"Perched in a relatively isolated position...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."
"This is one of Macau's more secluded inexpensively priced hotels...Spotless rooms range from those facing inland to those with little balconies facing the distant sea." Full review

Mid-Range
"The 90-room Guia Hotel is a mid-range, small-scale alternative to the many mega-hotels in the area." Full review
