Catembe Gallery Hotel

Lovely hotel but some renovations necessary. Nice hotel, great staff, good service, great location and delicious food! We really loved it all. But…renovations/repairs are urgently needed. Large damp spots in the room due to problems in the bathroom. The toilet leaks water every time you flush. Same when using the sink. The sockets also need to be reviewed. There could be a few more and maybe a USB port too.

The Katebe Gallery was an amazing place to stay. Right on the beach with a beautiful view of Maputo. The staff are top tier and very friendly and helpful. Only downside (if you could call it that) is that the area is very quiet with not much going on in the evening- and everything requires a taxi across the bridge

Horrible stinking wet carpert Leaking showers Poor maintenance It's no longer how it used to be. Nice food but very slow kitchen. Blocked shower tray. Overall it was a terrible night on 14 june, we intended to stay for 3 night's but we left after one night

Apart from the lovely view that the hotel offers, everything else was pretty average.. The staff were more interested in each other's company than helping out their guests.. Breakfast staff Ignore you when u ask for butter, and tell you to make your own toast, once they have already brought you the hot breakfast which consists of 2 eggs, a cold piece of ham, a mini heavily processed vienna and a tomatoe.. The pool guy threw heaps of chlorine and chemicals into the pool at 9.45am when I ask him to hold on for a bit so that I can have a quick swim before my 10am departure. He refused and said it's his cleaning time and we must wait till later, mmmm they need to learn a lot about service in this place. The receptionist was probably the best of them all, although we had to sit around waiting for the computers to come online when trying to check in.. Our room was small and the basin was cracked right through. The changeroom toilet seat was also chipped, which prevented me from sitting on it. My patio door could not lock due to misalignment and forced a chair against it to try secure it for the night. The on site parking advertised which we reserved when booking, was actually on street parking, although I did see a guard on duty. I tried to use the free paddle skis, but because I only had a credit card and not enough physical cash on me for a breakage deposit my daughter and I were unable to go paddling. If you're interested in using the kayaks be sure to bring R1000 cash per person... Ps. The beach area was awesome...
