Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Hanting Premium Nanjing - Near NUAA!
Unbelievable… Maybe? A Deep Dive into Hanting Premium Nanjing - Near NUAA! (Brace Yourself)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to embark on a brutally honest tour of the Hanting Premium Nanjing - Near NUAA. I say "unbelievable" in the title because that's what the marketing machine wants you to believe. But let's be real, folks. We’re going to cut through the glossy brochure and get down to the nitty-gritty. This isn’t just a review; it's a therapy session fueled by copious amounts of free Wi-Fi (more on that later).

Is it worth it? Find out here, with a healthy dose of sass and real-world observations. (And yes, the Wi-Fi is actually free!)
The Arrival & (Potentially) The First Impression (Accessibility & General Vibe)
Okay, first off, finding this place was a bit of a scavenger hunt. My phone’s GPS was more confused than I was trying to decide between the buffet spread. But eventually, there it was – a sleek, modern building. Immediately, my inner critic started buzzing. Is this going to be another soulless, corporate-looking hotel?
Accessibility: This is a mixed bag. The elevator existed (a huge plus), and the public areas seemed generally accessible. I didn't specifically test every single inch with a wheelchair – I'm not that organized – but the facilities looked accommodating. There were definitely facilities for disabled guests, but I'd still advise confirming specific needs with the hotel directly.
Check-in/Check-out: More Like "Check-it-Out* (Contactless & Efficient!)
The contactless check-in/out was a definite win. No endless paperwork, no awkward small talk (bless!), just scan and go. They did have the option for front desk, and I saw the desk clerks providing a very helpful service.
The Room: Expectations vs. Reality (Wi-Fi, Comforts, and the Dreaded Blackout Curtains)
My "Unbelievable Luxury" room involved a lot of things. Let's begin.
- Wi-Fi: Hallelujah! Free Wi-Fi in ALL rooms! And it actually worked. Reliably. This is a HUGE win in a world where hotel Wi-Fi is often slower than a snail on sedatives. I practically wept with joy. Internet [LAN] was also available, which I didn’t bother with. But the Wi-Fi? Worth the price of admission alone.
- Comforts: Air conditioning blasting! Bathtub big enough to float a rubber ducky (though I didn't bring one, sadly). Bathrobes that kinda felt luxurious. Slippers! Coffee/tea maker – a must. Oh, and an alarm clock that actually, you know, woke me up. Nice touch. The complimentary tea was passable, as well.
- The Blackout Curtains: Okay, here's a minor gripe. Those blackout curtains were serious business. Like, "I woke up thinking it was still 3 AM" serious. They were effective, so I'll give them that. But a little more light in the morning wouldn’t kill anyone!
The "Thing" to do (And Ways to Relax): The Spa – A Moment of Bliss? (Or Not?)
I’m a spa cynic. I find a lot of them…overrated. However, this place's spa and wellness facilities had: Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, and a Swimming pool.
So, I tried the massage. The therapist was…competent. Not magical. I have been to Spas I love. Like, I would live there ones. This one was… Fine. The room itself was nice enough, clean and calm. The sauna, on the other hand, was a sweat-lodging experience! Perfect! The swimming pool was also a view.
The Dining Diary: From Buffet to Buffet (And the Quest for Decent Coffee)
Alright, let's talk eats. Food is a big deal, right?
- Breakfast Buffet: The breakfast buffet was…a buffet. I’m not going to lie, I ate there. It had all the usual suspects: Western and Asian breakfast options, hot items, cold items, and a dizzying array of pastries. The coffee, however? Meh. Definitely needed a jolt of espresso to fully wake up.
- Restaurants: There was a restaurant that offered an A la carte menu, Asian cuisine in restaurant, international cuisine in restaurant, a vegetarian restaurant, and Western cuisine in restaurant.
- Room Service: Available 24-hours. Convenient for those late-night snack attacks (or if you’re just feeling antisocial).
Cleanliness and Safety: The Pandemic Era Reality
This is where Hanting really shines. They were clearly taking the whole COVID thing seriously:
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Check.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Check.
- Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE: Check.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: You betcha.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Definitely.
I felt genuinely safe and comfortable.
Services and Conveniences: A Mixed Bag of Useful &… Less So
- Car park [free of charge]: Sweet!
- Laundry service: Essential.
- Gift/souvenir shop: I did not visit.
- Business facilities: They had a business center with meeting rooms, available audio-visual equipment, and they were also offering the service or Xerox/fax in business center.
- Concierge: Helpful.
- Elevator: Yes.
- Luggage storage: Handy.
For the Kids (And the Parents Who Need a Break)
- Babysitting service: They had it!
- Family/child friendly: They are family-friendly.
- Kids meal: They had kids' meals!
Getting Around: Airport Transfers & More
Airport transfer was offered. Car park [free of charge] Car park [on-site] Car power charging station Taxi service Valet parking
The Verdict:
This isn't a perfect hotel, but it's a solid choice. It's clean, safe, and the Wi-Fi is a gift from the gods. The amenities are plentiful, and the staff is generally helpful. The location is convenient. It's definitely not the most luxurious experience I've ever had, but it's comfortable and functional. I would recommend it, yes. If you're looking for a dependable, well-equipped hotel near NUAA, this is a great option. Just temper your expectations with a dose of realism. And definitely bring your own coffee.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is me attempting to navigate the concrete jungle of Nanjing, China, from the supposed "premium" haven of the Hanting Hotel. Prepare for a journey filled with more facepalms than photogenic moments.
