Top Praça da Independência Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence, Maputo

10/10 Excellent

"My go to in Maputo. Friendly staff, great breakfast and beautiful view of the sea. Even if you don’t have a sea view, you can step outside and walk on the corniche. 2/3 good restaurants with sea view within walking distance"

Polana Serena Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The lunch was not the standard that we expected. Breakfast was very good"

Southern Sun Maputo

10/10 Excellent

"What I like: (1) We had an ocean view. (2) The staff was friendly and helpful. What I didn't like: (1) Airport shuttle price was high for such a short trip, (2) Buffet meal price was high for the quality of food. (3) Beach area could be cleaner. What can be improved: The meals - (1) Overcooked meats. (2) Undercooked eggs. (3) Stale breads. (4) Unwarranted high price."

Hotel Terminus

8/10 Good

"Good place to stay and good location"

Hotel Cardoso

8/10 Good

"Really great location - close to multiple restaurants and my work. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were exceptionally good (Isabel (I think) and Cecilia at reception were wonderfully helpful and hospitable)."

WL Hotel Maputo Executive

10/10 Excellent

"I experienced excellent and friendly services by all hotel staff. This hotel provides best value for money in Maputo."

ONOMO Hotel Maputo

8/10 Good

"Great location and manager, but notable service gaps What I liked: The location of ONOMO Hotel Maputo is fantastic—it is truly near everything in the city! A few days into my stay, the ceiling in my first room started leaking. However, the hotel manager stepped in quickly and moved me into a much bigger, upgraded room with a fridge. The catering/restaurant staff and the manager were wonderfully friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. The breakfast buffet was also great and hot when I first started eating it. What could be improved: The breakfast buffet tended to get cold later in the morning. When I raised a concern about this, the frontline reception staff were unfortunately not very friendly or welcoming. Furthermore, despite booking an airport shuttle well in advance, the front desk forgot about it; I had to manually remind them to find out where my driver was. At 2,100 MZN (around £25), the shuttle felt quite expensive for a service I had to chase up myself"

Melia Maputo Sky

10/10 Excellent

"The room was so comfortable, quiet, and clean. The staff were helpful and pleasant."

HOTEL MIRAVA

8/10 Good

"I had a nice stay! The location is perfect if you want to stay right downtown to visit iconic places like the Catedral Nossa Senhora da Conceição (Sé Catedral de Maputo), Conselho Municipal, Casa de Ferro, Rádio Moçambique, etc.It is definitely not a luxury place, but it is a cozy, highly affordable, and secure spot to sleep. My room was entirely clean, the bed was nice, and they provided the basic essentials like shampoo and soap. There is also a small, convenient café and restaurant right near the reception area, and the security on-site made me feel very safe.The cleaners and all of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my time there. The property could definitely be improved if they did a revamp of the furniture and the toilets, as the interior is a bit outdated. I also felt the complimentary breakfast could be better. It is currently heavily focused on a Chinese clientele, serving items like noodles and a watery soup. I was expecting a little more local variety—like fresh fruit, cheese, ham, and a toaster to toast bread. However, because it is free, you just have to expect the basics… Overall, it was a wonderful, budget-friendly experience and I would definitely stay here again! And thanks for the early check in!"
