I used this service as a solo female traveler in my 30s. I learned about the Macau government's "Free One-Way from Hong Kong to Macau Campaign" and booked through Trip.com. To sum up, the ease of booking and the smoothness of the day-of trip were all perfect, making it an incredibly rewarding experience! [Pros] • Incredible Value: I was incredibly grateful to receive the ferry fare, which would normally cost about 3,500 yen (175 HKD), for free. It allowed me to use that money to splurge on a slightly more luxurious lunch in Macau! • Smooth Booking: The Trip.com website is easy to understand in Japanese, and the process only took a few minutes. I felt at ease knowing the voucher arrived promptly. • On-the-Day Procedures: I simply presented my passport and the reservation screen on my smartphone at the ticket counter in Sheung Wan, and my ticket was issued smoothly. The staff were experienced, so I had no trouble at all. [Onboard] I used the Cotai Water Jet. The interior was clean, the air conditioning was just right, and the approximately one-hour boat ride was very comfortable. Free Wi-Fi was also available, which made it convenient for checking out Macau's tourist attractions during the trip.

Macau|0.81km from city center
If you're looking to avoid casino hotels and unreliable guesthouses, this place comes highly recommended. This hotel has hosted the country's top leaders twice, so its quality and reputation speak for themselves (it's an especially amazing experience if you're traveling with family elders who appreciate historical significance). It's located in Macau's top luxury residential area, offering a quiet environment with excellent views of the Macau Tower. The Liaison Office of the Central People's Government is right nearby, and behind it, up the hill, are some interesting churches. There are also many historical sites in the vicinity, perfect for a city walk. The only downsides are that it's a bit out of the way (wealthy areas tend to be less central) and not as convenient as hotels with casinos. While there's no direct hotel shuttle, public buses are available. If you come by metro, be prepared for a rather steep uphill walk.

We had a great stay here. Nice Christmas 🎄 decorations in the hotel. Staff very helpful with everything. Breakfast was ok (great pastries 🥐) could have some more options like fresh vegetables. Location is nice next to river with walking distance to old center. Pity the casino was closed, seems there will not be a restart of these facilities here. Therefore also less options for shuttle buses (ferry, boarder, etc). The room was good but we had a room with this connection door to another room, where sounds from direct neighbors can be heard through quite well. But overall pleasant stay.

Twin room: On the 8th floor, facing the road, diagonally opposite the Golden Lotus Square. Good soundproofing. The air conditioning doesn't provide heating, so if you're sensitive to cold, you can ask housekeeping for a portable heater. The bathrobes are comfortable. Breakfast: Not worth buying, it's very simple and not good value for money, nothing special to eat (unless you love typical Western breakfast food). Kids' Club: Has both indoor and outdoor areas, with a 2-hour time limit. It's miniature but fun. There are many small parks around the hotel, and these parks all have simple children's play equipment. It's very close to the Kun Iam Ecumenical Centre, which is great! Transportation: A taxi to the Border Gate costs MOP 55-60. A taxi to The Venetian costs MOP 100. It's very close to the Car Museum. Walking to Senado Square takes 20 minutes, and the Kun Iam Ecumenical Centre is also within walking distance. Dining: Lots of local restaurants where residents eat. Service: Not many Mandarin-speaking staff, but enough for our needs. Overall very good, I think it's great.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Choosing Studio City Celebrity Tower this time was absolutely the right decision! I originally booked a room without tickets, but then I found a package deal and bothered Ctrip customer service #JiangJiang multiple times. Thank you for your hard work in helping me switch packages! I also bothered the hotel's reservation department employee #Karina a few times, and I'm so grateful for your excellent service. You specifically helped me arrange a birthday setup for the room. The hotel housekeeping staff's service was also fantastic, which deeply touched me. I hope you all can maintain this level of service; the future looks bright. For families with kids visiting Macau, Celebrity Tower is a no-brainer. The rooms come with lots of complimentary snacks and instant noodles! If you have any special requests, remember to contact the reservations department #Karina in advance to arrange them. I hope the hotel pays more attention to its reservation department staff. This department, which conveys the brand's value solely through voice, deserves thanks for their attentive listening and feedback. I wish all your employees more care and appreciation.

