Hotel Afrin Prestige

Maputo


This hotel is not up to the standards of others in its class in terms of service and ambience, but it's worth considering because of its baixa location near the water.

Even if you don't stay here, it's worth wandering into the lobby to look at the striking metal fisherman sculpture. There's a restaurant, and a tiny pool is set in a small, walled garden area.
