Nice stay
Pros:

We had a pleasant stay at Art house. The location is good, and you can have a room with sea view. Everyone is very kind, all staff was very helpful, so there is a good atmosphere. The best with this hotel is the good price- quality ratio. Honestly, the price was very decent. Rooms were clean. I think this is an hotel for people that are looking for a place to sleep only, as you don’t have that much amenities, but they also serve lunch and dinner at a pretty affordable price (16€ per person).

Great time at the art house
Pros:

This was indeed an art house, full of so many creative arts. The staff were nice and helpful, didn’t have the right charger for my phone for about 3 days, they lent me their charger till they were able to help get a suitable charger. I had a very beautiful of the sea. Nice environment and clean too . Didn’t get to eat their food because I was out very early and back late at night, sure it would have been nice too. Was quite a distance to my conference venue in Talatona but glad I trusted my guts and booked Art House. Keep up the good works.

Great place
Pros:

It is a great place at the outer beach of the Luanda peninsula. The staff is very fondly and helpful. The rooms are clean and provide enough space to make the stay comfortable. Breakfast is simple but any style eggs can be ordered and excellent coffee is provided 24h. The diverse African are on display makes the stay here a real treat.

Beautiful decoration
Pros:

I enjoyed staying at Art House for 2 nights.
All reception staff speaks good English.
I came late and the kitchen made me a toast.
In the daytime you can walk along the beach and there are several nice places to get a coffee or lunch etc. I visited Miami Beach right on the beach and it was very nice.
The hotel staff also helped me every time I needed an Yango (a local Uber).
I can highly recommend this place.

A Home from home
Pros:

Absolutely loved the Art House. It did make me feel like home. The team was extremely friendly and attentive, looking after me 24/7. I will definitely come back here. The best hotel in Luanda to watch a magic sunsets and have a cold beer. Look no further

Excellent location, attentive staff
Pros:

I stays for a couple days end of September/October in one of the sea view rooms. That definitely lived up to the name.

The location is perfect with the city’s best restaurant and a bunch of beach clubs nearby. The staff are super friendly and were able to accommodate all sorts of extra requests 24/7.

The rooftop is also especially nice with views of both the sea and port/city skyline. The bar was unfortunately closed for maintenance while I was there but it was still a clean and enjoyable space.

Breakfast could be improved - quite sparse even by Luanda standards. I didn’t try lunch or dinner but there were usually 2 different options each day to preorder a few hours in advance on WhatsApp.

Overall, would definitely recommend for leisure stays.

Comfy and safe for solo traveler
Pros:

The place is a bit far from down town but not hard to find out some places to eat or hang out. The good points are very friendly and helpful staffs , good breakfast , very comfy bed and clean room. My room faced to the sea it's nice but will be nicer if can move out 2 big trashes that opposite the hotel.