Returned to this hotel again and loved it as always. It's an old hotel with a five-star feel. The service attitude is superb! 👍 The bellhops, front desk, and room service staff were all so warm and kind. This time, I traveled with three elderly relatives, specifically for my aunt's 75th birthday. When the front desk found out, they arranged for a birthday cake to be delivered 🎂, and it tasted wonderful. For our return trip, we booked the free shuttle to the airport. This travel experience was absolutely fantastic! There's a Macau Pui Kei Bakery inside the building too, with BBQ pork buns, chicken buns, and bread that are all incredibly delicious 😋. We even bought another birthday cake, and I believe it was made by the same pastry chef 🥳. **Facilities:** Old but charming. **Hygiene:** Quite good. We didn't need daily room cleaning, just towel changes and trash bag replacement. **Environment:** Because rooms were a bit tight and we wanted the elderly to see the fountain across the street, we checked into a smoking room. The hotel did a smoke-free treatment, but next time, I'll definitely opt for a non-smoking room again 😉. **Service:** Very enthusiastic, attentive, and excellent service quality. **Minibar:** Satisfied my love for drinks.

I chose this hotel for its convenient location for exploring the surrounding areas, and I really appreciated the spacious room and living space. However, the soundproofing was terrible; I was bothered by all sorts of noise every day, and even the pipes would randomly make noise. The toiletries felt really cheap. It's about a 1km walk to the Ruins of St. Paul's, and there's a bus stop right outside, which is quite convenient. Plus, the Café de Coral on the first floor offers delicious and affordable casual meals. If you enjoy dim sum, there's a great place diagonally opposite where you can have a fantastic meal for just over 100 [currency unit].

The best part was definitely the swimming pool: it's 25m long and about 1.5m deep. The water quality was good, and there were also three hot tubs for relaxation. In the changing rooms, they provided L'Occitane shampoo, shower gel, and body lotion. The bathtub in the room was quite large, and the magnifying mirror was a nice touch. The room decor was very European and had a 'girly' style. However, there were quite a few downsides: 1. The bed was too narrow; it was hard to turn over if you're not small. Both my friend and I experienced unbearable itching at night, which made it difficult to sleep. I'm not sure what was wrong with the duvet. 2. The standard twin room we checked into didn't have body lotion. 3. Some of the charging outlets were broken. 4. The bathroom door made a loud creaking noise when opening and closing, which would wake up the other person in the room. 5. The location is a bit out of the way, at the very end of Fisherman's Wharf, so you need a taxi to get to the city center. Overall, the value for money was still pretty good. It's worth noting that I stayed at three hotels over these three days, and the other two offered free room upgrades, whereas this hotel refused.

The hygiene was excellent, and the environment was decent. However, the front desk service was very mediocre. Once you've booked a room, you're expected to follow their rules with no flexibility whatsoever; in other words, they're quite rigid. The hotel's location is superb, right on Beijing Street, making it incredibly convenient for dining, shopping, and entertainment. The hotel facilities are pretty standard.

The hotel no longer offers a free shuttle to the Border Gate (Guanzha). My request for a room facing the park couldn't be accommodated. However, it's quite convenient to walk to the Lighthouse, Lou Lim Ieoc Garden, and *** from here. The rooms are clean and soundproofing is excellent. You have to ask the staff specifically for slippers. It was renovated in 2016, so it has a bit of an older feel, but it's very well-maintained and offers good value for money. The buffet breakfast restaurant has a nice view of the park.

Overall, my stay was very satisfying. The hotel room was easy to find and quite spacious. Danny even helped us with an upgrade! Our luggage was handled by a dedicated staff member who brought it to our room, though it did take a bit of time, about half an hour. When checking out, you can call ahead for someone to pick up your luggage and store it. Owen was very friendly and patiently explained everything. The only thing that could be improved is my friend mentioned the duvet was a bit thin. Also, finding our way to the Grand Canal for late-night snacks often led us astray. I'll definitely be back next time!

