True to its reputation as an established five-star hotel, it was an excellent stay! The bellboy proactively helped with my luggage, and the service was very warm and friendly. They even gave me a free room upgrade! Every staff member I encountered would nod and greet me, and also reminded me about steps. My non-smoking room didn't have any smoke smell, and it was very clean. The only minor drawback was that the soundproofing in the hallway wasn't particularly great. I'll definitely choose this place again next time! 😊FromBRL 536

I requested a high-floor, quiet room, but despite being upgraded to a sea view, I was given a low-floor room right next to a noisy fan. The booming sound kept me awake almost all night until I switched rooms. There's an old street across the road with plenty of dining options, which is convenient. However, the buses outside are always packed, making it almost impossible to get on; you'll have to rely on walking or taking a taxi. The room had a slightly damp smell. If you're looking to shop, I wouldn't recommend staying here.FromBRL 408

Our family had an unforgettable stay at the Venetian Hotel. The place itself is stunning, with amazing views of the building and the Parisian and Londoner-style areas right across from it. It's very family-friendly since you don't even have to leave the hotel to experience the vibrant European vibe. Everything is right inside, so you can just stroll around, relax, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
The food court is on level 3 and offers a wide variety of options, from Asian to European cuisines, so there's something for everyone.
We also really appreciated the friendly staff at the reception and the housekeeping team who made our stay even more pleasant. It was definitely worth it, and we would happily come back again.FromBRL 974

This time, I made a last-minute booking at Holiday Inn Macau. During check-in, Mr. Wang at the front desk was professional and efficient. After understanding my situation, he proactively upgraded me to an executive floor suite. He wasn't overtly enthusiastic, but his attention to detail made me feel genuinely valued.
It happened to be the fourth day of the ***** New Year, and in the morning, the hotel had a lion dance and a 'God of Wealth' performance. The atmosphere was lively but not chaotic – a nice, ceremonial touch. The executive floor was relatively quiet, making for a comfortable and relaxing stay overall.
What truly left an impression on me was what happened afterward. After checking out, I realized I had left my ring in the room, which naturally made me anxious. Upon contacting the hotel, the housekeeping manager quickly helped confirm its location and retrieve it. The entire communication process was efficient, and the sense of reassurance brought by such professionalism was more important than any physical amenity.FromBRL 286

The hotel environment is fantastic, and the service is excellent. The room seems to have been renovated, looking exactly like the pictures advertised – very clean and hygienic. I stayed with my parents, and for three of us, it was practical and convenient. The spacious bathroom is particularly noteworthy, featuring both a shower and a bathtub with a wet/dry separation. The hotel breakfast also offers a wide variety of delicious options. We stayed during the Spring Festival, and there was no deposit required. We also received complimentary fruit and cookies, and check-out was very fast.FromBRL 343

I unexpectedly ended up with a ”sea-view sunrise room”!
The service was very attentive. I chose this hotel for two reasons: firstly, it's an InterContinental Hotels Group brand, and everything from the cleanliness to the facilities and room layout felt very professional. Secondly, the location is perfect; it's very close to the port, and there are shuttle buses to Gongbei and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, making both check-in and departure very convenient. The breakfast gets a five-star rating!FromBRL 423

Upon checking in, the lady staff member warmly spent half an hour showing us to our room and introducing us to everything Macau has to offer, from dining and entertainment to shopping. In the evening, there was turn-down service, and they neatly arranged all my belongings. I honestly couldn't believe it when I saw my tech bag – every single cable was coiled up and organized, and they even provided a mouse pad for my mouse! Housekeeping really went above and beyond! 👍 The bed was incredibly comfortable, and every staff member I encountered throughout the entire Galaxy complex, from the shopping mall to the hotel, was incredibly nice and friendly. I'll definitely stay here again on my next trip to Macau!FromBRL 907

The room was excellent: spacious, clean, bright, and very comfortable. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly, and there were no issues with the room itself or the comfort of the stay.
However, the level of welcome was completely inconsistent with the hotel's standard and price.
First, they required a deposit upon check-in. This seems odd for a hotel of this category, especially since they simply refuse to let you in without one.
Second, check-in is only until 3:00 PM. For me, that's quite late—I travel a lot, and at hotels of this caliber, I often find more flexible or early check-in.
Overall, the room itself and the accommodations were very good, but the check-in process left a bad impression.FromBRL 307

I had a truly enjoyable stay at the Grand Lisboa. The hotel’s iconic design immediately sets the tone grand, unique, and full of character. The interior feels just as impressive, with a sense of classic luxury that makes the whole experience memorable.
A special thank‑you to the team for offering us an upgrade. This thoughtful gesture made a huge difference to our stay. The upgraded room was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, with a great view that added to the overall enjoyment. It genuinely elevated the entire experience and made our time at the hotel feel even more special.

The front desk staff seemed a bit new and check-in was slow. Even though I showed them my child's ID, they didn't proactively note down that we'd need amenities like slippers for the kid. I had to call down to request them after we got to the room and realized they weren't there. I wouldn't really recommend this place if you're traveling with children. On the bright side, the shopping downstairs is super convenient, and the vouchers and minibar were pretty good. Room service was excellent too. Breakfast portions were huge – I didn't realize and ordered too much, which felt a bit wasteful. Hopefully, next time they'll mention the generous sizing. The food itself tasted really good though.FromBRL 3,141

This hotel is located on the southeast side of Macau Peninsula's old town, close to the sea. The rooms, lobby, and hallways are all luxurious and grand, with golden decorations and a magnificent golden dragon coiling around the dome. It's a 4-star luxury hotel that feels more like a 5-star. The guest rooms are quite spacious, and during Chinese New Year, they provided complimentary drinks and snacks, which was a nice touch. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel, making it convenient to get to many popular tourist attractions. For food, there are plenty of traditional eateries offering Portuguese egg tarts, pork chop buns, Portuguese and Hong Kong-style cafes, and old family-run shops, all with excellent flavors. On the morning of the eighth day of Chinese New Year, when I checked out, the female manager at the front desk, dressed in a black suit, proactively asked about my airport transfer and helped me call a taxi. She also informed me about the estimated fare, and when she learned I didn't have small change, she kindly exchanged some MOP for me. The taxi arrived quickly, and two male bellhops helped me put my luggage in the trunk. The manager even came to the hotel entrance to remind me not to forget my luggage when getting off and waved goodbye. Her genuine and enthusiastic service was truly exceptional.

I stayed at Altira Macau for a few days at the end of 2021, and coming back after four years, I'm truly amazed at what an impeccable hotel this is. In terms of facilities, the air conditioning was cool and quiet, and didn't blow directly onto the bed. The soundproofing in the room was excellent; I couldn't hear any noise from outside the window or the hallway. The bathroom and the sofa lounge area were both very spacious, never feeling cramped at all. As for service, all the hotel staff were warm, polite, and made us feel right at home. And the convenience is undeniable: there are restaurants, supermarkets, and banks all around the hotel. It's incredibly easy to call a taxi or take public transport, and it's only about a ten-minute drive to either Coloane or the Macau Peninsula. What's particularly worth mentioning is the lounge on the 38th floor, which is very comfortable and perfect for a nightcap. I'm already planning my next trip before this one even ends, and I'll definitely choose Altira Macau again without hesitation when I return to Macau. I saw a review that said, 'If you're not satisfied with a hotel like this, are you expecting to live in a heavenly palace?' I couldn't agree more!FromBRL 658
