Jiangxi Province hotels & accommodations
good
It's located a bit outside of the city, a metro station on the corner, and a mall with Aquarium (inside the mall) and Themepark (next to it) across the street. Travelling from the train station, using the metro instead of a taxi is a great alternative. Depending on the time of day the metro can be more crowded (as it can be anywhere).
The hotel is clean, but located in new area so it is not easy to find out good restaurant in this area. We arrived at late night from airport, the serviceman in gate do not allow to enter car in front of hotel gate even though we have lots of luggage in the car. It is my first experience to met this kind of bad service.
This hotel is very well located in an interesting natural mountainous area. It is adjacent to the cable car which gives access to the mountain paths. The staff are exceptionally helpful and have excellent English. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The restaurant is excellent and we had a very enjoyable stay here.
My room facing Tengwangge on the other side of Ganjiang, it was so romantic at night, making my stay in the hotel & also in Nanchang just so perfect, thank you for all!
Recommend. Units are not sufficient.But you'll be able to relax easily. I was touched by the kindness of the staff.
The hotel is well-built, and well-maintained, but the best part was the service. Every single person on staff was happy and proud to do their jobs well. From our cleaning woman, to the check-in receptionist, they were competent, friendly, and sincere in all of their efforts. Lisa at check in, Ivy at the front desk, and our waitress Katrina stand out as wonderful staff...

My sister and I were in Nanchang for a photography trip. Picked Crowne Plaza to kick start 2019 and to pamper ourselves. The hotel property is big, well maintained, great staff and a good are for relaxation. Though the cold weather from the unexpected snow on 30/12/18 dampened our hiking plan, we enjoyed our dinner, the music by the resident Filipino band and a heart...
The first thing that is invisible on the Internet is that Lushan is about 40 minutes away from this location, in a shanty little town full of "resorts," which often look half abandoned. The bed's linen were far from immaculate and we had to ask to change them, the air-conditioning was not working properly, and they did not even offer to change the room. Finally, we dec...
Stay in Nanchang for a week and was given an upgrade by the staff at no extra charge. The room provided was big for the price being paid. However, the room was located next to the chambermaid's work area and was frequently disturbed by them. The hotel is centrally located within the city and a short walk away from the shopping district of Nanchang.
The Shangri-La is in a great location in Nanchang! I live in Nanchang and decided to take a personal retreat here. It is right next to the subway and in walking distance of many restaurants. It is right on the river so you get beautiful views of Nanchang. Highly recommend the breakfast. There are many Chinese things but they also have great western options.
You really need to have a good reason to be in the area of this hotel. Golfers make like the place. But the town is small & not a tourist attraction. The hotel has excellent facilities, very helpful & component staff, really everything that you could ask for. Only issue is that we didn't speak any Chinese language, & they didn't speak much English. So carry a translat...
JinJiang is a moderately-priced typical hotel chain: its room satisfies your basic needs. But this one is perfectly located: Just to the North are typical Chinese neighborhoods, to get the local feel. Just East is a fantastic park with four small lakes (N, S, E, W.) A short walk South is shopping of all sorts, including Walmart. And walking to the West will bring yo...
Staff had very poor language skills, The buffet restaurant a little bit same, same everday
The staff was great here. There's nearly nothing of note within walking distance. For me, it was a stopover. I wish I'd stayed another night to see the natural beauty nearby.
Jinjiang hotels are decent places to stay in China when you are on a budget. The beds are clean and the rooms are tidy but that's about it. I use them frequently and have no worries or issues, it is exactly what you get for your budget. Compared to normal Chinese hotels, there are no leaks in the ceiling or strange smells. If you are looking for a spa or a pool or ...
Value for the money !
OK to choose
This hotel is really convenient for transportation and night life. It is also centrally located.
close to attraction, rooms are clean and cozy.
The price is reasonable and is goood for a decent stay. Except that it is situated near a junction which is noisy.
great staff. provide detail tourist information with a smile. Even rush to the train station to return our credit card which was left behind - amazing service in China!
Heat insulation poor. Location OK. The teochew restaurant next door offer excellent food. Cheap and good.
Easily accessible to all attractions. Few bus stops away from the center where we can find good restuarants and shopping.
Normal hotel and normal service. But it's really cheap.
It's a high rise hotel of walking distance to train station. The 19th floor room I stayed offers a bird's eye view and a bathroom eqipped with spacious bathtub which may certainly enliven youself. Here comes cons: the cleanness of picture window and room carpet, though acceptable, somewhat failed to meet the international 5-star hotel standard in my personal opinion....
when i stayed in the city, i did not have any problem. the service quality is enough. ( sometimes chinese hotel holds problems. but, it is not the type of the hotel.)
It's my first time travel with my father and I like the decoration of the room very much, because it's a little seems like reading room of my home.Anyway,I will book it next time.

I loved the place, the family that also live there are so warm and friendly. They cooked me dinner and breakfast, and I had a huge bedroom! They even gave me a lift to the next village I was sightseeing at - whole heartedly recommend.
strategic location and convenient to access other places. overall, the hotel considered modern type, the living hall designed like asean style. the front desk service is good, explained the booking from agoda. the room is clean, transparent glass toilet, lcd tv and ect. one bad thing is the room is not furnish with locker. i'm booking the deluxe king bed

good facility, at the gate of tianmu hotspring and very close to the beautiful and historic mountain of lu shan. the front desk is quite inexperienced and had hardly heard about agoda.

I took my wife and adopted daughter back to Nanchang so daughter could visit her homeland. This place is very nice (much nicer than where we stayed when we adopted). Hotel is new, nice big rooms with fridge. Staff spoke english. When we were there the pool was not yet open and they only had wireless internet access on three floors. Although the web site said wireless e...
This is a hotel near to main sight-seeing spots. It is convenient. The room is big. But the interior decoration is fair. The service is poor and the staff is not adequate. The swimming pool and gym closed for a few months when we attended. The breakfast is below standard. In general, this is a below standard hotel and poor service.
The hotel is in a good central location with great accessibility to airport, central rail and bus stations. It is also next to the historic Zhang River where we could stroll in the evenings and visit the bars along the banks of the river. But the gym needs some update in terms of equipment! Overall pleasant experience staying at the hotel.
This guesthouse is the resort style Hotel located off the main town. It is a very quite place with university around them . The site is very big with a lake (Qianhu) behind them. A very unique location. the hotel is consists of many low rise building blocks with basement floor for recreation and SPA facilities etc. it is rated 4 Star by my opinion.
