Sheltered in the shadows of the Duomo, The Hotel Cardinal of Florence was once a Renaissance palace occupied by a famous cardinal. Located on one of the oldest streets to the city, Via Borgo Pinti known for its numerous famous convents, the hotel is also centrally located and Florence's many attractions are within a leisurely walk. A panoramic view of Brunelleschi's dome is available from the hotel. Restaurants, bars, cinemas, groceries, banks and post offices are in vicinity.
Nearby Attraction...

Inside the Hotel...
Located on one of the oldest streets to the city known for its numerous famous convents; and housed in a Renaissance palace where an eminent cardinal lived, the Hotel Cardinal of Florence offers sinful delights. Breakfast is far from frugal in the cosy breakfast room serving a rich spread; the cardinal room with a beautiful balcony offers a panoramic 360-degree view of the city while delighting the senses and beautiful common room great for the lazy afternoons.
Inside the Rooms...
Refined guestrooms in warm colours of crimson reds and soothing fawns, dark woods, soft lighting and beautiful frescoed ceilings, in some rooms, frame views of Brunelleschi's dome and are smothered in comfort. The spacious rooms feature well fitted private bathrooms. Recently renovated and subtly housing modern comforts to suit the contemporary traveller, the rooms also include a satellite television, individually controlled heating and air conditioning.

This was a fantanstic location for seening the sights of Florence. The roof terrace was small and you had to ask for a key to open the door but it did give great views of the city. The staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast basic but adequate. i would come back to this hotel primarily for the location and the price Read Less

Excellent location - 5 minutes walk from Duomo. Clean, quiet, medium sized room with air conditioning unit. Above average breakfast - with cereal and yoghurts offered. Narrow dark street with unimposing entrance and 3 storey stone staircase climb to hotel - no lift. Good value for money in Florence. Read Less

Very nice hotel for the price. The climb up the stairs is a bit daunting and the thought of that climb puts you off forgetting anything before you leave your room and ensures that you don't return unless you intend to stay for the night in your room! Breakfast a little on the sweet side but good for continental breakfast. Great value for money. Well situated, spotlessly clean. No problems except the steps - all 100 or so of them as this hotel is entirely situated on the top floor of a very tall building! Read Less

The Hotel Cardinal of Florence was certainly good value for money BUT two main criticisms.
1. The breakfast was frankly lousy with only soft gooey rolls, dry cake and wrapped croissants + 2 cereals on offer. We would have been happy to pay a couple of Euros more for a better selection.
2. The sound insululation was poor and we could hear the use of the bathroom on both sides of our room as well as conversations Read Less
