Sea View Hotels in Macau, China

The hotel is very strategic for taking the bus in Macau. You only need to prepare small change of 6 Mop per ride. From the hotel, you can go to the ruins of St. Paul, it's also close, it takes about 15 minutes to walk. If you want to go to the HKG Macau border, you can take bus no. 101 (from the hotel, exit n, turn right, then see the traffic lights, cross the road and see bus stop 101). If you want to go to venetian exit the hotel, turn left and take the bus.

Let's start with the positives, then move on to the negatives. **Pros:** The viewing glass was incredibly clean, making for a very pleasant city view. The bathroom had a rain shower. Both the bathroom and bedding were spotlessly clean, and the toiletries provided were of good quality. The hotel itself is relatively new. Both the front desk and housekeeping staff were very polite and helpful. The bedside outlets were compatible with mainland China plugs, so no adapter was needed, and the room even provided a three-in-one charging cable. **Location:** The location is excellent, right next to the Grand Lisboa, Lisboa, and Wynn (the original Wynn, not Wynn Palace). However, because the roads are wide, even though they're all on the same roundabout, it still takes about ten minutes to walk across several roads. Families with elderly members might want to consider this. If you're looking for convenient dining options, it's probably better to book a hotel near St. Paul's Ruins; there are a few good ones there. If you're not planning on gambling, you can also book a city view room to enjoy these landmark buildings. Of course, after crossing the road, there's a large bus hub (as shown in the picture), which is a huge plus because you can get pretty much anywhere in Macau from there. The hotel also has shuttle buses to other hotels and major border crossings, and taxis are easy to find. Personally, I think staying in the old district is more convenient than Taipa for city walks; within 1-4 kilometers, you can explore many historical sites, small shops, and local eateries. Macau is small, so taxis are convenient everywhere; the starting fare is 25 MOP, and it cost 76 MOP from Qingmao Port to the hotel. **Floors:** The front desk is on the basement level, so there's a distinction between the 'Hotel Lobby' (L floor) and the 'Entrance Lobby' (G floor). Taxis and food deliveries drop off at the Entrance Lobby, G floor. **Price:** For your reference: I stayed on a weekday in April, in a city view fountain room, and it cost 600-700 RMB including tax. **Cons:** The room lacked a 'Do Not Disturb' sign or light. When I smelled smoke, neither the operator nor the in-room phone answered. The wardrobe doors were covered in grease stains and fingerprints from previous guests; housekeeping likely only did a basic clean and didn't notice these 'common' areas on the cabinet doors. The soundproofing is indeed very poor. Whenever someone walks by in the corridor or talks at a normal volume, it's very noisy in the room. When the cleaning staff on the floor above or in adjacent rooms cleaned, and their mops hit the walls, it caused significant disturbance in the room (as shown in the video recording); it felt like the walls were hollow. Surprisingly, the window's soundproofing was good; despite the busy roundabout below with cars constantly passing, I couldn't hear any noise from outside. My biggest complaint is that the hotel has failed to enforce its no-smoking policy. The elevator smelled like a KTV, and the corridors reeked of stale cigarette smoke, as if the carpets had been smoked in. Passing one room, three men walked out, and the smoke smell that wafted out was nauseating. The 11th floor is supposed to be a non-smoking floor, but I often smelled smoke in the corridor, and on one occasion, the smoke directly entered my room. I opened my door to complain to the staff, but although they were present, they seemed to ignore the situation. Later, I spoke to the lobby manager on duty, who also expressed helplessness, stating it was a matter of certain guests' behavior, and they could only check for smoke smell upon checkout and fine the guests who had already checked out. This simply doesn't solve the problem, so non-smoking, rule-abiding guests like us become the victims. When I went to the front desk to ask a question, I saw a male staff member treating another guest's inquiry with a very perfunctory attitude, not even looking up, which was quite rude, like a roadside shopkeeper dealing with someone asking for directions. Overall, despite claiming to be a five-star hotel, the management is quite disorganized.

