Hotel E Central Villa Clara

Kam spontan herein, nachdem er den Taxifahrer gebeten hatte, mich vom Busbahnhof zum Parque Vidal zu bringen. Ich wurde herzlich begrüßt und bekam eine Suite zu einem sehr guten Preis angeboten. Ich ergriff bald die Chance und fand mich in einem geräumigen und gut ausgestatteten Raum mit hohen Decken wieder. Das Hotel liegt an der Spitze der Stadt und so zentral wie möglich. Eine Bar und eine Küche sind vor Ort. Es ist ein Vergnügen, auf der vorderen Terrasse mit Blick auf den zentralen Park zu sitzen. Tolles Personal, aber ich wollte keine Zigarren kaufen, die an der Bar angeboten wurden. Kein Bedauern!

Schöner Ort, um einen Nachmittag mit Freunden zu verbringen!! Es liegt zentral im Freien, die Atmosphäre ist angenehm und man kann zu jedem Anlass hingehen und sich über jedes Thema unterhalten. Ich liebte es. Es gibt mehrere Optionen, von Café Beech bis Picadera, es ist eine gute Zeit

A centrally located hotel, with a large welcoming foyer and friendly reception staff. There was a power cut on arrival, so our room wasn't ready and there was no internet until late evening, which was a bit frustrating, but not exactly the fault of the hotel. There seemed to be a problem with the wine, because on ordering a glass, I was told "no", but it turned out it was on another floor and someone had to go and get it. It all turned into a bit of a performance to be honest. The room itself was large and clean, although the shower wasn't particularly good. The air conditioning, once the electricity was back on, was very good. What was very strange were the towels, which seemed old, thin and very, very small. Not suitable at all. This is Cuba though, so you have to take all these quirks in your stride. There were no windows to the outside, just opening out to the inner atrium, which I wasn't quite so keen on. My main gripe was the noise. This hotel just consists of the ground, first and second floors. I was on the second floor, right by the roof top bar. The noise that came from there until around 2 in the morning was unbelievable, and it was impossible to get any sleep. Also, there's no lift in this place, although the staff (when you can find someone to help) will take your luggage up and down the stairs for you. I have to give a special shout out to the receptionist (I'm afraid I don't know her name) because my companion was very challenging and extremely rude to her, and the restaurant staff, unnecessarily. I did apologise, and she shouldn't have had to put up with the way he talked to her. To be honest, I didn't really like Santa Clara, so I'm unlikely to return. But if this hotel managed to iron out the issues that it has, it could be a very good place to stay.
