Finding a "cheap" accommodation in Macau was the most difficult job I had done so far. It's a casino place so what do I expect. We were hoping that Airbnb could help us but most of the cheap ones are already outside Macau. It wasn't an option due to the fact that we need visa for us to stay in mainland China.
With so many comparisons done, we settled to stay at San Tung Fong Commercial Inn. I've booked it through booking.com which was very easy and it offered a pay at the property option. I preferred this since it's international and international or conversion charges to my credit card will cost a lot.
It was difficult for us to find the place but after going around for several times, we were able to find it. Thanks to those people who tried to help us give the direction.
Upon entering the hotel, all our tiredness were gone. LOL! Unfortunately, the receptionist who tried to assist us couldn't speak English so we had to wait for someone who can. You have to have a very good ear in listening to their way of speaking English. If not, it will take a long time for both of you to understand each other. My experience with zero English students finally paid off! hahaha!
The hotel required a MOP100 deposit which was understandable considering the room almost has all the things you need. We booked a deluxe family room which cost us HK$900. It's expensive but it was worth the money. The room was spacious for 3 people, the beds were really comfortable you don't want to get up. The room includes a flat screen TV, a percolator (preferable for coffee addicts like us), drinking glasses and a hair dryer! This is necessary during the winter season!
The bathroom was really spacious I can even do my workout there. LOL! What's interesting was that everything you need when you take a shower is already provided. I so loved their shower gel! It felt so good on the skin. I just forgot to take a photo of it I might find it here. I really enjoyed taking a long shower.
What I have noticed though is that there was no one to assist us with our luggage. Perhaps it isn't common overseas as it was the same when we traveled to Taiwan. Perhaps I will just enjoy having those in my country. LOL!
Overall, staying at San Tong Fung Commercial Inn was one of my wonderful experience! Will I stay there again should I visit Macau the second time? If I have a budget for such price, I would definitely do!
