City of Dreams- The Countdown Hotel

Staff were nice

Nothing to mention

The view was amazing. Try to get a room facing the Venetian. I was astounded by the view. It was by far the best part of the experience. I can also compliment the size of the rooms which were generous. The house of dancing water is amazing too... but expensive. I must also give this hotel credit for being much more reasonably priced than other hotels in the immediate area. It is certainly good value.

The bathroom is odd... the toilet is separate, with no sink in the toilet room, and the shower is over a bath... no separate shower cubicle. The glass wall over half the bath makes it extremely difficult to turn on the shower without getting a nice cold splash of water. The bathroom set up really reminded me of an old unmodernised British terrace house that has the same bathroom set up as it has had for over half a century. The old fashioned bathroom was very much at odds with the rest of the room which was modern. It should also be noted that there is no 'typical' hotel restaurant and breakfast buffet. It is not hard to find food options in Macau, and room service is available... just be prepared that you won't have a typical morning hotel buffet. Finally, the queues at reception for check-in and out are ridiculous. The hotel has built a giant swanky reception, with two tiny desks, typically manned by only two people, and at most able to accommodate four. This is ridiculous. Halfway through the check-in queue, I wondered whether it would be easier just to go to a new hotel.
