What guests think
Hotel Cardinal draws consistent praise for its central, walkable setting in Aix’s historic quarter near Musée Granet and Cours Mirabeau, and for its charming 18th‑century character filled with antiques, art, and a quiet, cozy atmosphere.
Reviews highlight warm, friendly, and personalized service from the owner and team. Rooms are often spacious with classic decor, some offering kitchenettes or views, though bathrooms commonly feature tub-only handheld showers. Historic constraints mean stairs and limited elevator access in parts, no on-site parking and occasional difficulty finding the property; accessibility can be challenging. Expect a low-frills stay best suited to travelers comfortable with older buildings.

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!

The room was gorgeous and very historic. Website said the property has an elevator, which isn’t true for some parts. The lady at the front desk was nice enough to help haul my luggage up the 3 flights of stairs. It was a bit precarious bringing it all down to check out. The breakfast was absolutely lovely.

Everything was spotlessly clean. Room was large. Kitchen was basically bare. For the price, please provide some essentials allowing you to make a coffee at least. And mention that the rooms are 4 floors up by stairs. One last issue was that nobody at the hotel spoke anything other than French. If these things had been made clear on the hotel description, we would definitely have chosen another hotel.

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

We had a beautiful main floor room that opened into our own private courtyard with fountains. A very nice surprise. We had a 3 person family room. Large bathroom with nice fixtures. No shower but the deep tub had a nice handheld. The only downside was there's no parking nearby and very narrow one way streets. But that would apply to all the similar hotels in the area

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.

I stayed here for six nights while visiting my daughter in Aix. You absolutely cannot beat location!! I loved being able to have one of the windows in my bathroom open every night and there was absolutely no noise (even though in middle of town) to wake you up during the night. Everyone was so nice & everything was so clean.

Very nice neighborhood and helpful staff, but the room was not well equipped with pillows and the bed was uncomfortable. In the bathroom, there was no shower curtain, so the only thing to do was to use the shower head as a bath and spray water all over the room. BReakfast with adequate, but not that good and not a good value for the price.

옛 건물의 독특한 실내건축양식을 그대로 볼 수 있어 이번 여행에서 재미있는 숙박경험이었습니다. 바로 옆에 그라네 미술관도 있고 조용한 호텔입니다. 욕실은 깨끗하게 개조되어있고 귀여운 엘리베이터도 있습니다. 가족경영호텔이라는데 친절하십니다.

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

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

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.

We had a beautiful main floor room that opened into our own private courtyard with fountains. A very nice surprise. We had a 3 person family room. Large bathroom with nice fixtures. No shower but the deep tub had a nice handheld. The only downside was there's no parking nearby and very narrow one way streets. But that would apply to all the similar hotels in the area

This is a beautiful old building with lovely antique furniture and filled with high-quality original paintings. It is a virtual museum. Our room had a closed in patio and a complete kitchen! The bldg has a fantastic location across the square fin a church snd the Museum Granet, and is one short block to Old Town. A small bus (holding 6 passengers) stops on the corner, costs 1,30€ and takes a loop through OldTown. We'd loved the hotel, wonderful stall, very convenient location, and excellent, reasonable breakfast (only 11€}. We recommend it highly and plan to return!

The room was gorgeous and very historic. Website said the property has an elevator, which isn’t true for some parts. The lady at the front desk was nice enough to help haul my luggage up the 3 flights of stairs. It was a bit precarious bringing it all down to check out. The breakfast was absolutely lovely.

Very nice neighborhood and helpful staff, but the room was not well equipped with pillows and the bed was uncomfortable. In the bathroom, there was no shower curtain, so the only thing to do was to use the shower head as a bath and spray water all over the room. BReakfast with adequate, but not that good and not a good value for the price.

Everything was wonderful except the bath/shower. We don’t like baths and prefer showers. The room we had was a large (very clean) tub with a long shower handle/hose. It was difficult to work with set up as we are 5’6” & 6’2” and not as flexible as we once were. I would stay again if we could be in a room equipped for a proper shower. Besides that, everything was wonderful and the staff was gracious. We found many good restaurants & bars and met many locals.
