Pros - friendly staff - ideal location in the city centre - internet Cons - there is a building lot (new metro station) near the hotel right now - not all staff were able to speak english, on the other hand there was always someone who helped - the cigarette smoke from corridor can be sometimes smelled in the room...

Whilst the Eastern Pearl is clearly designed for business travellers to Nanjing, we (as a couple with mother) found it the perfect base for exploring the local area as tourists for a day. Recommended. Sightseeing/Attractions Tip: Going up the Purple Mountain is probably only worth it on a clear day. The cable car is a long (boring) ride when you... More

Pro: A reasonably priced hotel from Agoda (@345RMB – in fact Agoda is recommended by the hotel staff for extra nights as cheaper than the over the counter price of 410RMB!).

Bedroom was comfortable with good bed, pillows TV etc. Bottled water, kettle amd makings for tea and coffee. Breakfast buffet was a good choice... More

There isn't much in the surrounding area unless you venture out a few blocks, but we enjoyed going to YongHeDaWang (a noodle franchise nearby). While we were there, we hung out and got a few massages in the hotel spa. The... More
