The service was horrible! We tried to contact the hotel to cancel the booking 4 days in advance but they did not pick up their calls neither did they respond to our messages. We asked Expedia to help us get a refund since we had paid for 18 nights and ended up only staying there for 10 nights as we were moving towns due to a emergency response. The front desk manager communicated to Expedia that we stayed at the Hotel for the 18 nights which is a big lie. I find this to be very unprofessional.

Other than lack of professionalism on the from desk side, the hotel amenities were excellent, huge pool and clean rooms.

Nice and quiet green place needing new showers

An older establishment which is very spacious and quiet and green with nice pool, gym, tennis and restaurant. Breakfast is very good with lot of choices of hot and cold foods. Nice location close to un and embassies and the main roads. Staff can be nicer and service is very slow for room service or when need something like it took them 3 hours to bring mosquito spray after one night didn’t bring at all. There are lot of mosquitoes maybe due to heavy trees around. The rooms are quite large with very good comfortable bed and linen. Tv and ac is good as well as net. Toilet needs to definitely be looked at with the cheapy kind of shower with the handle not a proper shower head. I think that’s my major problem here. Overall it’s nice place which is quiet and big rooms with nice veranda outside but can use some new toilet works and faster service.

Excellent Hotel, but with a gated community feel

It is a wonderful, world class hotel in a safe and elite neighborhood. This latter part may be an issue to those who want to be in the midst of it all. It is not in the midst of all the action. It has a secluded, gated community feel to it.

Staff were wonderful & very helpful with direction. Room clean & very comfortable after a longer day at cement plant. Pool & gym & other out door services welcome to help you relax. Food served at restaurant was good & value for money. I plan to come back during my December break with family. Moutie Boomgaard from South Africa

Nice and comfortable hotel

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The sports center and spa were really great! Loved the spa treatment I got. It was a bit frustrating that most of the staff do not speak English so the language barrier became a problem at times. Especially when ordering food in the restaurant. The set up encourages you to exercise. Lovely stroll to the rooms and availability of sporting facilities. Overall, I would definitely stay there again.

Nice grounds&facilities, quiet diplomatic district

This hotel has an excellent gym and swimming pool, and is less than 20-minute stroll to beachside restaurants. Staff are very helpful, and the buffet breakfast excellent. Rooms are rather small, but with good amenities. It is away from the center, however... but not more than a ten-minute, USD five dollar taxi ride

Not very happy

I booked two rooms at the Girassol.the first room was an normal room at $240 and the second room was an Executive room at $289.00 imagine to my dismay when both rooms were exactly the same. I went to reception and was told that they are different when they were not.I find this very unproffesional and it amounts to false advertising.I will not be staying at the Girassol again. Secoundly as a businessman sharing a room a gap between the beds would be nice,however this is close to impossible because of the size of the room.There are a lot of new hotels going up around the Girrassol so maybe this willhelp them change there attitude towards there customers in the future.

Great gym, outdated otherwise and not friendly

In theory the idea of villas is great but what couldve been a nice urban oasis was just a pretty outdated place where the staff was frankly rude and indifferent. The food at the restuarnt was actually delicisious but white tablecloth formal option-- no bar or simple food-- was just annoying. Outdate policy on charging for internet. Room had mold spots and acrylic shower tub felt like I couldve stepped though it. Closet smelled like mold. Gym was great though.

not worth 230US a day !

the hotel is well kept and reasonably comfortable, however the staff are aloof and quite unhelpfull. Despite the stated opening time for breakfast being 7am , the earliest breakfast was ready in the week long stay was 7.20am. upon several requests i was assured this would be remedied, yet nothing changed. i was extremely dissapointed in the general lack of professionalism of the staff amd front desk management, in fact i thought they were rude in some instances.

Girassol hotel was a pleasant surprise as I wasnt sure what to expect in Maputo. It's located within walking distance from the beach and offers 4 star quality service.

Girassol Indy

The hotel has a few shortcomings which I would like to highlite - Our overall stay - fantastic, but the we found the personnel not friendly at all at times and a total lack of commitment on service. The shower in our room was not up to standard, the aircon and TV did not work and we had to ask them twice to fix it. The restaurant opened late everyday(30 mins). I tried to book a massage for my wife but couldn't because the sistems were down and the lady never phoned me to let me know if it was fixed, so maybe it was down the whole time. I found the guards sleeping twice - even before 20h00 - and that was shocking for me. The bar at the swimming pool wasn't stocked at times and the drinks not cold. If they can work on the small detail and let you feel more at home I believe this can be one of the best in Maputu. I will however go back there and I hope thet they sort this out.

Girassol Indy Congress Hotel and Spa in Maputo,

The village hotel gives an ambience of relaxation. Our room was neat and kept clean all the time. We particularly enjoyed the gym facility. The hotel itself is situated in the upmarket suburb of Maputu not far from the country's presidential home. There is a general sense of safety.

