James Joyce Coffetel Hotel (Guangzhou Beijing Road Metro Station Pedestrian Street) had faint cigarette smell that lingered in the elevator, and room.
On our 2nd/last night, we also encountered a cockroach and an unpleasant urine odor.
It seems the towels weren’t changed, as the one we used had a hole in it, which matched the same hole in the other towel.
Unless all the towels have holes, that seems unlikely.
The holes looked like tears, & surely not part of the design.
The shower foam was almost empty and wasn’t refilled; when we tried to pump it, nothing came out. We had to request a refill from the front desk, which took couple of minutes.
On the positive side, the location is great—just a five-minute walk to the metro—and they offer free coffee, hot tea, and some soft drinks, although they were average.
I read reviews mentioning a friendly front desk, but our experience wasn’t very positive in that regard.
