This is a cheap place to stay and the AC did work well.  It was part of a package we bought that was supposed to be 3-star hotels.  No matter what your agent tells you this is not a 3-star.  I think the highest rack rate was 20 yuan.  The place was filthy, common areas a mess.  It was after midnight when we arrived or we wouldn't have stayed.  Unless your goal is to find and experience the cheapest hotels spend your money and go to the City Comfort Inn or the Ming Yuan.  I wish someone had been honest with me.  The business center of this "Busmess" (sic) Hotel consists of a desk in the open lobby that is not air conditioned.

Not for the faint of heart

Nanning is not a tourist city, so there is not  a lot of choice in hotels.   If you want a budget-priced  hotel, with reasonable amenities, the High Class is fine. 

The positives : It's right by the train station  (as are a  couple of others in the same price range ), and about 5 minutes walk from the office where 2 of the  morning buses to Hanoi leave from.   Rooms are reasonably priced -- we had a "business" room (that was the only option we were offered) for RMB188; it had  a  PC in it , which proved really useful. 

The negatives:  Staff speak minimal English -- we managed to negotiate a room OK but couldn't find out in advance of agreeing what facilities it had or if we could see it (Fortuntely another customer came to our rescue and translated)  and the next day we had to resort to the phrase book to ask if we could stay another night.   Rooms are supposedly non-smoking but the corridors and lift areas are full of smoke and this seems to get dragged into the rooms through the air-con system.  We were woken at 11.30pm by someone ringing the room bell and calling out to us from the hallway (Later we read that hotels near train stations are often haunted by the local prostitutes, so we assumed that was what we had been offered!)   We weren't able to book on-line even though rooms were showing as available; when we arrived we found the hotel was huge, so it may not ever be necessary to book.

Adequate hotel; value for money

I had to travel from Beijing to Nanning, and catch an onward train to Hanoi the following day.
I'd previously stayed in Nanning a couple of weeks before, and had great difficulty in finding a suitable hotel/guest house/hostel.
The problem is that Nanning is basically a fuctioning Chinese city, with few tourists, and therefore caters to people usin it as a hub.
With hat, it's not easy to find anyone that speaks English, and being my first time i China, I haven't learned Chinese!

I popped into the High-Class Hotel, just to geta price for a nights stay, and was expecting a shock when i saw the immaculate lobby area, and nautical theme inside.
I was pleasantly surprised to be quoted 128RMB ($18-19), which is about 1/3 of the rate being charged just a block away at the Phoenix!

The staff are uniformed and speak English and there are two lifts (elevators).
The rooms are spacious and clean, with cable TV and a comfortable bed.

There are also a plentiful supply of little 'extras' left on display, which can be added to your final room bill upon check-out (drinks, noodles (kettle in room), condoms and other little love 'trinkets')

Bathroom is clean with hot water and shower.

I paid more than the rate for this room at the Lotusland Hostel, and without any of the frills (no tv etc).

So, if you need somewhere close to the railway station and at a reasonable price, look no further.

To locate the hotel, get to the railway station, then as you're facing the entrance, look over to the right, and you will see the hotel just to the right of the station, across the bus park.

I'll try to upload a photo I took from the balcony, which shows the great view at night.
