Reviews and Ratings
For my recent stay, I found that the hotel offers rooms to an amazing standard, especially with a good shower and comfortable amenities. Ensure you opt for a sea-facing room for a stunning view across the harbor entrance. The service was friendly, although there was room for improvement in experience. The hotel's default location between the 'old' city and the newer part was convenient, offering a vantage point in Maputo. The dining experience was satisfactory, offering a buffet with various options, leaning more towards European dishes. Overall, my stay was pleasant with some minor areas that could be enhanced.
My stay at the hotel was more than comfortable for my business visit, and the sea-facing room provided an amazing view across the harbor entrance. The friendly and impeccable service added to the overall experience. However, the rooms could use some updating to match the outstanding standard of the view and service.
