Great location, and the staff was quite lovely. The room and hotel are as good as you could expect them to be in a small town as Cien Fuegos.

The property is stunning, high ceilings, frescos, arches and columns. The furniture matches the property, it's a joy everywhere you look. Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. They speak excellent English and there's someone there 24 hours. Breakfast was fresh and tasty, eggcellent omelettes. It's a very small boutique hotel that's a block over from the main square. The road isn't noisy but it's 'lived in' so there are comings and goings as you would expect from somewhere where people live and work. Nights were quiet. I liked feeling I was experiencing a little bit of day tonday Cuban life.

Absolutely stunning property with comfortable and clean rooms. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Walkable to all the main areas of town and the staff helped us set up tours to local areas of interest such as El Nicho and Trinidad (which we did in one day and returned to Cienfuego - would recommend this). A must stay place in Cuba

Gorgeous old house. It’s incredible how welt kept it is. It’s just pretty and you feel like you’re teleported into the past. It’s obviously lacking the feeling of modern and new facilities but this is the reason you choose to stay there anyway. Fantastic breakfast. They were so kind and helpful - showed us the terrace and gave us tips about our trip around. They also have a generator so you won’t run out or electricity and hot water probably. Definitely recommendable!

We had a wonderful experience! The staff and the attention was excellent. The only area that needs improvement is the quality of the restaurant’s food and the prices which are extremely high in comparison with the food’s current prices in other restaurants that provide excellent quality around the area.

This property was brilliant - fully old colonial style, fantastic rooms. We felt quite royal being able to spend time here. Staff were excellent, serviced well, polite, and almost all spoke English (which is rare in Cuba). The hotel had a VPN built in to its WiFI, which was brilliant, which we also never experienced before. We also had the best breakfast ever. Overall - vey happy !!!!

Beautiful little hotel
Absolutely beautiful building. Great attentive staff. Very comfortable pillows and mattress. Rooms were clean on arrival but had to pay for further room service and I was there three nights. I've dropped a star because I think the room was a little over priced, esp combined with the fact you have to pay for your room to be cleaned. WiFi was brilliant though, well when there was no blackout (which cannot be helped by anyone), no disconnecting like a lot of places I've stayed and didn't block me from doing every day admin. Front door was kept locked, so great for security.

Hotel Baron is worth it if you want to experience staying at a beautiful colonial building. The service is good and people are helpful, although breakfast was a bit disappointing. The price is comparatively high, given that you don’t me never get a better experience than in many casas particulares, but worth a night stay if you value the aesthetics of the building.

This is a beautiful property with enormous rooms and very good decoration. The bathrooms are huge and spotless, with nice touches. Best bathroom of our 2 week stay. There is both aircon and a good fan. The internal area offers a place to sit, as does the large formal dining/lounge room. Nice breakfast included. Javier and the team looked after us very well, and he speaks very good English, so can help you. You need to be aware of some street noise, mainly on a Friday/Saturday night. This comes from various bars and from some motorcycles. You won't hear it over the aircon/fan too much. Also, the power cuts make it difficult for everyone. Check the restuarant/bar has a generator - most do. The casa is located close to the beautiful square and a craft market, which fills with tourist buses each day and empties around 5.00 pm. But there is also local street life, with some bars that have music and a little port area nearby - at the bottom of the road where the craft market is. Power cuts were an inconveiniece, but the Palacio has a generator. Nice breakfast. If you like walking around (without too much hassle) then the Punta Gorda peninsular, just beyond the port, is a great place to walk 2-3 miles out and back. Good sunsets. One of the best things to do from there is visit the Niche waterfalls. Great experience. Javier can tell you about it, as we offered him and a friend a ride there on our way to Trinidad. Enjoy!

The room (e.g. the bathroom) was really clean, but the entire hostal is over 100 years old. It is true that it was kept in a good condition (the furniture were super old school), however sleeping in a 100 year old bed and room wasn't the coolest feeling in our trip. The room had a smell of old stuff which made us feel suffocating after a couple of minutes of staying inside. I was happy not to sleep more than one night in that room... the breakfast was nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful though. The location to reach the city was also perfect!
