The location of this hotel was excellent - the views we breathtaking, especially during breakfast and at sunset.  The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Wish we'd had more time here.

Undoubtedly the best bit was the view. We would have preferred not to have 'My, my Delilah' belting out in the evening but that wasn't the sort of thing we were therefore and others may have been. Breakfast was good. We had dinner in the place down the road recommended by the porter which we liked. We were able, in the hotel reception, to book a guided tour starting from Vinales.

This is a decent place to stay with great views, if a little way outside the town - easier going to eat walking downhill than coming back up. The breakfast was OK, but we would strongly advise not eating in the restaurant in the evening - the worst meal on the trip.

La Ermita has a fantastic location with great views over the valley. It is still very much a state-run hotel with staff unfortunately showing minimal interest in customer needs.Our room lacked a toilet seat on arrival, and after insitence with the front desk, one duly arrived, clearly taken from another room! Cuban hotel staff have yet to be trained on how to run a buffet, that is keeping dishes regularly replenished for a satisfactory breakfast experience, otherwise you end up waiting around for food to appear!

"We enjoyed the location of this hotel, and the balconies attached to the rooms. Although the accommodation was basic, it was adequate, and the air conditioning worked well. The food in the restaurant was good, and the view from the terrace absolutely stunning."

"Surpassed expectations - we hadn't been expecting much but the view was stunning, the rooms clean and the beds ok. Breakfast was fine, staff a little off-hand and the pool a little unappealing but actually it was fine."
