PENSÃO ELEGANTE (BARRA)

I was pleasantly surprised by the experience, especially considering the price point. Here's a breakdown: Pros: - **Room Size**: Much more spacious compared to most hotels in Hong Kong, which was a big relief. - **Comfort**: The bed is on the firm side, but the pillows are incredibly soft, and the duvet felt new and fluffy, making for a comfortable sleep. - **Air Conditioning**: Worked perfectly, keeping the room cool and pleasant. - **Amenities**: The room was well-equipped with a toothbrush, comb, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, a water heater, a small wardrobe, a table and chair, and a hair dryer. - **Location**: Very close to a bus stop, making it easy to get around. Also, there are plenty of food options nearby, including convenient stores and non-halal food stalls (for those interested) . Cons: - **Toilet Size**: The toilet is quite small, designed for an average Asian build. If you’re taller or of European size, it might be a bit cramped—you may even need to bend your knees in certain positions. ### Additional Notes for Muslim Travelers: If you're looking for halal food, I highly recommend visiting **Indonesia Warong Amar Berkah**, a bus ride with fewer stops and few meters from the station you'll find the shop snuggle between pastry shops. The food there is delicious and a must-try, worth the price! Overall, **Pensão Elegante** offers great value for its price, with a strategic location and good amenities. Just be prepared for the small toilet and firm bed! Would definitely stay here again for a budget-friendly trip.

The hotel's location was fine and the facilities were all up to scratch, but our room had a very strong smell of cigarettes from the minute we checked in - either previous occupants had been smoking or perhaps someone who worked at the hotel? It was raining a lot in Macau during our stay so we were also unable to open our windows to try and get rid of the smell, but overall staff were helpful and the hotel served as a good enough place for us to spend a night during our trip. 

The accommodation near bus stops and key tourist attractions. There are a lot of restaurants and shops around. Nice staff. The room has basic equipment, but in my opinion it is sufficient. Highly recommend.
