We booked this hotel via Best Western as we could not get a response from the hotel via its web site. As previous reviewers have said, the hotel is gorgeous with a perfect location for visiting Toledo. We had asked for a quiet room but were given a room overlooking the front terraces; luckily this proved not to be noisy!... More

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.

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).

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...

Really interesting hotel, felt like stepping back in time. The room was a good size with a comfortable bed and adequate bathroom. 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
