to ask. And if you like your OJ better ask for a large glass. The only good thing about the lounge are the soft drinks are free. Downstairs they try and charge you. Happy hour they insisted to pour my beer for me and the food was always gone. It wasnt a busy lounge either, they just dont put large portions out. But I will give them this, happy hour for drinks apparently lasts until 11pm I was told by the staff 2 nights running. So at least you can drown in your sorrows for the lack of food and service.
I found the staff to not be great, I always felt that being guest I was work for them. They rather do nothing (breakfast room, lounge, front desk). Even asking for an OJ you could see the expression on their face "what the hell does he want".
Overall not the best Hilton I been to.
One good point, location. 100m from Metro Line 2 and theres huge shopping area with tons of places to eat outside.
