Very nice place to stay at. Very hot in the room though, with no A/C. Understandable why they don’t have A/C though as would only be used a few weeks a year. The TV was about 20years old and didn’t work so maybe they should update though with some FlatScreens on the wall and do away with those old cupboards. Otherwise all good and awesome Bar/Restaurant etc

Great stay at Historic Hotel
My wife and i had 2 wonderful nights at Cordrona Hotel. We opted to splurge for the King Studio room which was the only room with its own terrace overlooking the lovely back garden. We sat out both nights enjoying the view and a bottle of wine. The staff are young and from all over the world. They all work hard to make the stay exceptional. Thank you Axel, Jonas, and Yun- sorry if the spelling is wrong. The food in the restaurant is delicious and the grassy area and gardens in the back are lovely. And you are staying in a historic landmark! Well worth the effort to get there.

Wish I'd stayed here longer
We stayed at the Cardona for one night in Jan 2025 as part of a longer road trip. When driving up, this hotel can be mistaken for something smaller. But make no mistake, this hotel holds lots of charm and amenities that you don't find in a lot of places. In short, the Cardona has a lot of soul. From the bar, to the restaurant (food is amazing!), the hot tub, and a vegetable and herb garden. The room was also really clean and comfortable. It's truly a wonderful hotel that captures the charms of the area.

Exceptional hotel! Wish we had stayed longer...
Despite our late arrival, the staff graciously offered us access to the hot tub after hours. Check-in was seamless. Our room was wonderfully comfortable, featuring remarkably solid doors that spoke to the historic character of this establishment. Everything about Cardrona Hotel impressed - from the stunning grounds and views to the exceptional restaurant, bakery, and shop. Our only disappointment was having such a short stay - we wished we could have extended our visit beyond one night.

It's a beautiful hotel in a lovely location. I highly recommend it. Would have loved to stay there more than one night. Would love it if there was a fridge and microwave in the room. The food in the bar was amazing, albeit a bit pricey.
