Don't have phone number or address, but the guesthouse at Nanjing Normal Uni is nice. Asking a taxi driver to take you to "Nanjing Shifan Daxue Waibing de Zhaodaisuo" should get you there. I think they call the uni "Shida" for short.

Nice peaceful building surrounded by the uni. The room I stayed in (on ground floor down the corridor to the left of reception, was newly renovated). Cost no more than 200RMB/night. They have a range of different room types with different prices. I think there were some cheaper than mine. Breakfast included.

Location in on the west side of town, about a 30 min walk north-west of Xinjiekou (center of town). Got a few bars and late closing restaurants around the area if you go hunting.

that was 1 year ago, the fastest now is 2h17mn, 2 in the morning from sh to nj( 8h30 and 8h37) , and 2 back to shanghai in the afternoon (13h20 and 13h27),very comfortable

for the hotels ,depends on ur budget, u can get good ones around 400yuan, and u can just check on internet of names.......if u r on low budget ,i recommand the Nanjing international youthh hotel in Fu zi miao, very clean and close to everywhere, nice terrase on roof for a drink with friends
50yuan for a bed and around 150yuan for a standard room with own washroom
