I stayed at their other property, the backpacker's hostel, and had a wonderful experience. They are very caring people who want to make sure you get the most out of your stay in Havana! When I arrived Rolando sat down with me to explain a little bit about the area, the currency, the culture, etc. and showed me some maps.... More

Rolando and everyone else at this hostal are very nice and helpfull. I´m definetly staying there again when i hopefully return to Havana. There´s a nice relaxed atmosphere and it is close enough to everything so you can walk around the city.

Until then, stay here. You can meet cool people here, but Rolando was a jerk. I loved most of the Cuban people, but this guy just seemed like he didn't want to deal with us. Your experience may be different, but for my money, the second another backpacker hostel opens up, you'll be better off there.

Recommended to anyone who wishes to stay in Havana on a budget. Centrally located and close to all sites. The owners were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. All were welcoming and a nice breakfast was warmly served. Stayed in September 2010 (not December) and will definitley revisit if Havana bound. Chris and Alex

Rolando y Magaly rent as well rooms in a Casa Particulares. I am a Swiss girl and stayed one week at their house in San Miguel 567, Centro Habana. Very large room in colonial style with a big bedroom and bathroom. The house is approx. 15 min. walk from Parque Central (central square in Havana). The family is very friendly... More

My friend and I stayed at Rolando's for 2 nights and found it to be very comfortable. The food was better than any we ate in a restaurant, and Rolando was so helpful in getting us oriented to the city. I keep referring people to his casa and would stay there again myself when in Havana.
