Dropped off by virgin transfer a few blocks away as this hotel is in a pedestrianised area. Taxi driver carried our cases and then asked us for 5 pesos - so carry your own! Reception staff okay, booked in within a few minutes. We did not keep our money in the safe because of previous reviews, instead we carried it... more

We stayed at this hotel last week, in room 505, three down from the famous Hemingway room. We picked the hotel based on the reviews on TripAdvisor. Positives: lovely historic lobby; very central to the old town (walk everywhere); the Hemingway connection (don't stay here just for that though); fairly clean & neat, bathroom OK. Great views from the roof.... more

This hotel was set in the main part of the tourist area of old Havana and is very much on the tourist map as the place where Ernest Hemingway lived for a while, as such, the lobby is very Hemingway orientated and large contingents of tourists appear periodically in the bar to go up to visit his room on the... more

pretty run down... if it were not for the Hemingway connection I doubt this hotel would get any business. The front desk staff are very helpful and lovely and the hotel has a nice lobby. it is in a great location, too. The rooms are disappointing. I stayed in a double room which was two single beds pushed together and... more

Just off of the 500-year old Plaza de Armas, the Ambos Mundos Hotel has one of the best locations in Havana. The street life is great, the harbor is nearby, and restaurants abound. The piano bar is nice and there is usually someone actually playing the piano there. Most of the rooms have one or two French doors that open... more

Following on from the previous review entitled 'Room Theft' we are the other couple that had money go missing from our room safe. The safe was always locked and the key always in our possession. We were told by the hotel management that it was not possible the safe had been broken into and we went to the police. It... more

We stayed at the hotel Ambos Mundos during February 2009 and on more than one occassion had money taken from the security box in the hotel. The Head of Security of Ambos Mundos remained adamant that this could not be the case, but prior to the second occasion we made sure that we knew exactly what amounts of money were... more

The hotel location is fantastic. Everything you need is on your doorstep though if you have a street facing room it can be noisy during the day and early in the morning when they are out cleaning. You can't drive up to the hotel as it is in a pedestrian area which is worth remembering if you have a lot... more

Arrived after a very long but excellent flight with virgin. Reception staff could not do enough with check-in (this was delayed by an hour as prievous guests flight was delayed).Finally shown to our romm which was very tiny with no window, very basic but generally clean. We had a water leak in the bathroom which at three in the morning... more
