Great, 10/10.
Pros:

The hostel was right in the centre of Laomendong, which is a great place to walk around and eat/drink in the evening, and only a 10/15 minute walk from the metro station for accessing other areas of Nanjing. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. We only stayed here for one night, and they let us leave our bags in the hostel after we checked out the following day (we were getting a sleeper train to Beijing so didn’t have another hotel to check in to). The hostel has a cafe/bar so we returned to the hostel before our train to have a drink and call our families.

Basic small hotel in the heart of Long Men Dong
Pros:

This property has changed its name and functions more like a small hotel verses a hostel. There are common areas but if you travel there in the winter like we did, the common areas are very cold and not suitable to hang out in. Rooms were clean and basic.

Cons:

Bathroom smelled gross.

Great location and nice room and staff
Pros:

The hostel is placed in the middle of the historical Laomendong district, a pedestrian area full also of nice shops and restaurants, very closed to the subway. The room was big and clean and Staff was helpful and nice. Totally recommended!

Awesome stay in central historical location in Nanjing
Pros:

The rooms and the location are awesome, I was in a spacious private room with all comfort. It was very clean and nice. And the location the best location in Nanjing, right in the old town next to the wall with all shops and restaurants nearby. The staff was extremely nice despite not speaking English.

Cons:

The staff didn't speak English although they did all their best to help translate. Also I was the only foreigner so not necessarily the best to meet fellow travelers. But I really enjoyed my stay and easily one of the best hostels I ever stayed in.

The best place for enjoying the vibe of the old town
Pros:

The location of this hotel is the best part we loved. The decoration of the room is simple yet cozy. During the night, it is incredibly quiet. We took a walk in the early morning and truly enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the surroundings.

Cons:

Would be nice if breakfast is served.

A very nice hostel in a great location!
Pros:

Our room was very nice and comfortable with all the modern amenities.
The hostel is an old building nicely renovated. We loved the vibes! The location is fantastic, right in the old historic part of Nanjing, plenty of shops, coffee shops, restaurants close by.
There is a small coffee shop downstairs, where they make very nice coffee!
The hostel is located in a pedestrian area, so taxis are unable to access it, but it is only a short walk.

Beautiful surroundings but not worth it.
Pros:

Nice location and surroundings as it is inside tourist attractions, but no public transport nearby.

Cons:

Bugs in the toilet due to the humidity of Nanjing, which I can understand as I have been living here for 4 years as a bachelor student. No hot water supply for showers. Not worth the price at all for such quality in Nanjing. Don’t recommend unless you just want to be inside the famous tourist attractions and are willing to spend this much money for this.

Super comfortable and clean
Pros:

This is great hostel in a fascinating, old part of Nanjing. The best thing about this place is how comfortable the rooms are - super clean, high speed Wi-Fi, big beds, perfect AC and lots of piping hot water. Could easily have stayed longer! We arrived quite late at night around 11pm and it was a bit tricky to find as the reception’s telephone was off (so we couldn’t put them in touch with the taxi driver, who didn’t understand the written directions). They don’t seem to have a luggage store room but kindly stored our bags for us in the lobby while we explored the city, before catching the train.
