3-Star Hotels in Macau

The room was neat, bright, and clean. Although not large, it was well-equipped and very comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful, and there's even a rooftop garden. It's very close to the city center, yet surprisingly quiet. Located on a hillside, it's perfect for those who enjoy walking and getting some exercise. A short walk further up the hill leads to a park with panoramic views of the entire city. The hotel also offers a transfer service, making it very convenient for getting to your next destination.

This hotel is my go-to whenever I'm in Macau, and I've given it great reviews many times before. However, this time I hit a snag. The hotel offers a free shuttle bus to the Border Gate (roughly every hour). We were waiting in the lobby 40 minutes early, and the shuttle did arrive on time. But then it took a winding route, picking up people at multiple stops, not at all like a direct car or public bus route. A trip that should have taken less than 20 minutes ended up taking over an hour to reach the Border Gate! What's more, where we were dropped off wasn't directly at the Border Gate entrance; we had to lug our luggage up and down stairs and walk a bit to even see the Border Gate. We almost missed our departure.

The non-smoking room type I booked wasn't available, so I had to pay extra to upgrade my room. It was much more spacious and worth it, though the window faced a residential area and it felt like I could almost touch the windows across the way. The lobby isn't big but there were dozens of people queuing, and the service was decent with someone managing the line. It's a ten-minute walk to Rua do Cunha, and there's a bus stop right outside, making it very convenient to get to several places and Coloane Village.

I chose the Hotel Sintra in Macau Peninsula, and its location is indeed convenient. There's a bus stop right across the street, and it's only a few minutes' walk to Fisherman's Wharf. The room was more spacious than I expected, very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The lobby was bright and tidy, with complimentary tea available. Downstairs, there's a souvenir shop and a supermarket, and plenty of dining options nearby. After check-out, we could store our luggage for free, which was great as we didn't have to drag our suitcases around. For the price, staying at this hotel was definitely worth it.

The only downside, and what left the worst impression, was the Chinese-speaking front desk staff member on our second night. I just asked how to get water, and she responded with a terrible attitude and great impatience, like 'what else did you expect?'. The front desk's job is service and first impressions. Even the cleaning staff were more polite than her. This was really bad. Other than that, the hotel was perfect. The bed was huge, the bathroom was very clean, and I slept really well.

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic – super convenient for getting around. It's just a stone's throw from Wynn and Grand Lisboa, and there's a bus stop right outside the door where you can get anywhere for just 6 yuan. It's an older 4-star hotel, but a big plus is that the shower isn't in a bathtub, which is great. I'd definitely stay here again on my next visit. The front desk staff were very polite, and the bellhops at the entrance were also excellent.

The hotel's location is fantastic, less than a ten-minute walk from the Gongbei Port of Entry. The room was clean and tidy, the facilities were brand new, and the staff were very friendly. It offers great value for money, and I'd definitely book here again on my next trip to Macau.

The room was nice, clean, and tidy, and the service attitude was good too. The air conditioning didn't stop even when the room card wasn't inserted, which was great for instantly cooling down the room and feeling comfortable on a hot summer day. The price was also reasonable, and it was convenient to get around from the hotel.

## Location: Absolutely a fantastic 5-star location! The hotel is directly opposite Sands, and Fisherman's Wharf is right next to Sands. March is the off-peak season in Macau, so there's no direct bus from Hengqin Port to Sands. You need to transfer at The Venetian, but it's still quite convenient. From Sands to the hotel, you have to cross a pedestrian bridge, but there's a 24-hour elevator. Once you exit the elevator, it's not a long walk in either direction, which is very helpful for travelers with luggage. ## Surroundings: To the right of the hotel, there's a small alley that leads directly to Macao Polytechnic University, less than 100 meters away, making it super convenient for students taking exams there. A 5-minute walk to the left will take you to the Lotus Square, and you can also see the Golden Lotus from the pathway behind the hotel. If you head right out of the hotel and walk straight down the main road for 15-20 minutes, you can reach the Grand Lisboa and Macau Tower. There are plenty of dining options nearby, probably due to its proximity to the university, with choices for all budgets. ## Facilities: The hotel reception is on the second floor. The interior facilities are complete, and the bedding and amenities are good. The room also has a refrigerator. The room isn't huge but doesn't feel cramped. ## Hygiene: The room was cleaned very well and felt comfortable. However, the windows are sealed, so upon first entering, there was a slight musty smell due to lack of ventilation. Thankfully, it dissipated after turning on the air conditioning and ventilation system. ## Environment: The hallway soundproofing isn't great; you can hear people walking and talking outside the room. Traffic noise from the street outside also comes through at night. However, this seems to be a common issue with hotels and can't be avoided. ## Service: The front desk staff are busy but very responsible, and they can switch between Mandarin and Cantonese freely for guests. A deposit is required for check-in, and Alipay is accepted.

The Hotel is clean and simple with big rooms and cold A/C but no coffee only tea and water with free sample cookies , breakfast is ok but offering the same everyday and not serving American like bread and butter , pancakes, ham and bacon or sausages only pure chinese cuisine and limited drinks . when you check in they will asked for a deposit of MOP 500 either by cash or credit card even if you have prepaid the rooms way in advance . Until now the amount has not been credited back to my debit card since I checked out 2 days ago.
