About this place Hospedaria XEQUE MATE

Hospedaria Xeque Mate is listed as a small guesthouse (hospedaria) on Rua Carlos Guimarães in Luanda, Angola. It is listed here as gay-friendly, which means a mainstream place, not an LGBTQ+ venue, and there is no published LGBTQ+ policy. With 17 Google reviews (average 4.6) and no website, details on rooms and prices are thin, so contact them by phone before relying on a booking. Same-sex relations have been legal in Angola since the 2021 penal code, but social attitudes are conservative, so discretion in public is the norm.
