What it lacks in the opulence and modern amenities found in the seaside resort hotels it more than makes up with bags of character and it's superb location.
The lobby area certainly evokes the colonial period, whilst the bar area is a riot of over-the-top decoration not dissimilar to a London Gin Palace of the Victorian era.
Due to the age of the build, the bedrooms sometime lack the polish of more modern places, but the plumbing and air-conditioning works well (at least by Cuban standards)
The rooftop bar is a great place to relax, and they sometime put on dancing and serve cocktails the equal of anywhere on the Island.
The cafe area on the front of the hotel is also a great place to watch the world go by, although true to colonial times (and some may have a problem with this) Cuban nationals are clearly unwelcome.
