I was after a heritage hotel with modern interiors/fittings but the sole hotel that came up in my online search did not have good ratings. Casa Real came up as a hotel with a typical Portuguese building that's newly refurbished. I'm glad I chose this hotel because it was really nice and relaxing to step into this homey hotel at the end of a tiring day.

We stayed in a studio which was ultra spacious - 2 double beds, a sofa, writing desk, dining table and spacious bathroom. I really can't ask for more and it was really smoke-free in the non smoking room that I asked for.

It's a bit of a stretch to think that one could walk from the hotel and the ferry terminal. While the actual distance on foot may be near due to certain shortcuts which I did not discover, the extremely busy roads are not really conducive to walking.

I would highly recommend fellow travellers to consider this hotel if they are not after the glitz of the new casino hotels. For the price of an ordinary room in one of the new 5-star casino hotels, you are able to enjoy the space and comfort of a studio at Casa Real. I was also delighted with the lobby cafe which offered freshly squeezed juice at a very affordable price akin to hawker prices in Singapore.

Booked 3 non-smoking big rooms on 8th floor of hotel during the first week of December 2012.
Enjoyed our stay there. Hotel is 5 minute walk to the Fisherman's wharf which was decorated for the Christmas season. Room is very clean, spacious and well equipped with the basic amenity.
It is surrounded by many restaurants and good eating places.
Hotel runs a free bus shuttle every halfly to the Hong Kong ferry terminal and other places of interest.

Travelling as a couple, we arrived late in the evening, checked in quickly and got a huge double room (~25sqm - though I was later told this is the standard for Macau). Hotel is 10mins walking from the ferry terminal which is very convenient. They also have a shuttle, but we missed it that evening. only downsize of the location is the fact that it is a bit far from the center, 15mins walking or 5eur by cab.

Hotel is very clean, breakfast consistent with a good offering of both western and Asian food.Most of the staff was friendly, especially the luggage and the door boys. Room service also very prompt and efficient. At breakfast however, 2 staff members were talking about us thinking we don't understand them (my gf however could speak madarin) - doesn't really matter in the end, but just saying.

Good choice if you don't want to spend more to stay at Lisboa or the other 5 star hotels, would definitely recommend overall.
