Hotels Near Casino Polana in Maputo

I have lived in the AFECC Gloria Hotel in Maputo for nearly a month, and I would like to share my experience. The Chinese name of this hotel is also called Anhui Foreign Economic Kailai Hotel. It is a hotel with a huge scope, including the main building of the hotel. There is Gloria Mall next to the main door without leaving the door, a Chinese supermarket on the first floor, and a cinema on the third floor. The highlight of the hotel is that all rooms face the beach. There is a road outside the hotel gate that leads to the beach, and all rooms have sea views. - There is a red wine and cigar bar on the first floor, which can entertain VIP customers, and the wine is expensive. The G floor is a western restaurant, a lobby cafe, and breakfast is served on the G floor. First of all, I want to say that the location of the hotel is very convenient. It is located in the city center, with many shopping and dining places nearby, which is very suitable for travelers. In addition, the hotel also provides free pick-up and drop-off services, which is very convenient for travelers who do not rent a car. The first floor is a Chinese restaurant with rich dishes. There is a barrier to choice every time you order. People with a small appetite are advised to order the daily special set meal. Every dish ordered is huge. Basically, you can't eat anything with two dishes. The fried rice and noodles are also the size of a soup bowl, which can be shared by two to three people. The second floor is a gym, swimming pool and spa. The spa hardware is very high, but because there are few masters, I have only seen 2 people. It is recommended to make an appointment in advance. Secondly, the hotel room is very clean and comfortable. The bed is very soft and makes people feel very relaxed. The bathroom is also very clean, equipped with a bathtub, dry and wet separation. The toiletries are relatively complete, with a comb and toothbrush, but no cotton swabs, and a sewing kit. The decoration belongs to the traditional domestic hotel decoration, Chinese style, the bed is huge, 2 meters, and 3 pillows are placed side by side. The pillows are high. The decoration is early and warm, without odor, but because it is by the sea, there will be some flying insects. It will be much better if the gauze curtains are drawn. There will be no harassment when the hotel central air conditioning is turned on. The hotel room is equipped with a balcony as standard. The balcony is 3-4 square meters, which is large. You can overlook Maputo Bay and watch the high and low tides every day. The sea breeze and the sound of the tide make it easy to fall asleep. Finally, I was impressed by the service of the hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They always keep smiling and try their best to meet the needs of guests. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience of staying here. I heard from the locals that this hotel is located in the whole of Maputo and its facilities are very suitable for Chinese tourists. The only downside is that if you book late, the price will exceed a thousand yuan per day. It is highly recommended to travelers who are looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

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.

I think it is the best place to stay in Maputo) the hotel is beautiful, right on the beach-and the only one in Maputo that has an access to the beach and the ocean) an infinity pool, beautiful views, comfortable rooms -especially with the sea view) the breakfast has a variety of dishes that will suite anyone) the team is welcoming-especially Natercia and Heleno and Vasco from the Reception team) and Pedro, the waiter in the bar) and Mercio who met me in the begining-when i arrived at the ”wrong” entrance an got confused a bit)))) even before i got there i had a couple of requests for the team, when i e-mailed them, and all of them were quickly handled) i really lived the place and people) would definitely love to come back)

Excellent hotel in terms of location and charm of 100 years ago. Breakfast is very good. Some of the hotel staff have forgotten about good customer service... Compared to 10 years ago, the service level has decreased and justifies a review by the hotel management.

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.

The hotel was tidy, and I like the location and view. The cathedral next to it is very beautiful. And the location is not too far from the airport, so it is suitable.

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.

A lovely hotel with great facilities.. We stayed there for 7 nights and all the nights were a pleasure.. Walking distance to a shopping mall and lots of great food places.. They even prepped our room for a surprise birthday at no extra cost.. The hotel is well managed and if you really want a good deal or any extra help Kripa is the go to man.. He will assist you with anything and everything..

Stayed two nights. Centrally located with good soundproofing. The surrounding area is not the best - wouldn't walk around after dark. The hotel looked nearly empty. The room was small but functional. Air conditioning worked well. Amenities included laptop- size safe and electric kettle, although no coffee or tea provided. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Well lit desk area with power outlets . Mismatched chair barely fitting under the desk without enough space for one's legs. Bathroom with separate cabins for shower and toilet. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. No hair dryer. Average wifi, but the password provided is valid for one device only. I asked for a second one and the man at the front desk told me that ”it would take some time” and he would call me. He never did, so I ended up tethering my laptop to my phone for two days. Breakfast buffet with good selection. Friendly staff with varying levels of helpfulness: a woman arranged for my early morning taxi and breakfast box, while a man, when asked where I could find some shops, told me to check Google Maps. Overall good for a short stay.
