Nanjing Must-Stay Homestay Recommendations

Nanjing, this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, truly makes you reluctant to leave! This time, I chose a hidden gem of a homestay in the bustling city—Lütu Yushe, just a 5-minute walk from Xinjiekou Shanghai Road Metro Station. They really nailed the concept of "a great retreat hidden in the city." I have to rave about their 24-hour butler service and zero-pressure mattresses; after a day of walking, lying down and falling asleep instantly is no dream! ✨ Sleep in the Republic of China style with high-tech features This 4-story building tucked away at 156 Hanzhong Road will win your heart the moment you open the door! Smart toilets and automatic curtains are standard, and the most thoughtful touch is that every room is equipped with an air purifier, so no worries about Nanjing’s smoggy days. Families with kids must pick the Ultraman or Mario themed rooms—don’t just take the kids’ word for it, even big kids like me couldn’t stop moving around~ 🌿 The right way to enjoy an urban oasis The green plant wall in the common area is so healing! Freshly ground coffee and fruit-flavored tea are available all day for free, and there’s even a dryer in the laundry room (with detergent provided). My room had an oxygen bar egg; I breathed in oxygen while watching projections, and my skin felt flawless the next day! The butler even quietly handed me a Nanjing food map, including a secret queue strategy for Li Ji Halal Restaurant 🤫 📍 5-minute living circle is just too good • 3-minute walk to Shanghai Road Metro Station (Lines 1 and 4) • 8-minute bike ride to Xinjiekou shopping district, with Tea Yan Yue Se and Deji Art Museum within reach • For night tours of Confucius Temple, it’s best to take a taxi (starting fare), and you can grab some crayfish on the way back 📸 Photo bonus The rooftop terrace offers a magical view of the Zifeng Tower and the parasol trees in one frame. Remember to switch to portrait mode during the blue hour at dusk. Vintage style lovers must check in at the rattan hanging chair in the common area, paired with the free straw hat props provided by the homestay for an extra vibe~ 💡 Practical Tips • It’s recommended to book themed rooms one week in advance on weekends • You need your own membership to access projector content (the butler thoughtfully provides a phone screen-casting tutorial) • Nearby Jinwei Chestnuts only accept cash! Remember to ask the butler to help you get change Sleep in naturally, then head next door to Fangpo Pastry Shop for sweet taro shoots—this kind of Jinling slow life I could live on repeat a hundred times!
