Wonderful boutique hotel!

Charming converted hotel. Great service. Breakfast is served in your suite which is really convenient and adds a touch of luxury to the service. Its a boutique hotel so possesses a charm not found in chain hotels.

Stop looking and book hotel cardinal.

It is an oasis of calm and beauty. We had an incredible stay and will return for sure. Staff met our every request, no matter how hard, and help us wrangle a literal carload of baggage. Breakfast (in the room!) was divine, too,

Excellent!

The room was great and the help at the front desk was absolutely excellent. The room was very well appointed—even had a little kitchen—but there was a lot of dust under the bed. I say this in order to alert the hotel and help them improve. But I loved the hotel and would stay there again!

We totally enjoyed our 3 night stay here. Outside our room was a very nice patio area, which we enjoyed. Morning French breakfast was lovely. Access to the tram was just a short walk around the corner. Restaurants were in the square nearby as well as stores. All the staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Pauline was wonderful. The suite was of generous size. If we ever come back to Bordeaux again we will definitely stay here again. Will be recommending it to our friends. For some reason the dates are incorrect. We checked out on July 14.

The property has absolutely no parking available not even to check in. Public parking is far and hard to reach specially with luggage. The hotel smelled strongly like sewer lines and if there were issues we were not informed in advance so we can book anotjer hotel . We had to sleep with all the windows open, even so the smell was very bad, and its very very noisy at nigh. The floors are very uneven, and the rooms are so small you can barely walk around. If it was listed less stars i would understand but at the price level and stars advertised its completely unacceptable.

Great location, friendly staff and comfortable.

Really great location for the hotel, we arrived at night so wasn’t the easiest to find straight away. Easy to get to everywhere either on tram or walking, great food locally. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful, we were unsure whether the hotel had a restaurant as we were never told about it asked so maybe they didn’t. However we forgot our plug converters and the staff were able to lend us two plugs which was excellent. The room was lovely, not a great view out of the window, looking directly at another wall but it was nice. The only thing we thought was that the bed was made for us but not changed, we understand for the environment bedding but not be changed everyday however staying 5 days for the cost we paid the bedding should have been changed, especially the pillows. Having said that we would stay again at the hotel and we would highly recommend it for location, friendliness of staff and comfort.
