Find Hotels in Nanning, China

We stayed in Nanning for two nights while getting our visas for Vietnam. Since there is not much to do in terms of tourism in the city so we spent much of our time in our room. This hotel has a motto everywhere that says "five star renovation at two star price". This sums up the hotel well. We were very comfortable. The breakfast was cheap and relatively good. Be warned though, if you are travelling with a tablet, first there is no wifi in the rooms and, second, if you have your own wifi hot spot, it will not connect to their network. You can upgrade your room for 20rmb to get a desktop computer.

Our rooms were comfortable, clean and of a good size. A range of toiletries were also provided and regularly replenished. The hotels location on Dongge was convenient as it was about a 20 minute taxi ride to the city centre and People's Park and a 15 taxi ride in the opposite direction to Folk Song Lake (Bar Street) and some of the Nannings main shopping centres. What really made our stay at the hotel so good was the excellent service we recieved throughout our stay. Staff were always polite and friendly and couldn't do enough to try and help us. Not all staff at the hotel speak English but the hotel made sure that the excellent Claudia , who spoke fluent English, checked in with us each morning to see how we were doing and help us is making arrangements for our tourist activities by booking taxi's for us and guiding us on when and where to go to places. This was greatly appreciated and reflected on the friendly nature of staff at the hotel as a whole. A further reflection on the hot

Have been to Nanning many many times. Have stayed at so many different hotels because there are not many good choices at all in a city this large. Now that the Marriott Hotel is in Nanning, the city has a true 5 star Hotel. Yes I know some claim to be 5 star and I have stayed in them. There is a not a single 5 star hotel in Nanning EXCEPT the Marriott Hotel, irregardless of what you read in advertisements. This hotel is located and attached the largest new shopping mall in Nanning. Hard to beat this 5 star hotel that has 3 star prices. I would not stay anywhere else when I am in Nanning again.

A stone's throw from the nearest tube station, and right next to the lake males for a convenient and pleasant location. The lake has a nice path with directional arrows and 500m markers and is an exact 8k loop (for those other runners out there). There's not much around the hotel, but that's how Nanning is right now as it's still being heavily developed, so you'll need to get the tube somewhere or take a taxi.

Overall very happy with the stay. Found staff to be generally very friendly and helpful. They arranged a visit to Detian Falls for us, which included a packed breakfast and a lift to the bus station. Particularly liked the fact that the bed clothes were changed every day and the room thoroughly tidied up unlike other Chinese hotels I have stayed at which have been the same price. The location was perfect as it was less than 20 minutes from Nanning East railway station and Qingxiu mountain and the centre of the city

Easy access to local street food (zhong shan street is just a few minutes walk). Opposite the hotel is the 1100++years old Nanning Ancient Wall (built during Tang Dynasty & further refurbished in Qing Dynasty), situated just next to Yongjiang River. Locals still carrying out daily activities by the river. Went to several small historical sites such as the Jinshi Alley. Amazing sight and feel of history! . Being the oldest hotel in Nanning city, Yongjiang hotel is also a history itself. Found one nice, must-visit pub called Li Cun(立春).

We enjoyed staying at this comfortable hotel. We had a noise issue with some neighboring rooms and the staff very quickly and efficiently took care of the problem by changing our room to another room on another floor. I understand they also informed the noisy parties to be more considerate of other guests. It rained one day while we were there and they furnished an umbrella for us which was very nice. The bed was soft by Chinese Standards and we slept well. The room was clean and smelled good. Across the large road was a Mall which had eateries on each floor. Each we chose had very good food including a nice (little bit expensive), buffet dinner which was very expansive and had many many different foods. The noodle shops on sixth floor of the mall had a nice variety of breakfast type foods (Chinese breakfast of course, noodles, etc.). Over all our stay was very nice and we would recommend to anyone. It was very easy to get a taxi in front of the hotel or on the large street and bus stop nearby also. We came to Nanning by train and it is a bit far but not expensive by taxi. The Hotel is east of downtown area where the train station is but we enjoyed the fresh air and small commute by public transportation to get there within a half hour or so. Just down the road toward downtown is another large Mall and a Walmart store is on the end of that mall. So a lot of shopping opportunities if you like high end shopping. The hotel is close to the drop off destinations (Citi Bank), for Visa and Passport pickup from the US Embassy for those immigrating to USA. We would choose this hotel anytime we go to Nanning.

