Room was good and location was great everything was walking distance. It’s outside a very lively area of town so keep that in mind if you want a quiet place. However noise is super suppressed since we are on the 3rd floor. Overall a great stay and the included coffee and juice machine was a big win.

Stay was great. Location was great. However, no one told us that the Hotel was on the 3rd floor with no elevator. Staff carried up the luggage, but for someone with leg issues, this was a problem.

This place was great! Pretty centrally located for all the tours, about a 15 minute walk to anywhere you want to go. Staff was excellent! So helpful wherever I needed help or just had questions about Florence. Nice little breakfast area so you can have coffee and a baked good. Only downside was no elevator and it’s on the third floor so there’s stairs but what can you expect from a build built in the 1600s.
If I ever come back this will be the hotel for me

Great location and the owner helped with our bags, which was awesome since it is 66 steps up, with no lift. Absolutely beautiful rooftop which is where we had happy hour every evening. Lovely bells from the nearby church and gorgeous views.

Perfect location!
Although there was no hot water (an issue they were working on), as we were only booked in for two nights we chose to stay even though they offered us to cancel with no penalty. Honestly it was so hot out that a cool shower was perfect anyway. The staff were so kind, friendly and helpful that I would recommend staying here to anyone.
Secondary, the location is absolutely perfect. Close to everything you’d want to see.

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!
