We stayed here as part of a gap tour and if i had my choice again i'd pay the extra to stay elsewhere. You wouldn't dream of showering without flip flops on. Hot water is nowhere to be seen. Bathroom is not clean at all but what ever about the bathroom the bedroom is ten times worse. The cream walls are full of dirt you might find hard to imagine but i mean dirt all over them a wash would greatly improve them. Curtains are filthy and our room even had blood stains on the curtains. The chairs in the room aren't even clean enough to sit on they look like they were pulled out of the back of a skip and placed in the room Bedspreads also are filthy dirty and i wasn't brave enogh to use. The pillow is and i'm not joking the size of a hand towel folder over. Breakfast was poor enough also. Some staff bellboy and bar lady were very nice all others couldn't pass comment on. Gap should really charge more rather than have persons start and finish an excellent tour in such a kip. All i say if you can afford it say somewhere else. This place is over priced and would be better off to close the door and knock the place down.

This has to be the funniest place I have ever stayed. If you are happy staying somewhere that will ensure there will be a problem with your room then this is the place. A friend of mine had to change her room four times! Your room may smell bad, the shower may not work, the a/c will be too loud, your bed linen may not be clean or you may have a view into someone else's room. Having said that, the staff are actually very helpful and do try their best. Moreover, when I stayed here, my room was fine aside from the leaking and very loud a/c. You just have to laugh as this will symbolise your experience in Cuba. The hotel is located a short taxi ride from old habana and other attractions. The area feels safe and there are a few places to eat nearby. Do not expect to be impressed by the breakfast, though you can normally secure a good omlette. Finally, it is important that you keep your belongings secure as another friend of mine had some money taken from his luggage.

We were there on march 26th and there was no warm water and the staff could not tell us when they expected this to be fixed.

The 'lovely' swimming pool on the roof was being overhauled which left the hotel full of construction workers going up and down with the elevator.

not much of a stay seeing as we paid 70 € per night for this very basic hotel.
positive:
+ good location
+ resturant was ok
negative
- not worth the money
- airco was very loud
- staff was not so friendly
- rooms are old and worn down

This hotel is quite basic in every way, but is one of the cheapest hotels in Havana (NB. in Cuba you don't exactly get what you pay for):
1. Service - hotel staff were on the whole, relatively friendly, and by Cuban standards, quite helpful
2 . Rooms - passable - many marks on the walls, pillows about as thin as I have ever seen, mattress uncomfortable - certainly not luxury (or even average by US/European standards), but relatively clean
3. Location - good location in Vedado with a view of the Malecon, but I would recommend staying in Old Havana (Habana Vieja) or Centro Habana to be closer to the action
