TripAdvisor Traveler Rating
This hotel is great. The best the Mike coffee. We enjoyed the peace and security here.
Alex G on Nov 30, 2025
We’ve been at this hotel for 5 days and it was great. The hotel is beautiful and peaceful. The staff is excellent, everyone is friendly and polite, they made our days better. Our room was pretty and very comfortable. We had a bathtub and a shower, very comfy , also we had a security box , that was great because we cared important documents, so we felt safer. The clean lady kept our room glowing all time, and she was very polite. The lobby is very cozy and beautiful. The service at the hotel is great. The Mike Coffe was so relaxing and had such a great climax, we enjoyed our afternoon there, and the attention the best. We are returning next year.
VALENTIN EL PATRIARCA BAD
abena g (Toronto, Canada) on Nov 28, 2025
Valentin El Patriarca is absolutely the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. We returned on Monday, November 24th, and while every guest we met was amazing and patient, the hotel itself is something I cannot recommend to anyone. I’ve been to Cuba many times—Grand Aston, Roc Arenas, Selectum, and others—and Valentin (El Patriarca has been the worst experience by far.) Customer Service: Most of the customer service was terrible. You could clearly see how frustrated the staff were, to the point that many avoided looking at you. The only exception was the bar staff. The nighttime bar manager—a tall Black gentleman whose name I didn’t get—was excellent. All the bar staff were kind, accommodating, and truly wonderful. But beyond that, service was inconsistent and disappointing. Rooms, Facilities & General Issues: I wasn’t the only one experiencing problems. I witnessed many guests getting frustrated as well—everyone seemed to have an issue. Whether it was something in the room, lights not working, doors not closing properly, or basic things missing, everything felt wrong in that place. On top of that, my own experience included: Room keys not working Doors not locking Getting locked out of the room multiple times No toilet paper No hot water Rooms not properly cleaned Extremely long wait times just to receive a room The hotel feels neglected, run-down, and poorly managed. The staff frustration only added to the overall negative atmosphere. I don’t care if they promote an “elegance” section—none of it is worth the money if basic services fail. Food: The food is ok, and I tried my best to enjoy the trip, but the overall experience was still the worst I’ve had in Cuba. I felt like I spent the entire trip complaining because something was always going wrong. This is nowhere near a five-star experience or two star. Maybe the Alegance side offers better service, but that shouldn’t matter—every paying guest deserves decent service. Bottom Line: Do not waste your money. This place truly sucks. Take my word for it—don’t go there.
