I stayed at the hotel for a few days and had a great experience. The staff was friendly and very helpful, the room was amazing, with a great view and plenty of space. The food and drinks were also good, and it was great to be able to enjoy them in the garden by the pool. The only downside is the pool had a maintenance problem while I was there, so I could not use it, but that was just bad luck.

The location is perfect for those who would like to be close to the city. The services are excellent. The view of the sea, the most beautiful thing I've seen. the food... great food.

From the check in to check out… Hotel staff were extremely professional and helpful. It helps so much that the receptionists are fluent in English… Also, I was able to exchange my rands to metcials at the reception too. The rooms were sparkling clean, crisp white sheets and clean carpets. Breakfast was amazing…. They don’t rush you and there’s always enough for seconds and thirds. Room service is super quick. It’s just an amazing hotel!

Hotel staff are very friendly and go out of their way to accommodate your every request. I arrived early (08.00am) and it was no problem to attend breakfast and wait for my room in the lovely gardens with pool overlooking the bay. Also the staff went out of their way when I realized at 0500 in the morning, that I probably should leave earlier than initially requested (for the airport to leave). The cook prepared a take away breakfast and the taxi was requested to arrive earlier. Kudo’s to the hotel staff!. Rooms are well equipped though a bit dated (see other reviews of pictures), but the view made up for this. Especially the sea-side rooms are quiet. The buffet lunch is relatively expensive (26 euro) but the choice of food and the taste were quite good. I would be most happy to return to hotel Cardoso, as it catered to my every need. (Great views, wonderful pool (though not heated I think) and good food selection). There’s a nice restaurant on the left as you leave the hotel (well guarded by security) at the roundabout called Campo Das Acacias. Highly recommended to try.

This hotel is a beautiful, historic property with stunning views of Maputo Bay. The grounds are very well maintained. The rooms are large and clean. The staff is very accommodating. They arranged for a very early morning transfer from the hotel to the airport which I was very grateful for. My only complaint was that it was noisy the first night of my stay from patrons at the bar across the street. Request a bay view room for complete peace and quiet. I would highly recommend this hotel when staying in Maputo.

I always love saying at the Cardoso! It has an old world feel and the most friendly and accommodating staff around. They were so unbelievably helpful when I fell ill during my most recent stay and really went out of their way to cater to my needs and make my stay more comfortable.
