Macau Hotels with balcony

I went to Macau from Hong Kong that night and booked this hotel last minute. The location is absolutely fantastic! It's just a short bus ride from the ferry terminal, and I found it within 5 minutes of getting off the bus. Getting around: It's super convenient to get to the Ruins of St. Paul's and Senado Square, both within walking distance. Seriously, couldn't ask for better. Plus, there are lots of gold shops nearby, and the casinos aren't a long walk either. The hotel itself: The room is small but clean and tidy, and the bedding is comfortable and spotless. Great value for money, especially since it's a new hotel. We slept with the window open at night, and it was generally very quiet, except for about 12 AM when there was some noise from the neighboring market collecting trash (only lasted a few minutes). I'm a bit sensitive to smells, but it was within a tolerable range. If you're extremely sensitive, you might want to consider it carefully. Service: The front desk staff were all excellent, providing great service with a friendly attitude. Before we left, they even gave some local specialties to the newly checked-in guests. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and it instantly made me find Macau quite charming. The people here are much friendlier and less discriminatory than in Hong Kong.

I just stayed at the Macao New Central Hotel the day before yesterday, and my experience was absolutely fantastic! I sincerely recommend this historic, vintage-style hotel to anyone visiting Macau. The hotel is located right in the heart of Senado Square, and right downstairs you'll find souvenir shops and specialty snack stalls. It's just a three to five-minute walk to Senado Square and the Ruins of St. Paul's, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing and finding food. The entire building has a retro Republican-era vibe, and both the lobby and guest rooms are exquisitely designed with a charming atmosphere – every corner is perfect for photos. The room was spotlessly clean, the bedding was soft and comfortable, the bathroom facilities were high-quality, and the soundproofing was good, ensuring a very peaceful night's sleep. The front desk staff were kind and gentle, and the check-in process was efficient, quick, clear, and hassle-free. With its excellent location, vintage ambiance, and great value for money, it's perfect whether you're staying for a short stopover or exploring the old town in depth. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next trip to Macau.

This time, I chose the Andaz, part of the Galaxy Macau series, for my birthday trip to Macau. I picked it because it's a new opening and not an old hotel. I remembered passing by before and thinking the air conditioning was very strong and comfortable. I also wanted to visit the Grand Resort Deck at Galaxy, and happily, all guests staying at Galaxy series hotels get free access to the facilities, which is truly great value for money. My flight was delayed, so I arrived quite late. The check-in lobby is on the sixth floor. A few days prior, the hotel had sent an email asking for my estimated arrival time and preferred time for the birthday cake. Ms. Ophelia and Ms. Sophia at the front desk warmly greeted us. They were very sweet and detailed in explaining the check-in process, asked about our needs, offered itinerary suggestions, and even wrote down the facility operating hours for us. They also thoughtfully gave my child a gift of juice and biscuits, fearing they might be hungry, and gave us each a waterproof phone pouch to use while swimming. If you're traveling with children, you can request a kids' tent. Upon entering the room, there really was a kids' tent with pillows and blankets featuring the Galaxy mascot peacock. However, I didn't see the stuffed animals that some netizens shared in their reviews; I'm not sure if they were out of stock. The room felt a bit small compared to other hotels, but the children's amenities were very complete: a bottle warmer, a bathtub, and cute, high-quality cups and toiletries. Every evening, during turndown service, the housekeeping staff left small gifts like eye cream and lip balm, and on the last night, they gave steam eye masks, which was a special touch. There's a one-time mini-bar refill, which is a bit hard to understand for a four-night stay – regardless of the number of nights, it's only once. They provided two pairs of slippers and a gift box from Yeng Kee Bakery. Access to the Galaxy Kids Club and the Marriott Kids' Zone is free for two hours daily. The Grand Resort Deck is also free, but entering from the Marriott or walking there, or taking a shuttle to the 2nd floor of Galaxy, is a bit inconvenient. There are also too few changing rooms and no spin dryers, so it's a hassle to have to put on your swimsuit in the room before going. There's a welcome drink at noon, and from 5:00-7:00 PM, there's an alcoholic afternoon tea, but there are too few seats and too many people, with limited food choices. We opted to pay for breakfast at the Andaz Kitchen one day; you can just queue up to buy and enter. It was quite exquisite and delicious, but the dining tables were a bit small, and there seemed to be a shortage of staff, making table clearing slower. You can order coffee, tea, or juice at the table... Overall, the experience was good.

The hotel's location is superb. It's about a 300-meter walk from Exit A of the Macau Barra Transport Hub. The Barra Transport Hub includes a bus terminal and the Barra Station, which is the terminus of the Macau Light Rail Taipa Line. From the Taipa Line, you can transfer to the Hengqin Line at Lotus Checkpoint Station to reach Hengqin Port, or transfer to the Seac Pai Van Line at Union Hospital Station to go to Seac Pai Van. The hotel itself exudes understated luxury, surrounded by lush greenery, with the sounds of birds chirping and cicadas singing, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. The hotel's location is already a popular spot, and I even saw people taking wedding photos there. The front desk service is thoughtful and professional. Although the hotel currently doesn't have an elevator, staff are arranged to help carry luggage upstairs, which is quite convenient. The room was very clean and tidy, with all necessary toiletries provided, and even mosquito repellent equipment. I only used the electric mosquito coil and didn't notice any mosquitoes in the room. The hotel has good sound insulation and is very quiet, with excellent privacy protection. Housekeeping and replenishment of daily necessities only occur with the guest's notification, and non-guests are not allowed into the guest room areas. The hotel's breakfast is semi-buffet, offering both Chinese and Western options. Although simple, it's very delicious. There are also additional self-service items like bread, fruit, and coffee. The restaurant on the second floor serves excellent food and is very popular; you often need to make a reservation to get a table, otherwise, you might have to dine on the outdoor terrace. However, dining on the outdoor terrace in the evening is also a great option. Firstly, it's not too hot and there are no mosquitoes, and secondly, you get an unobstructed view of the bay's sunset and night scenery (the sunset and night views of Hengqin and Zhuhai across the sea are also quite beautiful). All in all, it's a great hotel, and I would choose to stay here again if I have the chance.

The hotel is beautiful and conveniently located, with clean public areas. The breakfast is more Western-style, so those who prefer Chinese stir-fries, fried rice, noodles, or steamed dim sum might find it less to their liking. We were fine with it and found enough to eat. As for service: housekeeping was decent, front desk service was secondary, and restaurant service was extremely average, with overly salty dishes for some reason. The room noise was a major issue – constant sounds of running water from pipes, air conditioning, and what sounded like furniture being dragged from upstairs or downstairs, which continued intermittently until late at night. The hairdryer quality didn't match the hotel's caliber, which was a poor experience. Overall, the service isn't as good as hotels in Taipa and definitely needs improvement, especially in guest-facing details, where there's a significant gap. This might be due to language barriers with the foreign staff.

I went with a few friends this time. First, let's talk about the hotel's location. Although it's not in the bustling city center, a good stay prioritizes peace and comfort. This location is perfect for that. It faces the Macau Tower directly, which looks great for photos at night. There are also attractions nearby, definitely worth checking out. The guy at the front desk who checked us in was also very nice, sorry I didn't catch his name. We booked a sea-view suite, and the room was very clean. It even had two bathrooms. The large balcony was also fantastic, great for enjoying the view and taking pictures. All in all, it was perfect. Finally, the hotel also has a free shuttle bus that picks up guests at Gongbei Port, though the pickup spot is a bit hard to find.
