5Footway Inn

Top choice in Macau


Converted from a love motel, 5Footway Inn has 24 small clean rooms, vibrant paintings in communal areas and excellent English-speaking staff. Breakfast isn't offered, but there's free tea and coffee on tap. It's opposite the Sofitel Macau at Ponte 16, which means you can take its free shuttle buses to and from the ferry terminal. The rate for a double drops to MOP$500 on off-season weekdays.
