3-Star Hotels in Macau, China

Overall, this is a solid three-star hotel. The facilities and service met expectations. Its location in the old town means the surrounding buildings look a bit run-down, which might be a bit jarring visually. There are two bus stops just a short walk away, which was really convenient since ride-hailing in Macau is difficult to get – we used the bus for all our outings over three days. There are also plenty of breakfast spots nearby selling Cantonese congee, rice rolls, turnip cake, and fried dough sticks, so you won't go hungry. However, I do have a few suggestions: 1. The lobby always had a mixed smell of new paint (TVOC) and cooking fumes. I hope they can investigate the cause. 2. There didn't seem to be any tissues in the room. 3. Our triple room was unexpectedly upgraded to a quad room with an extra bed after I booked, which was great. However, the extra bed was placed under the TV, so we moved the two beds ourselves to combine them. Finally, a big shout-out to the washer and dryer combo – it was incredibly useful!

True to the Holiday Inn standard! First off, the front desk staff were incredibly thorough and thoughtful during check-in. The room was spacious and bright, easily accommodating two 28-inch suitcases laid open without any issue. The bedding was top-notch, and the bathroom was spotless with no hidden corners. Our room rate included breakfast, and the restaurant was well-managed with staff seating guests, offering a rich, tasty, and distinctive breakfast spread. But what truly stood out was the hotel's direct check-in and baggage drop-off service for Qantas guests – a huge thank you for that!

The facilities are complete, it's clean and hygienic, and the environment is decent. Check-in was quick. It's very convenient to find food downstairs. I heard AI say that you can walk to MGM Cotai and Wynn Palace via the skybridge in just fifteen minutes, but when I reached the end of the skybridge, it was a metro station and I didn't know how to proceed. After getting off the bridge, I navigated myself to Galaxy. I suggest the hotel creates a recommended walking route map to nearby casinos, which would likely be more convenient for guests.

We spontaneously decided to visit Macau during the May Day holiday, and since we were traveling with a child, I looked for a hotel with convenient transportation. We entered through the Hengqin Port, took bus 25B to Grand Lisboa, and then it was just a few hundred meters walk to the hotel. The hotel's decor had a very authentic Macanese style, with a quaint charm. The room was spacious and cozy, and the cleanliness was excellent, with no missed spots and a very clean carpet. The breakfast, in particular, was truly outstanding. It felt like a proper breakfast restaurant, offering very authentic Macanese dim sum with substantial ingredients. Each person could order two steamed dishes and one noodle dish (rice vermicelli or regular noodles). The cream bun was delicious, even better than those from a bakery. The beef brisket ho fun was also very flavorful. The beef tripe and curry squid were fantastic, and the shrimp dumplings were packed with whole, large shrimp. It was truly excellent. Even at check-out, my child said they hadn't had enough of the breakfast yet.

## 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.

Hotel is located just nearby Grand Lisbon ******, in a very city center. Room is clear and tidy. Comfortable beds and bed sheets. Breakfast was not so so rich, but for sure enough. The only thing that was a bit uncomfortable- a very poor amenities: tiny bath foam and and hair conditioner, home shoes and 2 bottles of water and thats all. At least tooth brushes would be great. Also, pay attention to have enough cash or not Chinese credit cards for psyment, hotel requires 500 mop deposit for your stay. For foreigners it could be an issue.

The room has a capybara theme and is very clean, tidy, and beautiful. There are also adorable capybara plushies and throw pillows, making it feel very cozy and comfortable. The hotel's location is excellent, close to nearby tourist attractions. The staff, Wilson, Delia, Margarida, and Lily, are also very friendly. I loved it and will definitely stay here again next time I visit. Highly recommended! 👍🏻👏🏻😊

Booked a triple room. The location is excellent, within walking distance to the Ruins of St. Paul's. Getting there from the airport was also very convenient; just take the Grand Lisboa shuttle and transfer to the Grand Lisboa Palace shuttle, and you'll arrive quickly. Breakfast was average, but overall it was very good.

Hotel Location: The hotel is situated halfway up a hill, very close to Hotel Royal. I originally intended to book Hotel Royal, but decided on Hotel Guia instead because it offers a shuttle bus service to the border gate. It turned out to be a great location. Heading up the hill from the hotel entrance takes you to Guia Lighthouse and Guia Hill Park, perfect for active travelers. Walking down the hill, you're very close to the 'King of Gambling's' photo spot, and there's a 7-Eleven and small supermarket nearby, along with a variety of restaurants. Further down the stairs is Tap Seac Square, and it's also a short walk to the Ruins of St. Paul's. This location was incredibly convenient for my work. Hotel Facilities: The hotel has a charming, old-world feel, like something from the last century, with a rustic, aged character. The showerhead is a fixed,莲蓬-style spray, and there's a bathtub and wooden sliding doors. Overall, it's clean and tidy, with a mini-fridge to chill drinks. The room isn't huge, but it's perfectly adequate, and there's enough space by the window to fully open a large suitcase. There's a lovely little rooftop terrace with cute decor; sitting up there for a drink and a breeze in the evening would be very pleasant. Hotel Restaurant: There's a very popular restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel. It seems to attract not only hotel guests but also many outside diners. Hotel Service: All the staff I encountered were excellent and professional, never showing any negative emotions. The hotel shuttle driver was also very helpful, reminding me to use the pedestrian walkway ahead to avoid a fine. Many thanks to them. I would definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit.

The staff were quite nice, and when I checked in at noon, the room seemed pretty good in all aspects. But then, after I came back from exploring in the evening, the nightmare began! As soon as I entered the room, there was a faint smell of smoke, but I wasn't sure where it was coming from, so I just assumed it was wafting in from outside the window (not asking to check or change rooms at that point was a big mistake). Then, around 11 or 12 o'clock, when I was getting ready for bed, the smoke smell became increasingly strong. After searching around for a long time, I finally confirmed it was almost certainly coming through the bathroom's exhaust fan or ventilation system!!! Since I was traveling alone, I didn't dare call someone to follow up in the middle of the night. I just suffered through the night until daylight, had breakfast, and left immediately. Ambiance: Smoke smell! Smoke smell! Smoke smell! Super strong! If you have rhinitis, you absolutely must avoid this place! It was so unbearable, like torture (it must have been the smoke coming from the exhaust fan in the picture 🚬).
