The East Asia is housed in a classic green-and-white colonial-style building and, though it's been remodelled, has not lost all of its charm. The rooms are simple but spacious. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

In the heart of Macau's casino district, the Fortuna is a solid mid-range hotel. There is a small but flashy casino downstairs, but you don't need to be a gambler to crash here - it's a safe bet and it won't cost you the earth. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Tucked away in the north of town, beyond Guia Hill, the Fu Hua boasts decent rooms for the money and fairly efficient service. It's in an old but busy part of town where you won't see too many tourists. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Perched in a relatively isolated position (by Macau's compact standards, that is) on the side of Guia Hill, home to an old Portuguese fortress and lighthouse, the busy little Hotel Guia is a good value option with plenty of character. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Backpacker alert! If you want to meet your pack-lugging fellows, this welcoming little place is your best bet. Of course, as a backpacker's favourite it's far from luxurious, but the central location, the price and smiling Miss Shirley make up for that. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

The Sun Sun is a perfectly respectable mid-range option in one of Macau's more interesting neighbourhoods by the Inner Harbour. The service is reliable and personable and the 178 rooms are thoroughly comfortable. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Talk about a surprise. Here is a hotel that combines a great location with some rather nice new rooms and not a prostitute to be seen! Okay, its not five-star, but for the money this is about as good as it gets in Macau. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Walking along busy Rua das Lorchas you could be forgiven for thinking the six-storey Macau Masters was just another portside warehouse. But the shabby exterior hides a fairly comfortable and smartly maintained hotel that is good value for the money. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

For years the Mandarin Oriental has staked a claim to being the best hotel in Macau. And while a swathe of reclaimed land and the vast, ugly Sands Casino have robbed it of its waterfront location, the rooms, food and whole experience here are hard to top. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This inn has rooms furnished with some fantastic Portuguese-style décor overlooking Cheoc Van Beach and has a relaxed atmosphere. It serves a good Sunday lunch buffet (around 120) and the restaurant has a nice bar area. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

At first glance this high-rise hotel is more Vatican City than Rio, which seems appropriate when you consider it is (for now at least) Macau's latest gambling cathedral. Located in the heart of the casino district, the Rio is a plush and not-quite-so-pricey option for punters. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This traditional-style guesthouse has survived since 1873 and definitely has character, though the cupboard-like rooms, separated by filmsy cardboard partitions, are pretty spartan and a few rooms are occupied by the homeless. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

If you've ever dreamed of staying in a street where part of an Indiana Jones movie was shot, in a place that is an (unofficial) old brothel, then the San Va is for you. It's also about the cheapest and most charismatic lodging in town. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

If you're looking for something similar to a backpackers hub, head to this tiny, friendly guesthouse. Rooms are basic but clean, with shared bathrooms. It's located above the CTM shop. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

The Hotel Lisboa, one of Macau's most famous landmarks, is known locally for its unrestrained outlandishly gaudy looks and its raunchy atmosphere.

Rooms are small and the service so-so, but this is a good-value casino-free option along the casino strip. A plus is a regular substantial discount (40% or more). Full Lonely Planet Review ›

The landmark São Tiago is built into the ruins of the 17th-century Barra Fort and is one of the most romantic places to stay in Macau as well as arguably one of the most historical. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This palace of a place, in a quiet street high above Avenida da República, is as close as you'll get to staying at the legendary Bela Vista across the road. This good-value, five-star hotel has a wonderful recreation centre, with a huge heated pool. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This elegant Victorian boutique hotel is set amidst a tribal-hut African restaurant and Babylon Casino, reminding you that you're in the middle of a theme park. The rooms are decent and most have a view of the waterfront. It also has very affordable shuttle services to Macau/Taip… Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This five-star American-style resort has huge, impressive rooms with high ceilings, and almost everything automated. Bonuses include its outdoor swimming pool and some very serious restaurants. Full Lonely Planet Review ›
