Reviewed Jul 22, 2026We are from Guangzhou, China, and my friend is from Macau, China. We were a group of five people, including three children, and we had a fantastic stay at Peninsula Motel. The room was very spacious, with the perfect amount of space for the kids to relax and enjoy themselves. We especially loved the outdoor area, where the children could explore, enjoy the fresh air, and look up at the beautiful night sky and stars in the evening. The property felt very safe, peaceful, and quiet, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Everything was well maintained — the shower had plenty of hot water, the bathroom was clean, and the rooms were comfortable and spacious. We all had a wonderful and relaxing stay, and it was a great place for a family trip. We would definitely recommend Peninsula Motel to other families looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

It’s dated. First impression is important. When we arrived, there was rubbish all over the driveway from a rubbish bin that had lost its top. The reception wasn’t staffed(not really a problem) but the person that I assume ran the place yells from the property next door. “Go inside and look on the list” “what number does it say” “just go there, it’s open” If they refresh the place, new linen, hire someone to welcome guests on check in. It wouldn’t be bad
