Instagram-worthy guesthouse with an average cost of 200 per person

There’s a healing guesthouse in downtown Nanjing worth visiting again and again! Staying in Xinjiekou but feeling none of the city’s hustle and bustle, this is the Lvyou Yushe Guesthouse, truly a brief refuge for urbanites🌿

✨Location so good it brings tears
Located at 156 Hanzhong Road, just a 5-minute walk from Shanghai Road Metro Station! It’s about a 10-minute drive to Xinjiekou shopping district and Confucius Temple scenic area, and a taxi to Laomendong starts at the base fare. Surrounded by delicious food, with plenty of authentic snack shops right downstairs—night owls will be thrilled!

🏡Room experience is genuinely amazing
The smart home system amazed me as soon as I walked in: automatic curtains slowly open, the projector can directly stream shows, and the smart toilet seat is warm in winter~ My friend stayed in the Ultraman-themed room, and the kids were over the moon! We stayed in the Oxygen Bar room equipped with a professional air purification system, perfect for allergy sufferers.

🧸Details that delight the perfectionists
• 24-hour free self-service bar with freshly ground coffee and six kinds of health teas
• The housekeeper contacts you in advance with a map of nearby food spots
• Each floor has a carefully maintained green plant area with soothing fragrances
• Laundry service available, perfect for long trips

📸Highly photogenic spots
1. Skylight night view in the Starry Sky room (bring a fill light recommended)
2. Bookshelf background wall in the lobby
3. Green plant art corner in the corridor
4. Cartoon murals in themed rooms (the Mario room is super cute)

💡Practical tips
1. Room selection: higher floors are quieter, river view rooms have the best views
2. Transportation: Exit 1 of Shanghai Road Station on Metro Line 1 is the closest
3. Nearby activities: 15-minute walk to check out the Vanguard Bookstore, and you can stroll to the 1912 district at night
4. Hidden perk: ask the housekeeper for a postcard souvenir when you check in

The Oxygen Bar room I stayed in really impressed me—woken naturally by sunlight in the morning, sipping free herbal tea while watching a movie on the projector at night, who knew a guesthouse could be this comfortable~ The housekeeper even helped book a table at the popular restaurant next door, such thoughtful service!

Boutique guesthouses in Nanjing are increasing, but this one is the king of cost-performance in terms of location, facilities, and service. Especially suitable for couples, families with kids, and even business travelers. It’s already on my must-stay list for Nanjing!
