A well positioned hotel in the Baixa of Maputo, close to all amenities.

Clean rooms, friendly staff and a nice outdoor pool.

Rooms are better than rival hotels, which can charge twice as much.

While the staff were friendly and attentive, the overall condition of the hotel was disappointing. The facilities and decor are very outdated, and the property is clearly in need of significant refurbishment.
Despite the excellent service, the worn appearance and lack of modern amenities detract from the overall experience.

The drinks were not diverse. They only had fruit cocktails, orange juice. They did not include Apple Juice/Cranberry Juice.

Language barrier, most of the hotel staff cannot speak English. This was terrible

They need to improve on that.

The hotel was kind of located on the outskirts or everywhere. It was a nice place, but with no other restaurants or stores around. You had to catch a car wherever you wanted to go. There was only one restaurant, but the food was pretty good. The bar was limited.

It is my favourite hotel in Maputo good rate for good service. I would like to recommend Expedia more transparency in pricing. In the web page it appears that VIP rate includes breakfast, but in the morning you discover that it doesn't . Is better to correct the web page. I am not so much keen of having huge breakfast in the morning but I don't like to be remembered by the waiters that my rate doesn't include it. Thank you

Hotel room wasn’t clean. The shower hard mould on the tiles and the shower head was covered in scale. Only a few of the shower head holes let the water through. The room had a sickly smell of wet/damp carpet. The room service was poor after 10pm. It came from the bar and is at best poor snacks. The breakfast wasn’t great but ok at a push. The reception staff were good and the bar looked decent.

My wife was there with me and she was so upset that she couldn’t anything without Wifi. Upgrade the system guys. It’s not the first time in Maputo on business trip but to work at this hotel forget internet connections

Great hotel if you are able-bodied

I have stayed here before as it is in walking distance of the firms I need to see. It is not a bad hotel, the service is reasonable and the rooms are comfortable.

On my last visit however, an accident left me with a broken leg which needed surgery. The hotel were very good about keeping my room open for me and on my return moved me to a disabled room. This is where the stay fell apart! The hotel has no wheelchair and wheelchair access is very difficult (the ramp in front has cobble tiles, the lift is small and maneouvering around the room is tricky as the furniture doens't leave much space to move around.

The disable room is very seldom let out so the safe did not work, the phone did not work (reported it twice!) and there were a few other small issues which they quickly sorted out for me. The staff were very friendly though and keen to help.

It is a reasonably good hotel if you are able-bodied, terrible if you are not!

poor service

Never had so many negative issues.
the hotel staff does not have enough training.
But first i have to comment on the very nice food quality. the only problem was the training of the waiters.
Everything went wrong on this stay; they didnt have my reservation, every time we left room, key dodnt work, houskeeping didnt fill up tea/coffee, the pool was not kept cleen. When we went to the pool, noone made sure we got towels and cushions for the sunbeds. We had to ask for drink service. when they did mistake on bill they couldnt fix it. we had to take it as credit.

Good business hotel; Service could be friendlier

This was a business stay. Hotel is well located close to major businesses. The front desk service was excellent. The service in the restaurant and pool bar area was service \"without a smile\" on the whole. The rooms are a generous size. The hot water can take quite some time to come through when showering, so please be patient. The airport shuttle is free, but if you are booking a shuttle to the airport from the hotel please make sure you allow plenty of time, since my shuttle arrived 25 minutes later than I had booked. The hotel is only 15-20 minutes from the airport depending on traffic. Pool area is nice for evening drinks. Wifi worked well throughout the hotel. Overall a good choice for business travellers.

I have stayed at many hotels in Maputi and the VIP Grand hotel has become my regular destination over the last year for my business visits to Maputo. The accomadation is the best value for money you will get in this city.
Service is friendly but slow and food is ok. There are a few good neighbourhood restaurants nearby.

I will go back

I stayed in hotels in Maputo several times a year on business, and as I am on a budget, I don't stay at the 5 stars.... This was the best hotel I have stayed in and had the best nights sleep I think I have ever had in Maputo over the years. Part was the parking - I didn't worry about returning to my car in the morning and finding parts missing.

Almost there

The hotel was okay, but not great.
The location is the best thing about it.
Several small things show that the hotel is not quite what it aims to be.
Paper numbers stuck to the wall indicate room numbers, the \"shower\" drains so slowly that the bath fills up while you are using it. I also had to go back to reception at least once a day as the room key stopped working.
Breakfast is ample, but very greasy.
Would still use the hotel again, mostly because of how close it is to everything.

Pleasant stay, but not 5 star.

We enjoyed the 1 night stay, friendly staff, clean room etc. However, we do not believe that this is a 5 star hotel according to International standards. Perhaps 4 star would be more appropriate.
Overall, a pleasant stay nonetheless.

Very poor value for money. Never again

I stayed 7 nights at this supposedly 5-star hotel. A shuttle bus picked me up at the airport which was really nice and for free. Location is acceptable but far from perfect if u are doing business and consider that taxis are not cheap. Hotel infrastructure is just below average whereas rates are not. Reception area is spacious and well furnished. Swimming pool is rather small but correct as well as the poolside area. There is no fitness room. Breakfast is acceptable but less than average for a 5*. Bar is ok. Restaurant is a no-no-no. Inedible food. Don't even try it!! Rooms are comfortable and bathrooms are rather small but still acceptable. But rooms are not properly isolated so they are noisy. A/C is good but noisy. Reception staff is professional but not friendly at all. Service in general is UNFRIENDLY and staff will never go the extra mile. Waiters would not even say \"Good morning\" to their guests. Room service took 45 minutes to bring sparkling water and ice. The free internet service is TERRIBLE and goes at turtle speed (0.06 Mbps download) Unfortunately I had booked through Expedia and had to pay my 7 nights in advance (big mistake) Otherwise I'd walked away. So all in all, a VERY BAD EXPERIENCE with VERY POOR VALUE FOR MONEY. So walk away from this hotel unless everything else is fully booked. Will not recommend it and I'll never come back.

Room Tip: Avoid rooms facing the street

Good But Not worth for the Money

I liked the stay but I felt that the hotels service is not as good as it should be. For example we asked for an extra blanked around 11:00 PM and the room service told us that every body has gone or sleeping so we can't give now and than they didn't pick the phone by calling several times. Other than that everything was good, The Night Shift Service is Week.

it was a good; exceptionally clean and tidy hotel. The price however (as all hotels in Maputo) is over priced by at least US$50 per night. Hotels are not cheap. All staff took immense pride in their work and work place. all staff from reception to cleaners to waiters were very friendly and welcoming. the inet was very good. what would have been nice is a a la carte menu as opposed to buffet dinner every night!! i will recommend this hotel.
