Guangzhou Hotel Stay | Honestly, it was just okay, I didn't feel any of the quality a luxury hotel should have.
I was looking for a place in Guangzhou with my child and found this hotel, which is nestled in a quiet spot but still close to the city center. It's in Tianhe but not noisy, so I booked it. If it's not raining and the weather's good, an evening stroll around here is quite pleasant.
Parking:
The outdoor parking spots closest to the hotel are all uncovered. If it's raining, unloading luggage can be quite a hassle, and it's a bit of a walk. If you have a lot of luggage, you'd need to ask for the hotel's shuttle, which is also a bit inconvenient.
Service:
The hotel's service felt very casual and unenthusiastic, lacking any real service意识 (service awareness). It was like pulling teeth – you'd ask for something, and they'd do it, but without any genuine willingness. Compared to many other hotels I've stayed at, the service was truly poor, and their problem-solving skills were lacking. Regular staff often seemed flustered when faced with issues.
Room Facilities:
For some reason, there was a strange, unpleasant smell in the room. I noticed the hotel has been open for about 3 years, so I'm not sure if it was dampness, but it was really off-putting. I wanted to open the window, but there was no screen, which meant mosquitoes would fly in. After it rained, there were particularly many mosquitoes. We ended up changing rooms. We looked at a few rooms, and I can only say the layouts are really not good. Either the floors were very low and felt oppressive, or the prices were much higher. Several doors separated parts of the room, making the layout feel very confined. A two-bedroom unit had a tiny living room and very cramped bedrooms. It felt like an apartment building that had been converted into a hotel, so the original layout couldn't be changed, making it feel very oppressive. Or the price was high. Because of the location, the price was high. They later offered us a free upgrade to a suite. How to put it? The suite was more expensive but didn't have a bathtub. Our original, cheaper room actually had a tub, which was a bit odd.
Breakfast:
Breakfast hours were long, extending until past 11 AM, but the food quality was very mediocre. The staff and chefs also lacked any service awareness; they wouldn't greet or acknowledge guests. The food wasn't tasty, although there was a decent variety.
Overall, I basically didn't experience any of the service or amenities that a luxury hotel should offer. It was very average, and I won't be returning.
