3-Star Hotels in Macau, China

Came for a concert. I have to say, getting around was super convenient. Right downstairs there's a restaurant called 'Yang Zhi Jin Lao' and a bus stop. Taking the bus loop made it easy to get anywhere. However! They said check-in was at 3 PM! We arrived at 3:45 PM and had to wait quite a while in the lobby... And then I still had to rush to finish a proposal before going to the concert. So frustrating!

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.

## 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.

Zika, Ying, and Yoyo Mia were all excellent, providing thoughtful service. Ying, in particular, was very considerate during evening check-in, asking if we preferred a king or twin bed and upgrading our room type. The room was clean and quite unique, clearly well-designed, with two toilets – one near the entrance and another in the room, which was very convenient. The first floor also offers a fun graffiti wall. Overall, we were very satisfied.

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 room was generally okay. I booked the cheapest room for a bargain and paid an extra 50 to upgrade to a room with a window. The biggest advantage of this hotel is its excellent location, making it very convenient for shopping. The room's cleanliness was very good, but the floor drain wasn't sealed properly, leading to a noticeable bad odor. Also, the shower gel dispenser was hard to press; it only dispensed a pea-sized amount with each press, so you had to press it many times. The room size was neither too big nor too small, which is decent for the Hong Kong and Macau region. The TV was an older model, and there weren't many channels available. I didn't book breakfast, but there are plenty of convenient dining options nearby. Overall, if you're looking for great value, this is a good choice. I'll definitely book this hotel again in the future.

The moment I opened the room door, I felt relieved. Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the pristine white sheets, and even the creases gleamed with cleanliness. The bathroom tile grout was sparkling clean, and the neatly folded towels were still warm from sterilization. What truly put my germaphobe mind at ease was that the carpet didn't have even the slightest odor. The service was excellent, and the hotel is very close to the attractions with convenient transportation, as the bus stop is right next door.

Hotel is easily from taipa ferry terminal by taking buses AP1 and 36. Many eateries around the area. Walking distance to taipa walking street where there are lots of food, souvenirs and specialities deom macau. It is a distance (20 min) from the venetian and Galaxy hotels but you can walk through the taipa street. There is a LRT station opposite Galaxy hotels. The room is spacious and the hotel upgraded my room. They also have free shuttle service to gongbei border if you want to go to Zhuhai. The only problem is the musty smell in the hotel foyer and along the corridor. There are also not enough hangers in the toilet to hang your clothes.

The rooms are nice and very clean, the deluxe double room has a sofa and a refrigerator; each room has mainland charging sockets. There's a restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, and a sky garden on the rooftop, which is a bit small. The service is also very good. The location is next to Guia Lighthouse hill, which might be a bit out of the way for some people, but getting around is still convenient. The hotel offers shuttle buses to some attractions, and there's a public bus stop next to the basement level. It's about 900 meters to Senado Square and Grand Lisboa on foot, but the path to the hotel is uphill. There's an elevator that goes directly to the hotel entrance from one point. I'm very satisfied with this trip!

Walking into the room, I was pleasantly surprised! It was so tidy, clean, and bright. I honestly didn't expect much from a hotel so close to the airport, but everything I saw was lovely. The view from the window was also refreshing. Even though it's practically next door to the airport, it wasn't noisy at all; it was very quiet at night. Getting around was super convenient too. I'd definitely consider staying here again next time!