Cleanliness: Very clean. Environment: The room was spacious enough and directly overlooked the garden, starting the day off right! 💚💚💚 Spent two leisurely days in Macau, enjoying the Grand Lisboa Palace~~ The French garden here is absolutely stunning! This dreamlike sky garden feels like a secret garden from a European palace. The Baroque architecture beautifully contrasts with the lush green lawns and exquisite gardens surrounding it. It transports you back in time to old movie scenes of aristocratic weddings. Every corner is a fantastic backdrop for photos, and it's definitely become a popular spot for influencers. #GrandLisboaPalace

After exiting Gongbei Port, I took the Studio City bus and got off at Studio City Macau, which is right where the Grand Hyatt is located. All the staff were very professional and polite. The room was very clean, and our room directly faced MGM's golden lion statue 🦁. The entertainment noise started around 7:30 PM and usually ended by 12 AM. The hotel is located in the casino hub, so to try local delicacies, you'll need to head to the old town near Senado Square.

The lobby security was completely ineffective. They failed to intervene when disruptive guests were having a loud party, despite it clearly disturbing other guests. Not only that, but they also allowed unruly individuals to cut in front of guests who had been patiently waiting. Furthermore, I have serious suspicions about a flickering power outlet on the wall in front of the desk, facing the bed. Could a pinhole camera have been secretly installed there? It raises many questions.

Galaxy is really great for families with kids. The environment is excellent, and the room details and amenities are top-notch. They provide Bulgari toiletries, and the toothbrushes, razors, and slippers are all of high quality and very comfortable. The front desk staff is very professional and responsive to requests. I booked the room last minute for my child's birthday and only asked upon check-in if they could decorate the room a bit. They immediately handled it for me and even gave me Mid-Autumn Festival chocolate desserts. The hotel's kids' club has a great environment and plenty of activities, and the Grand Resort Deck is fun and incredibly photogenic—highly recommended! There are also many delicious dining options downstairs, making it super convenient to stay here with great food and shopping.

As a Mandarin Oriental fan, I specifically chose the Mandarin Oriental Macau for my birthday stay, and the actual experience lived up to my expectations. As one of the very few high-star hotels in Macau without a casino, the Mandarin Oriental is truly an ideal place to stay. Several details really stood out and earned extra points. First, during check-in, the front desk duty manager, Hallie, proactively recognized it was my birthday and reserved a tower-view room on the highest floor in advance. This kind of luxury service truly lies in these small details. After we arrived in our room, we noticed some stains and imperfections on the bedding. When we informed the front desk before heading out, they meticulously re-housekept the room. Later that evening, returning to our room, we found a heartfelt letter and a fan prepared by the hotel's guest relations manager, Melody, which was very touching. The ability to efficiently and professionally resolve issues, even when they arise, is what guests value most. Finally, on the day of checkout, I went to the gym and met Annie and Leo. Upon learning I wanted to purchase some hotel merchandise to take home, they specifically arranged for a colleague from the spa to open early for us. When I used the pool, Leo was incredibly enthusiastic and attentive throughout. These details were definitely a huge plus. I hope the hotel management recognizes these efficient and professional staff members and conveys our gratitude. Should I return to Macau, MO will still be my top choice.

It fells like max **** hotel. Definetely below the star rating on Trip. com The room has a wired shape, so it feels like small, crammed space. The TV is on the side wall, so you cannot watch it comfortably from the bed. There is no luxurious materials in the room, such as marble tabletops or unique art on the wall. It just screems: basic. In the minibar is ONLY coke and plain water. The bathtub is small. The ”japanese toilet” is just cheapest extension of the toilet cover. And the worst : BREAKFAST. For more than 200 MOP per person is a scam. You can get better selection in a random *** hotel at the airport. The quality of food is very low. Really, there is no cooking skill involved in preparation of this breakfast. And the worst for me: the coffee machine didn't wotk. No coffee = no breakfast. I feel frustrated, because I paid a lot of money and get something what was worth maximum 30% of the asking price. I DON'T RECCOMEND this hotel.

The overall experience at New Orient Landmark Hotel in Macau was excellent. The room was spacious and clean, the bedding was comfortable, and it was very quiet at night, allowing for a good rest. The front desk and customer service staff were all very friendly, efficient, and professional, making both check-in and check-out smooth. The hotel's location is also great, with convenient access to restaurants and supermarkets nearby, and it's easy to get around on foot. The facilities are well-maintained, and attention to detail is evident, which made for a very reassuring stay. Overall, it offers great value for money, and I would definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Macau.

