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.

Hotel Cardoso is a lovely traditional hotel.. The staff are so friendly and really went out of their way to assist me with printing, documents, ordering taxi etc. Just really wanting to help. Thank you so much for that. After my upgrade * see what I did not like - all was perfect, fantastic views over the Maputo Bay.

I booked the room via Booking.com, as I have previously stayed at the hotel. There was no accurate description of the room, which turned out to be a dark, backside room, badly maintained and not clean. I entered the room that were to be my workplace during six days, found badly maintained furnitire and door as well as a dirty bathroom, especially the toilet was not clean. I just could not see myself staying, working and conduct my duties in that environment. So I had to request and pay for an upgrade. The second matter that I have is that the restaurant menue, food and esp room service food was very limited. For 1-2 nights ok - but working there 4-6 days.... In the end, I did not know what / if to order

The Hotel is very well located and has an exceptional view. It is very quiet, no street noise whatsoever. The bed is very comfortable. The internet works perfectly. All the staff are really wonderful. I am looking forward to staying there again during my next trip to Maputo.

One thing that could be improved would be the shower in the bathroom as there is only the "rain" option. The Hotel provides a shower cap, but it would be nice to have the option to adapt it to the desired height. Still, this is just a small detail, as I will gladly return to this hotel.

Nice views from a balcony, very good breakfast. Nice swimming pool, very clean. Excellent cafe across the road.

When we arrived wanted to pay by card in US dollars and they told me I can pay only MZT by card. If I like to pay by US need to be paid by cash. On them website is written you can pay by US or MTZ by card. After some arguments at reception they excepted card payment by US currency. Make sure it you want to pay different currency you have to have in cash. As receptionist say probably is mistake on the website. I told them they have to correct mistakes like that as it is important for the guests.

The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. They helped us carry our lagguage, helped us secure parking close to entrance and made sure we were comfortable. The staff just has a way of making people feel special. It's quite neat in and out. Lovely sights. I booked the hotel for my husband birthday and he was welcomed with a surprise birthday present.

The carpets are a bit stuffy and the room didn't have a minibar.

Beautiful, stylish 1930s hotel. Love the decor in the lobby and outdoor pool area. A very comfortable room with a great view over the harbour and bridge.

The room was spacious, but does need a bit of an update, especially in the bathroom shower the floor tiles were really scruffy. I personally liked the old time feel though. I thought the restaurant food was surprisingly average… No fish, or seafood of any note. Very mainstream and bland. The buffet breakfast was excellent.

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…..

Comfortable modern hotel with nice view of Maputo Bay, large terrace with view and swimming pool, good restaurant, and friendly personnel. Excellent location between between Baixa and Polana.which can be reached by walking. Several restaurants in the vicinity.

One night on a weekend you could hear all night terrible techno music from a disco probably 1 km away.

The room we stayed in was spacious and very clean. The balcony was very big and had a table and chairs, so we could sit there and enjoy the view of the ocean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was of high quality and delicious.

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.
