Excellent facilities and awesome location. Only downside is that prostitutes frequent the bar with the hotel not taking action. There was a loud night of passion in the room next to mine.

One of the best in Maputo

I Highly recommend the Suthern Sun Hotel Although the rooms need a little bit of an update, as certain things start to look a little bit old and rusty, but it’s always kept clean. People are kind, eficiente, room and bed are comfortable, and food is great 👍👌

A lovely place to stay for some nights.

Nice hotel in Maputo. Arlindo was especially very helpful. Some of the people in the restaurant could have been a bit more smiling and service minded though. The smell in our room was not so good, a bit "old, humid smell", but all in all a good stay with good food. Very nice garden and swimmingpool area.

Avoid this hotel. The hotel is not maintained and the basic functions, heating/cooling, lack of cleanliness, plumbing and response to immediate and continuous issues was poorly handled. We had to leave. We were moved from 2 rooms on the 3rd floor with overwhelming moisture and cooling failure and a disgusting mildew odor. There were casual efforts to open windows and spray something that did nothing. The moisture and mold issues were obviously li standing. We were moved to other rooms on the 1st floor and then to two alternative ones on the 1st floor, with the same issues with plaster and light fixtures literally falling off the wall due to moisture. The doorman actually tried to bring us into and occupied room and the women was shocked, and scared. The rooms are actually falling apart. The staff is clearly expecting these concerns but they truly have no ability to fix the issues. They say ownership have been notified of the extensive issues and they “seem to do nothing” . The staff is helpless to correct any of it . We had to leave. We may or may not get our money back but the place is uninhabitable and should not be rented until overhauled.

Felt horrible. Reception managers are dishonest

I had a horrible situation with the Reception Managers, especially Mr. Jorge and Mr. Vasco. When paying for the extras, Mr Vasco increased the total amount, and when I asked for the receipt, but I only received the receipt after accepting giving to Mr, Vasco a BRIBE (he said “money for refresco”) . Otherwise he would not give me any confirmation of payment. Also, the receipt was showing an amount less than what I paid, and Vasco made me understand that the difference is going to him Very uncomfortable, disappointed. I felt horrible The hotel overall is not bad, but corruption, bribery … are unacceptable. They do have very nice workers, but Mr Jorge and Mr Vasco are definitely people I cannot trust.

Sobre o Hotel é muito bonito, bem localizado, mas foi um terror ao chegar, pois não achavam minha reserva que inclusive ja estava paga, e simplesmente disseram que nao tinham quartos, tive que mostrar tudo e ate chamar o Gerente pois ja eram cerca de 19hrs e estava eu minha esposa e filho de 7 anos e não tinhamos para onde ir, tentei falar com o Suporte da Hoteis.com também para localizar e nao conseguia, após mostrar tudo e cerca de 1 h de conversa, me arrumarram um quarto inferior ao que tinha pago e resevado com 2 camas de solteiro, e ainda tive que pagar 250$ para poder dormir a 1° noite enquanto tentavam achar minha reserva, por fim aceitei para nao ficar sem local para dormir, e por volta das 22hrs consegui contato via chat no suporte da Hoteis.com e me disseram que iam resolver, fui ate a recepção e ai me pediram desculpas, disseram q foi um engano etc..., e então me deram um outro quarto que inclusive nao era o que tinha reservado, mas o dia ja estava tão estressante que aceitei, pediram para voltar no dia seguinte para estornar o valor pago, voltei, tive q explicar tudo novamente, me trataram de início com aquele desdenho típico, até que depois de uns 10 minutos acharam, me pediram desculpas, e disseram que iam fazer o estorno da compra, mas ate agora não apareceu o estorno, vamos ver ate o fechamento da fatura., E o pior e que vi isso acontecer com pelo menos mais 3 pessoas, agora onde esta o problema eu nao sei, mas passei por esse inferno, desconforto e vergonha.

Bra hotel i Maputo.

Veldig bra hotell ved havet i Maputo. Alle ansatte var veldig høflige og smilende og imøtekommende. Frokosten var vedlig bra med alt du kan ønske deg. Bassenget var dint og rent. Rommene pent innredet om enn litt slitt. Men ikke så slitt at det påvirket oppholdet. Klimaanlegget fungerte bra. Vi testet også kveldsbuffeten og lunsjbuffeten ved flere anledninger og maten var bra og god. Alt smakte godt. Fikk veldig god hjelp av Concierge Rose til å booke turer og utflukter.
