Set in a charming garden this old world palace is a bargain of a treat. Build into the old city wall of Toledo at the bottom of the hill, but right next to the escalator into the touristy old town center. If you train to Toledo from Madrid, a taxi ride to the hotel is about 6 EU. I do... More

We stayed overnight at the Hostal Del Cardenal while in Toledo last month. The property is spectacular--truly lovely and probably even more so in the warmer weather. It's one of the most beautiful hotel properties I've ever seen. Rooms were spotless, on the smaller side but typical for Europe and well-appointed. The price was ridiculously reasonable. Worth the visit. More

We were initially going to make a reservation at the Hilton but the concierge at the Ritz in Madrid suggested we stay here instead. It was an excellent recommendation (for us). Located in the wall of historic city of Toledo, the Cardenal is an oasis that you'd love to retire to after a day among the crowds walking around Toledo.... More

The best thing in this hotel is its location in and old historic building. Everything in it helps create the atmosphere. Rooms are well-equipped, though any sort of fridge would have been welcome. More

We stayed here july 2011 for 2 nights. I am so glad it was recommended in the Rick Steves guidebook. It is located right in the wall of Toledo so it is very easy to drive to and park without trying to drive into the heart of the old city center or lugging suitcases trying to find the hotel. It...

It was a peaceful place to retreat to after a day of walking around Toledo. The breakfast was convenient and edible, cheeses, hams, tortillas, breads with juice and coffee. I enjoyed my stay, loved the uniqueness of the... More

This was supposed to be the highlight of our trip to Spain to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. We had booked a suite with terrace view over the old walls. The room was lovely as anticipated, but on either side workmen were renovating each room noisily and with foul smelling paint, etc. On drawing the problem to the staff's attention... More

If you are a history buff, this hotel is for you. It was originally a Cardinal's palace and is built right into the old city wall of medieval Toledo, Spain. The hotel is in an excellent location and is full of antiques and charm. One word of caution, there are lots of steps getting up to the hotel once the... More

The hotel is, like the town, full of charm and peace. It is full of quaint corners and lounges and even a nice Moorish courtyard in which to read a book or catch up with email. It is a little gem set in a former Cardinal's palace and very comfortable. Its situation by the Bisagra gate makes it easy to... More
