I have been to Havana 5 times but have never stayed at the HL until this time. I wanted to stay mainly because of the history of the place and some pleasant memories I have of hanging out near La Rampa with its many coffee shops and people watching opportunities. The Havana Libre is an old, famous but neglected hotel... more

Every is saying that this is one of the worst hotels ever, and I find this hard to believe. Our room WAS clean, the food at the breakfast buffet was suprisingly good for the food found throughout Havana. Service at the front desk was given without a smile, but who cares. The check in went fast and smooth. This is... more

We stayed in the Tryp Havana Libre for one night as part of an overnight trip to Havana booked through First Choice (accomodation assigned on arrival to Havana). It is listed in the First choice brochure as a 4* hotel which is more than a stretch on the imagination. We were warned by our cuban holiday rep that it was... more

Stayed here for 4 nights (10-14the April) as part of the 'Highlights of Cuba' with First Choice. After reading the reviews and seeing the photographs of the hotel on this site I was worried that the place would be falling apart and dirty. Yes the hotel is in dire need of repair and obviously hasn't been a 5* for many... more

Lovely big room. Quite a good location. Lots of choice of food at breakfast. Lovely big swimmng pool. Close to Bar Sofia (excellent staff & fab live music) Not far from Hotel Nacional de Cuba (well worth a wander) Would stay here again if the price is right. Thought 'Wonder if the balconies have had a H&S check!' more

This is avery good hotel for Havana standards, in a very lively borough (Vedado) full of restaurants and bars (but more authentic Cuba than the old town). We stayed here twice, both on the 21st floor, and the view only is worth paying for it. Rooms are quite a bit worn and dated (all the borough seem to be frozen... more

We stayed three nights here on half board. Room was on 8th floow and the air conditioning did not work. We complained but nothing was done about it, so we had to have the windows open which meant that the noise levels from outside were pretty bad. Bathroom tatty and loo not easy to flush properly! smell in corridors awful.... more

I was really surprised to learn that this is a 5 star hotel. I think it's hardly 3 star hotel. The lobby is impressive and you could see that once this hotel was beautiful. But it was long time ago. Lifts are very fast and I don't think entirely safe. One lift should carry max 10 people and sometimes we... more
