There are three different room themes in Lisboeta Hotel Macao: 1) the standard Lisboeta theme, 2) Line and Friends and 3) Maison L’OCCITANE which revolves the French luxury retailer of body, face, hair, fragrances, and home products. And if you do pay attention, the Maison L’OCCITANE rooms are then subdivided into another two different themes. One of them has yellow and brown as theme colours that gives you a warm and embracing aosphere and can be too much at times, while another one is more classy yet humble and is composed of bluish-green and beige colour with copper accent. Even though its slightly more expensive than the standard Lisboeta themed rooms, this latter Maison L’OCCITANE room will definitely spice your stay up especially when one is a frequent hotel guest at the Lisboeta and should not be missed out should you wish to experience all themed stays at the hotel. As a frequent returning guest of the hotel, what I can say is Lisboeta is my top 3 picks in Macau. First of all, it is newly built, everything is really neat, clean and tidy which really makes myself as if I were at home. The bed mattress as well as pillows are the best ones as compared to other 10 hotels I have stayed in Macau. The hardness / firmness of the bed mattress is just optimal, while that of Grand Lisboa Palace and Roosevelt are also great, they are slightly soft and hard respectively as compared to Lisboeta. The pillows are divided into two different types, one has more firmness which supports your back when you are in an upright position, while another one is more soft and flat. With the combination of the two, be it in upright or in complete flat position, I fall into deep sleep every time and wake up fully recharged and energized the next day. The oxygen level in the room is also very high which makes me relaxed and refreshed most of the time. As for the shower, the rainfall is slightly weak, and I have to use the handset most of the time which I am not too much of a fan of. Having said that, I prefer the handset shower of the standard Lisboeta rooms which gives out ultra strong jet due to high water pressure. Nevertheless its acceptable if you are not in an over-drained state. The hotel also has vending machines and water refilling machines in a designated room found along the corridor which comes in handy if you are up for something light during the night.The downside of this hotel is that 90% of the rooms in Lisboeta has appalling views as they are all facing an unconstructed land patch right beside the sea. Apart from this, you can also see all the pipe works, heaters, boilers of the hotel as well as the shopping mall from your room windows above which is kind of a shame. So if you are looking for a hotel with a nice view, Lisboeta is not your choice. Having said that, it is a great hotel for families as it has a shopping mall filled with shops of local products and food, a cinema, a famous Chinese restaurant, gaming arcade and other experience not available elsewhere, such as ZIPCITY which allows you to fly across the sky, etc... As for the location, away from most *s and although a bit more remote than the hotels at the Cotai ** area, the aosphere is more clean and healthy as you will not find sexual workers roaming around and individuals from China coming to you most of the time asking if you need Hong Kong dollars for entertainment in **s which is a gem in Macau!Regarding hotel staff, as usual, majority of them are accommodating and friendly and would allow me to checkout later than usual which I greatly appreciate as I tend to check in at around 4am every morning. Guests can also collect and keep key cards as remembrance of their stay which is great! This hotel is...

Read moreStayed for one night with family during Easter, and this hotel was disappointing in most aspects.||The bathroom is poorly designed. There is no rainfall shower, and the shower head is fixed so that water sprays out horizontally at you instead of at an angle from above. Water temperature is difficult to control as it takes a long time for the water to warm up, then it suddenly becomes very hot. They provide a two in one shampoo and conditioner which is of poor quality and will make your hair brittle and dry, so it's best to bring your own.||Sound isolation is not good and you can easily hear people walking and talking in the corridors, which is especially problematic if your room is near the lift.||Breakfast tastes terrible. There are only around 10 hot dishes, one type of cereal and no fruits. The food was obviously cooked before and reheated, and the bread was soggy. The restaurant is small so be prepared to queue, especially starting from 9am. It was chaotic and at one point staff were arguing with each other loudly.||There are very few facilities. There is no gym and the swimming pool is indoor but not heated. The mall is quite small and most of the outdoor space is for decoration only with no function.||There is only one shuttle route which does not go to the ferry or Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge, so you are pretty much expected to walk to the Grand Lisboeta and take their shuttles. It is a short walk but their shuttles are not convenient either, for example the earliest shuttle to Cunha is at 12:20, and even though we queued 10 minutes early we could not get on. The staff told us there were 45 people in front of us which meant we could not get on the shuttle, and the next shuttle was at 1pm. There were over 20 people who wanted to take the shuttle but were turned away, the staff did not offer to arrange an additional shuttle but instead advised us to take another shuttle to Macau airport and change to Galaxy hotel shuttle instead, which is ridiculous.||There are also very few taxis waiting outside the hotel, so you would have to walk to the Grand Lisboeta (where the queue for taxi is also long), which makes me feel that the Lisboeta is not a hotel on its own but a far and cheap section of the Grand Lisboeta, because you rely on the Grand Lisboeta for transport and the mall.||They offered free coupons for the indoor skydiving experience which is impossible to book, we were given a time slot at 6pm the next day which is a problem since we are only staying for one night. ||We checked in at around 4pm and it took around 30 minutes, which is better than what other reviews said. Wifi was fast. Those are pretty much the only decent things about the hotel.||The Lisboeta is cheaper than other new hotels in Macau but it's for a very good reason. You won't end up saving a lot of money if you have to bring your own shampoo and conditioner and...
