We recently stayed at the recently opened Caravel Hotel in the Macau Peninsula and very much enjoyed this property. This is a modern boutique hotel that is well designed and comfortable, a good option for those looking for midrange places in the peninsula not too far from the World Heritage area. Reservation was made on booking.com. Payment was taken at the time of booking and. Email confirmation of booking was received immediately. We were well received upon arrival and found front desk staff to be friendly and helpful throughout out stay. Property location is a bit tricky if you are unfamiliar with Macau. It is on the small street of Rua Do Guimaraes, just a couple minutes walk from Sofitel at Ponte 16 which is your closest major reference point. You can walk to important historic sights in 5 minutes from here and you'll find plenty of local eateries in the area. The property is designed in the manner of a heritage building with a nautical theme and concept. The room is tastefully decorated, modern and being relatively new, everything is in good working order. Bed comfort was fine, allowing good sleep. TV, wifi, A/C, lighting, fridge, room safe all worked just fine. There is a free use 4G handy phone, desk area with chair, kettle, tea & coffee, expected closet space and a good sized bathroom with modern fixtures and a nice shower. Room space is fair for Macau properties and overall more comfortable than usual. Lobby includes a fair amount of seating. They have handy maps of Macau and MGTO event information. Do pick these up and make use as they will greatly help you with navigating the streets around Caravel Hotel. Overall, we were quite happy with our first stay at Caravel Hotel. This is a really good new property and nice addition to the small list of midrange properties that we like on the Macau Peninsula. Will gladly stay here again during weekend strips to Macau.

We had discovered, tried and really enjoyed Caravel Hotel back in Jan 2020 just before the pandemic started. Recently, made our first overnight trip back to Macau three years later when the city reopened to quarantine free travel. As luck would have it, our first stay was again at Caravel Hotel on Rua Do Guimaraes on the Macau Peninsula. Very pleased to find that the hotel has changed very little since 2020. Our room felt little used, had a near new hotel feel to it. All furnishing was in very good condition, same with bathroom fixtures. Decor was a mix of nautical and local culture & heritage. Space fine for the room rate. Importantly the bed was comfortable, allowing for quality rest. TV had a couple of English channels, similar to what you find with local broadcast and cable all over Macau. Wifi worked perfectly, room lighting good, shower water pressure just fine. Room has a hair dryer and safe as well. Check-in was fine, staff were friendly and spoke English very well. They have left luggage service if you arrive early or are departing late. Lobby area is a bit small, similar to what you find with 2-3 star properties on the peninsula. Location is a bit tricky if you are unfamiliar with Macau. They are a few minutes walk from the Sofitel Ponte 16 Hotel and if you have a map printed out they are easy enough to find. Basically, Caravel is similar to quite a few of the midrange priced properties on the Macau Peninsula. They are just newer and as such have nicer rooms that show less age, wear and tear compared to the older properties at similar room rates. We will very likely stay here again during future trips over from Hong Kong.

Kati (the manager) and her team (including associates Harvey and Apple, as well as 妹姐, the cleaning lady) offered friendly and competent hospitality during my month-long stay at the hotel from April to May 2021. The rate was affordable and the hotel was extra clean, which was extremely important to me during the pandemic. Being homesick and away from my family in the US, I felt well taken care by the entire staff. I would definitely recommend Caravel Hotel to anyone!
