    Breakfast was “sufficient “ Hostess not very friendly but I think it was the language barrier perhaps There were large dead plants and deteriorating containers on both sides of balcony which you pay extra for.,…. Really distracts from the wonderful view.

    This is a small hotel in an excellent location. My family had the two rooms on the top floor. The views were excellent. The rooms weren't fancy but they were very clean, recently renovated and comfortable. In fact the mattresses were very good and the rooms very quiet so we slept well. It didn't have the trappings of an expensive hotel, like room service or a concierge but we didn't need those services - we wanted a clean, comfortable hotel in a good location and that is what we got with Hotel Cardinal.

    There is no onsite parking but the public car park is really close by. We loved the location but there can be some noise from the square below so this could be a problem if you need complete quiet to sleep. It didn’t bother us.

    Amazing location and nice clean rooms, ours had a view of the cathedral and the light show on it. Friendly staff. We could walk into all the old streets and to the old market to find loads of great restaurants. All the family agreed that this would be a hotel we would stay at again.

    Would have been nice to have a kettle in the room. Although there are excellent cafes and restaurants adjacent, the hotel is essentially just a collection of bedrooms. One lady on reception

    The location is wonderful, with views over the cathedral and a good car park nearby. Lovely big bath although it took hours to fill!

    Only a suggestion, but not a negative - it would be helpful to know just how to operate the shower as didn't do so correctly and on the last day, had difficulty with hot water. It was no fault of the hotel's. A quick lesson would be helpful.

    We loved that Hotel Cardinal was in an excellent location - close to all the sites we had planned to visit. It was a bonus that there are 2 small restaurants with outside seating right outside the front entrance to the hotel. Our view of the cathedral was exceptional and we were in a suite with a nice sitting area and separate bedroom. Outside our windows were several decks with seating to enjoy the scenery and have a small meal. Very inviting hotel environment, with helpful staff. Exceptionally clean and well maintained. Breakfast was plentiful with many options and excellent coffee and pastries.

    It was pretty hard and stressful to find in the car. You might want to call the hotel if you're driving and get their instructions and advice on where to park. Room was small, but clean and pretty well organized. There was some noise at night because of where we were, but that wasn't too bad. Overall, a very good stay.

    Great location, very nice staff. This was sort of like a little penzione - only 15 rooms, and located on Cathedral Square. Room was fairly small, but functional.

    Room did not have the following: refrigerator, ability to make morning coffee, any type of fan or air circulation. To keep the room cool we had to keep windows open and this resulted in outside noise, especially in the morning when trash trucks came through the area.

    Great location. Be warned that you cannot drive to the hotel as it sits in an area off the main streets. Best to find parking in the area and then walk. We used underground parking and the walk was about 8 minutes from car to hotel.

    I missed the fact there was no air con, so tough night in hot summer because you have to leave window open—mosquitos buzzing and cathedral plaza very noisy with partiers until the wee hours!

    Very well-located, access to cathedral son et lumiere was divine, comfortable bed, great shower with hot water