My stay here was absolutely fantastic! The front desk staff were warm and professional, and check-in was quick and efficient. The room was spotless, and the bedding was so comfortable and soft that I slept soundly until I woke up naturally. The soundproofing was excellent; I couldn't hear any noise from the hallway. The breakfast spread was extensive, with a great variety of both Western and Chinese options – I particularly enjoyed the freshly made noodles. The location is superb, just a short walk to the subway station and shopping areas. The value for money is outstanding, with quality evident in every detail, like the complimentary mini-bar and turn-down service. I will definitely choose this hotel again for future business trips or vacations and will highly recommend it to my friends!

The hotel was clean, well-organized, and sufficient for our stay. It has a convenient location near the ferry terminal, though it’s not the best spot if you want to be close to major attractions — you’ll need to walk a bit. The beds were comfortable, the room was spacious, and the bathroom was clean and comfortable as well. The casino had a somewhat dated vibe, and we didn’t have time to check out the pool, but note that you’ll need to bring a hair cap if you plan to swim.

I originally booked a standard sea view room, but upon arrival, I was upgraded to an executive room for an additional 300 MOP over two nights. Coming from Hong Kong by ferry, the hotel's location right next to the pier made check-in incredibly convenient; it was just a 10-minute walk. The hotel is very large, like a castle. The room I stayed in was on the 3rd floor and had a musty smell, perhaps because it hadn't been occupied for a while or due to its proximity to the sea. Everything else was quite good, but don't expect a great view from the sea view room – the water is very murky and not particularly beautiful. The hotel staff were exceptionally warm and friendly, big thumbs up for their service! Taking a taxi from the hotel to Rua do Cunha cost 110 MOP, and to the Ruins of St. Paul's cost 45 MOP. The area around the hotel is a bit desolate and not very lively at night, as it's a residential area.

The hotel boasts an excellent location and is very quiet on a high floor, offering great value for money. The service was attentive. Right outside, there are plenty of options for quick bites and local snacks. Getting a taxi to the ferry terminal is quick and convenient. For those traveling from Macau to West Kowloon (High-Speed Rail Station) or Harbour City, taking a ferry to the appropriate passenger terminal is the most convenient option. However, if you arrive at the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal, it's best to go to Sheung Wan MTR station to connect to the subway. Do be prepared for a fair bit of walking in Hong Kong!

They have the best location. Strategically located in the middle of the casino strip and surrounded with many restaurants and right beside WYNN!! Super love the area. The staff at the reception and the restaurant are so friendly and helpful! Very comfortable place to stay. We will definitely stay here again next trip. So accessible to everywhere and great team at reception, housekeeping and their resto bar!

Overall, it was better than expected; not as dated as I thought. There wasn't a musty smell in the room, but the air freshener was a bit overpowering. However, it is an 80s hotel after all, so it's definitely not modern.

Our room was being upgraded to a suite, thanks a lot! It was spacious and felt very nice. Though this hotel has no casino and shuttle bus, it is well worth the money. Near to the Oceanus where we can fully utilize their buses. Near to the outer passenger port where buses of almost all casinos come here and one can easily hop on to those buses. Near to the Sands too. A very pleasure experience staying here. There are restaurants and supermarkets nearby too.

This was my first stay at a Four Seasons hotel, specifically the Qi Jia branch. I chose it to propose to my fiancée, and the entire experience was absolutely perfect, exceeding all expectations. Everything was custom-made, from the room decoration to the room service; the whole process was flawless and full of surprises and touching moments. A big thank you to Minnie and her concierge team! 💓💓💓

This was my second stay at Wynn, and the experience was a bit disappointing. I arrived at 1:30 PM to check in, but was told rooms wouldn't be ready until 3:00 PM. When I returned at 3:10 PM, the room still hadn't been cleaned, and I eventually only got into my room closer to 4:00 PM. During check-in, I was asked if I preferred a smoking room, which I confirmed. However, when I received my room key, I was told the reservation notes indicated a non-smoking room, which was quite frustrating. On a different note, the mini-bar drinks in the room are advertised as complimentary. However, there's a small print notice at the bottom stating that if any item is removed for more than 60 seconds, it will be automatically charged to the room.

