Crónicas de Holguin
Holguin, founded in 1523, is a colonial city with a rich history dating back to the Spanish era. The city's architecture reflects its past, with a mix of colonial and Art Deco styles, particularly in the historic centre. The city's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its Afro-Cuban heritage, visible in its vibrant arts scene and traditional music. Holguin is often called the 'City of Three Cultures' due to its blend of Spanish, African, and indigenous influences. Today, the city is a UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to mi casa, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floor (3rd or 4th), away from the street-facing side. These rooms get less foot-traffic noise from the lobby and the street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground and first floors, especially those near the lobby, stairs, or any service entrance — the 3-star rating suggests thin walls and limited soundproofing. Also skip rooms directly above the bar or kitchen if one exists.
Best views
Ask for a higher-floor room facing the back or courtyard — you'll get less street noise and maybe a glimpse of the city skyline or a garden.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 should be quieter, as they are above the main common areas and traffic.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Holguín's main roads can be an issue, especially on lower floors. Also, internal noise from the lobby, nearby restaurant or bar may carry at night.
Insider tips
1. Check in early to secure a quiet top-floor room — request this when booking. 2. If you're sensitive to noise, bring earplugs; the hotel doesn't supply them and walls are thin.
- 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
