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!

The environment is beautiful and clean, and it's super close to the border crossing, making it very convenient for getting around. There's plenty of shopping and a great variety of delicious and affordable food nearby – truly a wonderful spot! The rooms are well-equipped, and they offer a rich and diverse breakfast. Plus, you get an 15% discount on Victoria's cookies, a Macau specialty!

## 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 room was clean and tidy, with complete facilities and good soundproofing. There's a terrace on the 15th floor with great views! They also offer a private car service for purchase. The location is excellent, with many shops nearby. The front desk staff, especially Delia, Selene, and Zika, provided excellent service.

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.

Great environment, convenient transportation, and an excellent location, making it easy to get around and shop. Highly recommended. The front desk staff were polite and enthusiastic. Plus, the hotel offers breakfast on the third floor and lunch/dinner on the second floor. I was with my parents, and it was raining that day, so it was super convenient to just eat right there without having to go out.

The front desk staff, especially the young man with glasses, was incredibly enthusiastic, and all the hotel employees provided excellent service. The room was exceptionally clean, particularly the bathroom. The TV was a bit small, and bottled water isn't provided in the room, but there's a water dispenser in the hallway. The breakfast selection wasn't huge but was comprehensive, and in addition to the buffet, you could scan a QR code to order noodles. The dining area was well-managed and orderly. There's a bus stop right downstairs, and plenty of food options nearby. It's also just a five-minute walk to the Wynn where you can catch a ride. Overall, it was a fantastic stay.

The non-smoking room type I booked wasn't available, so I had to pay extra to upgrade my room. It was much more spacious and worth it, though the window faced a residential area and it felt like I could almost touch the windows across the way. The lobby isn't big but there were dozens of people queuing, and the service was decent with someone managing the line. It's a ten-minute walk to Rua do Cunha, and there's a bus stop right outside, making it very convenient to get to several places and Coloane Village.

The room was neat, bright, and clean. Although not large, it was well-equipped and very comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful, and there's even a rooftop garden. It's very close to the city center, yet surprisingly quiet. Located on a hillside, it's perfect for those who enjoy walking and getting some exercise. A short walk further up the hill leads to a park with panoramic views of the entire city. The hotel also offers a transfer service, making it very convenient for getting to your next destination.

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.
