Everything is average about this hotel. This is a 2 star hotel charging 5-star rates. I was booked to a smoking room, I could not handle it by 2 a.m, however, unfortunately there was no alternative. The smoking room at this hotel is pungent heavy smell of cheap cigarette smoke literally everywhere from the bedding to the bathroom!!.. this hotel... More

The good stuff first - friendly staff, convenient location, very nice gardens and pool area, clean well serviced rooms, plumbing works fine, efficient laundry. The rest - staying here for ten nights and hotel chosen by client. I stay 75-100 nights per year in 4-5 star hotels. This isn't one, despite 5 star branding. Internet service is a total disaster...

I am shocked at the poor reviews! I have the pleasure of staying regularly at the VIP. I do not know the managers or owners so am completely impartial. The location is perfect, staff are professional and helpful, the decor at first is comforting and yes the rooms and passages need renovation but I'm told that's underway. Once done, VIP... More

The pros : decent facilities, nice lounge area around the pool, racing track close to the hotel , not far from the seafront The cons : reception staff totally overwhelmed by their duties, clear lack of proper management, maintenance issues in rooms (many door locks not working and can be opened by staff only), one of two elevators out of...

After few days in south africa in similar price hotels (around 200usd/night), VIP Grand don't worth it. Not many other options in town can be the reason of that. The reception seemed to not understand really well how to manage different requests, could be under trainning but took them almost 3 hours to get the room ready (and after that... More

The VIP is my normal haunt when visiting Maputo. I do have to say the only reason I really stay at the hotel is because of the running track opposite. On the other side of the road to the hotel they have a small park which has a really good running track. You can do 3 or 4 laps in... More

This is one of a few group of goods hotels in Maputo. The service is good, the staff is friendly, the breakfast well served and the location is good . You can get a taxi easily and not distance from the major places and restaurants.

It does not even come close to claim its status as a 5-star hotel. The service is not up par with most of 5-star hotels and rooms are too simple. However, if you are planning on holding an event, this is a great place to do it!

The hotel is said to be the best available in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. The hotel entrance, ok, room for our event, ok. But the room I spent a night was awful. I saw tiny cockroaches going around the floor, the desk, the worst, the bed sheet. I ended up sleep with my whole dress and trousers covered, not... More
