Hotels near Laulane Shopping Center in Maputo

My wife and I stayed 3 nights, arriving at 2PM with a rental car and parking in front. A nice English-speaking receptionist copied my passport, as I signed an entry sheet, then presented the key cards. After parking in their secure lot, we took one of the 2 elevators to the 1st floor. Wood tiled room #116 opened to a fully outfitted bathroom with a tile shower, followed by a refer, safe and coffee station, a comfortable but small double bed facing a satellite TV(Al Jezzara, BBC or CNN, 5 sports, Disney, Discovery + 10 more channels), then desk and chair. A large window opened to planted palms. While the room is small it is ideally designed with quiet AC, constant bathroom exhaust, good secure WIFI and 2 outlet stations. The serviced 6:30AM lobby breakfast was excellent; juices, fruit, yogurt, eggs, hot and cold meats, cheese, breads/jams, muffins and coffee machine choices. This new 125 room hotel connects to the Baia Mall and overlooks the sea.

Booked in by my company on a layover in Maputo. When we checked in we were told the elevator was broken and our rooms were on the 11th floor !! Room was was very shabby. Broken window, mould in the bathroom, broken wall sockets NO toilet paper. Not worth the $83 charged for the over night stay and in fact would never stay here again. WiFi was terrible and hardly able to connect. Would not recommend this place, nothing in this place relates to VIP !!! Avoid it.

Let's be clear up front: this isn't a European five-star hotel. But what it is, is a neat and clean place to stay if you're in town for business. It's fairly close to the airport and city centre, and has a decent bar to have a couple of drinks and meet people. Dinner was an unexpected highlight: it was a fixed buffet, instead of a la carte, but the baked whole fish with boiled potatoes and vegetables was one of the best things I've eaten in a long time.

The place was nice comfortable, the guy at reception is really nice and helpful. Location if you're looking to be in the downtown hustle and bustle area is key. The only bad experience was the cleaning stuff searching through my stuff and making it obvious that someone was looking for cash coz my passport was not taken, so if management can address this with the cleaning team.

I stayed here for 15 nights as I was in the city on business. I rate the stay very positive all round. The room was comfortable and clean. It was also quiet, which is important to me as a light sleeper. The WiFi worked well. Staff were courteous, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the restaurant was always open when I went there for meals. Favourite dishes were meia frango and frango suspeito. Overall the price for the hotel stay was very reasonable. I'll certainly be returning there during my next trip to Maputo.

We have read the other reviews on this hotel and wonder which place they stayed - different hotel from us? Firstly the staff. We only speak English and had no problem whatsoever communicating with the staff -with whom we interacted on many levels. When we arrived our booking was not evident - it was booked for us less than an hour before by our insurance company. Two gentlemen sorted this out and I was shown me to our room. I was very impressed. Admittedly it did appear that we had been given a free upgrade but nonetheless it was very nice. Yes there are a lot of light switches but they are not that hard to figure out. The balcony was indeed a bonus. We had to spend a lot of time in the room as I had just come out of hospital after an unplanned operation on my ankle following an accident and we were waiting for flights home to be arranged. We stayed at the Gloria for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We thought that the choice of food for breakfast was excellent. Obviously we only sampled small parts of the menu but there was an extensive choice. Maybe we have bland taste as suggested by others but we thoroughly enjoyed the Chinese food in the restaurant. We ate one night at the Italian restaurant next to the shopping centre behind the hotel. This was also nice. I was unable to access the shower in our room properly due to my injury and asked for a plastic garden chair or similar. The lovely lady on reception arranged for a chair to be sent up. I said it was not suitable as it was too grand and would be ruined if it became wet. I was told it was a ”small sacrifice to make for a guest”. Exceptional customer service. In the end we managed to use the chair without getting it wet by using bin liners over it but the sentiment that it did not matter if I ruined the chair was greatly appreciated. We have absolutely no negative comments to make about the staff. High praise from us. Thank you.

Rooms are very well appointed. Airconditioned and very comfortable. No bath in the bathrooms but otherwise very nice. Bed was very comfortable. Hotel is laid out as a round building so navigating around the premises is rather challenging. Some floors are across different levels. Central elevator is not working. So the only access to the rooms is through the service elevator. Breakfast was a complete buffet. Food seems to be of a high quality.

The best and possibly the most expensive hotel in the area, with relatively large rooms and the seaside.
