I based my stay here on the reviews I had seen on this site and they didn't let me down!!

The hotel is really nice. The rooms are modern and clean. The service was excellent. The food was excellent (that is a hard thing to say in Havana!!). There is also a swimming pool on the top floor which has fantastic views over Havana.

The location is also excellent for downtown Havana but you do need to be on your guard when 'downtown' especially at night.

Stayed here 4 nights May 14-18, 2004. Read many reviews on this and other hotels. I think we picked the best. Room and beds were excellent. Service at breakfast buffet was a little slow at times but who is in a hurry? Food was good quality and lots of variety. While in Havana we looked inside many other hotels and each time we were pleased that we chose this hotel.
There is no better location in Havana. Right on the border of old havana and Centro. Steps away from the Capatilio, Floradita Bar, and Obispo Street. Great view overlooking Cenral Parque. The concierge was not much help if you did not want to book a governement tour. His answers were not correct with regards to shows, bands, or market openings. Check in and check out was smooth and service at the bar friendly and attentive. The roof top pool was an oasis and a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of a big city. Great view of the Prada from the pool deck. I would return to this hotel.

Perfect, perfect, perfect. Seems to be the only place in Cuba where they know how to mix a cocktail. The rooftop pool is just stunning, overlooking the old town.

If I had to deduct marks, it would be for the occasional slow service, and the bun-fight at breakfast. But after two weeks in other parts of Cuba, its like a 10 star hotel. Make it your last stop in Cuba if flying out of Havana.

Have stayed at this hotel several times. One of the best in Cuba. The rooms are one of if not the best of any hotel in Cuba. Bathrooms are splendid. The lobby and the bar are excellent and the roof top pool very private and comfortable. The Dutch stews always stay there and usually sun bath at the pool, always an added bonus. The staff very professional and often remember your name after a short time there.

Well worth the money and much better than the Melia Cohiba. Situated at Central Park (Parque Central) and near some very nice sights, Habana Vieja, Edificio Capitolio, Partagas Cigar Factory, La Floridita for the best Daiquiri's in the world, only if the older man in the red jkt with all the medals makes it NO ONE ELSE!
