We had an excellent stay here. The rooms are well- appointed and the service excellent. The hotel went out of their way to accommodate our 05:00 departure with full breakfast available at that early hour! Thank you to Anneke Pienaar and staff

Wonderful stay!! I stayed 2 weeks, in Maputo for business. The rooms were clean and spacious. Housekeeping was friendly and left the rooms so nice each day.
Service in the hotel restaurant was phenomenal!! Amos and his team treated us so kindly and worked very hard to make each meal enjoyable. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Lunch and dinner options were filling and good quality. Again, the service was really lovely.
The front desk was so helpful in arranging transportation and accomdating our needs. I will stay here again when visiting Maputo!

The hotel is well appointed, clean and the rooms are comfortable. It has everything needed to make a business (and probably leisure) stay comfortable. The price is also very competitive given other establishments in the area.

Hotel with everything brand new. Super friendly service at reception.
Room with new bed linen and towels.
Negative points are the shower with low pressure (but nothing that interferes too much with showering) and the hotel restaurant that closes a little early.
It's a little far from the center too, but it's in a safe area.
It's worth it as it's a new hotel.

Terrible place to be!
- Kitchen closed and no food after 6 o’clock in the evening.
- Unfriendly, unhelpful personal.
- Employees are sleeping in the restaurant while you have breakfast.
I even needed to ask random strangers on the street to change money for the vending machine. Which was not working either…..

Response from CLHG Marketing, Marketing at City Lodge Hotel Maputo
Responded 01 Sept 2021
Thank you for choosing to stay with us and taking the time to review your experience. Firstly, we are very sorry that you felt frustrated and disappointed during your stay; management has looked into the issues you raise. Our kitchen had to close early due to Covid-19 restrictions in place by the government, which is unfortunately beyond our control. Our staff work hard to deliver friendly, efficient service and we are saddened that you felt this was not the case. Our vending machine has been giving a change error recently and we are having it looked at. We apologise for your stay getting off to a difficult start, but are grateful that you continued with your stay with us. Kind regards, The CLHG Team

The rooms were super comfortable. The food was great and the staff was efficient and so kind (Kudos to Amos, António, SIlvino and Olinda). Our housekeeper too (Rosa and Anabela).
The view from my room was beautiful too and the pool area was a nice hangout spot.
Also it was relatively close to walk to Baía Mall that has dining options and a grocery store.

This is the blandest hotel I have ever stayed in. Could be anywhere in the world, or nowhere.
Location is just a little too far out. Plenty of hotels in town - two o tried to book in same price range were full. This place is empty.
At breakfast and dinner there is just one waiter. So if a problem emerges that he has to deal with - as happened just now - you may be the only person in the restaurant but you will have to wait an age for him.to sort put some other customers bill from earlier in the day.
Seems to be a choice by the hotel to keep staff at a minimum- there is a vending machine for snacks.
Saving on printing too. The room has no information about the hotel. That is found in the cloud, accessed through a QR code. The cloud gives me a link to hit if I want to contact reception. That opens WhatsApp, which didn't work.So I go downstairs to inquire about laundry....
The problem here seems to be a South African chain looking to shred all costs and extract as much as possible.
The few staff employed here are excellent - efficient, friendly, and helpful. If you want more of that, check the Mozambican guest houses in town
