Just went to the restaurant… me and my mom really love to go there because it’s something that we’ve been doing for many years so it was good to be there, like nothing changed so it gave us that throwback feeling! The thing is… the service at the restaurant was a disaster, first of all they didn’t even came with the menus, i had to go to the bar and ask, after that we asked one of the waiter to get the order, he simply ignored us, i had to go back to the bar and ask for the food. After that i asked the friendly waiter who was at the bar if he could send one of his coworkers to get the drinks order. Nobody came again… it’s kinda sad because you get disappointed before eating. The food was not thaaaaaat good. We asked for sandwiches and some penne pasta that was undercooked but they rectified. Besides this, it was good to be there, it stills look good and it’s a very cozy place to be.

I've spent two and a half cumulative months in sub-Saharan Africa (6 countries) and Cardoso is the best hotel I've been to. Not the most luxurious (though the most luxurious of the six I've been in Mozambique), but the one where I felt most at home. And this was because of the staff. For this particular trip (business) we were a group of five, with very complex reservations spanning a period of two weeks that we needed to change several times during our stay. Staff went well off their way and then next level up to accommodate us when they didn't have to. Never seen anything like that, in Africa or elsewhere. Rooms are nice, comfortable, well equipped, with safe and door chain. I stayed in three and all had working bathtub.

I travel a LOT for work and pleasure and this one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The building is old and that is exactly what gives it charm - it’s been very well maintained and is kept immaculately clean, and the pretty art doesn’t hurt :) Beautiful, spacious grounds to enjoy a stunning view and relax by the pool, read, or have a meeting at a small table. Comfy beds and extra hot showers with good water pressure, which are so important when travelling.

The food at the restaurant is excellent (an unconventional choice, but the Greek salad was one of the best I’ve ever had). Not an extremely large menu but everything I had was delicious and the breakfast buffet is impressive, and they even have proper coffee. The bar is also very reasonably priced.

Additionally, we held a two day training session and I was floored by how flawless the systems and support were - super fast and reliable Wifi, every screen or cable you could need without even having to ask. I’ve never had such a seamless experience hosting these types of events at a hotel venue.

Lastly, the staff is EXCEPTIONAL. So kind, helpful and any request you might have is handled with the utmost professionalism and genuine courtesy. This was one leg of a long journey so I had to utilize every service from laundry to airport transfer, and I couldn’t complain about a single thing.

If I am ever fortunate enough to return to Maputo, I will stay here again without a second thought and recommend to anyone I know that finds their way here. Thank you so much to everyone at Cardoso for making my stay such a...

Arrived at the hotel with the normal confusion trying to find parking. There were lots of NATO soldiers standing around. After we sorted out the parking, two blocks away from the hotel, we were booked into three rooms. Although the rooms were very big they started to show their age. The rooms we were in, shower walls were mouldy, and needed a good scrub. Some of the furniture were scratched and did not belonged in such a big space.||As we travelled a long way we decided to partake in the buffet supper. What a very BIG disappointment! The fish was cold and leathery and the potatoes must have been prepared hours before. Pork, all cut up, had a dubious past and inedible. Chicken wings made the last of the “ meat dishes” and was about the best, but nothing to write home about. The average price was R660 per person. We could have done better by ordering a hamburger from a take away operator!||Breakfast was completely different and all food was up to standard. Word of warning : Avoid the buffet supper at all costs.||Reason for the NATO soldiers was that the commander for Mozambique sector was replaced by a new commander. By the looks of the “grand affair” a lot of money was spent on...
