The lobby of the hotel is spacious and beautiful. That's all the positive to tell. Staff was not interested, parking needed to be paid additionally, the rooms were incredibly small, not clean, filled with worn down furniture and noisy (airco and traffic). Unfortunately, there is not much better to get in Camaguey. The Gran Hotel is marginally better. We stayed... More

this hotel is a real experience. Situated on one of the main thoroughfares you enter through quite a small doorway into a magical reception area ,tiny in comparison with a small bar area. You walk along a narrow passageway to find yourself in a delightful courtyard with table and chairs all around and also another bar. Across the way is... More

We spent 2 nights in this hotel. We were lucky to have been given a corner room on the backside of the first floor. This room was not as small as the others (for which we were prepared after reading the Tripadvisor comments). Besides, the hotel is clean, service is good. Breakfast was rather poor, compared to those served in... More

This was a delightful hotel,the only drawback being the very small room,like one of the other reviewers we had problem with the flushing system of the toilet,which we discovered was held together by string, the handyman just tied it up again,problem solved. The eating and drinking areas were very nice,and open. Although only there for one night it was probably... More

I'm glad we stayed here - it was a local hotel with all of the "old Cuba" charm that the big hotels miss. The hotel is "Colonial" with an amazing old fashioned "wooden" reception/bar area. On arrival we got cold towels and a mojito!! Rooms are for the most part located around a central open courtyard and from the first... More

Whilst I have to rate the hotel as poor, in international traveller terms, it is however an absolutely amazing experience, not to be missed if you would like to feel you've had a taste of real Cuba. Indeed, if you've read some of the accounts of travellers to Cuba in the 1880s, you'll feel you are experiencing some of what... More

We stayed just one night at this hotel. It is amazing, situated in the centre of the town, right on the street.Step across the threhold and you enter a time warp. We were greeted with cool refreshing face towels and a welcome cocktail. The service was excellent The rooms are built around an open courtyard where you can relax, have... More

The location of this hotel is excellent and the first impressions are very favourable. The room we had was disappointing. We were expecting a small room so that was OK but the toilet didn't work properly and it was fairly obvious that this was an ongoing problem as when we phoned to say the cistern wasn't refilling after flushing the...

Hotel Colon has a great location in Camaguey and for that alone it is worth staying here. As others have said the rooms are small and the air conditioning noisy, so not for a week long stay, but for one or two nights its adequate. The bathroom door did not close, but of the 8 places we stayed in Cuba... More

This is a very atmospheric old hotel with lovely public areas. Amongst our group the rooms soon became known as 'cells', yes they are tiny. We must have been lucky because our air-con was modern & quiet, bathroom & shower were fine too. The only noise we heard was from the trains that run nearby, the drivers seemed to love... More
