During my recent stay in Guangzhou, I chose a hotel near Beijing Lu, a bustling area known for its abundance of shopping shops and food restaurants. While the location offered convenience and vibrancy, there were a few aspects of my experience that left something to be desired.Firstly, the hotel's proximity to Beijing Lu was indeed a highlight. Being surrounded by a myriad of shopping options and delectable eateries added an exciting dimension to my stay, allowing me to immerse myself in the local culture and cuisine effortlessly.However, despite the bustling atmosphere outside, the ambiance within the hotel room was somewhat compromised. There was a noticeable smell emanating from the sewage hole in the bathroom, which detracted from the overall comfort of the accommodation. This issue was particularly unpleasant and marred an otherwise pleasant stay.Furthermore, the noise from the nearby eateries persisted late into the night, disrupting my sleep. It seemed that the lively atmosphere of the area continued well past midnight, with sounds echoing into the early hours of the morning. For guests seeking a peaceful night's rest, this may prove to be a significant drawback.Regarding the breakfast offered by the hotel, I found it to be rather simple. While it provided a sufficient start to the day, the lack of variety and sophistication left something to be desired. Guests looking for a more indulgent breakfast experience may feel somewhat underwhelmed by the options available.In conclusion, while the hotel's location near Beijing Lu undoubtedly offers a vibrant and dynamic experience, there are areas where improvements could be made. Addressing issues such as the unpleasant odor in the room and implementing soundproofing measures to mitigate noise disturbances would significantly enhance the overall guest experience. Additionally, expanding and elevating the breakfast offerings could further elevate the hotel's appeal to...
Read moreWe stayed for 2 nights here. We got a smart room where we do not have to use the key card to activate the room's electricity. However, it took us sometime to figure out how and with the help of the staff. The staffs are very friendly and seems like it is run by young people. The toilet in the room is also very strange, not the typical toilet. The glass door is shared between the toilet and the shower screen. The basin is located at the bed area. I personally do not like the toilet.It is also a street away from the Beijing Road walking street and many eateries around the vicinity. The hotel breakfast were also good although its the same menu for the 2nights we're there. They even provide supper (i.e fruits and maggie noodles). For breakfast menu, do try the noodles soup and soy bean drink.The only downside to this hotel is its soundproofing. If your room is facing the streets, be prepared that it gets very noisy even past 10pm at night. There's even loud music coming off from the push carts downstairs. Suggest to get ear plugs from the reception if you're a light sleeper. It took me sometime to get used to the sound and sleep through the noise.I will only recommend this hotel if you're planning to spend more time at Beijing Road walking street. Or if you like the...
Read moreCityNote Beijing Road is in a perfect location, close to shops and plenty of food choices. Great customer service, although language was at times difficult. I had 9 rooms booked, in various types and all were clean and comfortable. Free bottles of water were replaced daily, fresh towels and toiletries. Basic breakfast, coffee was good and cocktails at night were thoroughly enjoyed. The laundry facilities were convenient, and staff were on hand to help if needed. The fitness room was more of a storage room with 1 treadmill and 1 exercise bike amongst boxes and luggage. The reception area and dining room made it convenient for us to meet at breakfast, to discuss the days plans over a coffee or in the evening, to wind down over a cocktail. If anything needs improvement, it's the cleanliness of the lifts and corridors of the hotel. First impressions are important, and both of these areas need improvement, as it's the first thing you see before entering the hotel. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at CityNote. The convenience of the location and walking distance to Beijing Road pedestrian street, which we frequented often. A great stay and highly...
