For a short-term consultancy, I had to stay in Maputo for six day in which I decided to stay at Pestana Rovuma. It was an excellent choice. It was certainly more affordable than some of its competition and still manages to provides comparable services. As a young women and considering this was my first time in Africa, I felt very...

Stayed hear for a week, running a training seminar - Checking in was chaotic but there were about 8 people all at the same time. All the public areas bright and cheerful. Rooms good, A/C OK not brilliant. Reasonable range of TV Channels - IF you are into football - 2nd heaven. Breakfast and lunch Buffets more than adequate but... More

This is a very nice hotel in the middle of Maputo. Certainly better than what we anticipated. The staff are friendly and courteous. The rooms and hotel are very clean. The bar service is good and we were looked after well in the dining room. Food quality is good. Just one bit of advise, get your waiter to confirm what... More

I had a great experience mainly because this hotel is in the centre of town, close to everything. The staff are really friendly, they restored my faith in Customer Service in Mozambique. Breakfast is excellent, but the dinner menu is very restrictive, too few options to choose from. I stayed there for a week and went through the whole dinner... More

Everyone in the hotel tries to do its best to please the guests, but in reality nothing seems to work as it could. After adapting to the Maputo reality I can say that I enjoyed the 3 nights I spent in the hotel. The pool is ok, wifi everywhere (works so and si). I did not like breakfast. I enjoyed... More

We are coming to the end of a whirlwind business trip. Stayed at small hotels in small isolated towns with much more quality service. We arrived late at night to a room that had broken furniture. Front desk could not exchange money for lack of enough which I attributed to being the end of a day, went back the next... More

OK hotel in central part of Maputo. Needs some facelift but serves the purpose and the price is acceptable. Elevators are slow and this would be the first in the need of upgrade. OK standard breakfast and cannot understand why this could be one of the best breakfast experiences in Maputo as one of the reviewers posted. Very inconvenient location... More

Gloomy public areas and surroundings, heavy decor, old and tired, but clean. Some of the staff just about keep it out of the poor category. The lady who cleaned my room, the waiter in the restaurant, where the food was good but slow to arrive, the bar staff, some of the reception team are good. The lady who fixed my... More

That the Pestana is past its prime is beyond dispute. Even so, this is a very atmospheric hotel that was built to a first-rate standard and has held up pretty well. It's a big, rambling place with a lot of space to lounge and relax or meet clients, conduct meetings. Probably not the choice for a couple stay, but very... More
