2-Starhotels in Macau

"We stayed for two nights. We did know that they only provide disposal towels so we brought our own. What we did not expect was disposable bed sheets (pic). It was very uncomfortable feeling on the skin, made me sweat like crazy probably because of the plastic like fabric. It also ripped during the first night, I expected it to get exchanged when they bring new water (it’s very common to get two water bottles per night) but it didn’t. So we were left with the ripped disposable sheets and the actual blanket came through. That made me think how often that must have happened before: the people start to sweat (macau is warm and kinda humid) into the actual blanket which is probably never cleaned because of the disposable sheets. Next guests the same thing happens, so basically everyone is sleeping under the same blanket. Doesn’t seem very hygienic to me. Also the bed was very hard (even for Asian standards). My partner and I are both under 25 and had back pain the next morning. The whole hotel and also the room was very humid, smelled like cigarettes/cigar and you can’t open any windows, not even partially. Otherwise it does look like the pictures and the rest of the room/bath was clean except for the smell and probably the bed. Also the location is very convenient. If I wanted to visit macau again I would probably get a hotel in Zhuhai (mainland china) which is less expensive and locals told us there is a 24h border control and the whole process only takes about 10min."

"De locatie van dit hotel is inderdaad erg gunstig; het duurt ongeveer 10 minuten om de ruïnes van St. Paul en vele andere bezienswaardigheden in het centrum van Macau te bereiken. Verrassend genoeg is de kamer schoner dan ik dacht en beschikt hij over de nodige voorzieningen, zoals warm water, wifi, slippers, enz. Maar het is niet zo gemakkelijk voor een eerste bezoeker om het te vinden. Zoek naar een bordje met ”Edificio Kam Hou” en beklim de trap naar de eerste verdieping om in te checken."

"Ik weet niet waarom het zo lang heeft geduurd voordat ik deze kant van Macau echt ontdekte. Ten eerste ligt dit hotel op loopafstand van het Senadoplein/de ruïnes van de Sint-Pauluskerk. Het bevindt zich in een straat waar veel Filipino's wonen. Er zijn twee Filipijnse supermarkten en een Filipijnse afhaalzaak. Het ligt ook vlakbij de hoofdweg met een bushalte voor de route naar de luchthaven. Er zijn diverse winkels in de buurt. Je kunt zelfs naar de terminal lopen waar je de veerboot naar Zhuhai (vasteland China) kunt nemen. Ik zou hier zeker nog eens verblijven. De mensen bij de receptie zijn vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De kamer zelf heeft twee flessen water, toiletartikelen, een waterkoker, een telefoon, een kluisje, kledinghangers, een tv en slippers. Geweldig! Het enige wat ik mis, is een bidet in het toilet. Verder is het perfect!"

"This hotel IS ACTUALLY VERY GOOD! Spotless with very strategic locations. But if you’re non smokers and allergic to cigarettes smoke, DON’T EVER THINK ABOUT staying here. It’s a small hotel and the rooms are quite small with narrow hallways. That’s not an issue but most guests are SMOKING IN THEIR ROOM and the smell is SOO STRONG. I never had a sleep for two nights straight. That’s really UNFAIR. I paid just like any other guests but I couldn’t enjoy my rights for a peaceful comfortable sleep. Not even an hour! Mind you, this is a non-smoking hotel. Signs are everywhere with fines of MOP 1500 for violations. But people are still smoking cuz the policy isn’t really enforced. It’s just formality. I really wanted to check out after one night but unfortunately the booking couldn’t be modified or refunded. So, I had no choice but to suffocate from the smell of cigarettes. However, I have to appreciate the staff hospitality especially the guy whom I reported the issue. He tried to find me a better room but unfortunately none was available. Well at least he tried and he apologized for what happened. This is really commendable. But as a hotel, it could do better by strictly enforcing the policy of non smoking. It shouldn’t be hard to identify the guests who smoke."

"De locatie is goed. Dichtbij de toeristische straten en bezienswaardigheden, maar toch in een rustige straat. Je loopt zo de hoofdweg op en daar stoppen veel bussen naar verschillende bestemmingen. Het enige nadeel was de geluidsisolatie. De douche en het toilet maakten veel lawaai! Het is rookvrij, maar mijn neus is gevoelig en ik kon een beetje ruiken. Over het algemeen ben ik tevreden met de accommodatie. Als je van een stevig bed houdt, is dit een goede plek voor jou."

"It was a good stay. The hotel was clean and the environment was nice so there are nothing to complain about."

"We had a wonderful stay at Grande Hotel Macao. Everything was excellent from start to finish. The location is very convenient, making it easy to explore the city. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and efficient. Overlall, the service, facilities, and overall were truly satisfying. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Macau. We would definitely stay here again."

"De omgeving is comfortabel, de service is gemiddeld (je moet bijvoorbeeld naar de kelderbalie om tissues te halen), de airconditioning is goed, het water is voldoende, de matras is beter dan verwacht, afgezien van de slechte geluidsisolatie, is alles verder prima. De prijs is redelijk en de locatie is gunstig gelegen ten opzichte van het openbaar vervoer."

"The location is decent, close to the road, but you have to go up a dark, narrow staircase to the second floor. However, to my surprise, the room had large windows and great natural light. It was pretty standard overall. The bathroom was tiny with no separate shower and toilet, and the building is quite old, so everything felt a bit run down. There was a notice in the drawer stating a 1500 fine for smoking in the room, yet there was an ashtray on the desk (?!). The curtains even had a few cigarette burn holes. I booked this place for over 400 in advance, only to find out it was around 300 if booked on the same day. What a rip-off! But it's conveniently located for getting around, so I'll forgive it."

"Only two skinny pillows with paper disposable covers on a double bed - no towels just thin paper disposables - no coffee or mugs or spoon despite a kettle / no safe / no mini fridge / the tiniest TV ever - it may have been freshly re finished but it’s not a hotel … it could be so much better considering it’s great location - guess profit got in the way …."
