Great hotel, very nice design mix of Mozambique African and Portugal influences. The staff are really friendly and helpful. My room was very comfortable and clean, the pool was also very nice with the great view. Next time I go to Maputo, this hotel will be my first choice. Thank you, obrigado

Stayed here twice now. I love it. The breakfast buffet is fabulous: had me overeating with too many good items to choose between. All the staff are very friendly and professional. The women at reception especially are delightful personalities. All rooms are very clean, well maintained and comfortable. I love the all-timber staircase: skip the lift and enjoy walking this old world grandeur. The pool area has a joyful and lively expat+local vibe.

Excellent facilities and excellent food. We had a meeting and workshop over the week. The conference facilities were well organised and the buffet were great. The selection of food catered to the wide range of participants. The staff were very accommodating and very helpful to all our needs. Some of us stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The sea views were amazing.

An old, well kept hotel in the heart of Maputo, Hotel Cardoso does not disappoint. The rooms are spacious and the balcony rooms have a stunning view of the ocean and the port. The reception staff are friendly, the breakfast is delicious and everything you need and the housekeeping staff are courteous and get the job done. You will love your stay here!

Hotel Cardoso is an excellent place to stay. The staff are amiable and professional. My room was large, well-maintained, and a pleasure to stay in. The food was great as well. It is also located near many shopping areas and other hotels. Many thanks to the hotel staff for accommodating me and my organisation so well. The thank you gift and farewell cocktail were all a welcome surprise.

Management is doing its job here. Everything went smooth. Gorgeous big room. Perfect service at the reception. Very good breakfast. Perfect location. Nice garden with big pool (that we did not try). Best hotel we had in Mozambique. Too bad Maputo is not worth a city trip....
