La proprietà — Casa Maydelis
Casa Maydelis is a simple, family-run guesthouse in a quiet residential street of Holguín. The lobby is a tiled, open-air courtyard with a few armchairs and the smell of fresh coffee from the tiny kitchen. It appeals to budget travellers who want authentic homestay hospitality over hotel amenities, and who are happy to walk 15 minutes to the centre. The USP is the personal service: the owners genuinely know the city and will help you sort taxis, tips and directions.
Cronache di Holguin
Holguín was founded in 1523 by Spanish captain Francisco García Holguín, earning it the nickname 'City of the Parks' for its many plazas. Its colonial core grew slowly around the church of San Isidoro, but the 18th-century sugar boom brought handsome neoclassical facades that still line Calle Manduley. Today it is a relaxed university city of 350,000, known for its polite pace and as a launchpad for tourists heading to Guardalavaca beaches. Contemporary cultural identity mixes traditional trova guitar music with a vibrant art scene centred on the Casa de la Trova and provincial galleries.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Holguin →I migliori mesi
December to February offer clear skies and temperatures around 26°C, with minimal rain and very manageable crowds before the Christmas peak clears.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak domestic tourist months due to school holidays; hotel prices rise 15–20%. The main event is the Fiestas de la Loma de la Cruz (first week of May), a colourful street carnival that fills the city.
Stagione di spalla
April–May and October–November give lower rates, still warm days, and notably fewer visitors. The risk of a short downpour is higher in May, but it usually passes quickly.
Meteo e imballaggio
Holguín is hotter and more humid than the coast, with July afternoons often hitting 32°C and a burst of afternoon rain. Pack a lightweight rain jacket and always carry a refillable water bottle for a city walk.
Briefing della città — Holguin
- The long-awaited renovation of the Calixto García park has finished, but the benches are still being installed — expect some construction dust in the central square.
- The new inter-municipal bus from Holguín to Guardalavaca now runs three times daily from the Viazul stop on Avenida Libertad, cutting taxi costs considerably.
- Sporadic fuel shortages have affected long-distance colectivo taxis; book shared rides at least a day ahead through your host.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa Maydelis, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a mid-floor room on the courtyard side (away from the street). The second or third floor offers a good compromise between lift noise above and street noise below, with better ventilation and natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception or breakfast area — they pick up lobby chatter and early morning clatter. Also skip top-floor rooms directly under a flat roof, which can get hot and suffer from water seepage in heavy rain.
Best views
The address 'Holguin' is the city itself — no specific street given. Best guess: rooms on the upper floors facing east (morning light) or away from main roads. No guaranteed views, but higher floors see rooftops and distant hills.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest, assuming the lift doesn't run right past them. Rooms away from the lift shaft are best.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from motorbikes and taxis is common on any main road in Holguin. The hotel likely sits on a central avenue given its 3-star rating. Also listen for late-night revellers coming back from bars — Holguin has a lively nightlife.
Insider tips
1. Check in early to choose your room — ask to see two options before deciding. 2. If windows are single-glazed, bring earplugs; if there's a small balcony, it may be worth requesting for drying swimwear or just sitting out.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
