The hotel was very disappointing, it was on the third floor of the building with no lift access. The entrance was dimly lit and the staircase narrow and gloomy.. There are no staff present over night from 2200-0800. This meant checking out with no receptionist. The room was small, furniture dated and my room was immediately next to the reception and main entrance 3 metres away. As a consequence, extremely noisy with people coming back late and the hotels answer was to provide earplugs! The air conditioning was temperamental. Extremely noisy bar and restaurant immediately below with lots of people sitting and drinking on the streets. I regret staying here, and would not recommend to others.

This isn’t a luxury hotel. It’s a comfortable, small hotel with extraordinarily kind staff who really want you to enjoy Florence. If you are looking for authenticity you will be surrounded by small bars, cafes and restaurants run by actual Florentines - and you will probably have a better time than if you stayed in someplace that cost twice as much. We loved every minute of it - and particularly the staff, who were wonderful.

This hotel is located just about 5 minutes walking distance to Duma. Nice location. Warm hospitality and very helpful, great assistance with bringing our luggage up and down the stairs . Even though this hotel doesn’t have elevator and it is on 3 floors!!!!! At night, all the young generation party in this area and it is very lively.

Not good hotel but a nice location

The only reason I’m giving two stars is because the people were extremely kind and the location was wonderful. There are three very steep flights of stairs up to the hotel with no elevator. No in room, coffee or safe. There rooftop bar a great view but it is a joke. They kept saying that they had just reopened. We booked based on the ratings. It was terrible. With that said, the location was wonderful just off a little square with plenty of restaurants and wonderful coffees. It did not disappoint our trip. But it took everything we had not to move hotels. And by the way, it was nonrefundable so it would’ve been $2000 right now. I would advise you not stay here, especially if you’re older and the stairs are problematic.

Clean but a bit run down. The room has not been updated for a long time. This is the first time I have ever booked a room that did not have soap for the shower. The cord to the hair dryer had bare wires showing. The remote for the heat did not work properly. Staff really tried hard to make things fright but it was not possible. Great location, clean but a spare and rundown venue.

Hotel Cardinal of Florence was the perfect hotel for us to stay for four days. The service was fantastic, our room was very spacious and the rooftop patio was delightful. And it was easy walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do while in Florence. We would absolutely stay here again!

Staff at reception excel in customer service. They carry your luggage up the stairs for you arriving and leaving the hotel. They have the option to store your luggage if you arrive early and if you have a late flight out . The terrace is beautiful for photos. All three guys who rotated at reception in our short stay where very friendly and helpful. Rooms where clean and the AC was awesome for the hot weather .
