The hotel is excellently sited for sightseeing and walking around old Havana. Unfortunately, our group, of over 10 people were moved from room to room over the course of the week. The hotel told us this was because they were renovating the rooms, but no work was done on the rooms. This caused a lot of hassle, as you can imagine, of packing then unpacking to move rooms. I would also advise you to take care while walking around the old town, as one of our party had a necklace stolen off her neck. It is also a good idea to only use official taxis, with a "taxi" light on the roof of the car, and to find out the tariff to your destination before getting in.

Booked this hotel as part of a 2 centre holiday in the Caribbean, After reading the reviews, and arriving with mixed thoughts I was more than impressed. The room fair to say was small and lacked a window but was comfortable and clean. Tha maid service was excellent and efficient. The Rooftop restaurant was amongst the best visited in Havana, taking into consideration the food in Havana is nothing to speak about in general!, avoid the nice looking restaurant outside with all the bushes, oh it was grim!! The bar downstairs was very relaxing and welcoming, and the Mojito did the trick, overall I was well impressed with this wee gem right in the heart of the old town, and should I return to Havana I shall most certainly stay at Ambos Mundos

4/4 found this review helpful

Hotel Ambos Mundos has a great location - Old Havana at your door step. The buffet breakfast was generally good, especially as one was able to watch the sunrise over Havana and hear the city come alive. Watching street vendors at night time from the balcony is something that I will always remember.

The Hotel staff though were not ideal - Cuba underwent daylight savings when we were there and the Hotel failed to inform guest of this time change, thus leaving many stranded as tours were missed as well as flights! Staff were slow to answer questions and we felt that we had imposed ourselves onto them. The rooms were very basic and the hot water non-existent. Price you pay is rather expensive compared to other hotels in Old Havana to the value that we got.

Recommendation - try a boutique hotel instead, much more personal and friendly!

3/3 found this review helpful

Despite all the reviews we had read this hotel was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful and the triple family room more than adequate - All round a good stay (especially by cuban standards) Breakfast was very good, especially the fresh mangos.
