Ji Hotel (Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center)

The hotel is located 10 mins walk to shopping street and many shopping mall i.e. parc central and one link. There are many street food vendor around the hotel. For online food delivery, robot will bring it to your room.

One of the better Ji Hotels I’ve stayed at in. You do need to head to the third floor first (which is where the hotel lobby is) for checking in/out, and to get to the Ji Hotel’s elevator for your floor and room. I was on the 31st floor in a two bed room and the view was beautiful. Cleaning was done daily, and upon request, the hotel staff was more than willing to help replace bedsheets for me. Free laundry room with status available online (via WeChat) was a huge plus (some hotels have free laundry rooms, but not the ability to track each washer/dryer’s status/ time so having that greatly reduced my anxiety about washing clothes/ other people accidentally getting into mine). I didn’t realize until the second night (when the temperatures drastically dropped) that the window of my room was cracked open and could not be closed. It was a huge issue, but was a bit surprising to me. Third floor lobby has free coffee if you request it from the lobby staff, and they’re also able to hold your luggage upon check out as needed (which I believe is something most, if not all, Ji Hotels offer). The location was positioned perfectly close to subway stations and within walking distance to two huge shopping malls which is another plus.

We paid for breakfast, but the selection was very limited. It only included local food, and there was no bread available.

The place has a nice living environment, plenty of dining options around, and it’s easy to get around by metro or taxi/ride-hailing apps.

nearby cafes are good, lifts are really slow, have to change on floor 3
