The property is in the main square, so is in a perfect location. Walkable to all places of interest and restaurants/bars. The room was not bad. Bathrooms needs slight attention. The rooms could do with a bit more lighting. If you have a room facing the square, you will have a nice view, but you will encounter traffic noise and fumes, as the rooms have large shutters and no windows. Breakfast is nice, and the staff are very friendly and pleasant.

This hotel is beautiful! Located on a quiet, shady square, across the street from the Apothecary Museum (in complete seriousness don't miss it), close to a couple of good restaurants and has street parking and working wifi in the lobby. The period furnishings, high ceilings and original tiles make this hotel feel like you're stepping back in time. The receptionists were helpful and kind. We were able to get late check-out which made it the perfect place to visit the beaches. A great place to come back to after a day of snorkeling at Playa Coral and enjoying the beaches at Varadero.

Old property in the main square. I did an official site seeing tour of the city and found this hotel was one of the places visited. Excellent public area and restaurant. Breakfast and dinner were both very good and the staff were very helpful. The room was acceptable but rather small and had no direct light ie no window.

A fabulous restoration from turn of the century, worth the visit. Invest in the junior suite, the standard rooms are small with no windows or balcony. A large suite with balcony on the square is well worth the difference in price.

Great colonial style hotel.
The hotel is a blast from the past. Great location in centre of town. Spanish colonial style. terrific airy public areas. Rooms are not large but are adequate. No views form most rooms but nice views form first floor veranda accessible by guests. Cool breezes throughout but rooms anyway have adequate air conditioning. Good coffee. Wifi with Etecsa cards available in public areas. Must be best place to stay in Matanzas.

Hotel a conseiller pour un court sejour a Matanzas
Je n'ai fait qu'une nuit le temps d'une escale. L'etablissement est confortable et propre et le personnel est super : a notre service, la pour aider, poli et souriant. Hotel bien situé au centre de Matanzas mais un peu bruyant.

Bon service. Petit dejeuner continental correct. Chambre spacieuse et propre. Attention beaucoup de bruit si vous avez la chambre qui donne sur la rue. Isolation phonique inexistente. Parfais pour une ou deux nuit a matanza
