| Notice: Dear guests an friends of
the “Augusters Lodge” the former budget
hostel of Macao
We are still receiving
emails and phone calls from budget travelers
all over the world, who like(d) to enjoy an
affordable stay at our hostel due to our
well known reputation.
But as a new law(heavily
promoted and pushed by the powerful hotel
lobby) had been implemented, we could not
meet all the requirements, and were forced
to close, just as 279 other small hostels in
Macao.
For this reason, and the
lack of affordable accommodation in Macao,
we recommend following steps:
1. Instead of staying
overnight in Macao, stay in Hongkong, which
is safer and cheaper. Especially when you
travel with your family, this is by far the
better option.
2.
If you wish to visit Macao, please keep in
mind, that over the last years, the local
colour of Macau has changed. Actually due to
the lack of budget travelers, not visiting
Macao anymore, a lot of small businesses
closed, and the once colonial flair is almost
gone.
3. Take the ferry service
from Hongkong to Macau, it runs almost rock
around the clock. Spend your day in Macao
and return with the ferry.
4. We understand, that it might be frustrating not to be able to find a budget accommodation in Macao, but if you want to be ripped off by the expensive hotels and their connected casinos, you are free to do so. 5. All others are better
off to look for an affordable place in
Hongkong. Look at tripadvisor i.e.
Thank you for your
consideration and bon voyage
Your Augusters team
