The location and staff were exceptional. It was a quick walk to restaurants and major attractions and the street it was located on was in the vehicle restricted area so there was very limited traffic and noise. Breakfast in the morning was a nice mix of pastries, meat and cheeses, yogurt and cereal.

Christina United States of America

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, and the hotel is in an excellent location.

Bruce United States of America

The Hotel Cardinal is absolutely the perfect place to stay in Florence. It was an excellent location, the best staff, a perfect room, and breakfast. Loved it.

Melissa United States of America

Room and bathroom were immaculate! Surprisingly good and varied breakfast. A neat, quiet vista spot on the roof.

Faris Canada

Mario was amazing! He answered all of our questions before we asked them. Brought us hot water for tea at 10:30 at night. Hauled both of our heavy suitcases up the three flights of stairs and directed us to the perfect restaurant that gave us a magnificent view of the city! He gets a 10+ rating!!

Stay in the heart of Florence – Excellent location – show map

One of our top picks in Florence. Just 1,000 feet from the Duomo, Hotel Cardinal of Florence is a 3-star building in the city center. You can enjoy breathtaking views from the rooftop terrace, where breakfast and aperitifs are served. The rooms are air conditioned and have satellite TV.

Located on the third floor of a historic building without a elevator, the hotel has a free porter service and offers a magical Renaissance atmosphere and bright, modern accommodations.

The rooms with attached bathroom feature tiled floors and classic furnishings. Some rooms feature panoramic views of Brunelleschi’s dome, of the famous Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore.

At the hotel's partner spa, guests can book spa treatments, manicures, pedicures and massages at an extra cost.

Cardinal of Florence Hotel is within a ten-minute walk from major monuments. These include the Accademia Gallery, Piazza della Signoria and one of the world’s oldest museums The Uffizi Gallery.

This is our guests' favorite part of Florence, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.

  • How does one get to the hotel? Do you use a train or bus? And how far is the nearest train or bus?

    The Hotel is just 15 minutes by walk from the main train station. If you don't want to walk you can use the taxi service outside the train station or take a little bus called C2 (every 20 minutes), you need to stop in "P.zza Salvemini" which is just 1 minute from us. Mario - Hotel Cardinal
