We reserved online at the hotel website 5 months in advance, confirming a "double confort" room with "demi pension" (breakfast and either lunch or dinner) at 178 E, with parking and breakfast extra. When we arrived on Tuesday, we were told that the restaurant was closed that day. We upgraded our room from a small street view to one of... More

My wife and I stayed in the lovely Hotel after coming from Bordeaux. First let me put the comments about Maria to bed. Maria was kind, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. There are always grumpy people in the world, Maria is certainly not one of them. The Hotel has excellent location right at the top of the town off a roundabout... More

And the staff is helpful. Rooms are quite small, but considering the age of the town I suppose that is to be expected. Lovely garden with a charming pool. Not many lodging options in St Emilion but this one is worth considering

Stayed at the Palais Cardinal in early September. Maybe we were lucky but a great time of year to visit Saint Emilion. We had great weather and missing August seemed to reduce the crowds. Although the biggest numbers visiting the town seem to arrive by bus for day tours. The hotel is perfectly located, easily found and was welcoming when... More

We had a great stay. The room was small but sufficient for our needs. The bathroom was very clean. We thought this was excellent value in a pleasant hotel. The garden was nice as was the pool. I loved their garage which was especially useful for protecting my car laden down with wine and for keeping it out of the... More

She proposed us the parking and the dinner which was fabuleuse. The hôtel... More

Tiny rooms and poor service, especially from Manager/receptionist Maria who apparently is in the wrong business. She is disrespectful and argues openly with customers. Location is the only thing that saves this hotel from closing.

i stayed in the suite here. it was very spacious, the bathroom very modern and clean and the little patio was a great sun trap. i thought the price for st. emilion at the height of summer was very good. i didnt eat here but i did spend some time by the pool. all in all a very nice hotel.... More

Hi. We want to leave a recommendation for the very beautiful Hotel Palais Cardinal. We stopped in Saint Emilion for one night and haven't anything booked. So we had to find a room for one night and checked with different places. The Hotel Palais Cardinal is not only located perfectly in town, they offered a room very reasonably priced and... More
