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.

Good quality hotel, helpful staff, good breakfast.
Walking distance from station and city centre (each abut 15 minutes).
Decent selection of places to eat in the immediate area. Not quiet outside, but its in Naples!

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 were very friendly and helpful. Stairs could pose a problem for some guests. Lovely views from terrace but would have been better if there was some shade. Too hot to sit up there.

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 .

This place is a dump and that’s a complement, bugs in the bed, toilet keep sticking and not flushing, I could stand in the center of the room and touch the walls on both sides of the room.
If your booking like I did due to the photos, it’s a scam photography, 3 flights of very narrow steep stairs to get to the front desk.
Avoid unless you want to be unpleasantly surprised.
The best thing this hotel has going for it is prime location!

Location, location, location…Hotel Cardinal is steps away from Duomo and easy walking distance to most of Florence’s major sights. There is a roof top terrace that provides a view of Florence. There are plenty of dining choices and shopping nearby. The staff are very helpful. The property is a three storey walk up with no lift available - not necessarily a bad thing unless you are mobility challenged then this property is not a good choice. The Bathroom has space enough for a larger shower - the tiny shower box installed is unacceptable for a hotel standard. The Toilet is crowded by the Vanity Sink. A rethink on Bathroom appliance arrangement is needed.
