We spent a week at the Cardoso recently and found the staff helpful and friendly, the room clean and well appointed, the internet good (and free), and the breakfast plentiful and tasty. (A fuller menu for room service would be nice though). We walked west out the door and saw a bit of old Maputo -- pretty grotty and dilapidated... More

Came back to Cardoso for a few days' business trip this easter week. I have stayed at the Cardoso before and it is steadily improving. Was upgraded to a large sea view room on the top floor. Incredible view and sunset! A bit more shiny than last time, cleaner, with better toiletries (moltonbrown). What is most important is perhaps what... More

This hotel was a bonus as our train could not travel into Mozambique. The room was big, we faced the street, air conditioner worked. The bathroom was big enough and the shower was wonderful and large. The hotel overlook the sea. The breakfast was good, and the view was scenic. There is a pool.

A lovely clean and well kept hotel this, built on a cliff and overlooking the ocean. Make sure you get the rooms facing the sea and pool area. Best breakfast, kind and attentive staff.. I just loved it.

This hotel has that old colonial feel - with beautiful views of the Maputo Harbour, a lovely pool and an area to have drinks at sunset. The breakfast is nice - but the prices are not cheap...the staff is helpful and tries to make your stay as pleasant as possible. All speak English and the rooms are comfortable with internet... More

Hotel Cardoso gets a five star rating from us. Two elderly citizens, we motored from South Africa arriving to a cool haven of tranquility and helpfulness. Our spacious room with wide balcony overlooked the estuary where cargo and cruise liners sailed up the river to the harbour. This hotel is situated in spacious, well-kept gardens. The staff were attentive and... More

The Hotel Cardoso is a large, long building in a decent neighbourhood of Maputo; on one side it faces the street behind the main entrance, while on the other its gardens look out over the water. The premises boast a nice pool, some limited off-street parking, and a really lovely lounge containing lots of hardwood furniture tastefully upholstered in muted... More
