Frommer's Review

Located on the slope of Guia Hill, below Guia Fortress and Lighthouse (with a park popular with joggers) and surrounded by traditional colonial architecture, this is one of Macau's more secluded inexpensively priced hotels. It's small with a friendly staff, though tour groups from the mainland can disrupt the tranquillity and I don't even want to know what goes on in PlayMate's nightclub. Spotless rooms range from those facing inland to those with little balconies facing the distant sea. By far the best are those with a view of Guia Lighthouse and the harbor in the background -- request a room with a balcony on the highest (fifth) floor, where you also have a ringside view of the annual Grand Prix. The main drawback is that it's a bit far from the action, but a free shuttle bus makes runs every half-hour or so to and from the ferry pier.

Facilities:
Restaurant; nightclub/disco; room service 8am-2am

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
