Hotel la Union, Affiliated by Meliá

Beautiful facility. Modern rooms and spacious, clean lobby in a building from the beginning of the last century. The facade reminds you that you are in a Cuban village founded by French settlers. The staff i s young, professional and fun . the food is not that abundant but very well prepared. . the buffet breakfast , tropical fruit juice s, delicious It's an ideal for one night.

I loved the food. It was amazing. Also along side the food was the awesome music that really catched my attention at nights on the balcony. The live music of Mr. Juan Carlos and his orchestra made me have good nights at hotel Union. One of his songs that I love is Volare which is originally by Gypsy Kings but Mr. Juan Carlos sings it even better than Gypsy Kings. Listening to his live music along with beer and salty peanuts brought me alot of joy after nice dinner at the hotel on those lovely nights.

Poor breakfast! I am not expecting anything exotic for the place! But local fruits and fruit juices please! Non existant in the 3 Melia hotels I experienced in Cuba during my trip.

I visited the Hotel La Union that night by chance, I was passing through the city and some friends invited me to have some cocktails on the terrace of the Hotel. To my surprise I found some of the best music. There I even took a sals class. Cuban all night dancing. I recommend this place, it was incredible, I had a great time.

Stayed at an Air BnB across the road but the rooftop restaurant was recommended so I went for lunch and then again later for dinner. Spectacular view and since I was the only customer also great service. Food was just ok (deep fried fish sticks with plaintain chips) but quite edible. Very scenic and peaceful.

The hotel is in a beautiful colonial building with gorgeous painted tiles, several courtyards and a pool. It is located right in the city centre. Sadly it seems that most things which could be broken in this hotel is out of action: 1. The lift for this multi-story hotel did not work. I had to drag my luggage several levels up narrow stairs. Apart from the resident masseur Daniel, there were no hotel staff willing to help to elderly (or any) travellers in our group. 2. A safe in my room had no lock, so could not be used. 3. The internet worked only from time to time. 4. There was a slightly tarty pool with a jacuzzi which also does not work. 5. However the worse experience was when in the morning we did not have any water because something else got broken. Sadly we had to leave that morning without this essential facility. My best memory about this hotel however is due to Daniel, the resident masseur at La Union, who is just excellent - very skilled and professional. Highly recommended!
