Karen's Review Of This Property:
The Hostal del Cardenal, a former archbishop’s summer home, is an absolute jewel. As an added bonus, it has a great location—on the northern edge of Toledo, with an entrance between the Puerta de Bisagra (the city’s main gate) and the escalator that takes you up the hillside into the old town. Your introduction to the small hotel is through a dramatic 11th-century wall and into an enchanting garden with a reflecting pool. Climb the stairs on the right to reach the tiny foyer of the hotel. The stairway, the patio with its lovely fountain, and the cozy sitting rooms embellished with antiques all reflect the hotel’s 18th-century heritage. The delightful guestrooms seem to blend into a tasteful whole. The rooms provide modern comfort with an unbeatable ambiance of past centuries. The breakfast room serves a delicious buffet breakfast. For dinner, consider the hotel’s restaurant. Meals are served on the patios bounded by the ancient city walls, or inside in cold weather. The kitchen serves Castilian specialties such as suckling pig. The Hostal del Cardenal has a natural grace and authentic old-world charm frequently lacking in more deluxe hotels. With its gardens, excellent management, and lovely ambiance, this is definitely the finest place to stay in Toledo (and the price is good for value received).
