Hotel is perfectley placed for exploring Florence, about a 5 min walk from the Duomo and 10 mins from The Uffizi. We arrived at the hotel by taxi, it's about 1km from the train station, but it is part way up a one way street so our driver reversed as far up the street as he could and dropped us... more

Hotel Cardinal is in central Florence, but you need to catch a taxi to get there as Florence can be difficult to navigate if you are unfamiliar with it. We caught the taxi from the airport, and it cost us 40 euro. The taxi will also drop you off about 10 metres down the road, as the road which the... more

Hotel Cardinal is a nice hotel located right behind the Duomo in Florence. The hotel can be reached by a 10 minutes drive by taxi from the Railway station. Its advisable to take a taxi as its difficult to find the place on your own the first time you visit. Besides, its a 20-25 minutes walk from the station so... more

We parked our rented car at Piazzale Michelangelo (as recommended by Rick Steve) for free and took the bus into the city centre. We had gotten instuctions from the hotelier and they were right on. We found that this hotel was right in the the heart of Florence. Within walking distance to what we wanted to see in a day... more

After finally finding this hotel and being unable to park our car anywhere, even to deposit the luggage things only got worse...we (myself, 2 young children and my husband) had to haul our luggage up 60 odd steep steps to the 4th floor to reception with no help from anyone at Reception either. Upon checking we were told that even... more

I booked the hotel mainly for its location and after having read the reviews by other travellers (on tripadvisor) I was quite worried, I have to say. However, the stay at this hotel turned out to be a very good one indeed. Our room was very nicely furnished, very roomy, it had a very good bathroom, a TV and airconditioning... more

I went with a friend for a long weekend in October, it was the first time we had gone away without adults but had both been to florence before, but naturally wanted to be in the centre! This hotel did not disappoint, we were right next to the Duomo up a very lovely Italian street, its just what you want!... more

Again - the stairs are a problem - they really need a lift - I left at 6am with only one man on reception he didn't help me down with my bags. Walls very thin!! You can not only hear conversations but tvs, bathroom water running. However, It was modern and clean and staff in general were friendly. I stay... more

Stayed with my wife and 2 teenage sons. Rooms were recently painted and hotel building was in good shape. Location was only 10 minutes walk from the duomo, so that part was good. The bed was the worst we had in Italy - and that's saying something! The hotel is 60 odd steps up a narrow staircase and there's no... more
