We were impressed by the favourable reviews of Conde de Villanueva on this site, and comments in the Lonely Planet guide to Cuba, and so booked and paid for a mini-suite weeks in advance of our trip to Havana. When we arrived, the person at reception tried to fob us off with room #7, which doesn't even have a window.... more

A small and charming hotel in La Havana, located perfectly in La Havana Vieja where you will probably spend most of your time. The hotel is such a typical Cuban house that tourists enter to visit it! Clean, nice breakfast... only down points: - air conditioning was not working in our room but it did not spoil our stay at... more

A great hotel lovely spacious rooms, clean comfortable and in a fantastic location just off plaza vieja in old havana. The breakfast was the nicest i came across in cuba. The lunch was also lovely and 7 cucs for starter main and dessert and a beer. Towels changed everyday and room cleaned daily. The only negative of the room is... more

Stayed here for 8 nights and loved every minute of it, excellent rooms, wonderful staff and the best cigar store in Havana. When we arrived the receptionist aplogised and told us we had a room with no window but offered to move us the very next morning. However room 7 was wonderful, clean, comfortable, great bathroom amd so quiet for... more

We spent the last night of our holiday in Cuba here and so I splashed out and booked a mini suite, which turned out to be enormous (an extensive bathroom plus enormous bedroom) and 3 balconies. Unfortunately, because of the heat we had to keep the shutters drawn all the time. The bed was huge and comfortable. Although the service... more

This hotel is recommended on Lonely Planet and I don't know why! Yes the courtyard is beautiful and it's at a great location. The breakfast wasn't particularly amazing, and the rooms were just odd. I was freezing all night, then turned off the air and was baking. And there's a bath but no standing showerhead, you have to sit in... more

This was a fabulous little hotel in Habana Vieja, the rooms were welcomingly air conditioned in the 35degree heat!! We stayed in Room 9. Slight issues were the fact that the shower had no doors and the shower itself did not hang up so you had to hold it above you. There was also a slight smell of drains in... more

A friend and I stayed in Varadero for a week and wanted to see Havana, and prior to our visit to Cuba we researched Hotels around the Old Havana area and decided to select this hotel, and very glad we did. Also note that we chose one of the 2 or 3 suites of the approximately 10 rooms in the... more

A restored 19th century merchant's house, full of history. You walk out of the double doors into the centre of Old Havana; but the hotel is remarkably quiet despite all that. The Conde is a small hotel, with only nine rooms. The rooms give on to an airy courtyard, full of tropical plants and a wandering peacock, who will take... more
