This hotel is being refurbished but it won't make a lot of difference. The dining area is full of flies, there is noise from trains, cockerels, dogs, the street, the kitchens etc. Rooms are very tall but the floor area is the smallest we have ever encountered. The windows are high and have frosted glass. The air conditioning sounds like... More

Interesting period character hotel, good for a one night stopover, built in period style, bedrooms very small and basic but adequate for one night. Lovely outdoor terrace and courtyard. Feels like authentic Cuba. Food very simple but just about adequate. Good location in town centre and near railway station. More

Stayed one night as part of a tour, was nice to stay in a hotel with character. Rooms were small, my husband is 6ft 2ins and had difficulty in the single rickety bed. No room to move around when suitcases were in room but were only sleeping one night. Be aware of the noise of the trains that seem to... More

Stayed 1 night as part of a 14 day tour (UK based - 38 persons). Keywords seem to be quaint, historic, central, the real Cuba, good staff - to which could be added noisy, claustrophobic rooms, indifferent food quality. The central courtyard and bar area is very pleasant. The ambiance created by the building, tiling, woodwork and rather faded decoration... More

We stayed here for 1 night while touring and we really liked the place. It has the feel of an old style mansion with a lovely courtyard and superb woodwork around the bars and reception. The rooms are tiny but were clean and after all they are only for sleeping in.The hotel is centrally located and is ok for 1... More

we were lodged here as part of our 15 day grand tour of Cuba so that there might well be better twin bedded rooms if one books directly. The meals were ok, the beds, as everywhere on our tour -good but the room was very cramped especially with our two rather large bags. Being in the middle of the town... More

On the positive side it is an interesting historic building - collapsing at the back. There is a limited choice of hotels in Camaguey. Bedrooms which are extremely cramped are off corridors with clanking doors very reminicent of Alcatraz- with little or no ventilation, and quite noisy- clamking doors and train noise at 04.00 am. Evening meal was truly awful,... More

Very few hotel choices in the city of Camaguey, but hotel Colon is a good place to stay.This is an old spanish colonial style building with a courtyard in the middle and rooms above on four sides. The bar is one of the oldest in Cuba and Jose the bartender takes pride in making a slow traditional mojito. The rooms... More

Wonderful colonial architecture so well worth visiting for one night - or even just for a cocktail. Cocktails are inexpensive and good. Central courtyard is used for dining but there aren't enough tables for the guests - we started our dinner standing with plates in our hands. Helpful staff and good food, though. Bedrooms are quaint and would have been... More
