Hotels near Monte Forte in Macau

This retro-themed hotel offers a great experience. You can see the Ruins of St. Paul's from the 10th-floor rooftop, and the Senado Square fountain is right downstairs. The staff are warm and friendly. Next time I'm in Macau, I'll definitely stay at the New Central again! Complimentary minibar (once per stay): See the last four attached photos.

1. The hotel offers free parking. I arrived around 3 PM and was able to check in immediately. The staff was efficient, but a 1000 MOP deposit was required, which could be paid via Alipay. The hotel also provides USB charging cables, which was a thoughtful touch. 2. The toiletries smelled pleasant. I enjoyed a soak in the hot tub on the terrace in the evening; it offered excellent privacy. There was even a thermometer nearby to monitor the water temperature, making it much more enjoyable than a public pool. 3. There's a large shopping mall downstairs, which was perfect since the weather wasn't great during my stay. I didn't have to go far for entertainment or shopping. Breakfast was at the Swan Lake restaurant, which had delicious food and a great ambiance for photos. I definitely made the right choice.

A good hotel at an affordable price with a very good location. The center of old Macau is very convenient to walk. I would like to mention the excellent cuisine, the breakfasts and dinners are good enough. The disadvantages are: the hotel is very worn out, in our room there was a slight smell from the sewage, also water leaked from the shower hose, which made the water pressure poorly regulated, the hinges of the doors in the closet creaked more than your grandmother. And of course the lack of bottled drinking water- as many people note. The service was out of a surprise, as we noticed that a child was having a birthday, and as a nice bonus, we were given two apples and an orange. I'm sure you would have received more treats in a school cafeteria. Overall, it was a decent stay if not compared to other 5stars hotels.

I stayed at Hotel Metropole Macau and unfortunately had a mixed experience. The biggest issue was the condition of the room. It felt quite old, and there was a strong cigarette smell throughout… from the hallway all the way into the room. The odor was persistent and uncomfortable, and it actually triggered my allergies. If you have rhinitis or are sensitive to smoke, I would strongly advise against staying here, as it can really affect your comfort and overall trip. On the positive side, the location is excellent. The hotel is very centrally located, with many major attractions within walking distance, and it’s easy to get around the area. Breakfast was simple but filling… nothing fancy, but enough to start your day. Overall, the hotel has great potential because of its location, but improvements in cleanliness and eliminating the cigarette smell would make a big difference. Until then, it may not be the best choice for travelers who are sensitive to odors.

The room was clean and tidy! For the price, it's a pretty good hotel. Most importantly, the soundproofing was excellent, so I slept peacefully at night. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and there was a window that could be opened with no strange smells. Nearby, the old eateries, Chau Kee Dai Pai Dong and Lung Fung Tea House, both served delicious food. The fried chicken wings and salt and pepper chicken at Sum Kee were even better than McDonald's, and the food at Wing Fai Restaurant was also great, especially their Chuan Gong Fish Head Noodles which I loved.

The bedding was quite comfortable, and the TV channels mainly included local Macau stations, Phoenix TV, and Taiwan's CTi Asia. The toiletries were pleasant, and the hotel itself was very clean. Right downstairs, there's a popular photo spot where you can get a great shot with the Grand Lisboa. It's about a 15-minute walk to the Ruins of St. Paul's. When I checked out, someone helped me load my luggage into the taxi that was hailed for me. On the downside, the air conditioning was a bit noisy, likely due to the older facilities. My room also had a small door, probably connecting to the room next door. Although it was locked, the soundproofing wasn't great, and I could hear children from the other side. Considering the price, it offers pretty good value for money (the price on May 5th was half of what it was a few days prior).

The location is excellent, right across from Grand Lisboa, just a 2-minute walk. I stayed on the 11th floor; the room was very clean and tidy, with no strange smells. The bathroom was well-equipped with soap, a shower cap, and lotion. The bed was comfortable. There was only one UK-style power outlet near the dressing table, and the one by the bed was a USB charging port. The soundproofing could be a bit better. It's super close to the 21A/26A bus stop and the famous Lao Day Beef Offal, and Senado Square is also very nearby. Overall, it's great.

The air conditioning in the room was very loud, whether it was on or off. The other amenities and facilities were pretty good. No adapter was needed, and there were plenty of mirrors. Tea bags, coffee, and a mini-fridge were provided. The room itself was small, but the bathroom was spacious. Next time I visit, I'll definitely stay somewhere else, even though this was an upgraded room. However, I checked reviews for every hotel, and no place in the same price range had quiet air conditioning, so it might be a common issue.

Location: The location is excellent. It's about a five-minute walk to Senado Square, then another three minutes to St. Dominic's Church, and seven minutes more to the Ruins of St. Paul's. Next door is Yaohan department store, and across the street is Macau Square. The central shuttle bus stop is right downstairs. It's a five-minute walk to the old Grand Lisboa, and then another five minutes through an underpass to Wynn. Facilities: My room type had a small bathroom with only a bathtub for showering. The toilet was behind the door, which made it a bit cramped. The mini-bar fridge offered two drinks, a beer, and a packet of crisps for free. However, only two small bottles of drinking water were provided daily. Service: During the May Day holiday, they allowed a half-hour late check-out. I booked breakfast at the front desk the night before for MOP 88 per person. The Chinese and Western buffet, though not extensive, was decent. The first time I visited, I stayed in Taipa. This time, I stayed on the Peninsula. If I visit for a third time and stay on the Peninsula again, I might choose this hotel.

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.
