Visitors frequently praise the Cardoso's beautiful building, its unique boat shape, and the amazing harbor views, along with the helpful and friendly staff and good food. However, some guests have noted that while the food is tasty, the menu lacks variety, and the hotel's carpet can sometimes retain a lingering cigarette smell.

I stayed one night at the hotel and it was fantastic. The service is good and the staff are willing to help. The restaurant food was a pleasant surprise; although the menu is simple and without much variety, the food is plentiful and tasty. The rooms are clean and well-equipped. The hotel has carpet and sometimes the smell of cigarettes lingers in the hallway. Overall, I recommend it; it was a good experience.
