A very comfortable small hotel with a unique traditional style, a nice change from more standard contemporary hotels. Excellent location in the heart of the old part of the city.

Fantastic location, very clean, lots of old town charm, and the staff were wonderful. When we messed up our dates, they made it so that we could stay another night without changing rooms at the last minute. We’d stay here again!

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!

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.

Gracious greeting, lift for bags, lovely room with a terrace. Only gripe is no shower, but as we were only there one night, we made do with baths.
Location was ideal for a short stay.

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
