4/5 – Great Views & Smart Room, but Noise Was an Issue
I had a good stay at CityNote Hotel overall. My room was on the 40th floor, which was exactly what I was hoping for, and the Canton Tower view was fantastic. The room was cosy, modern, and equipped with smart, fully automated features—something I really appreciated during my stay in China.
However, there were two issues that affected my experience.
First, the sound insulation between rooms could be improved. Despite the solid-looking concrete partition, I could hear extremely loud and rather intimate noises from the neighbouring room late at night. As a solo traveller, this was quite irritating and made it difficult to enjoy a peaceful night.
Second, the hotel was undergoing renovation work on the 37th floor. During the daytime, the construction noise was quite significant, and I couldn't properly rest or sleep until around 8 PM. What was particularly disappointing was that this was not disclosed before I confirmed the reservation. Guests should be informed about ongoing renovation work in advance.
Apart from these issues, everything else was good, including the breakfast, room facilities, and overall comfort
Overall, I would rate my stay 4/5. With better soundproofing and clearer communication about renovation work, this hotel could easily provide an even better experience.
