Rooms are big and clean and views of ocean beautiful, but hotel is huge and soulless, like being in a marble factory, with slow service, poor conference support, strange smell from some air-conditioning, and a seedy strip club in the basement with the clientele that that brings.

Fully Chinese hotel that seems like it was nice when built but hasn’t been maintained and corners were cut throughout. Cigarette smoke from other rooms drifted into my room at night which was uncomfortable, all gym equipment was broken, and the room was missing important furniture. No patio items despite a nice patio, only two pillows on king bed with old hard mattress. The good things were that the wifi worked well and the pool was big and cool. It was also nice to be so close tot he conference centre. I wouldn’t stay here again, but it was fine to sleep and get some work done.

Loved breakfast options. Only two issues, internet speed has been improved a lot, but consistency is the problem. No movie channels is the other problem.

Poor internet

I stayed for 5 nights and the internet was very poor and the TV was very old with virtually no entertainment. The meals were also not to the international standards. The hotel is well built and has good interior decor but I was very disappointed with these 3 things internet, food and entertainment

Ocean Front Hotel with friendly staff

Clean rooms with Indian Ocean view. This is my fifth stay here and they really improved the breakfast but there is always room to grow. I wanted to book a safari tour but really couldn’t find a staff who can book me a tour. There should be a tour desk at the hotel. The restaurant and front desk staff are always very friendly and that’s one of the reasons I keep coming back to this hotel. Overall very good experience.

If you looking for luxury or clout don’t go here…but if you looking for elegant,class,presidential suit and comfort beyond your wildest imagination go here! Where they talk about 5 star hotel they talk about this! This Hotel is presidential feeling! For some reason I really enjoyed chines food funny part the food was actually good for me as well..went the like 3X already

Service is horrible and people are not interseted in providing service.
The hotel staff and management is after money. Even if you are dying they will not give you water until you pay for it. Have travelled so much but never seen such a kind of service. Very furstrating.

Unpleasant checkout experience

Hotel rooms all have a fantastic ocean view . Right next door to a small shopping Centre. Rooms are nice but fixtures are of a low quality and some are already coming loose. Breakfast was ok. Nothing to rave about .Checkout was unpleasant when I was gestured towards another person at the counter quite rudely.

Reminded me of Hotels in Moscow in the 80's and 90's without the \"Babushka's\"on every floor.
Staff friendly but absolutley untrained in providing an acceptable level of Service for such a Hotel Rate

Great hotel in Maputo

Rooms really spacious, breakfast needs to be improved.
The facilities are great, spa is amazing. A very well equipped gym and games room.
The Chinese restaurant onsite serves great food.
There’s also a casino, movies and shopping mall on the premises.
The parking is within the grounds so your vehicle is safe.
I always stay there when I’m Maputo.

Was ok. A hotel developed in support by the Chinese. Lots of facilities. Stayed here for one night arriving late and leaving early. Close by the modern side of the Maputo on the beach front with a mall within the same location.

But please teach your staff members how to communicate in English. Your guests mostly are English speaking, it makes it a mission to properly communicate.

Stay in Maputo Gloria hotel

Stay was pleasant with excellent service at the breakfast lounge as well as the Chinese restauarant situated inside the hotel itself. The Chinese restaurant's food is excellent. Could consider correcting the menue as several errors are noted on the menue itself. The faults reported inside the room was acted upon immediately, were corrected immediately.

Maputo AFECC Gloria Hotel stay

We were booked from 04/05/2018 - 07/05/2018 and in that stay we were moved three times:
First moved from fifth floor because of blocked toilet.
Secondly moved from sixth floor - this time due to language barrier from the housekeeping lady we just saw her removing the bedding until a gentleman came to ask us to move to tenth floor, up to now I don't know what was wrong with the bed. Decoration is also a concern, painting workmanship in the rooms is of lower quality with much of the furniture left with white paint spatters and the fire extinguishers were also not user friendly - strictly Chinese
This is a nice establishment with spacious rooms and foyer area shows the designer have plans for future alterations. They targeted youth employment
I will definitely return in the future

Hi. My name is Koreisha Ramputh. I stayed at the Hotel form 3-6 April 18. room 819.
I was on a training and was very satisfied with hotel for the first 2 days. unfortunately the last night was very tarrying for me as there was someone knocking at my door thrice. First at 21:15 pm, then at 23:15 and then again at 00:17 a.m. I was alone and did not answer. I tried to call the reception, but the phone was not working. I called from my cell phone also to the hotel but no one picked up the phone. I told the reception what happened while checking out and was told that they will review the camera and let me know. I would be most grateful if you could view the camera on the5th night and let me have a feedback of who was knocking at my door. Thanking you. Rgds. koreisha.
