Luanda

4 of 5 stars
Birmingham, Alabama
26 Oct 2009

Recently visited Luanda on business, and was pleasantly surprised by my experience. Admittedly, traveling as a woman alone can be beset with difficulties, but I did have the advantage of having great work contacts who assisted me with local transportation and dining (we ate at Dfana restaurant and Cais de Quatro-both were great and near the bay with water views).... more

Hotel Tropico

Haifa, Israel

For me it has been fun to be here , i felt safe and i couldn't believe it that just few meters away the sad reality of Angola is ongoing. Is like a refuge place where you can enjoy a nice SPA , a fine swimming pool (i over used it ) , great restaurant and plenty options , internet... more

Washington, DC
8 Oct 2009

I was bracing myself for this business trip to Luanda, knowing that despite Angola being a rapidly growing economy, its infrastructure still needs major work, and hotel capacity is low. I was pleasantly surprised by the Hotel Tropico. While not being anything luxurious, the room was clean, had free wifi, sufficient electrical plugs to get work done, and with a... more

Snack Bar Restaurante Marginal

4 of 5 stars
Philadelphia PA USA
6 Oct 2009

FInding a restaurant that meets European or American standards in Luanda is difficult. Snack Bar offers a lunch buffet where every item is identifiable and identified. For dinners, the salads and pizzas are quite good. Pricing is also reasonable, especially given the usual costs of Luanda. Service is spotty, but again, that's not bad for Luanda. The view from the... more

Poor value

Hotel Tropico

1 Sep 2009

Even by Luanda prices, this hotel is poor value. The service is not good, food mediocre, a hotel in decline. Hopefully the new hotels opening in the next 12 months will provide better service. Not worth the money. more

I have visited Luanda several times during the last 3 years and usually book this hotel as my first option. There are not many alternatives after all, it's clean , it has a nice SPA plus gymnasium and the food is OK ! It's quite overpriced for the quality as are most of the things in this city. There is... more

Pensao Caravela

1 of 5 stars
Vientiane, Laos
1 Jul 2009

It's important to mention that Luanda is an astronomically expensive city. So accommodation tends to be horribly pricey and barely adequate. All this is true of the Pensao Caravela. A room there cost us $200 a night, including wireless internet and breakfast. The room was average at best and the bathroom was small and pokey. All this I could overlook,... more
