Girassol Lichinga Hotel

Lichinga

Totally overpriced hotel. Staff don’t care and couldn’t find our booking then didn’t understand it... 
rooms large but very dark. No running water in showers since arrived. There are other better value places in town that actually have running water, don’t be fooled.

Terrible for the price, no running water

Not bad infrastructure... poor lighting in the room and corridors... but over priced but again not many choices in Lichinga.. restaurant is ok. Food is reasonably good... staff needs more training and quick response

Review

Terrible hotel. No hot water. Weak lighting. Awful attention.
Unfortunately no many options at this city but being a chain hotel and also quite expensive the experience is just painful.
Will try not to repeat.

Very expensive for such a service

The only positive I have to say about this hotel is that the rooms are really spacious and clean. And given the options in Lichinga it may be the only one. However from that highlight it just downhill:

- Receptionist struggles with the most basic functions of checking in people (giving wrong room keys), and when confronted simply laughs at you like its a joke!
- Food is terrible
- The bar doesn’t have stock
- The pool is polluted
- People use the yard to dry clothes
- It’s 9 degrees celsius at night and rooms don’t have heaters
- The corridors are dark and spooky
- The tv has 3 public open channels of which you can either not hear, or see 2 of them.

It’s actually so bad that much like the receptionist you can only laugh so that you don’t go mad! 

I cannot imagine what it would be staying here if I did not speak Portuguese.


Terrible, Terrible Service

We arrived late in Lichinga and would leave the next day to fly to Nampula. Since we travelled a long day with public transport (backpackers) we decided to treat ourselves with a hotel instead of a hostel/B&B. However of was not really a treat..
The receptionist was very unfriendly and did not provide the standard information: like when breakfast is served. The rooms are very big and bed was nice, good pillows. The bathroom was clean, yet not as clean as you would expect in a hotel.
Expensive rooms for the quality you get. Breakfast was cold and not tasty. We have stayed in many B&B or hostels that were a lot nicer in Mozambique.

Highly overpriced, unfriendly staff

I’ve been in this Hotel for the first time and a must say for a Montebello- Turvisa this Hotel is very poor, at all levels. For a group who owns one of the best internet in the country, the wi fi service only works in the lobby, the room is very massive, the shower doesn’t have have hot water all the time. For a hotel that’s part of Group Visabeira Moçambique this is unacceptable. Not a good experience
