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!!!

Wonderful location, comfortable, clean, and the staff were helpful and friendly. As the website says, there's no onsite parking but there is a lot and garage about 5 minutes walking away. Right on the square with a beautiful view of the cathedral.

Very nice hotel centrally located just next to the cathedral. Specious room and bath room. To those who like to nap - a bit noisy in the afternoon

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!

This is a lovely hotel with simple and clean rooms set up smack on the city square that features one of the world’s great cathedrals. Our room had large windows opening out to the square and where we could listen to the cathedral bells. Highly recommend!

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.

Great location, small, but typical for a European standard room size, towels were heavily worn. No safe in the room.

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.

On arrival at 2 PM, the front doors were locked and we had to call an emergency number to get somebody to open. The rooms are exceedingly small and no decor. We had to call to ask for basics like a blanket for the bed, pillows, shampoo. The staff is tiny, and seem to be stretched too thin, but very pleasant when you could find them. This was our first night after an overnight flight, and we did not know that there would be a loud sound and light projection on the cathedral wall directly across the square. Having said all that, did we hate it? No, not really, but wouldn’t really want to stay there again.

4/10

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.

Dans une rue piétonne, juste devant la cathédrale. Excellent emplacement. Stationnement un peu loin, mais ça vaut la peine! Personnel sympathique et aidant.
