this supposedly four star hotel has a lot of handicaps: quite distant from the city center, although some hotels can be even farther (playa district), an old building which obviously has not been rehabilitated (one elevator only is working, everything seems out of age), food served at the buffet restaurant is edible ,but not good.We tried the other hotel restaurant... more

We stayed in this hotel in MAY 2007. I am a little late writing the review. Reception Staff: Maintained a consistent high level of rudeness that is difficult to ignore. Reception: It is quaint and comfortable, but watching the staff drive unsuspecting guests crazy is just irritating. Rooms: We had 2 as the first one was flooded on our first... more

We arrived on the evening of Friday 25th May 2007. We placed all our valuables, wallets and cash in the room safe, which was operated by a swipe card. On the following Sunday, we noticed that a credit card and £60 was missing and immediatley reported it to reception. The manager organised a print out of entires into the room... more

I choose this hotel based on the Tripadvisor reviews but was very disappointed in this place. When we arrived after a long journey from Washington DC after midnight we only wanted to sleep.

We were delayed due to problems with Air France, and arrived late and without luggage. The Hotel Presidente was welcoming, friendly and clean, and had all the necessary toiletry requirements in the huge bathroom. Breakfast was basic but good, and the lounge area was comfy and well air-conditioned.The bedroom was really relaxing; plenty of space to move around, and room... more

We stayed at the Hotel Presidente for a week, and loved it. It rained for most of the week, but hey, we were on our honeymoon, so it really didn't matter. We sat on the wrap-around balcony and were totally sheltered by the rain. We went to the pool bar and stayed out of the rain there too. There was... more

HOTEL PRESIDENTE, VEDADO AND NACIONAL, with Hurricane Ivan. I have stayed in Havana, with my wife and our eight month baby girl, from the eighth till the twenty fourth of September (2004). The beginning wasn´t very good, as three suitcases were stolen from the coach, on the way from Havana José Martí Airport, to the different hotels, everything happened on... more
