End of summer vacation, two families with a total of six people. We always choose The Londoner whenever we go to Macau, but this time we couldn't book a room there, so we reluctantly chose Grand Lisboa Palace. It turned out to be exactly as the negative online reviews said.
First bad point: We only got our room after 4 PM, and there was nowhere to rest in the lobby.
Second bad point: The lobby fragrance was too strong, triggering my nasal allergies.
Third bad point: My friends were staying on the 15th floor, but the hotel refused to grant us access to that floor.
Fourth bad point: The room was dirty, the comforter was unclean, there were items left by the previous guest in the bathroom, and the floor was sticky, making it feel like my feet were getting stuck when walking.
Fifth bad point: The soundproofing was absolutely terrible. I could clearly hear people talking outside the door, and there were strange 'thumping' noises in the room in the middle of the night, just as mentioned online.
Sixth bad point: The buffet breakfast didn't have anything I wanted to eat, and the dining environment wasn't good. They charged half price for children, which most hotels I've stayed at usually offer for free.
Seventh bad point: The black wardrobe looked like a coffin, even the children said so. It was full of creepy elements, and the decor was ugly; I certainly couldn't appreciate it.
In summary: Among all the luxury hotels I've stayed in, this was the worst. It can't compare to The Londoner Macao, nor can it compare to luxury hotels in mainland China. I will definitely not come back, ever.
