I didn't go to Cuba to stay in a fancy hotel, so this one was fine by me. Nothing is stylish or beautiful about this place, but you have white sandy beaches beneath your feet pretty much the moment you step outside.

My room was OK, I didn't really have any problems. Everything worked and was clean. Street view, but ocean view from the corridor/balcony. Refrigerator in corridor. The breakfast seemed like it was meant for a "better" hotel, 'cause it was actually pretty great. No elevator (get that body movin'!).

I recommend Varadero as a last stop in Cuba, you can't go to this country and just sit on the beach the whole time. You can do that somewhere else instead. Too much history, too much to see and experience in other regions/cities, so get out there and stay in casas particulares. Talk to the locals. Get to know Cuba.

Great location and breakfast buffet!

You just can't get a better location than this hotel - rooms have large balconies overlooking the vast stretches of Varadero beach and the Gulf of Mexico.

The price is great too - we paid $40 CUC for two of us including breakfast. 

Go to the bar, order up a few Cuba Libres, sit on the patio and imagine what the hotel was like in it's heyday. The current state of the hotel is abominable.

As close to the beach as you can get

On central Varadero beach front, and only 2 blocks from Viazul bus station. Our room on 2nd floor ,like all rooms, did not face the beach front, but faced the street behind. There is access to a sitting room and balcony overlooking the beach that is a common room shared with another room. Both the sitting room and balcony, the bed room and bathroom, in fact the entire building, is in a worn, shabby, grungy condition, accompanied by a mildewy, sickening smell. Two 3/4 size beds, dilapidated furnishings, noisy air con, old style fuzzy TV, unpleasant bathroom, all create an overwhelming, depressing feeling. Sitting right on the beach front,  the hotel offers no shade, no umbrellas, no facilities, no lounge chairs- NOTHING! Next door, in front of a vacant property, there are a few lounge chairs and umbrellas to rent for a few CUC. Guess what?....the included breakfast is... UGH!!...luke warm coffee, 2 slices of white bread, greasy omelette, watered down artificial juice, all served with dirty cutlery and plates by snarly staff.
We checked out the equally depressing Dos Mares a little further east which is not on the beach. Far better than either of these would be to check out the couple of pleasant looking casa particulars just down from Viazul bus station on Calle 36. From there it is a one block walk to the beach where one can rent a lounge chair where we did. We wish we had seen them before paying the 42CUC at Herradura.

"EL ULTIMO" in depressing!!

The staff is really unfriendly and not willing to help at all and they just didn't care. 
The room was old and noisy and the bathroom was even worse.
Breakfast was pore, you could choose between sandwich or eggs but sometimes no choice at all and you just got what the waiter was carrying at that moment. 
On my last day I had to leave to hotel at 7.15 AM but it was impossible to get breakfast. Not even a coffee. But I guess you get what you pay for. 

The location is perfect! The hotel is right at the beach and in between Varadero West and East. The sunset view from the shared balcony is amazing.

The only good thing about this hotel is the location

Stayed in this hotel for about 12 hours as we needed somewhere to rest our heads before a long flight. If we had
stayed here for the full duration of our holiday it would have ruined it. The staff were very friendly and helpful
but that's about it. We found the rooms were in a dilapidated state - so much so we had to ask ourselves how
could anybody have the nerve to sell these rooms in this hotel - they are unsaleable. We did not eat at the hotel
but given the state of the rooms we decided not to. We really did feel sorry for anyone staying here for a holiday
and felt it our duty to write a review and warn other potential visitors. We had no argument with staff or management.
The owners of this hotel must know it needs to be knocked down and rebuilt. We don't understand why they do not
do this as the hotel is on a prime site right beside the beach.
