Hotel is extremely dirty and run down.Rooms had dirt all around the edges of the floor and lots of hairs rolling about! Staff were very rude and unhelpful. They were only interested in helping you if it meant they could make some extra money through side effects. Its location is about the only things its got going for it! more

I have never on my travels stayed in such a tired and worn out hotel, my room was dirty with hairs on the floor and in the bathroom. The basin was hanging at an angle which meant that I had to remove the water with my hand and I rarely had the luxury of hot water. I agree with the... more

the rooms are very tired and this contributes to the feeling of uncleaniless. breakfast is full supply but the shabbiness puts you off eating there. The food in the bar is good unfortuntely only discovered at lunch time the day we were leaving. more

We stayed two nights here as part of a tour. The staff are bored and simply don't care, the A/C didn't work, the lights worked sometimes, the shower head was like a hose and the room's safe was broken. If it hadn't been part of the tour we wouldn't have stayed a second night. On a positive side, the bar/cafe... more

Hotel Colina is a budget hotel with all the simple basics you need for a stay in Havana. The rooms are clean and bright, with air conditioning, and the bathrooms simple but sufficient. Cuban bathrooms (except in luxury hotels) are rarely anything to write home about, with little water pressure and varying amounts of hot water, and the Colina is... more

I went to Havana two years ago (last February) for a month and again last February for three weeks to study Spanish at the University. Both times I stayed at the Colina, although I have usually stayed at much grander properties. Although the first time I was quite nervous at a 2 star in Havana, I went with the mindset... more

Due to the unavailability of the nearby Hotel Vedado I tried the Colina, now part of the Islazul chain, for a one night stay in the Cuban capital.. It is a basic 2* hotel in the Vedado area of the city, not far from the Hotel Nacional de Cuba, the Havana Libre and Calle 23 shopping district. Check in was... more

I stayed here for two weeks while studying Spanish at the University of Havana (across the street from the hotel). Having been to Cuba many times before, I realized not to expect anything from a two-star hotel -- and my expectations were realized. The hotel, while well-located (near the university and close to La Rampa), was dismal. The staff tried... more

I actually stayed here in October of 1996 for an official visit with the University of Havana. Since U.S. Tresaury Department rules stated that you cannot spend more than $100 a day total for authorized travel to Cuba, I didn't have all that much in the way of choices for lodging. For me, the great part was that it was... more
