Hotels near Igreja de Jesus - Cidade Alta, Luanda

I've booked on 15th of May Ritz Capital Luanda Angola for 3 nights from 25-28 May on **********, paid 187 euro, the hotel confirmed the booking. On the 25th of May we arrived at the hotel and they refused to give us a room because they allegedly terminated contract with ********** on the 19th of May. We've argued for 4-5 hours, The Ritz Capital hotel managment even admitted that they could see that we paid already but they wouldn't give us a room to stay. We used random guests to translate, called the police etc., it didn't help, no room. Attached find the letter of Ritz Capital where they instruct their recepcionist not to give room to those who paid for ********** or other platforms. We had to go and find an other hotel middle of the night with all our luggages, of course it was more expensive, and we can consider ourseves lucky to had one for the 3 nights we paid already ...

I’ve stayed at the Tropico several times on business trips, typically my stay is between 2-3 weeks so it’s important to choose the right place. Not only is the Tropico conveniently located in the heart of the city but it’s got a chilled vibe. Rooms are spacious and cleaned daily to a high standard, staff are great, friendly and approachable. Breakfast is really good, bar snacks are good, the only criticism is that the menu is very limited, especially if you’re staying for a long period. Definitely worth a stay.

Returned a second time. Was even better, personable, efficient, and a simply a pleasure. Management & staff was very attentive, kind and accommodating. A family atmosphere while remaining business-like and service for the business person. Prices are excellent and you actually receive allot more value for your money as compared to other hotels in Luanda which are over priced. Loved the breakfast too! Nothing negative to say about this hotel, only very positive!

Another business trip to Angola. Was not the right time to be in Angola or for that matter anywhere in Africa due to the new variant of the virus but the trip was very essential and had to travel with all the precautions. I chose to stay at Hotel President although there were other choices. Since i was staying for the first time in this hotel i did not know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is old, but all the rooms are renovated, and the bathrooms decked in white marble tiles that give the bathrooms a bright airy look. The hotel itself is located close to Luanda Port and most of the rooms give a sweeping view of the Luanda waterfront called as” Marginal”. Look at the pictures taken from my room. I was fortunate to get a corner room that gave a 180-degree view of the Luanda bay. The room was small, but the size of the room was more than compensated by the large bay windows that made the room look bright and airy. Especially good if one is quarantined in the room for 2 weeks and not allowed to leave the room. I was fortunate to not be in quarantine. The bathroom was nicely renovated with wall to floor white marble tiles with large windows. A welcome respite from the dark dingy bathrooms in some of the hotels that i had stayed. Unfortunately, there was no hot water kettle or coffee making services provided in room and neither was there any iron/ironing board. I have stayed in hotels that did not have ironing board/iron provided but water kettle and coffee was always provided. I have therefore deducted one star. The Eight Floor houses the restaurants and the bar. Restaurants are closed for dinner due to COVID restrictions but open for breakfast. Breakfast spread is good but will be better if they can add more varieties like sliced breads and milk and cereals. Service staff are courteous and speak good English. Room TV has international TV channels available and if you are bored with a little bit of ingenuity can hook up your laptop to watch Netflix. Overall a pleasant stay at a slightly pricey hotel.

The ***ager is super nice, humorous and can speak English very well. It is very cost effective and you know the hotel/everything in Luanda is expensive. Enjoy it!
