Worst experience ever
Well the breakfast was so bad there’s no buffet you get only one egg like you are a child, the rooms are so dusty when you have blocked nose it’s going to be worse and lastly the WiFi is so bad before going out to meetings you can’t even check your emails NB : please the owner of that place must up his game that place has potential but it’s like it’s not being taken care of

Unique and Clean
Pleasantly surprised by this Arabias Boutique Hotel. The staff was super friendly and their public areas were beautifully decorated! It was very unique and cozy. The rooms were clean, but we just had a broken and clogged shower. There for only one night so we didn't bother to ask for a fix. Best tip for this hotel: DO your laundry here! Super cheap. We had a small basket of clothes washed and freshly scented for 700mts.

The Hotel does not provide water in the rooms; some rooms like the I used was very dusty; water is very important and needs to be availed in every room every day.

It was as good as can be. Breakfast menu needs some variety. Air conditioner was delightful and the pool. Extra detail can be incorporated to bathroom hygiene (more than one toilet roll, cleaning agents, towels etc.)

There are better places for the money in Maputo
to be honest, my stay was disappointing. the breakfast was not good when i was able to eat, the room was ok but the cleaning staff started early (at least for those of us suffering from jet lag) and was very noisy. the location is good and the rooms acceptable. the shower had poor water pressure

The bad site of Maputo Villa Arabias
The experience was very bad and we received no assist from yourselves and the hotel when we tried to cancel the accomodation. The rooms were not good and with lots of defects. One of our friend had a shower head failing on her head and I fell with the bath tub.We could not find enough breakfast for all of us and had to pay the rooms in full for earlier checkout and pay penalties. I'm very disappointed. Our overall experience was bad and unpleasant.

Unique aesthetic in downtown Maputo
I love the unique decor of Villa das Arabias. The hotel has done a terrific job using great fabrics to highlight the great architectural elements and make a very small space feel luxurious. Air conditioning worked extremely well. The pool is a great amenity on hot Maputo days, and having a drink poolside was a special treat. Breakfast was good and service was fine. There were a few funky things like the shower/tub, which (a) wasn't firmly attached to the floor and (b) had a layout that made it impossible not to get the whole bathroom very wet.

Reasonable Stay but Nothing Special
A decent place for a stop in Maputo, but the hotel is not as nice as the pictures and I wouldn't describe it as a boutique hotel. It feels dated and the decor is on the tacky side. The pool was not very inviting. Breakfast was not great, but fairly decent and included a lot of fresh fruit. The room was a good size and we had no major complaints overall.

Boa relação custo-benefício.
O hotel tem uma boa relação custo-benefício. Está bem localizado, em área próxima a restaurantes, embaixadas e segura para o visitante estrangeiro. Suas instalações são relativamente simples, mas confortáveis e com bom padrão de limpeza.
