Apart from being very poorly equiped, with a horribly slow (and most of the times does not even work) internet, the rooms are dirty and the beds uncomfortable. But what really bothered me was the treatment we received. We had our company do the transfer to pay for our expenses and while we were there, they transfered all the money... more

I stayed in the VIP for 3 months whilst working for MCEL and don't have a bad word to say about the place. I had previously stayed in the overpriced Polana, but apart from the obviously more expensive F&F, it was just a place to sleep. Staff would always do their best, and once I had made friends amonst them,... more

When I arrived they had lost my booking which had to be my fault until I showed them their confirmation. They then put me in the VIP Apartments where I stayed for two weeks with no attempt made to move me back to the hotel. The VIP Apartments were only $10 cheaper but there are no facilities the breakfast is... more

The hotel has clearly put in a lot of work to improve after some of the negative earlier reviews. I found it fine and reasonably priced. Staff were courteous, helpful and friendly. The room was fine, with a view over a pleasant park. Pool and garden lovely. It's not the most central location, but there are several good places to... more

Positive : ======= - Good location in downtown. - Good room with all 5 star equipments. - Staff is kind and do everything to compensate the hotel disorganization. Negative: ======= - People in reception don't know what is a Voucher (can you believe this?), and several time asked me the way how to pay... - The breakfast buffet are very... more

Horrible food, horrible managers, demotivated staff members who advised me not bother signing for a tip becasue satff members never get it. Horrible treatment to me as a guest. If you are planning to visit maputo, try another place, not HOTEL VIP. more

Stayed at Maputo VIP for 5 day conference in September 2008. Two small lifts which only worked very intermittently, and no main staircase, forced the use of the generally unlit fire escape stairs on most occasions. Good job the hotel is only 4 floors! Hot water in the bathroom on only 2 occasions during the stay - one early morning,... more

I was in Maputo on business and didn't want to spend too much on lodging. I was apprehensive at first because of the low price, $106 per night, compared to most other hotels in Maputo. I was not disappointed. Rooms were clean and the staff is very nice. Free wireless internet in the hotel lobby was useful. There isn't much... more

This hotel is definitely not a top choice in Maputo but it was adequate enough. I stayed there because of a conference that was taking place at the hotel conference facilities. The room was clean and had all the standard amenities like an in-room safe. Internet service was complementary with both wired and wireless but connecting was difficult and sporatic.... more
