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.

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.

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.

Atendimento sempre cordial e amistoso

O hotel está muito bem conservado e os funcionários foram swempre muito atenciosos e cordiais. O café da manhã é bom e completo. Sua localização também é muito boa. Apenas que quando eu reservei no hoteis.com recebi a informação de que o meu quarto teria 40 metros quadrados e na verdade não tinha nem metade disso de tamanho, mas apesar desse detalhe a estadia foi muito boa.

Very service minded staff

Litt spesiell innsjekk som var relativ upersonlig og overraskende kort, men alt i alt på en positiv måte. De ansatte er er utrolig vennlige og gir fantastisk service. Det ble rettet forespørsel om glutenfri alternativ i restauranten på forhånd. Det er ikke alltid lett å bevege seg rundt i Afrika og overholde dette, men her hadde de kjøpt inn dette på forhånd slik at det var mulig å spise med riktig god samvittighet. Dette er sjelden vare i denne delen av verden og var et stort pluss.

The place to stay in Maputo

Staff is friendly, and there is someone available that can speak English. Restaurant is excellent and is open till 8 pm, with the local COVID restrictions, this is a valuable option to eat. There are other restaurants in the area to add verity. Laundry service is fast, and the staff do great work maintaining the rooms.
