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.

The staff was warm and welcoming. We felt right at home. The location is super - just three blocks from the main pedestrian street with many shops and historic buildings. We will be staying at the Hotel Cardinal next time we visit Aix-en-Provence!

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!

This hotel has a Paris chic flea market vive with great art finds. My room was huge with a separate kitchen and beautiful bath. I overlooked a centuries old church in the old town. The location made it easy to walk everywhere. The room was so beautiful that I hesitated to stay away for hours at a time.

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 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!
