The choice of this hotel was determined by the workshop I was facilitating. I would have never stayed here of my own free will. If you require water in your bathroom, don't stay here. If you want an elevator that goes up and down at regular intervals, don't stay here. If you want free wifi that actually works, don't stay... More

I stayed here once and will not return. Management unconcerned and unhelpful. No water in the bathroom at random times, internet only worked in one corner of the room, restaurant serving oooold fish, front desk not accepting a business delivery (an envelope) while I as was away during the afternoon. Maputo has many better options for this price.

Non functioning Wifi for 3 days despite constant requests for assistance. Other people's hair prominent in bathroom and bedroom which kept appearing from out of way corners. A raging storm outside became a raging storm in my room with banging windows due to poor build quality, which led to no sleep on one night. The managing staff were remarkably unconcerned... More

Stayed at the hotel only as it was recommended due to it's central location. This is true, but be careful as the hotel is in a rather seedy part of town. Confirmed by the fact that I was robbed by a gang wheelding shotguns outside of the entrance of the hotel at 20:00 in the evening after being dropped off... More

Great rooms, good location, very good sea views. Good breakfast buffet, but did not try the restaurant in the evening. It did seem a bit pricey but as the customer was paying this was not an issue.

Good things first: The rooms are quite nice. The view is incredible. Cleanig personal and bagage boys quite friendly. But as soon as it comes to the rest of the service it gets bad, really bad, really, really, really bad! Some examples, with no further comment: Checkin: Lady insisted on prepayment in local currency at unknown rate, at the first... More

I stayed here while passing through Maputo as a backpacker. I could not find anywhere else to stay on New Year's Day and was getting desperate. My friend and I went inside just to check the price and because they had rooms available, we decided to splurge. The very friendly desk agent decided to upgrade us to the Presidential Suite... More

My second one-week stay at the Bahia wasn't as pleasant as the first. Despite three seperate calls our reservation still wasn't secured when we arrived. The lobby is sadly in need of fresh paint and a part of the ceiling appeared to be falling in. Front desk staff were unsmiling and rude (one individual still owes me the rest of... More

Very friendly staff...hi-speed internet in rooms. Room was clean except that for the first day, the room I was given was not properly cleaned. Hotel staff responded well and quickly changed my room. The view from the hotel was awesome. We woke up to see the ocean...simply beautiful. Nice distance to the Ministry of Health.... Highly recommended.
