4-Star Hotels in Macau, China

Arrived at the hotel at 11 AM and the front desk staff were incredibly welcoming, helping us check in early and even upgrading us to a business room. The room wasn't huge, but the layout was very efficient, with distinct areas for the bathroom, sleeping, and a small living space. Everything was spotless and comfortable. The hotel's location is super convenient for transport. It's right next to the Sands Hotel, and just a short walk to catch a bus from Sands directly to The Venetian, The Londoner, and The Parisian. Lotus Square is right next to the hotel, and behind it is Macau Polytechnic University. If you want to visit the Ruins of St. Paul's, it's about a twenty-minute walk. Fisherman's Wharf is directly opposite the hotel, and there's a bus stop right on the side of the hotel, making getting around incredibly easy. For this price, given the location and the hotel's quality, I'd definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Macau.

Absolutely fantastic! **Amenities:** The retro style is amazing, and the light switches are a unique touch – very Instagrammable! You can totally have a photoshoot in the room, haha. **Cleanliness:** Spotless! The cleaning staff were very thorough and friendly. **Environment:** Superb! The decor is wonderful, and the location is excellent – very lively. The hotel is right behind the Ruins of St. Paul's, which is bustling with people and food stalls. It's even more lively and has better food than Rua do Cunha! **Service:** I can't praise it enough! Both front desk staff members I encountered were incredibly professional and enthusiastic. There's even a staff member on the ground floor who opens the door and directs you to the 4th-floor lobby for check-in (it's a bit unconventional). On the 4th floor, another staff member helps you with the elevator. The check-in process was so convenient and welcoming. **Breakfast:** The service and ambiance were great, but the food itself was just okay, nothing particularly mind-blowing. On a side note, I followed the hotel's recommendations in their little booklet and tried a noodle shop nearby – it was SO good! Small place, but authentically delicious (at least, I really loved it! 😋)

I came to Macau for an IVE concert and stayed at three hotels (Grand Emperor, Altira, and Hotel Taipa Square). I originally thought Hotel Taipa Square would just be a one-night stopover, but it ended up exceeding my expectations the most! First, the overall hotel style is very modern and convenient. After check-in, the front desk kindly arranged a room upgrade for us, which I greatly appreciate! 👍🏻 Secondly, regarding the deposit, Hotel Taipa Square was the most thoughtful. Mainland Alipay is accepted, and they use a freeze function, so the freeze automatically lifts after check-out (unlike a certain five-star hotel that insists on cash for deposits 🙄, which is very outdated). The room itself was also very clean and tidy. Though small, it had everything you needed and felt very secure 👍🏻. There's also a window with a view of Taipa's night scenery, quiet and peaceful~ It's located in the northern part of Taipa, but the surrounding neighborhood is very convenient, with many convenience stores and breakfast shops downstairs. It's also very close to the Light Rail Transit station and bus stops. Regarding power outlets, Hotel Taipa Square's own outlets are universal, so there's no need to bring an adapter, and it's not recommended to use one (there are warnings). You can also store your luggage for free after check-out, and the service is very professional. All in all, it's a fantastic hotel 🏨 with excellent value for money.

Every time we renew our child's passport, we stay here. It's super convenient for getting things done, there are lots of food options nearby, and it's easy to get to the border crossing. Plus, the hotel offers shuttle service. Oh, and the egg tarts in the lobby are absolutely delicious!

The hotel's location is convenient, and the staff are warm and attentive. The room service is also great, offering good value for money and delicious food. The transport guide provided at the front desk was a thoughtful touch. However, the overall room facilities are quite old, and I even found false eyelashes on the carpet. This definitely needs improvement.

The room decor is nice, it has a bathtub, and the bedding is comfortable. You can ask for an extra set of toiletries. The scent in the room is pleasant. The shuttle bus goes to the border gate and Grand Lisboa Palace, and from Grand Lisboa Palace, it's quite convenient to get around.

In late May, I took a ferry from Hong Kong's Sheung Wan pier to Macau's Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal, then walked 20 minutes to the Rio Hotel. The hotel strictly enforces its 3 PM check-in policy, and there were many guests waiting to check in at that time, so we all had to queue up. The standard room was very spacious (much more so than Hong Kong hotels). I booked the hotel through Trip.com for an average of CNY 450 per night, which included breakfast for two (the breakfast was decent and suited to average tastes). The hotel is very close to Macau's famous landmark, the Ruins of St. Paul's, and is within walking distance. After checking out this morning, I stored my luggage and spent most of the day exploring Taipa. To get back to mainland China via the Gongbei Port, you can hitch a ride on the shuttle bus from the neighboring hotel. I visited Taiwan in 2019, and now that I've explored Hong Kong and Macau, I've checked off all the boxes for my travels!

Traveling with a friend after the May Day holiday, I booked two rooms – one with twin beds and one with a king bed. There was a connecting door between them. I called the front desk and asked them to open it, instantly turning them into a convenient suite for interacting, yet we could close the door for privacy when resting. The hotel is surprisingly quiet despite being in a bustling area. The rooms are clean, and the beds are very comfortable. I booked without breakfast, opting instead to explore the streets and alleys for a unique Portuguese-style breakfast, which was a wonderful experience. Upon returning to Gongbei Port, I booked a shuttle at the lobby for a specific time. The 8-seater car was very comfortable, much better than taking a random taxi to the port. The driver's service was excellent, a definite commendation!

The hygiene is good, and the sea-view breakfast environment is pleasant. It's convenient to get there by taking the Galaxy Shuttle and crossing the skybridge after getting off. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to The Venetian, but it only runs a few times a day. The facilities are a bit old, especially the hairdryer. A deposit of 500 MOP is required, payable only by Alipay or cash, WeChat is not accepted. The service is decent; I didn't have a power adapter for charging, and they sent one up immediately.

The location is a bit out of the way, on the southernmost tip of Taipa. Since it doesn't have a casino, there aren't many shuttle buses. If you want to catch a free shuttle, you have to walk ten minutes to the Grand Lisboa Palace next door. The upside is that it's relatively quiet, and there are shopping malls and activities like ziplining nearby. Checking in, we really encountered a 'gem' of a person. The hotel has a large main reception and a small side desk. Being unfamiliar with the layout, we mistakenly went to the small desk. The 'gem' saw us with our daughter and asked if we smoked. I said no. Then this 'kind' gentleman 'graciously' gave us a room on the fourth floor, even mentioning it was a non-smoking floor. Does this hotel have many smoking floors, I wonder? Upon entering the room and opening the window, I was truly shocked. Having stayed in countless hotels, I've rarely seen a view like this. A row of massive pipes made me feel like I was on the rooftop of some factory. Dragging our suitcases back down to the main reception to express our dissatisfaction, we waited for ages again before they finally switched us to a different room. The room facilities were just so-so. Breakfast was decent, located in the connected shopping mall, with a few options to choose from.
