Good value accomodation and the owner as well as staff are very helpful and friendly (in comparison with the terrible staff at Fatima's!). Don't expect anything fancy though but it will keep you safe and dry during your visit to Maputo! Also has good laundry service!

Not sure what else people want, it's a cheap, clean, safe place to stay in Maputo. The owner was extremely helpful, if a hostel is what you're looking for then this place is great. Location is convenient for everything. They have one private room and if you want it, book in advance.

This is a good place to stay in Maputo. Good neighbourhood and fine for walking to both down town areas and the upper city around 24th July Ave. I liked: - location - security I disliked: - noise from water system (best not to stay in the downstairs rooms).
