The architecture and history of the building was spectacular. Along with the vintage furnishings and the rooftop view, the friendly and informative staff make this an excellent choice to stay in Cienfuegos.

This place is a real gem and good value for the money. Built in the art deco style of the past century, it affords some real glimpses of Cuba's former high life. The breakfasts were very good and the staff was exceptionally friendly. The rooms are very large with a bathroom almost as big! The fixtures in the bathroom were phenomenal period pieces. There is a fantastic rooftop which is accessed by a series of stairs and they are worth climbing to see the incredible views. Cienfuegos was a delightful city and the hotel is in the center of the city. This hotel is a must visit! You will enjoy your stay as we did.

Cienfuegos was not a pleasant experience for us. It didn’t offer anything particularly exciting. The hotel itself was impressive but it felt unwelcoming, soulless and empty. We couldn’t wait to leave.

Great stay in Cienfuegos

It is a very nice hotel in a historical building very close to the main attraction. They serve great breakfast, fresh eggs, natural juice etc. Staff is really friendly and helpful.

+ Beautiful building!! Staying in a real, fully decorated palacio with very high ceilings. + Friendly lady at breakfast. Also helped us to book a taxi. - Rooms were not cleaned during our stay (2 nights). Also, no fridge and power sockets hanging out of the wall in the room. - Little explanation (even when asked) about what you can do in and around Cienfuegos. We decided to go on the suggested Flamingo tour, but the park was closed when we arrived.

Absolutely stunning property with comfortable and clean rooms. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Walkable to all the main areas of town and the staff helped us set up tours to local areas of interest such as El Nicho and Trinidad (which we did in one day and returned to Cienfuego - would recommend this). A must stay place in Cuba

The property is stunning, high ceilings, frescos, arches and columns. The furniture matches the property, it's a joy everywhere you look. Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. They speak excellent English and there's someone there 24 hours. Breakfast was fresh and tasty, eggcellent omelettes. It's a very small boutique hotel that's a block over from the main square. The road isn't noisy but it's 'lived in' so there are comings and goings as you would expect from somewhere where people live and work. Nights were quiet. I liked feeling I was experiencing a little bit of day tonday Cuban life.

Gorgeous old house. It’s incredible how welt kept it is. It’s just pretty and you feel like you’re teleported into the past. It’s obviously lacking the feeling of modern and new facilities but this is the reason you choose to stay there anyway. Fantastic breakfast. They were so kind and helpful - showed us the terrace and gave us tips about our trip around. They also have a generator so you won’t run out or electricity and hot water probably. Definitely recommendable!

Very disappointing

There is no trace of the magnificent environment seen in the pictures. The rooms smell musty. My pillow smelled at night. Breakfast was a disaster. There was almost nothing there. Really our stay was a disappointment. We booked this hotel thinking it was one of the good hotels in the city. While our friends were staying in a much cheaper hotel, we chose this hotel based on the pictures. Our friends' hotel was many times better. Very disappointing

We had a wonderful experience! The staff and the attention was excellent. The only area that needs improvement is the quality of the restaurant’s food and the prices which are extremely high in comparison with the food’s current prices in other restaurants that provide excellent quality around the area.
