Hotel Maputo,lda

Ok

I had a wonderful stay here! Location is optimal for exploring Maputo on foot. The room was large and spacious, with a large and comfortable bed, air conditioning, electric kettle, tea and coffee making supplies, a mini fridge, a flatscreen television with international news and entertainment channels (roughly half in English), ample luggage storage, an electronic safe, an excellent buffet breakfast with many local and international options like fried and boiled eggs, fresh fruits and veggies, breads and spreads, beans, cooked meat dishes, etc. (7am-10am), friendly and helpful staff, a full gym with cardio machines, cable machines and free weights (I really loved this aspect and even used the gym to train for 2 hours after checkout!), and a conference centre. The hotel is very new and modern, but there is a bit of water damage in some of the rooms (ceilings and baseboards namely). I am not exactly sure where this came from. The only negative aspects I can think of were that the water pressure in the shower was rather low and there were mosquitos in my room the second night, but I don’t think this is necessarily the fault of the hotel. Free luggage storage is offered at this hotel if you need to hold your luggage after you checkout. There are many shops, restaurants and cafes nearby. Super Spar is about a 15 minutes walk from the hotel. Overall, I had a great stay here, and for the price, I was impressed with all that the hotel offered! Thanks for a lovely stay.

Property needs remodeling. Holes in the walls, cockroaches, and water damage in the room.

Well located hotel, no frills, spacious and comfortable rooms. There are many things in the room (especially bathroom) that are either a bit broken or missing (the handheld bidet was clearly missing, the shower and the washbasin drains were a bit clogged up), but overall it doesn’t affect the stay too much. Initially it took some time to get things in order, for instance the AC and Tv remote both were not working, and it took them more than an hour (and me to go down twice) before they finally came up with me and finally replaced the batteries. But otherwise for just a night or two nights stay it’s quite decent!

This last stay was my third at this hotel. It’s greatest advantage is it’s location. But every stay has been marred by surely staff, rooms that only have amenities for one person when they had been payed for double occupancy, no drinking water in the room, broken aircon and badly managed breakfasts. Stay if the location and price suits you but expect less than decent service.
