Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Colina

Set on and named for the famous hill occupied by the Universidad de la Habana, the Colina has a down-at-the-heel 1950s-era charm and a drop or two of student (read: revolutionary) chic that seems to attract a predominately French clientele. Rooms are small and humbly furnished, but you can't beat the value for the money and convenient location. There's also a pretty outdoor terrace where you can sit and enjoy a cool drink under the colorful awning.
