Casa Rogelio Inchauspi Bastida Guest house
My review: The casa and owners are exceptional. We were in a party of four and had an amazing two bed (probably best described as) suit. It is beautiful, very authentic. There is a large roof terrace with lovely views of the mountains - perfect for evening drinks. In addition there is a small covered seating area with a fridge for you to chill beers etc. (no alcohol can be purchased on the premises but they are happy for you to buy your own). If you are driving there is a reserved space outside the premises with a security camera. We had an accident whilst in Trinidad and the owners went above and beyond to help us and take us to the medical centre. We cannot recommend this casa highly enough and if we were ever in Trinidad again, we would definately stay here. We have very fond memories. Thanks Rogelio and Barbara!
How was your room?: Huge! Very comfortable bed.
How was the food they offer?: We only had breakfast which was typical Cuban - far too much on offer and lovely. We ate in their beautiful dining room.
Other services they offer: Wealth of knowledge and recommendations.

Casa Rogelio
My review: The true Colonial house in Trinidad
We had been staying at Don Rogelio’s casa privada in January and we will always remember the amazing hospitality we found there. We were welcomed with smiles and when we left, we left much happier then we came. Thank you Don Rogelio!
I would highly recommend this house to anyone, who is searching for true colonial atmosphere, likes to stay in special/historical places and is willing to receive free of hassle communication (even on mobile phone in Cuba or internet). Just to add, the house is very central and just 3 min from the Viazul station.
Don Rogelio sent to Viazul station to meet us a person, even though we didn’t ask. Showed his house, gave as the keys, let us use the fridge, if we needed and offered to buy essential things like water/soft drinks/beer from the fridge at net prices. The room was super big, cool, with ventilator and air-conditioning that we never used as the room was always fresh and cool. The room has two super big beds, wardrobes, few tables, private bathroom and small balcony to the inner yard. The room was quiet, cosy (but old style) and we found it very good to rest after marching all the days. The house has access to the terrace on roof with splendid view to all Trinidad and the sea. Better not to go there, as you will be dreaming of it for couple of months later on, as it is happening to us ;)
Don Rogelio and his wife showed us complete hospitality by explaining everything that we needed to know and recommended very nice places to eat. Especially good place to eat was at their daughter’s house, to which we would give 3 star on Michelin basis.
Don Rogelio also gave as a wonderful ride by his old fashioned motorcycle. Ask him to do this for you, you will definitely enjoy it!
We loved the place, and we highly recommend to stay there. Reserve at Don Rogelio’s with confidence and get the pure colonial experience with true Cuban hospitality.
Mindaugas and Raminta
