We recently stayed at Hotel Hacienda del Cardenal in Toledo and were truly impressed by the stunning property. Attached to the ancient fortress walls, the hotel exudes historic charm, with beautifully maintained gardens, a peaceful courtyard, and not one but two inviting pools—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
The location is another big plus. Just a short walk to the old town, the hotel is conveniently located near the public escalators , making access to the historic center very easy.
A special mention goes to Angelica at the front desk, who was extremely helpful and accommodating during our check-in. She made sure our luggage was taken care of even though we arrived before the official check-in time, and her warm demeanor set the tone for a pleasant stay.
We were initially looking forward to trying the hotel's restaurant, particularly their suckling pig, but it was closed on Sunday—something worth noting for future guests. Despite that, we were very happy with our room. It was clean, well laid out, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Housekeeping staff were also friendly and efficient throughout our stay.
Breakfast was perhaps the weakest part of the experience, the selection was average.
All in all, Hotel Hacienda del Cardenal offers a beautiful and historic setting with great comfort and a convenient location. While our stay was very enjoyable, a few inconsistencies in staff hospitality slightly impacted the overall experience.
