If your business is in Talatona or if you travel with family this is the best hotel to stay at. You will have to endure the killer traffic if you have to go downtown though. New installation, excellent service and facilities, good restaurant and an ambience that will allow you to relax if you have time for that.

I have stayed here about four times so far and would generally agree with the other reviews. The rooms are nice, but the service and rooms are severally lacking. The check-in and check-out process is always a painful one. Frequent problems with the room rate, credit card machine doesn't work. Key cards to the rooms frequently don't work causing you... More

As other travellers have noted, service at this property ranges from attentive to indifferent. Three house keeping staff stopped by my room to make sure I was satisfied and comfortable. I am. The room is quiet, clean, comfortable, and much better value than some of the even more pricy has-been hotels downtown. At dinner tonight, I was turned away by... More

The Talatona is meant to be the best hotel in Luanda. It is grand and glitzy (with a price to match) but it falls down on service and food. The main restaurant is average and room service incredibly slow. The best place for a snack and a good coffee is in the lobby lounge.

Generally in Angola all hotels are just bad but priced to compete with 5 star New York hotels. Service was slow, real slow. It actually hurts to watch people move that slow. The Resturant down stairs is ok, the food is buffet, thank the stars as on one night I ordered room service it was , yes you guessed it... More

I travel frequently to Luanda and stay in Talatona Convention Hotel. As some already mentioned before, hotel, building, rooms and food are excellent. Some of the reviews at tripadvisor complain about the service. After my first stays at Talatona I was also a bit disappointed of the service. There was not always someone at the front-desk who could speak proper... More

Firstly in looking though other reviews something I've taken to doing now, I want to say off the bat "this is Africa" things may be a bit slower here... perhaps,.... but then I want to say that the hotel proprietors must read this the comments because almost everything criticized has been corrected, there is for example turn down service, I...