Hanting Premium Hotel Nanjing Jiangning, Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread (and Noodles)
- 8:00 AM (Beijing Time, which I'm pretty sure is code for "when your internal clock decides to betray you"): Land in Nanjing. After a grueling flight (curse you, economy class and your limited legroom!) and a passport control line that felt longer than my last relationship, I am finally here. I'm sweating, I'm jet-lagged, and I can already taste the questionable airport coffee.
- 9:30 AM: Find the designated hotel transfer. (Pro-tip: Learn basic Mandarin before coming to China… or embrace the beautiful chaos of pantomiming and Google Translate.) The driver, bless his heart, looks thoroughly unimpressed with my baggage. I swear I saw a flicker of amusement in his eyes when I tried to cram my ridiculously oversized suitcase into the trunk.
- 11:00 AM: Check into the Hanting Premium. "Premium" is a word I'm using with a lot of skepticism right now. The room is…adequate. Clean-ish. The view overlooks a… concrete parking lot. My initial optimism is starting to crumble. (Emotional Reaction: Mild panic setting in. Did I make a mistake?)
- 12:00 PM: Hunger strikes. Hard. Google Maps to the rescue! Find a local noodle shop nearby. Oh, the sweet, sweet relief of real food. I order something I think is beef noodle soup. (Quirky Observation: The noodles were so good, so perfectly chewy, they could have single-handedly saved my entire trip. Also, the communal chopsticks situation? Still a little terrifying after all this time.)
- 1:30 PM: Walk around the area. Wander around. Get momentarily lost. The bustling streets, the sounds, the smells…it's a sensory overload in the best possible way. Feel a sense of connection as I spot a familiar-looking cafe and feel at ease. (Rambles about the cafe)
- 3:00 PM: Collapse back in the hotel. Nap? Meditate? Contemplate my life choices that led me here? Probably all three. (Emotional Reaction: A wave of homesickness hits me. It's okay to miss your own bed and your own mug.)
- 6:00 PM: Decide I should probably eat something. Wander around aimlessly and find some street food. (Opinionated Language: The dumplings were amazing. The mystery meat on a stick? Let's just say it was an experience.) I got a few friendly smiles and stares, probably due to my confusion in ordering.
- 7:00 PM: Back in the hotel. Start prepping for tomorrow. Watch a terrible dubbed action film on the TV. Sleep.
Hanting Premium Hotel Nanjing, Day 2: The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and the Battle of My Stomach
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. The sun! Actually shining! Feeling slightly less like a zombie, although the jet lag is still a mischievous little gremlin.
- 9:00 AM: Take a Taxi to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Ugh, traffic! (Emotional Reaction: Grumble, grumble, grumble. Why is public transit so complicated? And why do I not speak Chinese?)
- 9:30 AM: Arrive at the mausoleum, and promptly become awe-struck. Seriously, it's gorgeous. The architecture, the scale, the serene atmosphere…it's a legit Instagram moment. (Quirky Observation: I had to resist the urge to take a selfie with EVERY statue. Restraint, I say.)
- 10:00 AM: Climb all the steps. ALL OF THEM. (Opinionated Language: My legs are screaming, but the view from the top is worth it. Don't skip the steps.)
- 11:30 AM: A small snack. Okay, maybe not so small. A quick pit stop at a local street food vendor and a delicious ice cream to cool me down.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch time. I found a restaurant that someone recommended. Let's be honest, that was a mistake. I ordered something, the waiter looked puzzled, and served me food that I was not sure if I could eat. (Emotional Reaction: This is where the real fun begins.)
- 2:00 PM: Struggle with my stomach. Find restroom. Repeat. (Messier structure and occasional rambles: Long story short…I probably should have trusted my gut feeling and ordered something else.) I think it was the spices. Or maybe the unidentifiable protein. Or maybe just, you know, the general shock to my digestive system of being in a completely different country. Either way: Disaster. Absolute, undeniable disaster.
- 3:30 PM: Wander back to the hotel, feeling like a deflated balloon.
- 4:00 PM: Rest in the hotel. After so much struggle, I decide to simply rest in my hotel room.
- 7:00 PM: Find a safe restaurant for dinner. Order bland, safe food.
- 8:00 PM: Early night, and a little more time to reflect on the day.
Hanting Premium Hotel Nanjing, Day 3: More of the Same (Kind Of).
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast. Feeling somewhat better, I had breakfast here, and it was so-so.
- 10:00 AM: A morning walk to the lake, a great way to start a day after all the adventures.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch.
- 3:00 PM: Shopping.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner.
The Undeniable Truth:
- This itinerary is a joke. I have no clue what I'm doing, and that is okay.
- My plans will probably change at least a dozen times before the end of the day.
- I'm going to make mistakes. I'm going to eat questionable food. I may even (gasp!) get lost.
- But I'm also going to have experiences. I'm going to see things. I'm going to learn things. And maybe, just maybe, I'll come back with some decent stories to tell.
- So wish me luck, and remind me to pack extra Pepto-Bismol.
- Because, oh boy, do I need it!
(And that's the messy, beautiful, and brutally honest truth of my trip to Nanjing! Now, wish me luck, because I'm going to need it.)
