Best Hotels near Nucleo de Arte, Maputo

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.

The exterior and lobby are very nice and the location is ok. There are 2 very slow, very small, sometimes functioning elevators. The rooms need work, see photos. Chunks of bathroom tile missing, 3 out of 4 bulbs in bedside lights missing and fixtures broken, there was obviously some kind of flood from the bathroom that wrecked the plywood flooring. I'm gluten and dairy free so didn't trust any of the handful of things on the room service menu, some of our friends did and the reviews went from mediocre to inedible. There's apparentIy some sort of breakfast but after asking the staff in the cafeteria a couple of times if we could order something and being told no (at 7:50am, breakfast is advertised as being at 7:30), we went out for breakfast, which seems to be the smart move. If you just need something no frills to sleep for a night it did seem like the beds were clean but the water pressure in the shower is a luke warm trickle. Set your expectations and it's fine as a place to sleep for a night, but I wouldn't stay longer.

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.

Great. The following are the advantages and disadvantages: advantage: 1. Good location 2. The staff are professional and considerate to the guests. After I moved in, I found that the provided Wi-Fi can only connect to two devices. If there are more, they can’t connect. I called the front desk and they immediately found a way to get another account and returned it to the room. , Teach me how to use. The service staff are professional, always smiling and very enthusiastic. 3. The room facilities are good, the bed is good, and it feels relatively high-end. Disadvantages: 4. The hotel entrance and lobby are too unassuming. When I checked in, I thought it was broken and my mind was beaten. 5. You can’t take a bath in the room bath. Standing in the bath, the water is easy to spill on the ground and get a lot of water on the ground. 6. The food is not tasty Overall recommendation. I stayed two nights in a row, and it was the only hotel where I stayed together.

I would like to express my gratitude to management. What a stunning hotel: FRIENDLY, superb staff that is always there for your needs. CLEAN, rooms are very clean always done and tidy according to how you moved it on your stay. PEACEFUL, always quite really a place to relax after a hard day of work. They got a small gym, a cool pool, and def a super friendly staff. My experience was great it's the second time I am here, the manager is always there to greet you which shows a lot of respect, the reception ladies are superb, always assisting you with care. The food and beverage manager, due to covid they add a smaller portion of breakfast he asks me if I needed something to eat and guess what, next morning got what I wanted. The restaurant ladies and chef, they are just so good. I RECOMMEND this hotel, for a limited crazy covid they are very good.

My wife and I stayed 3 nights, arriving at 2PM with a rental car and parking in front. A nice English-speaking receptionist copied my passport, as I signed an entry sheet, then presented the key cards. After parking in their secure lot, we took one of the 2 elevators to the 1st floor. Wood tiled room #116 opened to a fully outfitted bathroom with a tile shower, followed by a refer, safe and coffee station, a comfortable but small double bed facing a satellite TV(Al Jezzara, BBC or CNN, 5 sports, Disney, Discovery + 10 more channels), then desk and chair. A large window opened to planted palms. While the room is small it is ideally designed with quiet AC, constant bathroom exhaust, good secure WIFI and 2 outlet stations. The serviced 6:30AM lobby breakfast was excellent; juices, fruit, yogurt, eggs, hot and cold meats, cheese, breads/jams, muffins and coffee machine choices. This new 125 room hotel connects to the Baia Mall and overlooks the sea.

The best and possibly the most expensive hotel in the area, with relatively large rooms and the seaside.

The service staff is friendly, the environment is quiet, the access is convenient, suitable for small stays. The surrounding facilities are complete, facing the sea, there is a fish market nearby, a rare experience.

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
