The biggest surprise of my trip to Nanjing was actually this hidden gem of a homestay right in the city center! Lvtu Yushe takes smart technology and warm service to the extreme, with a 24-hour online butler who responds instantly to requests, heavenly features like a smart toilet + projector + oxygen bar egg, completely redefining my perception of homestays 💯
🌟 Prime Location
• 3-minute walk to Shanghai Road Metro Station (Line 1/Line 2), just one stop to Xinjiekou
• 10-minute taxi ride to Confucius Temple/Laomendong, and right downstairs is Hanzhong Road, a food paradise in Nanjing
• Within 500 meters are Golden Eagle and Deji Plaza, super convenient for shopaholics
🏡 Room Experience Report
• Fully equipped with smart devices: automatic curtains + projector for binge-watching, heated smart toilet (so touching in winter)
• Themed rooms with great ideas: Ultraman room is a must for families with kids, couples can choose Japanese tatami style (some room types include laundry service)
• Cleanliness details delight: bedding smells sun-dried, towels sealed in bags, even a perfectionist can’t find fault
☕️ Hidden Homestay Perks
• Unlimited free coffee and fruit tea in the lobby, and the butler delivers goodnight sweet soup in the evening
• Rooftop terrace offers views of Nanjing’s nightscape, and on clear days you can see the outline of Purple Mountain
• Ask the butler for the "Local Foodie Map" to discover nearby no-queue spots for firewood wontons and roast duck
📸 Photo Guide
1. Red hat props + rainbow wall in the Mario-themed room
2. Reading corner by the green plants and window in the lobby (afternoon light is stunning)
3. Rooftop terrace with Deji Plaza lights in the frame
4. Tech vibe shots while controlling smart home devices
⚠️ Notes
• Ultraman room is extremely popular! Book at least 2 weeks in advance
• Recommended to choose a high-floor room (better view)
• Curtains provide moderate blackout; light sleepers should bring an eye mask
• Many one-way streets nearby, remember to set your taxi destination to "Shanghai Road Metro Station"
This place is definitely the hexagonal warrior of Nanjing’s homestay scene! Whether you’re entertaining kids, dating, or taking photos with friends, you can enjoy a five-star experience for just over 200 RMB per person. Don’t forget to bring a 256G phone to shoot your vlog~
