This is a very simple place in a very inconvenient area, obviously overpriced - the bathroom was flooded and it stank, this is a place where I didn't feel comfortable... I am happy that the host let me leave after one night without making me pay for the other nights I was to spend there (thanks!).

too ordinary and average, could be perfect as a backpackers place does'nt really meet Guest House standards, almost perfect location but there is need to improve on service and appearance among other important issues to really compete in the Guest House World

Very simple place in a very inconvenient area. You will be astounded if you pay before arriving because it is very poor value for money. After our trip to Tofo we ended up staying at another guest house actually in the city for exactly same price.

The Quiet Corner is indeed in a quiet corner, far away from Maputo's happening areas of Baixa and Museu. It's hard to say anything bad about this place because the owner is so nice but there has to be honesty. The place is very simple and sparce, not what one would think for the cost. The other major downside is... More

It's a quiet place and with everything you need. The rooms are well airconditioned. The Staff members are very friendly and able to assist especially for some of us that don't Portuguese. In addition, staff members are very honest and you don't have to worry about leaving things behind. The Manager, Andreas, was always there to advise on some of... More

It is a really nice place with a good and friendly host. The guest house is in a quiet area close to the center. A fast Internet connection helped us doing some work during the day. In the evening Andrew the host can give some good advise where to eat (excellent choices). Close to the guest house there is the... More

A nice place, I always stay here when I'm in Maputo. It's small, only 4 rooms, so the service is more personal - Andrea and the other staff will help you out with anything you need, even drove me to the airport at 5 in the morning on a Sunday. The area (Coop) is residential and quite nice just to... More

I have previously stayed at the Quiet Corner and I will return yet again because it is of good quality and, the staff go out of their way to ensure your stay is a pleasant one. Sr Andrea is genuinely interested in his clients enjoying their stay and is full of good advice about Maputo and Mozambique.

I stayed at the Quiet Corner Guesthouse for the first time in July. I was impressed by the service, right from the time of making the bookings until checking out. The facility also offers value for money. Excellent service and staff
