Great location. Easy walking distance to everything. Everything was a little bit ‘quaint’ in the room and we had to carry our heavy luggage up a narrow steep set of stairs to get to our room. But great view from windows on top floor!

This hotel is charming. While it has modern amenities, you feel like you’ve stepped back in time with the high bedroom ceiling and decor. It’s close to Main Street where the Market happens, as well as the restaurants. It’s nice place to stay while in town.

Quaint hotel with charm - Superb!

Fantastic! The location is perfect...walking distance to everything. The service is spectacular, which is perfect for an early start to the day. Otherwise, I recommend breakfast at any of the cafés just minutes from the hotel to experience the town.

Charming. I think it’s an old Victorian house that has been refurbished and decorated with authentic antiques. Also, all of the art is original which I really appreciate and there is a lot of it. I highly recommend this hotel.

A quiet -perfectly located for tourism -traditional small hotel in an C18 ‘mansion’. Friendly informal service. We stayed in the annexe of ‘superior’ rooms with ( very basic) kitchenettes. The rooms are spacious but in need of some renewal (e.g. the shower/bath). Simple continental breakfast €11.

Enchanted Stay

Our 2 night stay was very comfortable at Hotel Cardinal. We had the top floor room with views of the town and hills on both sides. Like others have said, the decor is beautifully traditional (not modern) but not dingy. We LOVED the character of the hotel and our room. Well-maintained and lovely staff. The location was also perfect, close to many things yet quiet. Our small pup loved it too! Pet’s allowed, always a plus😄 We highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay again. A perfect hotel to tie together a South of France trip. Merci !

This hotel was great! It feels historic on the inside and outside! As I was traveling with a friend, we chose the twin beds room. My bed was nothing fancy, but it was comfortable and I woke up feeling rested. Antique furnishings were delightful! The bathroom was very newly renovated, but in a European way - huge tub with a handheld sprayer, but no curtain or anything to hold the sprayer. I felt very tall entering the bathroom- if you are over 5'4" or so, be prepared to duck! The ceilings are normal height. There was a tiny elevator to the third floor. Staff were gracious and helpful, and let us store our luggage after we checked out. We did not choose the breakfast, but the dining room was cozy and I kind of wish we had. The location was perfect- a very short walk from the train station and close to everything. If you are very snobby about everything being new and just so, you should stay somewhere else. If you appreciate charm and character, this place will delight you!

We stayed in a fabulous room with a very tall ceiling and windows that looked right onto a church plaza with beautiful windows in a flower box. The room had a lovely sitting area and a kitchenette as well. It wasn't entirely easy to find just due to the roads in town and there wasn't parking on site. However, the hotel proprietors were extremely helpful in guiding us to the property and helping us find parking. The breakfast option was wonderful. Grand and elegant place. Location cannot be beat: charming and walk to everything

It was like having our own apartment with separate kitchen in a quiet square across from a museum/ art gallery & actual hotel was round corner which was fine. Loved it. No lift but drawback was just shower in bath without curtain or screen so wet floor.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The place is really special with an old World feel about it enhanced by a large room with bathroom and kitchen annexed, and being right next to an art museum and the St John of Malta Church dating back to the 13th century. Staff were friendly. The downside was cleanliness. The electric jug had a film on it, pots were unclean and a cup had lipstick on it. Just a little bit of effort scrubbing the bath and dishes would help. Also while there is dish cleaner and scrubbing brush there is no tea towel to dry the dishes.

Wonderful stay here during a hot, Cezanne-busy August. Perfect location amidst the charm of Aix - and walkable to everything - the musée Granet is seconds away! And then shops, markets, restaurants, galleries. The old charm is exquisite. The owner and team are too lovely. I felt so at home. So happy to have found this spot. Very good quality / cost

Was really pleased with my stay. Perfect location, across street from Musee Granet. Staff helpful and courteous. Room like something from another era—very spacious, a bit of faded grandeur (which was fine—I didn’t expect anything different). And priced very fairly. Would definitely stay there again if back in Aix.
