江苏锦江南京饭店 — Hotel in Nanjing City

I stayed in this hotel for a week in Aug 2013. My room on the 4th floor was spacious and spotlessly clean. There was an extensive range of toiletries provided apart from the usual shower gel, shampoo and conditioner - for example toothbrush, razor, hair elastic bands as well as a bathrobe and slippers. Each day 2 complimentary bottles of water, fresh fruit, snacks and an english newspaper were delivered to my room. There were tea/ coffee making facilities, wine, beer, cans of coke, chocolate, biscuits, a safe etc. The large flat screen TV had many channels. 2/3 in English.

At breakfast we found some western fayre, but the catering was principally for the Chinese. The hotel was very central in this large city, but our taxi driver seemed to have difficulty finding it as it sat back a little from the main road. We ate dinner here as well and the staff were eager to please, recommending food to us with sign language. We enjoyed our stay...

Rooms were fine, but nothing special. Not really particularly close to any attraction. The other amenities of the hotel were really average. Couldn't manage to find a meal in the hotel on a Saturday night (everything was setup for group events), and no-one seemed to have enough English to direct me to a nearby restaurant. I realise that it's China, but passable English from at least someone is meant to be an expectation in nominal 4-star and above in China. I'm sure the hotel is passable for some purposes, but I won't...
