Holiday Inn Express Macau City Centre

Nice hotel, nice location, nice staff, nice services, nice amenities/cleanliness/hygiene/linen/bed+pillows. NICE.

Fairly new hotel so it’s still clean and nothings falling off. We had a corner twin bed room so probably had a little more space than normal rooms. Beds were a little narrow but manageable. It was quiet overnight on the back of the hotel. Lifts were sometimes a bit slow. Couldn’t check in early, they had a sign saying so, and after registration we were given a card to come back with later. Can leave luggage though. Goes in a back room. Guest laundry isn’t free as their amenities list suggests. It’s a crazy $48 more. There was a clothes line in the shower. Bathroom sink was a little small though. No water dispenser in the hotel but bottles of water are included and there is a fridge. Tea and coffee also with a kettle. But, non potable water in the bathroom. The breakfast was alright. Coffee made with beans is one per person so are the ‘main’ breakfast options. Chosen from a menu and delivered to the table. Buffet selection was average. Four hot dishes: spaghetti, processed meat and fried potato. Kale and tomato salad. Lettuce. Bananas and apples. Toast with apricot jam. Three types of cereal, including bran with dried fruit. Only dairy milk. No soya milk. No tofu dishes. Big vats of tea, lower quality coffee and juice available too. Prices jumped around a lot. Saturday was very expensive for what it was, dropped by a third if we’d stayed Sunday. Easy to walk to the main historical attractions. We toured them all down to A Ma temple, then got the bus back. We went to Cotai in the evening, buses to get back were insanely busy. Might be better to splash out on a hotel that side if you intend to go there at night.

A value for money, clean and comfortable hotel with good locations to all major casinos and decent breakfast spread. Excellent service by staff at counter and at restaurant.
