Really great location - close to multiple restaurants and my work. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were exceptionally good (Isabel (I think) and Cecilia at reception were wonderfully helpful and hospitable).

A solid business hotel with beautiful view of the room overlooking the bay and the bridge. Bed is big and super comfortable. Balcony openable for fresh air. Ate two times in restaurant, need serious upgrading as most produce are not high quality nor tasty. Staff friendly and professional. TV channels great with netflix as a plus for windy days

Maputo experience

The room was clean and l must commend the bathroom is clean. The staff are friendly and welcoming. My only problem is the food l think they need to review their menu. Room service the food was not good.

4/10 Fair

Walking distance to downtown (20-30 minutes). The grounds are nice because they have a nice view to the ocean and a nice lawn. All the rooms face the ocean. The food is not good. Breakfast was very limited in its selection. Good place for a social, but not to stay. Rooms, gym, and general areas need updating.

10/10 Exceptional

the Flamingo club room was very nice spacious and comfortable though no mini bar. Overall I love this place and always go back despite any negative experiences Check in was terrible. that reception no idea what is an online booking so i had to give her my phone with booking confirmation not she even understood that. I specifically requested to check in early as I has an event starting at 1pm at the hotel and i need to shower and dress for event. the receptionist instead of checking of a room is available first gave me a lecture how early check ins aren't allowed, but will check with her supervisor, which is what she ought to have done in the first place instead of making up her own responses.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Loved all the old features that have been retained. The wooden staircase was really beautiful. The views from the pool area were also spectacular.
