Hotel Sintra

  • March 10, 2007
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Parradise from Palo Alto, California
I paid $84 a night for this hotel and used www.asiarooms.com which I highly recommend for booking all travel. They were, by far, the cheapest at half the price compared to orbitz, and expedia. This was such a great deal.

The hotel is located in the downtown area and is very close to the famous Hotel Lisboa. From the ferry terminal, they offer free shuttle bus service to most of the casinos. The bus will take you to Hotel Lisboa, to Hotel Sintra, then to the New Yaohan shopping mall, and then back to the ferry terminal.

We knew we were close enough to the Lisboa Hotel that we could walk so just take any shuttle to that. I used a picture in the Lonely Planet Guide to Hong Kong and Macau and pointed at the Hotel Lisboa. Don't ask me what the Chinese name for that Hotel is. I've forgotten already. The Emperor's Hotel is right next door and those shuttles were clearly labeled and marked so take one of those.
So enough about getting there.

We got a room with two single beds which is very common in Asia as compared to the oversized two double beds. The room came with two complimentary bottles of water, and a really nice electric water thermos that keeps water boiling hot with all the fixings for coffee, and tea. It was really nice to come home every night and relax with a cup of tea. It was very convenient to have all the light controls attached to the nightstand. We took an 1pm late check out and that didn't seem to be a problem. Downstairs in the lobby is a interactive touch screen city guide terminal which provided some information.

The location made it very convenient to walk to other hotels like the Wynn as well as other attractions. (Please see rest of journal)

Bottom Line: I gave it 4 stars for price, great location, and good service. I only reserve 5 stars for places like the Mandarin Oriental for the impeccable service, decor, amenities, etc. However, being the cost conscious traveller that I am, I will probably never stay there.

Hotel Sintra

The Hotel Sintra is located just minutes away from The Hotel Lisboa near the water front. The people there were absolutly the most helpful I''ve encountered in a hotel yet. The rooms are well-decorated and spacious. The only complaint I had was that the beds were a bit hard.
