Pestana Rovuma

Hotel is dated, very 70/80's in appearance and needs a renovation. Staff are ok, won't put themselves out to assist but not rude. Room were cleaned to a high standard. Breakfast was typical of that found in Mozambique hotels, functional food, not particularly well presented but 'ok'. Easy access to taxis and within walking distance of port area and Maputo shopping centre.

Comfortable and spacious rooms with an excellent view over the city. With two brand new lifts, there was no problem getting to and from my room at the ninth floor. The omelett made to order at breakfast was one of the best I have tasted ever! Will definatly stay here NeXT time I travel to Maputo.

We stayed 2 nights here, enroute home, thus just wanted a place close to the airport and central. This hotel is nice, but super dated. The room was comfortable, but like I said, very dated and cold feeling. The food is overpriced in the 2 restaurants, but there are no nice places to eat anywhere near by. The bar has a nice view of the sunset, and the church. The only redeeming quality, worth the price, was the continental breakfast....it was huge, and delicious! The pool wasn't bad either....but they failed to give us towels. The pictures make it look better than it is, but it wasn't totally all bad. Too costly for what you get, but that's Maputo.

It was my second stay at this hotel and I keep coming back because it is so central and provides me with all the facilities I need for my short business stays. It is clean if perhaps on the more basic side but at the Expedia price I booked it I thought it was value for money (taking into consideration that hotels in Africa are generally overpriced). This time I organised my trip through Nairobi, not knowing that Nairobi airport would be put under a stress test due to the recent fire. In fact, due to the fire my outgoing flight from Nairobi to Maputo was cancelled and I was offered a replacement seat on a flight 2 days later. The cancellation was notified after the deadline to cancel the hotel in Maputo without incurring penalties had passed but the hotel management agreed nevertheless not to charge the penalty and reimburse me for the rest of the time I didn't use the hotel room! I was actually very pleased about that. Thanks Expedia!

Stayed overnight before our flight back to the states. Nice hotel but really nasty front desk service. The front desk wanted to charge my husband to call a taxi! The dinner was good and the staff in the restaurant were very nice. Just wish had more welcoming front desk people to make our experience good. Try the Gloria hotel instead - huge rooms, great staff, and delicious food!
