It’s appropriate that such a quaint, historic town should boast two boutique hotels.

Hotel Mascotte Remedios Villa Clara Cuba

Hotel E Mascotte Remedios Cuba

Hotel Mascotte is a converted historic old house where José Martí once resided. As a no frills accommodation with warm hospitality Hotel Mascotte hits the spot for all guests. For those interested in architectural details the hotel is the classic Cuban structure and remains in excellent shape despite the passing of time. The rooms facing the square are great for watching people and soaking in the ambience but, especially in the evenings, a few neighboring bars can transmit a quite a bit of noise, nothing to complain about but worth noting if you prefer one of the quieter rooms on the other side.

Hotel Mascotte Remedios

Hotel Mascotte has been called a “gem in the heart of Cuba” and is truly a beauty; old world ambience, well-kept building with high ceilings, antique furniture and wooden windows that open overlooking the town square. The staff are absolutely delectable and could not do enough for us, the service was friendly and unobtrusive. If you are looking for a sense of the real Cuba then the Hotel Mascotte is highly recommend.

Remedios town holds, on December 24, a fireworks festival which has been going strong for over 300 years. If you are in Cuba over Christmas then this is must see event. During this event the city center is filled with mechanized floats, filled the canyons of fireworks, street vendors and carnival rides.

Over all the Hotel Mascotte is beautiful, with high ceilings and recently renovated, its spacious. Rooms have a minibar, large bathroom, and comfortable beds. TV offers an assortment of international channels also.

Breakfast is included in the room rate and is buffet style with an average assortment of breads, fruits and cereals. Eggs are available in any way you choose and are a highlight of the breakfast buffet.

Hotel Mascotte Cuba Remedios

Hotel Mascotte Villa Clara is a great place and well worth the trip. Guests should consider staying for about 3 days if the intention is simply to soak up the city and look around.
