    • Loved the stay at Hotel Cardoso! Perfect location with beautiful views over Maputo Bay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Great breakfast selection to start the day. A lovely choice for both business and leisure travellers — would happily return!
    • Charming hotel in a great location, beautiful old building, lovely details in the lobby and in the rooms. Above all, the hotel employs incredibly competent and helpful staff, especially Cecilia and her colleague at the reception.
    • Maputo is my City, where I was born and grew up. Hotel Cardoso and the neighborhood (High School, Natural History Museum) is part of my dear childhood memories, and this stay was simply such a blessing for me. The Hotel is beautiful, the staff very kind, wonderful meals and breakfast...amazing! Thanks.

    Our room was spacious and had great views. We enjoyed the breakfast. There were several restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.

    The bathroom was last renovated a while back but was still perfectly acceptable.

    The facilities are in a great location of Maputo. Good breakfast and incredible views of the city.

    I didn't like the fact that the Hotel is a army base for EU troops. That have been stationed there for allegedly 2 years. Military personnel must be housed in an army barracks.

    Loved the pool terrace for drinks in the evening. Great atmosphere overlooking the yacht club towards the harbour. Lovely bar and restaurant.

    Careful with the sliding door. Don’t close it slightly to keep the air conditioned air inside…because it easily self locks. As a solo traveler you will be locked on the balcony…..

    Good staff

    No mini bar.no robes . I had to ask for a fridge in exutive suite. I ordered a honeymoon turn down, it was terrible. no breakfast in the room. Forbidden for some reason. Not cheap and I could have spent the money better somewhere else. Food menu was also terribly expensive and limited

    9MikatekoPosted on: 10-16-2024

    I enjoy my stay , breakfast was perfect

    The bathroom cos it was showers only n I prefer bath so I ask for exchange of the rooms they refuse, so I was not happy about that.

    8MeganPosted on: 10-7-2024

    Great location, lovely staff, the hotel also had most of what you could want from a hotel in Maputo (onsite restaurant, bar, gym) and the rooms were great, very clean and comfortable. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Maputo that doesn't break the bank like Southern Sun, but is a bit nicer than some of the other hotels, you should stay here

    Communication between staff - I was leaving early from the hotel, and the night before talked to the front desk who said they had booked a shuttle to take me to the airport, and that they could arrange a breakfast box (unexpected perk) for me to take. The next morning the person on shift didn't know anything about a shuttle or breakfast box, we managed to sort out a taxi though so it all ended well.

    Everything about the hotel was exceptional, they have amazing breakfast ?. The facilities were clean and the staff was friendly. They made sure they use English since we didn't understand Portuguese

    7Bernal S.Posted on: 8-17-2024

    The staff is very friendly. Location and views are great.

    The hotel is outdated. It needs some investment to bring it in this century

    10RobertPosted on: 8-15-2024

    Staff were fantastic, hotel well looked after and in a good position.

    10AndrePosted on: 8-5-2024

    This is a great hotel to use during a stay in Maputo as a result of the location, amenities and stable wifi. The staff are also incredibly friendly and helpful, making the stay all the more enjoyable.
