Our take
Few hotels in Rouen sit closer to Notre-Dame Cathedral than the Hôtel Cardinal, just steps away. Rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed with city views, family rooms are available, and the continental buffet breakfast includes gluten-free options. There is also a lift and a terrace. A score of 8.1 from about 250 reviews is good. I would choose it for a weekend focused on Rouen's medieval centre.
- ✓Take advantage of the central location to explore the Notre-Dame Cathedral at different times of day.
- ✓Consider booking a room with a city view to fully appreciate Rouen's historic architecture.
- ✓Enjoy the continental breakfast, especially if you have dietary needs, as gluten-free options are available.
