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

We stayed there for two nights, and it was ok. The room was small, but the beds were good and the bathroom renovated. Helpful staff. 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

Stayed overnight at the end of Jan 2011in a group of 38. We found it a fun place and the group behaved like 'kids' by checking out each others room!. It was refreshing to stay at a place which was different from the impersonal large international hotels experienced previously. We would agree that the rooms are small, and could see... More

We stayed here for a night and liked it. The TripAdvisor reviews are fair, and it depends very much on you whether you like it or not. I quote from the last two reviewers "The colonial architecture, for me, did not make up for its deficiencies as a hotel. The rooms were small ... Any room where I have to... More
