Beautiful hotel, great breakfast, quiet at night, located right in front of the Cathedral and next to all points of interest and restaurants, very convenient! The only issue that we had was with the internet which at the moment of our stay the property had problems with the signal, further than that our stay was a great one!!!

Arrived at the hotel around 8pm to find no one on reception, although booking says open until 9pm. Wasn’t able to advise arrival after 6pm as we were delayed by traffic on the way. No one answered the telephone number stuck to the entrance but someone from the bar next door let us in! As there was no one on reception we could enquire about breakfast the following morning. Disappointed with our room - seems a lot smaller than any on the photos (no 9). Also has peeling paintwork and mould in the shower. Not what I expected to pay over £90 for 1 night. There are certainly better and cleaner hotels in Rouen for the price.

Charming, spotless boutique hotel

Hotel Cardinal was a perfect hotel for us. It is lovingly cared for by the owner who does the cleaning herself. The rooms are very nicely appointed and most have a direct view of the Rouen Cathedrale that cannot be beat. Breakfast offers a variety of fresh foods in a pretty little room with lovely stained glass windows. If we are ever in Rouen we would ONLY stay here!

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort

Small, noisy and hot.

We paid extra for an upgraded room, but the room we had was extremely small, barely room to walk around the bed. The room was hot and as there was no airconditioning we had to keep the window open all night which meant it was very noisy due to the partying going on until about 3 am and the streetcleaners. The facilities were basic, not even a rubbish bin anywhere in the bedroom or bathroom. The cups in the bathroom were dirty with toothpaste residue from previous guests. The mirror had a chunk missing leaving a sharp edge right by the handle for the taps. The towels were dirty so we left them on the floor for housekeep to replace, as instructed. Housekeeping came and just hung up the towels so then we had damp and dirty towels for morning. There was no-one at reception most of the time and no way to contact them, you just let yourself in with a PIN code for the main entrance. Overall a disappointing and expensive stay with very little sleep.

Great location

A good location right opposite the cathedral and next to a few good cafe bars. No car parking on site but there is an underground carpark within 5 mins walk. At 11pm there is a lightship on the outside walls of the cathedral - worth watching. Breakfast at the hotel though was expensive for what we got.
