Location was fantastic, central to everything. The place was super clean and the bed was excellent.
You could reach someone with a phone call but place felt empty.

Bathroom could use update, but it was fine for us.

The hotel was right on the square with the cathedral and in the pedestrian only area of the town. It was a perfect location and it was easy to walk to everything we wanted to see. The room was very nice and clean with a great view of the cathedral. We highly recommend it. We loved the city.
Nothing. It was a great hotel for our short visit to Rouen.

Very central location & easy to walk everywhere
The cathedral carpark was closed - we finally found another carpark but it was not easy and a 15 minute walk with suitcases. It would have been helpful for the hotel to notify incoming guests the carpark is closed.

The location was superb, right next to the cathedral; it's why we chose it. The breakfast was also very good at 12 Euros. There is a fantastic sound and light show every night projected onto the cathedral. Well worth seeing.
The rooms were a little small and there is nothing except reception, the breakfast room and your room, but there are loads of good bars and restaurants nearby. Whilst we liked the location, they should remind visitors that the sound and light show every night starts at about 10:30 and does not finish until about 11:30. So not one for early to bed folk in the summer - we went there not long after the longest day. I suspect it will start and finish earlier in autumn/winter.

Location of the hotel cannot be beat, especially during summer when the cathedral features the light show
Hotel has no AC which forces you to sleep with open windows. That in turn let's in noise from the square.

Very accessible to sites, restaurants and markets. Easily walkable. Comfortable modern beds/bathrooms. Amazing view of Cathedral. Breakfast available. Accommodating- we were able to have rooms next to each other so family was close.
Seating areas in the room were a little tired. Elevator worked well but was very small. It was a very tight fit for a walker/rollator and 1 person.

9.0 / 10.0
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.
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.

The location was central in the Old City with a point blank view of the cathedral. The room was very clean and quiet, and the bed and bedding were very comfortable. The added breakfast option was delicious. The host and staff were very helpful and friendly, especially with arranging taxi pick-ups.

the location of the boutique Hotel Cardinal was lovely, with an amazing view of the Rouen Cathedral. It’s an old building but beautifully updated. The staff was really nice, and we felt very comfortable on our weekend stay. The location was handy to all of the sights.

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.
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.
