Maputo AFECC Gloria Hotel

Maputo|2.89km from city centre
We have read the other reviews on this hotel and wonder which place they stayed - different hotel from us? Firstly the staff. We only speak English and had no problem whatsoever communicating with the staff -with whom we interacted on many levels. When we arrived our booking was not evident - it was booked for us less than an hour before by our insurance company. Two gentlemen sorted this out and I was shown me to our room. I was very impressed. Admittedly it did appear that we had been given a free upgrade but nonetheless it was very nice. Yes there are a lot of light switches but they are not that hard to figure out. The balcony was indeed a bonus. We had to spend a lot of time in the room as I had just come out of hospital after an unplanned operation on my ankle following an accident and we were waiting for flights home to be arranged. We stayed at the Gloria for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We thought that the choice of food for breakfast was excellent. Obviously we only sampled small parts of the menu but there was an extensive choice. Maybe we have bland taste as suggested by others but we thoroughly enjoyed the Chinese food in the restaurant. We ate one night at the Italian restaurant next to the shopping centre behind the hotel. This was also nice. I was unable to access the shower in our room properly due to my injury and asked for a plastic garden chair or similar. The lovely lady on reception arranged for a chair to be sent up. I said it was not suitable as it was too grand and would be ruined if it became wet. I was told it was a ”small sacrifice to make for a guest”. Exceptional customer service. In the end we managed to use the chair without getting it wet by using bin liners over it but the sentiment that it did not matter if I ruined the chair was greatly appreciated. We have absolutely no negative comments to make about the staff. High praise from us. Thank you.

Hotel Africa Maputo Business
4.1/57 Reviews
I stayed here for 15 nights as I was in the city on business. I rate the stay very positive all round. The room was comfortable and clean. It was also quiet, which is important to me as a light sleeper. The WiFi worked well. Staff were courteous, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the restaurant was always open when I went there for meals. Favourite dishes were meia frango and frango suspeito. Overall the price for the hotel stay was very reasonable. I'll certainly be returning there during my next trip to Maputo.
VIP Executive Suites Maputo
3.6/511 Reviews
Booked in by my company on a layover in Maputo. When we checked in we were told the elevator was broken and our rooms were on the 11th floor !! Room was was very shabby. Broken window, mould in the bathroom, broken wall sockets NO toilet paper. Not worth the $83 charged for the over night stay and in fact would never stay here again. WiFi was terrible and hardly able to connect. Would not recommend this place, nothing in this place relates to VIP !!! Avoid it.
Southern Sun Maputo
4/559 Reviews
We are on our way back to Southern Sun Maputo for our December 2023 holiday break. We were very fortunate to have chosen this venue for our April 2023 break and have no hesitation in returning. The Hotel is conveniently located and has all the amenities/facilities a couple would want for a romantic break. Business trips included. The Staff and Mangement are friendly and go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable and exciting. Collette and I actually had our planned stay extended twice whilst we were there. We just didn't want to leave. The restaurant is of the highest quality and the food fresh and delicious. The rooms are well equipped, neat and clean. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Management, Mark and John go out of their way to ensure that their guests receive the best service one could ask for. We are excited and look forward to returning and having another romantic holiday. Southern Sun Maputo should definitely be on any Travellers bucket list for a satisfying and memorable stay. Tony & Collette Dalton
The Quiet Corner Guest House
3.8/52 Reviews
This homestay is hidden in the alleys in the city of Maputo, the sign is very small, if you don't pay attention, you will miss it. Fortunately, the homestay has a paid pick-up service, so you can arrive smoothly from the plane. The room was not spacious, but it was very clean and quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. Open the window and see the beautiful courtyard. The bathroom is large, but the bath water temperature is difficult to control, sometimes too hot, sometimes too cold, I hope the boss can improve this problem. Breakfast is buffet style, go to the kitchen to prepare sandwiches, boil hot water for coffee or tea, or open the refrigerator to get milk or juice. The service staff are very kind and polite and provide information about nearby travel. The Portuguese boss also appears at the homestay and cares about the feeling of accommodation. The price is very good and good value for money. It is recommended that this homestay give to travelers with a low budget.
Vila Das Acácias
3.2/515 Reviews
The place was nice comfortable, the guy at reception is really nice and helpful. Location if you're looking to be in the downtown hustle and bustle area is key. The only bad experience was the cleaning stuff searching through my stuff and making it obvious that someone was looking for cash coz my passport was not taken, so if management can address this with the cleaning team.
Polana Serena Hotel
4.2/555 Reviews
Hotel Polana is run-down and their customer service are rude to those who are not white. I am not white and I ordered an orange juice with a gentle please and a smile. Perhaps my order was too small so when they placed it in front of me, there was no eye-contact, no, ”You're welcome” to my thank you and they simply walked away. There isn't even a coaster or a straw to the drink. However the white gentleman in the next table got the full good service for a cup of coffee. No one offers to open the doors of a car or greet guests with a smile despite staying here for a long time. I find the majority of the staff completely arrogant believing they are doing alright because regardless how they treat you, they will always have guests staying in their hotel for the fake prestigious title. I have stayed in many hotels, this is by far, the biggest disappointment for the status it holds. Rude. Rude. Rude. Rude. Rude services. I do not recommend staying here, Hotel Cardoso have a happier staff for the same price and the one time I was there, they even surprised us with some exquisite snacks for free.