The lift was not working and it was not told to us before we checked in. After getting the room card we over heard 2 guest being told the lift was not working. My 75 yr old husband had to climb 6 level with luggage. That is the start of the problem. The stairs is littered with rubbish and people were living on the lower levels of the stairwell. The lower 2 levels were not lit. When we got into our rooms. One of them was not made. And the rooms were in bad contition. The floor boards were lifted and the room wasnt very clean. The buildind is located above a wet market and you can smell the market.

Our originally booked and paid for hotel with breakfast was cancelled in the last minute and was offered this lower end hotel with breakfast but this hotel has no restaurant ！Everyday someone will slot into the room a stack of calling cards with semi nude ladies offering sexual services even though one of our booked room was occupied by our female colleague. We made a complaint to the front desk to no avail. The water pump was not working throughout our 7 nights stay so each time we take a bath we have to call the front desk to activate the water pump so that there is cold running water to the shower mixer. The pump was only fixed on the day of our departure. Our female colleague felt very insecured in the room where strangers can just come to slot into the room calling calls offering sexual services. Agoda should have vetted all hotels before offering to travelers. We have always booked through Agoda for the quality of the hotels it offered but this is not the case here.

This budget hotel is very difficult to locate even for a Chinese. Keep the hotel call number. The trick is to look for a 2-meter high fountain, and on only during peak hours,about 30 meter from a river stream located right in front of a shopping mall. The hotel occupies floor 4 to 6 of a builing called Taiwan Zhen. The very small 1-meter entrance is on the right of the building, and about 10 mters from the fountain. Take a lift to the 4th floor. Look for room 433. Electricity: guests are allocated 10 units per day. Excess, the charge is CNY1.50 per unit. 1 unit = to about 1 hour of aircond. This hotel lives up to its name of "one happy family". I think it is family run. The staff is very attentive to complaints. I would recommend this hotel to family as the room which is actually a studio apartment is very big and clean; equip with a washing machine, refrigerator and a small kitchen, light utensils on request I suppose, for some light cooking. Train and bus stations, a food street and shopping centers are all within walking distance. Convenient public transports to places of interest.

After unsuccessfully trying to find the hostel i booked i called the manager and he said that it was full and i had to go to another location, this was very inconvenient. Once i found it, the place was nice and the hosts where great, they offered me dinner and also gave me a cash refund when i cancelled the second night as i had to leave early. location is close by to nightclubs.

Located on a some kind of business district, some 15 minutes by taxi from the Langdon bus station. None of the staff spoke any English, which made things a bit tricky. However, we spent there only one night on our way from Yangshuo to Hanoi, Vietnam. Good for sleeping, but not much else. Not many restaurants with English menus around, 10 minutes walk to McDonalds... We tried to ask if there's breakfast available in the hotel, but still we don't know.

It was a memorable experience in Nanning when I was there on 16-25 Oct 2010, because I chose the right hotel via Agoda. Honestly I didn't have any idea about Best Western Premier Nanning Red Forest Hotel when I saw it in Agoda, but it's mentioned it's near the exhibition/convention hall, where I participated at one CAEXPO exhibition there. Thus, I just took a risk when I booked this hotel. When I reached the hotel, it's beyond my expectation. Best Western Premier Nanning Red Forest Hotel was a luxurious hotel with spacious room. And the very good thing is its location, as it's located on the opposite of the exhibition/convention hall.
