Rijo-Plaza-Don Florencio

Sancti Spiritus

This blue and white painted small hotel is set in a pretty plaza.

We were shown 2 rooms . The first was located on the ground floor, an adapted room, which was large and high ceilinged but had no windows, but we were told would be quiet. Then onto view the second room. This was a Suite really, which was gorgeous, with windows but which overlooked the busy and noisy street below. We chose the quiet one on the ground floor.

Although gloomy with no windows or bedside lights, the room had good AC and a safe but no key could be found for it (!) so all our goods and chattels had to be kept in our luggage - not ideal. Sadly, yet another Casa that did not have wifi - I’m not sure how these places manage to run their businesses without it. 

There are pretty patios on the ground floor (where breakfast is taken), and upstairs seating areas overlooking the patio below.

Breakfast was a paltry affair with dire tasting coffee.

This is an attractive looking hotel and it could be outstanding with some small improvements - and maybe we should have chosen the more attractive suite and risked the street noise.

Disappointing 

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the accommodation as it doesn't look much from the outside.  However, the room was spacious and full of character whilst having all the amenities you'd require.  The staff were very efficient and friendly and the hotel is in a good, central location.  The breakfast was served to the table rather than a buffet but there was a good choice and very tasty!

Full of character

After a long tour in Sancti Spiritus we arrived at this hotel where we were very well received. The climb of the stairs was quite rough with our suitcases loaded with great souvenirs.

Very nice hotel.

On arrival, despite having a confirmed reservation, the hotel claimed they were full and proposed to relocate myself and some travelling companions, to another property.  After a series of phone calls to the local rep of our booking agent, the hotel said they would make ready 3 rooms.  This they did, although the rooms were the poorest in the hotel, at street level across from the local late-night music venue.  These were still better than the alternative proposed, so we accepted.  The reasons for this are now bering pursued with our travel company and I await an explanation.
The hotel itself is pleasant, the location convenient and lunch and breakfast were satisfactory.

Booking irregularities

A beautiful hotel in a colonial palace, very well maintained, in a fairly lively town, with a beautiful church, a beautiful main square, but above all a hotel with a courteous and affectionate staff. Unforgettable their help to save a kitten caught in the river and destined for a bad end.

A warm welcome

The staff is very friendly, and it is one of the best places I have slept in Cuba, the shower with hot water and the super nice bathroom.The food was also rich.The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were large.

It's cute.

Beautiful hostel located in an old colonial house in the center of town. The rooms are very spacious with air conditioning and decorated according to the colonial style. The hostel has a restaurant with very good cuisine and economical price. The only drawback when encountering the hotel is that our room was on the square and on the weekends when we stayed there, it was difficult to reconcile the dream because the music house is next to the hostel.

A place with charm.

It is a colonial hostel, very well cared for, with a keen attention, quality of service, cozy, spacious and very comfortable rooms make you feel at home, it is a place you want to repeat, near the boulevard, the varied and tasty breakfast, the felicito, because it is a very good decision to go to your hostel.

A very good decision.

We had a great lunch on the terrace in front of the hotel.  We ordered just a sandwich, but it was one of the best we had in Cuba.  About the rooms I can't tell anything because I stay always in casas when I am in Cuba!  Because they offer much better value!!

Lunch.

The del Rijo is a former home, turned hotel. A wonderful fountain in the center of the building with rocking chairs on each floor to relax. Our room had a modern bath with nice toiletries, a roomy shower. The bedroom, tucked away in a corner of the house was large, but there were no windows, which was probably good because others in our group complained of noise coming up from the ground floor. The room was clean and comfortable.
