Hotel Cardinal Of Florence

“Greatest hospitality we experienced”

Thing that stood out for us was the hospitality of the staff. The front desk people were so warm and welcoming. They helped us with our bags, booked us a taxi and helped us get the bags to the taxi while it was raining (they even refused a tip when I offered for helping us in the rain). Taxis dont … more

They helped us with our bags, booked us a taxi and helped us get the bags to the taxi while it was raining (they even refused a tip when I offered for helping us in the rain). Taxis dont stop right at the front entrance of the hotel. They served us with some water and welcome bottle of champaign. The coffee machines they have had good coffee along with some pastries to start off the day before a bigger breakfast. The rooftop was awesome! There was a grocery store nearby and we brought a bottle of wine from there and had it as the rooftop. This was the least star rating hotel we stayed at while in Italy (other hotels we stayed at were 4 stars) but we had the best experience staying here. Would definitely recommend others to stay here! I loved them!

“A great place to stay with beautiful roof top terrace”

We loved our stay at the Cardinal and would definitely stay here again. The staff were so friendly and helpful. On our arrival they gave us a map and all the info we needed to make our stay perfect. The location is excellent. Room was spacious and bathroom was great. A highlight was the roof top balcony which we used every evening. Beautiful panoramic views of Florence and a perfect place to have a drink and watch the sunset. Wi-Fi was a little sketchy but it did work. Complimentary water, juice, biscuits and croissants in the morning were a lovely touch! We will definitely be back :)

“Fantastic hotel”

Beautiful location, amazing view of the duomos, and amazing hosts. Mario was always nice, friendly and super- helpful. I will definitely stay there when I visit Florence again. Definitely don't miss the rooftop terrace - beautiful view of the city andthe Duomo. Highly recommended.

“Cons outweigh pros, especially if you need a quiet place to sleep.”

Hmm 🤔 Cardinal is a toss up, and I don't plan on staying there again. The location seems great for the Duomo. But the hotel wasn't quiet to let us sleep well. Cardinal is next to a late night bar, and very young bar clients were so loud that they woke us up each night despite closing the windows. 😒… more

Hmm 🤔 Cardinal is a toss up, and I don't plan on staying there again. The location seems great for the Duomo. But the hotel wasn't quiet to let us sleep well. Cardinal is next to a late night bar, and very young bar clients were so loud that they woke us up each night despite closing the windows. 😒 The seemingly quant street in the daytime turns into a teenage hangout at nighttime. (Italians start drinking earlier.) That'd be OK but the hotel room walls were also paper thin. My hearing isn't supersonic, yet we were woken up to our neighbors both nights.🙉 I heard their gossip, and endured listening to their screaming, bed squeaking intimacy 😯🤫 Anyways, the staff is super friendly! And the rooftop terrace is great to sit with a glass and quietly take in Florence. 👌 The shower water was hot, but my mother would gag at the buildup of dirt in the seams. There is no breakfast, no bar, and the coffee machine is mediocare compared to Italian espresso. So there's not much to offer guests for the price. I *could* overlook the cons if I had gotten a good night's rest! Isn't that the point of hotels?! So the cons outweigh the pros. ⚖️
