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.

This hotel appeared to be one of the better accomodations in the area of Maputo. The hotel and rooms were very well kept. The staff were some of the nicest people I have ever met! They really went out of their way to be helpful and even memorized guests by name and room number! The food was also delicious and... More