This is my third stay here, and Grand Lisboa is definitely the GOAT of Macau! Everything from the facilities to the service is absolutely top-notch. The location is excellent, perfect for exploring the peninsula on foot. The hotel lobby is always bustling with tourists during the day. The kids absolutely loved the jetted bathtub, and the toiletries are fantastic. The view from the sea-view room window is also amazing.

Our stay at the Grand Coloane Resort was the peaceful escape we were craving. Perched on a mountainside, love the stunning vistas of Hac Sa Beach from our private balcony—it felt a world away from Macau's bustling casinos. The colonial charm is real, but we loved the modern comforts in our spacious room. We made full use of the amazing facilities; the pools were a highlight. A special shout-out to the incredible staff—from the moment we booked to the attentive housekeeping, everyone made us feel so welcome; Sai, Victor and our housekeeper at Room 509, you made our birthday celebration truly special. The breakfast buffet is an absolute must, with a great mix of international and local dishes. You might notice a few signs of its age, but we felt it only added to the character. It’s the perfect blend of relaxation and activity, and we’re already dreaming of going back.

Came here for my birthday. I emailed them in advance, and they gave us a room with an Eiffel Tower view. However, I can't accept that we only got into our room at 4 PM. We had to check out at 11 AM the next day. Even though they prepared a cake and other things, I don't understand why it took an extra hour, especially since I had communicated via email beforehand that it was for my birthday. Waiting downstairs for a whole hour was exhausting. The mint tea was a pleasant surprise; a hot cup after a drink was quite refreshing. But there were no mint tea bags in the room; the butler said they only had them downstairs and we just needed to call to have them sent up. This was my first stay. The spending credit mentioned on Xiaohongshu wasn't available, perhaps because I booked through Ctrip. So, considering the room rate, it wasn't as good a deal as what travel agencies in Zhuhai offer. The 6 PM champagne ritual in the evening was very nice. I brought my own disposable bathtub liner for a bath. Facilities: The hairdryer seriously needs to be replaced. It's not powerful enough and is very inconvenient for people with long hair; it takes forever to dry your hair.

Stayed one night in Macau. The hotel location was quite easy to find, and public transport was very convenient. The facilities were also excellent, exceeding my expectations. There's a dim sum restaurant downstairs. I'll definitely come back again!

This was my first stay at Hotel Arc de Triomphe, and I spent four nights there – I was very satisfied. 1: The handsome guy at the front desk was super friendly. I asked for a smoking room, and he proactively upgraded me to a large suite. It felt incredibly luxurious to have it all to myself. 2: The scent in the elevator, room, and on the bedding was very pleasant and comfortable. 3: The bathroom was spacious, and the hot water was plentiful and very hot, especially great for a nice soak in the tub. 4: The location is exceptional, right across from Wynn, MGM Cotai, and next to StarWorld. For those looking for entertainment, it's a real bonus – you can go whenever you want and return whenever you like, offering great flexibility to manage your wins and losses. The hotel also has a casino, but it's smaller and a bit tricky to find your way around. 5: Breakfast was decent, nothing spectacular but perfectly fine. There are tons of dining options nearby, so you'll never go hungry. Personally, I think this is the top choice when visiting Macau, unless you're a high roller. 6: The facilities are a bit older, but they are very well-maintained, so there's absolutely no need to worry. 7: The room comes equipped with a universal adapter.

Hotel is old and tired, need renovation badly. However room is clean and tidy. Reception service was so-so and not welcoming. Check-in was good though, just the night time when approached another receptionist for my own room number but was given a cold and not welcoming reply. It was normal for guest to forget their own room numbers as they don’t stay permanently. However a simple way to verify was guest able to give his identity numbers and name. Or hotel can always accompany the guest to the room to verify. However this guy was so unpleasant and blunt in his replied. Will not stay again in this hotel.

The location is fantastic, very close to the Ruins of St. Paul's and incredibly convenient for public transport. The main thing is that it's great value for money. The hotel is on a slope, but that's typical for Macau with all its ups and downs. Exceeded my expectations!

The room is very spacious and comfortable, clean and hygienic. The bathroom's wet and dry separation is very convenient. Families with children might want to consider some of the themed rooms. Downstairs there's a shopping mall with a tea restaurant and convenience store, making it very easy to grab food or other items and bring them back to the room. There's a bus stop right in front of the hotel, and the East Asian Games Dome light rail station is also within walking distance. Highly recommended! 👍
