El hotel estuvo bien. Los empleados del salon comedor perdidos, lentos, y a todo le ponian un "pero tiene cargo adiccional". De los 6 dias, al final fue que los vì mas relajados. El menu de desayuno muy limitado. El area de la piscina necesita limpieza y mantenimiento. Los tragos del bar no sirven (para el precio). La localizacion buena, si te gusta el bullicio hasta las 4am (todos los dias). Walking distance de todo. Si usas Uber o Transportacion privada, cuidado, la calle frente al hotel siempre esta cerrada. Tienes q moverte para accesar transporte. Los taxi amarillos y los blancos (turisticos) econòmicos. Pero ojo. Sigue la ruta con google maps, xq sino cojen el camino mas largo para cobrar mas. Si t gustan los mojitos, Bar El Toto en Getzemanì (fuera de la muralla). Y Bar La Juma (dentro de la muralla). Salsa gorda Donde Fidel (parque de los dulces). Comida barata y riquisima, Espiritu Santo (frente Universidad). Shopping ve al antigua Plaza de Toros. Recomendacion. Catamaran para ver el atardecer.

I stayed in the Hotel Santa Catalina as a part of a group trip, and extended my trip after the group left. I felt very safe in the hotel at all times. The rooftop bar is a vibe, very relaxing during the day with good music, drinks, and food in the evening. All of the staff are very pleasant and accommodating. I would book the Hotel Santa Catalina again.

Pool was unavailable due to private party and this is the 2nd time this has occurred. The same thing happened on a previous trip. To make matters worse, our room was directly beneath the pool bar area. They began their party preparations at 5am and it was impossible to sleep due to the noise. Fortunately, they moved us to a different room the next day. I like this property but if they continue to block the pool area for weddings or other private events, they should stop advertising that the property has a pool.
