The location is great, near subway stations and tourist sites. But the hotel is very dated, with old and heavily used gym equipment and worn and dingy carpet in the room. The room itself was large and the bathroom had a separate tub and shower, which is appreciated, but not in good repair--with mold and the shower didn't drain properly. It had a king bed, but Chinese style, i.e. so firm it was like sleeping on a board. For a five star hotel with the word "international" in its Chinese name, the staff also struggle with fundamental English, even for reception, concierge, or room service, and they seemed pretty apathetic. I would recommend the Nanjing Renaissance instead.
