Ideal location to explore the city. Very discreet next to the hotel de ville and cathedral . Very quiet hotel with excellent air conditioning.
Room privilege not quite large enough for a comfortable chair but minor concern

It located close to many places to eat and shop. It also was very close to 2 tram stops that could quickly take you anywhere in central Bordeaux.
The hotel was on a quiet street. The rooms were spacious and unique. The staff were very friendly and helpful always.
I can’t think of anything that I didn’t like!

the location was good, and well placed for walking in the centre. the shower was very good, i did like having an option for making simple food and having a choice of comfy chair or chair at the table. The fridge was good but noisy.there wasn’t much noise disturbance outside,it’s a quiet street. lots of living area space which was nice.
the place has little atmosphere, not a hotel really. It lacks personality despite rooms looking good. No view, a very boring place really. I did not require room cleaning, but I had no one visit my room to check my needs for coffee, towels or a loo roll either, and I stayed 4 nights. so i had to keep asking when someone was around. I did get the coffee and a loo roll in the end. The ‘kitchenette’ is badly planned and I don’t like that there is no plug for the sink , nor in the bathroom. terrible waste of water despite my efforts. the bed was too soft and the pillows awfully soft, I slept badly. it’s an expensive place to stay-

We recently stayed at the Hotel Cardinal for 5 nights in February 2025. Our stay was excellent, a 10 out of 10.
There are so many positives to say about the Hotel Cardinal.
First, the location is so good, right behind the Cathedrale St-Andre. But don't worry, the sound of the bells from the tower on the other side don't really bother you. The hotel is steps away from the historic L'Hotel de ville, and a 2 minute walk from the Musee des Beaux Arts. It is very easy to walk from the hotel to many other beautiful and historic sights, and shopping. The tram lines also stop by the cathedrale.
The hotel itself, like so much of the old city center, is a very old building that is beautifully restored on the inside. Our sleeping room was a very good size, with a small kitchen, which came in handy. The room was super clean and quiet and intimate. I believe there are only 10 rooms in the Hotel Cardinal. Each room has a name, not a number.
The staff is truly extraordinary. In our experience Axel and Bastien were also ready to help us with anything we needed: extra towels, directions to anywhere we wanted to go, arranging a taxi, even getting toast for my wife when she wasn't feeling well.
Things you might want to know: Ask the hotel to call a taxi if you need one. We used a taxi to go to the train station (20 Euros) so we didn't have to change tram lines with our bags. If you take an uber, you should know that ubers are not allowed on the small street in front of the hotel, but taxis are allowed. The hotel has a breakfast for extra cost, which we did not have. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but that doesn't matter because there are so many other places just steps away from the front door.
Summary: My wife and I highly recommend the Hotel Cardinal for many reasons, its location, its beautiful condition with very good sized rooms, The hotel is very small and quiet and charming. The staff is superior, always with such excellent attention paid.
Loved everything.

The location and the size of the room and how kind the staff is. Really good with our dog as well.
We didn’t do the breakfast. It didn’t look like a great value for what was offered.

Great location, within walking distance to the St. Catherine shopping avenue and the Opera House and river. Tram lines provide access to more distant hotspots. Our room was a suite with a separate living area and kitchenette. Very comfortable bed and Clarins toiletries. Outstanding cleanliness and wonderful small touches like complmentary shoe shine and daily refresh of a small chocolate or biscuit. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and very polite.
Nothing at all!
Thank you for your information!
