Best for
Lichinga Hotel by Montebelo suits business and conference visitors, given its meeting spaces and central location.
It suits travellers wanting a lakeside setting less well, since the hotel itself is in the town centre rather than on the lakeshore.

Trade-offs and what to know
Central and conference-ready, but the site gives no detail on room counts or exact suite configurations.
Marketed as a gateway to Niassa Lake, though the hotel building itself is in town, not on the water, so a further transfer is needed to reach the lakeshore.
