April 23, 2023 Alida England

A city trapped in time, Havana captures the imagination like no other. Faded glamour meets careful colonial-era reconstruction with a backdrop of irresistible color. Walk El Malecón, the walkway bordering the ocean; visit Old Havana and the Catedral de San Cristóbal; and listen for salsa music, open-air bazaars and parties that last all night.

Hostal Balcones Muralla

We are a 9 bedroom boutique hotel located in the heart of Old Havana Cuba.

Great hostal, lovely staff!

Reviewed By edotl

Would definitely recommend this hostal! The building is beautiful, breakfast is delicious and best of all the staff are the loveliest of people! We want to thank Sarais and Aramis specifically for being so kind, friendly and helpful to us with all of our questions. They really made our stay here special and are wonderful people! The owner Richard is really welcoming and lovely and was a huge help so big thanks too! Our one piece of general advice would be to make sure you bring lots of cash with you to Cuba! The exchange rate at the ATM here is so bad that you’ll end up paying 4x the price for everything!!

Paseo 206 Boutique Hotel

Gorgeous property and amazing hospitality

Reviewed By EYRIET

Highly recommend Paseo to anyone travelling to Havana. The owners and staff are wonderful and have a "can-do" attitude about anything and everything you may need for your stay - tours, taxis, restaurant reservations, etc. The rooms are gorgeous and perfect for a couple's stay. Bonus - They organize the most incredible jazz evenings on Thursday evenings.

NO SAFE CASA!

We slept in this casa with our family, and found out on our next stay that over €1000 was stolen from our rooms. Then you contact them, but they don't want to help you in any way. We reported it to the police, but save yourself this horrible experience and never stay at this casa!

Reviewed By jaynelmd

Fab location in Habana vieja. Lovely freezing cold room - it was very very hot in August - spotlessly clean, lovely crisp linen, a window, fridge to keep the cold bottled water you can buy there - no need to cart it back from shops, ensuite bathroom, breakfast upstairs on a beautiful balcony with wrought iron railings overlooking the street, delicious breakfast, just round the corner from street vendors wit barrows selling the bets mangoes, avocados and bananas you have ever tasted. At the end of a long day walking about, Carmen was always there with a welcome smile and long glass of cold mango juice. But the BEST part: we had not made any reservations having never been to Cuba before, or S America and we did not want to be stuck to a rigid structure, but we were unsure about transport, internet in Cuba is not very abundant and telephoning expensive from mobiles. So we sat with out map and guideboks, chose the places we wanted to go to and wrote them on a list for Carmen. By the time we had come back from dinner, Carmen had telephoned 'mi amiga' here and 'mi amiga' there and she had boked us up the casas and all the transports in the fantastic cars. We did not have to lift a finger and all the casas she recommended were fab, friendly, clean and helpful. we stayed in total about 10 days going away and returning before the next part of out trip.

Located at the historical center of Old Havana, just at few steps from the Plaza del Cristo and the great Capitolio de la Habana, our B&B Boutique "Dona Isabel" combines the charm of the characteristic B&B in the heart of tradition and the intimacy of a family home. Four beautiful double rooms and one magnificent suite.

The best casa in Havana

Reviewed By Marklondon81

My wife and I have stayed in maybe 8 casas over 5 stays in Havana and this one was by far our favourite. The location is excellent and very central - only a 2 minutes walk from Capitolio and the bustling streets of Obispo and O’Reillys. The casa is run by Omellio and he is helped by Patrica and who made breakfast for us each morning . The breakfast was typical of what you get in Cuba:- a mixture of fruits , bread, ham, cheese and eggs/ omelette . The rooms had high ceilings and were airy and spacious . There was a lovely area to sit out side to relax/ eat breakfast . But the thing we loved most about the casa was Omellio and the two ladies . They were so friendly and welcoming and really made us feel like friends who were staying in their home. Omellio could not have been more helpful when we needed anything - such a lovely man ! When we go back to Cuba we will definitely be staying here - I would recommend it highly to anyone

Amazing!

Reviewed By vaniam621

Great experience! It was the first time we booked a hostal and it was amazing! Staff is awesome! They made our life easy and comfy when for example booked our taxis and received us late at night. They also guaranteed that my eleven years old daughter had chocolate powder in the morning and also added some cupcakes in the breakfast to celebrate my husband anniversary. By the way, the whole breakfast is delicious! Small details that made all the difference. To finalize, location is fantastic. Really close to most of the main attractions in Havana. Highly recommend!

Napper by Rottenberg is a beautiful renovated house in an exclusive area of Havana. This is not the old city - life is quieter here. There are several great restaurants on the main streets. The house is fantastic - the staff wonderful. The rooms are all beautiful - well appointed - great bathrooms - strong WIFI usually. Breakfast was plentiful and good. We stayed here and in the old city - both were great experiences - each unique. Would definitely recommend this house.

We love it, you must stay, Perfect Location for Havana Vieja and the beaches

Reviewed By casaBmajorca

We spent four nights here at the beginnning of our Cuban adventure, and it was the highlight of our 3 weeks. The warmth, friendliness, of Bertica and Fidel is without bounds and his food is incredible. No need to eat out, as you wont get better! We travelled with our 2 children and were extremely comfortable and happy. We arrived as guests and left as family. The location is great if you want to experience the true Cuba, you can e asily catch the bus into Havana Vieja -20p ( A83) and 11 minutes, and the bus to thtsues are pure white sand, blue sea, and great seafood, with hardly any tourists..... Just book and go, and have an fantastic time
