I stayed at the Nanyuan Hotel for a week in September 2009 when I was in Ningbo for a conference. It was my first trip to China and I didn't know what to expect, but I was definitely nervous, thinking that the hotel would be old and dirty.
Well, I was wrong. The Nanyuan was great: big rooms, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, delicious breakfast.
The hotel has a really great location, and is walking-distance from the Tiayani Square, a shopping center, several restaurants and surrounding attractions, which made everything really convenient.
Finally, the staff and the Nanyuan were great. Not all of them spoke English, but they were quite attentive and helped me anytime I had any questions.
While this may not be some brand-name hotel, I'd go so far as to say the Nanyuan is as good as any hotel in Ningbo.
