Wonderful location, comfortable, clean, and the staff were helpful and friendly. As the website says, there's no onsite parking but there is a lot and garage about 5 minutes walking away. Right on the square with a beautiful view of the cathedral.

Charming, spotless boutique hotel
Hotel Cardinal was a perfect hotel for us. It is lovingly cared for by the owner who does the cleaning herself. The rooms are very nicely appointed and most have a direct view of the Rouen Cathedrale that cannot be beat. Breakfast offers a variety of fresh foods in a pretty little room with lovely stained glass windows. If we are ever in Rouen we would ONLY stay here!

This is a lovely hotel with simple and clean rooms set up smack on the city square that features one of the world’s great cathedrals. Our room had large windows opening out to the square and where we could listen to the cathedral bells. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Arrived at the hotel around 8pm to find no one on reception, although booking says open until 9pm. Wasn’t able to advise arrival after 6pm as we were delayed by traffic on the way. No one answered the telephone number stuck to the entrance but someone from the bar next door let us in! As there was no one on reception we could enquire about breakfast the following morning. Disappointed with our room - seems a lot smaller than any on the photos (no 9). Also has peeling paintwork and mould in the shower. Not what I expected to pay over £90 for 1 night. There are certainly better and cleaner hotels in Rouen for the price.

Great location
A good location right opposite the cathedral and next to a few good cafe bars. No car parking on site but there is an underground carpark within 5 mins walk. At 11pm there is a lightship on the outside walls of the cathedral - worth watching. Breakfast at the hotel though was expensive for what we got.

Great location, small, but typical for a European standard room size, towels were heavily worn. No safe in the room.

Howard

On arrival at 2 PM, the front doors were locked and we had to call an emergency number to get somebody to open. The rooms are exceedingly small and no decor. We had to call to ask for basics like a blanket for the bed, pillows, shampoo. The staff is tiny, and seem to be stretched too thin, but very pleasant when you could find them. This was our first night after an overnight flight, and we did not know that there would be a loud sound and light projection on the cathedral wall directly across the square. Having said all that, did we hate it? No, not really, but wouldn’t really want to stay there again.

Chris

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Small, noisy and hot.
We paid extra for an upgraded room, but the room we had was extremely small, barely room to walk around the bed. The room was hot and as there was no airconditioning we had to keep the window open all night which meant it was very noisy due to the partying going on until about 3 am and the streetcleaners. The facilities were basic, not even a rubbish bin anywhere in the bedroom or bathroom. The cups in the bathroom were dirty with toothpaste residue from previous guests. The mirror had a chunk missing leaving a sharp edge right by the handle for the taps. The towels were dirty so we left them on the floor for housekeep to replace, as instructed. Housekeeping came and just hung up the towels so then we had damp and dirty towels for morning. There was no-one at reception most of the time and no way to contact them, you just let yourself in with a PIN code for the main entrance. Overall a disappointing and expensive stay with very little sleep.

Propre et belle vue mais accueil et petit dej à te
Hôtel propre et fonctionnel avec vue direct sur la cathédrale de Rouen. L'hôtel est très propre. Cependant l Accueil laisse franchement à désirer. UnePersonne seule pour tout gérer ; Ce qui implique que vous pouvez attendre une demi-heure devant la porte lors votre arrivée si Elle n’est pas là! vraiment dommage. Le numéro de téléphone est une ligne fixe qui sonne dans le vide la plupart du temps. Le petit déjeuner est également au revoir : très peu de choix salés : pas d œufs ni bacon , incohérent au regard de la clientèle anglo-saxonne.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
ホテルの入口は施錠され、ドアにフランス語の手書きメモが貼ってありました。手書きのため写真翻訳できず、通りがかりの人に読んでもらうと、電話番号が書いてあり電話しろとのこと。電話したらフランス語で捲し立てられ、訳がわからず立ち尽くしていたら、しばらくして中から人が出てきてドアを開けてくれました。入り口ドアの暗証番号だけを教えられた後は、フロントは無人で一切のサービスや案内はしてくれません。 部屋は綺麗でしたが、大きな鳥や鳩が窓の横で鳴いていました。着いた時はうるさい程度でしたが、翌朝早くからけたたましい鳴き声がして、予定よりも1時間前に起こされてしまいました。 最悪なのは設備。シャワーのお湯がぬるめなのと、フェイスタオルがないこと、寒いのに暖房が切られているのは我慢できましたが、たくさんあるコンセントに電気が通っておらず、充電できなかったのには困り果て、フロントに電話してもフランス語のテープが流れているだけ。コールバックのメッセージを残しましたが、チェックアウトのときにさえ、素知らぬフリでした。