The reception staff dutifully helped us to organize sight seeing tours and booked us to a night club for an evening entertainment. A taxi was available 24 hours within the hotel premises and that made traveling very convenient.

Not for business

Everything is slow in this place. Laundry service takes 48hs. The bar is not part of the hotel, so you have to pay in cash and can not sign and include in the hotel bill. My reservation wasn't ok, again (and I saw this happening to more people). If you want a late check out, be ready to pay 50% of the daily rate. You check in is at 14hs, but check out is 12hs. And you will need a taxi (20 minutes to arrive) to go anywhere.
In the other hand, It is definitely a nice place with an excellent Gym. Restaurant is good, but too expesive to Maputo. Would I come back? Yes, if not in a business trip.

Oasis amidst the muck

For the first time arriving in Maputo on business was a culture shock to me. It is a single sprawling rubbish dump, and Girassol Indy Village offered a welcome escape, being like a well-kept little village on its own, in one of the \"better\" suburbs of Maputo. Unless speaking Portuguese, communication is a bit of a problem and can give rise to some dissatisfaction.

Hotel de bom preço, mas com algumas precariedades

Hotel em meio a um bairro de classe média alta e bem seguro, porém isolado. Os taxistas da porta cobram uma fortuna para levar as pessoas às distâncias irrisórias. Por isso pergunte o preço, negocie: não precisa ter medo de cara feia! Afinal, são taxistas, em sua maioria, da época colonial, afeitos a um tratamentos pouco afetuoso.

O hotel é bom, num modo geral! O preço é justo e o restaurante é fantástico! Excelente café da manhã e as refeições são muito bem preparadas e saborosa. Às 4af. há um bufê de bacalhau! Uma delícia (para quem gosta)...

A grande questão são as instalações:
1. Área da piscina: cadeiras, guarda-sóis e a própria piscina precisando de uma reforma. Mas se você não liga pra isso, dá pra aproveitar o ambiente, ainda que o senhor que trabalha no bar seja um grosso;
2. O quarto em si não é ruim. O problema é o banheiro e o serviço de quarto. O banheiro está precisando de uma reforma e as camareiras precisam de uma reciclagem, pois elas levam sua toalha de banho e deixam o tapete pendurando.
3. A recepção têm funcionários pouco proativos. Parecem depender da anuência de alguém para serem corteses.

Por fim, pode-se tranquilamente se hospedar ali, mas tenha em mente que o pessoal e as instalações precisam ser reciclados.

Séjour de 4 jours en couple : hotel avec bon emplacement , taxis disponibles ,
très bon restaurant varié : le buffet du dimanche midi est à découvrir : varié et copieux .
Belle piscine avec joli plage-gazon : seul bémol , les chambres bien que grandes et spacieuses demanderaient une mise à niveau peinture , personnels efficaces.
Hotel intéressant pour un séjour court à Maputo : quartier résidentiel avec nombreuses résidences d'ambassades.

Com a chegada do voo ido de Portugal, que fez a entrada no Hotel acontecer perto das 00h00, ocorreu que esse Hotel não tem um simples serviço de refeição rápida, uma sandwich! Tivemos que deslocar-nos a um restaurante, localizado a 3 kms, para podermos comer. Pela sua localização, qualquer deslocação ao centro da cidade só pode fazer-se por taxi ou viatura propria-rent a car. No check-out, embora a estadia tivesse sido previamente paga, fomos surpreendidos com uma conta de 850MT, cerca de 23 €, por um transfer do aeroporto, que não tinhamos solicitado antes, nem de cujo custo fomos informados antecipadamente. Lamentavel!

Fantastiske muligheder for at motionere i Maputo

Hotellet har to meget veludstyrede motionscentre og en rimelig stor swimmingpool, som dog ikke bliver rengjort ofte nok. Faciliteterne er åben fra tidlig morgen til sen aften.
Hotellet har en virkelig god morgenbuffet og maden på menukortet er både god, rigelig og til en rimelig pris, og det koster ikke noget, at få det bragt til dit værelse.
Der er også spa med det, der skal være dér.
Indkvarteringen er i bungalows, og standard værelserne er veludstyret med kabel-TV, A/C, Internet (mod betaling af et rimeligt gebyr), køleskab, te- og kaffe tilberedning etc., og der er også lejligheder med køkken.
Ulemperne ved hotellet er bl.a., at det ligger i et villakvarter, hvor der ikke er indkøbsmuligheder, spisesteder, underholdning etc.
Man kan betale med udenlandsk valuta, men hotellet veksler ikke, og der er langt til hæveautomat og vekslingskontor.
Vil du bo godt på en velorganiseret sikkert hotel, have mulighed for at motionere og spise godt er det stedet!