I forgot to pack my slippers, but when I opened the closet, I found two pairs waiting for me—exactly what I needed! It's rare to find hotels that offer such a thoughtful touch these days. The bathroom is incredibly spacious, and there's even a TV built into the wall next to the bathtub. The view from the 15th floor is absolutely stunning; you can see the Ruins of St. Paul's in the distance. Lunch at the MJ Cafe on the first floor is a steal—for just a few dozen bucks, you get soup, a main course, and coffee. The staff were so friendly, and the place had a nice buzz even on a weekday. I'll definitely be back!

Honestly, I loved it. Pros: It was a pretty good price for the quality, very conveniently located next to the Macau Outer Harbour (10 minutes away of walking). You can take free buses from the harbour to all the big ******* and walking into the city centre is really easy. There are a few eateries in the area and while people might not speak English they all use translation apps. The hotel staff was very helpful and personable, they let me store my luggage while I visited and someone helped carry by big rucksack all the way to the room. The bed was SO comfy. AC worked well and the bathroom had lots of amenities (brush & toothpaste, hair cap, cotton pads and cotton buds, comb, Occitane lotion, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel). Big TV, lots of storage space. Cons: If I had to be picky, I’d say the view on the balcony wasn’t great. It was facing the walkway on the right of the building towards some apartment complex in the distance, that looked a bit sad. But I wasn’t there to stare out the window, hahaha.

It was okay, but the facilities are quite old, and the shower was just so-so. There was a big cockroach in my room the night I stayed there. The bed was clean and seemed alright, especially for the price. It's conveniently located, so I can't really ask for much more.

Great value for money, close to Fisherman's Wharf and Sands, with free shuttle bus access. The hotel has a vintage European charm, and check-in was smooth, check-out was quick. Drawbacks: Facilities are a bit old (opened in 1995). Not in the city center. Recommended for: budget travelers, photography enthusiasts, and families.

Overall, my stay at the Pousada de Sao Tiago in Macau was quite good. The hotel's setting is very unique, built into a hillside with a rich historical atmosphere. The terrace offers great views of the river and city skyline, providing a quiet and relaxing, resort-like feel. Both the architecture and the courtyard have a strong Portuguese influence, making for excellent photo opportunities. On the first night, we did encounter an unexpected issue: a leaking ceiling in our room caused a power outage. However, the front desk and maintenance team responded incredibly quickly. Staff arrived promptly to address the problem, maintaining a professional and patient demeanor throughout. Although it was late and we were quite tired, the entire resolution process was handled smoothly and efficiently. The next morning, the hotel manager personally apologized and arranged for us to change rooms, also offering a complimentary afternoon tea set as compensation. This demonstrated the hotel's commitment to guest satisfaction. Our subsequent stay proceeded without any further issues. Overall, despite the unforeseen incident, the hotel team's service attitude and problem-solving efficiency were commendable. The staff were all very competent. If you appreciate quiet, historic, and less-mainstream hotels, this place is definitely worth considering.

I booked a King Room with an ocean view. The room was spacious, spotless, and well-maintained. The minibar items were complimentary, except for the premium bottled water and wine (though no wine was provided in the room). A deposit of MOP 1,000 was required at check-in, which was fully refunded upon checkout. The hotel also offered free shuttle buses to major hotels and key departure points across Macau. The concierge, Charles, was particularly helpful in advising us on the correct shuttle bus number to reach our intended destination.

The connecting room was perfect for our family of three adults, and having two bathrooms was super convenient. **Amenities:** All the disposable toiletries were well-stocked. Just a heads-up, the mini-bar water is chargeable, and there's a sign indicating that. **Cleanliness:** Spotless! It felt like the first day we checked in, every single day. **Environment:** Beautiful surroundings, and the bus stop for route 16 right outside the hotel was very handy. **Service:** The air conditioning wasn't cooling well, but after reporting it, staff came to check immediately and informed us that engineering would fix it. Very quick response time. We also had dinner at the hotel, and the restaurant staff were very thorough in explaining the dishes. The food was excellent, portions were generous, and we even got a discount. We'll definitely be staying here again on our next visit!

Overall clean, and the bed was super comfy ✌🏻. The pillows were also really comfortable. You can store your luggage there, and it's within walking distance to the attractions. They were doing some renovations while I was there, so there was a bit of noise, but it didn't affect my sleep at night 😉.
