4-Star Hotels in Macau

My parents brought their grandchildren to Macau Peninsula, and they wanted a hotel that offered shopping, dining, and easy access to UNESCO World Heritage sites. Grand Emperor Hotel Macau was undoubtedly a highly cost-effective choice. The hotel is situated in the heart of Avenida Comercial, boasting a grand and striking European palace-style exterior, with its crown emblem being instantly recognizable. The hotel's location is its biggest asset. It's right next to New Yaohan Department Store, making shopping and buying souvenirs incredibly convenient. Within about a ten-minute walk, you can reach the shopping landmark of Senado Square (Sena Square). Grand Lisboa and Wynn Macau are also just a stone's throw away. Objectively, the hotel has been open for a while, so some facilities show signs of age, and the decor is quite traditional. During peak times, the breakfast area can get crowded. However, these minor drawbacks don't overshadow its advantages. Its irreplaceable central location on the peninsula perfectly balances comfortable accommodation with excellent travel convenience.

Golden Dragon offers incredible value for money! It's super convenient for dining, entertainment, and exploring, and it's right by Fisherman's Wharf, which is definitely worth a visit for some photos. The Golden Dragon itself is great, and the staff are very polite and provide attentive service.

The hotel was good~ The facilities weren't overly old, they had a sense of timelessness but were all in working order. The staff were quite enthusiastic, and reasonable requests could be made. Security guards were patrolling late at night while I was taking photos everywhere, which made me feel very safe. The only thing I wasn't quite used to was the bathroom door being shared with another room (there was a fence), which made me feel a bit self-conscious when using the toilet or showering. I hope they can add a curtain or something similar.

The hotel is conveniently located between two MRT stations and is easy to spot with its distinctive brown exterior. Check-in was on the 21st floor, and the staff member who assisted me was very polite and efficient, handling everything quickly. Thumbs up for that! The room was clean and well-maintained, with absolutely no complaints. Downstairs, there are plenty of eateries, a supermarket, and even a McDonald's, which was a huge hit with the kids.

It was our anniversary and Gary at reception offered us a lte check out since we arrived at the hotel quite late. We were also upgraded together with a free red wine as our gift and we were thrilled and we were further offered 2 complimentary breakfast althought we didn't use att the end. I found out that I didn't take my airpods with me at the time when I checked out and we went to lunch. I came back and then 2 receptionists helped me out and called the room to bring it back down even after checkout, I m so pleased by the services Ascott provided me and to us. Thank you very much and I will for sure come again. Btw the room we stayed was really nice spacious and comfortable.

The room was quite spacious, and there were plenty of power outlets, which was very convenient as no adapters were needed. The hotel staff were all very enthusiastic and helpful. The location is excellent, just a short distance from the Grand Lisboa. We took a shuttle from Grand Lisboa Palace, where we had dinner and shopped, then caught another shuttle to Grand Lisboa, and it was just a 5-minute walk to the Metropark Hotel. There are restaurants next to the hotel, and on Rua de Outubro, behind the hotel, there's a bus that goes directly to the Border Gate, making transportation very convenient. It's also a leisurely 10-15 minute walk to the Ruins of St. Paul's. I haven't included internal photos as they are quite standard; the exterior shots provided were taken from inside the room, offering a wide, open view. The complimentary bottled water was a bit too small.

I arrived in the evening, so check-in was quick with no queues. There was a 500 deposit, which was promptly returned after check-out. I'd requested a non-smoking and quiet room, and they absolutely delivered on both. The air conditioning in the room was incredibly quiet at night, which was a blessing for someone like me with sleep issues. There are plenty of places to eat around the hotel, and it's super convenient for shopping. The bathroom was spacious, and the shower had great water pressure – very comfortable. The only downsides were that the shampoo and shower gel weren't great (I ended up buying my own from the supermarket), and I found the low ceilings a bit oppressive, especially with the dark carpet. However, the pillows and duvet were very comfortable. The mattress was an older spring type and quite bouncy, but it was fine sleeping alone.

The hotel is located on a slope, so getting up and down is very steep and would be quite difficult for anyone with mobility issues. The bus stop is close to the hotel, but again, the climb is challenging. The room was spacious, and I was pleased to find an iron and ironing board. The hotel has a cozy, Portuguese style. There's a small pool, which the kids enjoyed. Breakfast was modest, with coffee in a thermos, but you won't go hungry. We walked to the sea to swim but decided against going in. The water was very murky, and there were dead fish floating around. Only a couple of Chinese tourists were on the beach. Housekeeping was very poor; all the towels and bedding should be replaced. Everything was old and worn out, and the duvet covers were synthetic. There was mold in the bathroom. And the icing on the cake – a huge, 5cm cockroach ran in and scared the children.

The location is super convenient for transportation and daily needs. There's a bus stop nearby, making it easy to get to and from the airport and anywhere else. Downstairs, there are plenty of supermarkets and dining options. However, the hotel facilities are quite old. The lobby is bright and spacious, but the rooms are dim and poorly soundproofed. I could clearly hear the girls next door chatting and screaming in the middle of the night. The air conditioning is noisy, and it automatically kicks on every so often, which isn't ideal for light sleepers.

This hotel definitely has a retro vibe, like something from the 90s. You get what you pay for, after all; the opulent Galaxy is right across the street, but it's double the price. It's about a six-stop light rail ride from the airport to Pai Kok station. From there, you enter Galaxy Entertainment, walk through the lobby, cross the road, and you're there. Getting to the East Asian Games Dome is super convenient, just four stops away! The room is fully carpeted, but thankfully there's no weird smell – it's very clean. The bathroom has a tub, but the showerhead is built into the wall, which is a bit awkward. However, the water pressure is excellent, more than making up for that minor flaw. It's a shame the gym hours are only 10 AM to 6 PM, which isn't ideal for early birds. I ended up going for a morning run instead. To my surprise, a quick left turn led me to the Taipa waterfront, where I could enjoy the scenery while breaking a sweat. My biggest complaint is the breakfast; I honestly don't recommend it. There's hardly anything to eat, but maybe my expectations are just too high. You're better off going to Tsui Wah at Galaxy across the street for their breakfast set, which costs 60 MOP. The cleaning staff were excellent; they brought me bottled water several times without any fuss. Overall, it's a hotel with good value for money!
