Helpful staff with great recommendations, room was good size for Europe and had a kitchenette, spotless and modern, nice touches like free water and chocolates. excellent location right by main cathedral and easy walk to main sights and right by a tram station (which connects to the train station). Very quiet room. Clarins bath products were terrific, as was the rainfall shower.

I spent 8 lovely nights at Hotel Cardinal. The staff are friendly, speak English very well, and were very helpful with my needs. I loved the sweets at night and the thoughtful notecards. The suite was very clean, comfortable and spacious. It was nice having the kitchenette available and complimentary bottles of water daily. I loved the private outdoor space in the Cardinal suite. Pure delight! I also enjoyed the location!! The tram was steps away if I needed to roam Bordeaux a bit further. My best compliments to staff members, Pauline, Bastion and Chloe. I would definitely return!

I completely enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Staff was prompt to answer my questions and requests, and service was beyond reproach. Breakfast was excellent, both the sweet and salty versions were great. Room service's food was delicious and the presence of a microwave in the room was sure a plus.
