“Quirky hotel giving the real taste of Cuba”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

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 or 2 nights. Any longer and the very small rooms could become an issue. The food was ok although the choice was a little limited. The dining room was being refurbished so the reception area was being used which meant that they could only cope with one tour group at a time. The French group following us had to hang around until we moved out before they could find seats for dinner. A bit noisy overnight with railway trains and roosters vying with each other noisewise. The service on arrival and in the restaurant was fine.

Room Tip: Spend as little time as possible in the room. Get out and about and enjoy the quirkiness of the plac...

“Attractive foyer, cramped rooms around the courtyard.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

person found this review helpful

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 we found it ideal for exploring.

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.

“The Acatraz of Cuba”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

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, with only two restaurant staff, so service was very slow. Breakfast was just about acceptable.

Room Tip: Camaguey was interesing with convoluted streets, but this is supposed to be one of the best hotels...

“Great Colonial Courtyard Bar at this hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011
4
people found this review helpful

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 are clean; airconditioned and with CNN and Espn on tv.Not much of a restaurant;internet access half a block away. Staff are friendly and helpful.
