Wuxi Jin Jiang Grand Hotel

We stayed here one night with our tour through Nexus Holidays (never again). The only thing grand about this place was the foyer, and that is where anything nice about this hotel stops. The first thing we noticed when opening the door to our room was how big and spacious the room was as it was a double room. However, within seconds of opening the door the awful smell of sewerage hit our noses. We finally traced it to the bathroom, which was mouldy and dirty, and toilet didn't flush properly. We opened our windows and closed the bathroom door, and hoped for the best. Our room obviously hadn't been cleaned in months as there was a fine layer of dust that covered everything, and it came complete with earwig bugs. The carpets were disgusting and around the edges were lumpy crusty things that looked like insect eggs. Don't believe the non smoking signs, as it reeks of cigarettes; what a combination of smells with the sewerage, and the wifi is non existent. This was obviously a lovely hotel in it's day, but the lack of maintenance and cleaning has definitely taken it's toll. If I could give 0 stars I would.

The foyer is grand but the rooms are a bit dark and had a stuffy smell. There was hardly any English spoken at reception so a bit hard to communicate. They had a restaurant for breakfast but so many people it was a bit crazy and no western food

Don't be fooled by the decent foyer. This smoky, dirty hotel does not attempt to even scratch the surface of what a hospitality institute should be. The staff are unhelpful & rude, and the GM is impatient & superficial. Most of the showers were broken in the rooms we were given. The carpets were threadbare and filthy, and the beds were rock-hard. The wifi did not work for any of us, a group of over 60. None of us attended breakfast as the breakfast venue was dirty, and the food inedible, greasy & old. The Jinjiang is not even a cheap hotel, so you are better off finding something else in the area. I've stayed in over 30 hotels in China and this rates around the 2nd Worst Ever.
