Inglaterra Hotel, Havana City Cuba. 4 stars.

Average Joe

not bad
The Inglaterra Hotel, founded in 1875 and considered one of the oldest tourist establishments in Cuba, used to be a favorite place for gatherings. The building, located in Old Havana, features a neoclassical style with elements such tiles and railings which were especially brought from Seville, Spain and which give the hotel a touch of originality. Declared a National Monument due to its historic values, the hotel's location - near Paseo del Prado (Prado Promenade) and the Grand Theater of Havana, the venue of the National Ballet of Cuba - turns the establishment into a cultural center par excellence. It is 20 kilometers away from José Martí International Airport.

“Dirty rooms, dirty beds, old, dirty bathrooms ”
Hotel Inglaterra was the worst hotel we have ever seen. We traveled to Cuba with an open mind (expecting shortcomings), arrived late at night and were shocked by the state of the rooms in this hotel. The lobby is magnificent, staff are nice and very helpful however the rooms are small, dirty (cockroaches, mould, dust and stains) and mostly without a window. There is dust absolutely every where! in the rooms, decorations and the corridors. The first room we were given was absolutely terrible, the bathroom was old, The toilet looked as though it was not cleaned for years! tilings were dirty, shower curtain mouldy and the sheets covered with dust and stains. There are no windows in most of the rooms, well there are but either boarded up or very high up without any view or function. We were shown 3 different rooms all of which were in no better condition. Finally a balcony room became available and we spent the night there with the sounds of the air conditioner keeping us up all night. The bathrooms door handles are terribly placed and turn in the wrong direction! I got my fingers trapped between the handle and the door frame several times. The rooms are crowded with furniture, the paint is peeling on the walls and the bathrooms are ancient! I couldn't understand why the hotel manager thinks filling the rooms up with furniture would make the rooms appealing! Each and every room that we were shown had different tilings and fittings in the bathrooms (not with a decorative purpose)! I have nothing against old fashion hotels but the rooms in this hotel are simply dirty, unhygienic, poorly managed and tastelessly decorated. The state of this hotel is not at all any reflection of the country's circumstances, modern facilities do exist in Cuba and there are various other hotels with clean rooms and proper facilities for guests.
