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!

This is my second stay here, and I'll definitely choose it again if I'm ever in the area. It's incredibly convenient. There are several large supermarkets downstairs, and a bus stop right there. The border crossing is only a seven or eight-minute walk away. Plus, it's not expensive.

## 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 tidy. There's a self-service laundry for MOP 50 for 3 hours. The location is close to the Ruins of St. Paul's and many other attractions, all within walking distance. I accidentally deleted the room photos, but the room itself was great – it had a window, a sofa, and you don't need an adapter for the plugs. There's also a mini coffee machine, a small fridge, and slippers provided.

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 room was clean and tidy, and the front desk staff were efficient and provided excellent service. The hotel's free breakfast was plentiful. This morning I couldn't get up, so I had my mom pack it for me to eat in the room, and it was free of charge! This is my second time staying here, and it will be my first choice every time I come to Macau. It's very close to hotels like StarWorld, Wynn, Grand Lisboa, and MGM, just a few minutes' walk away! The best part is that several restaurants near the hotel are quite affordable. I recommend trying ”Three Little Pigs”; they have a wide variety of dishes and it's great value for money – you won't be disappointed!

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!

This is my nth time staying at the Grand View Hotel. I requested a room with a view of the airplanes, and the front desk was very helpful in changing it for me. It's super convenient for getting takeout and transportation is great. The room is small, but it has everything you need.
