I stayed in a double room with a friend-the room was actually one of the "cell" the nuns lived in. The grounds are beautiful w/ a lovely garden. Security is good but you are unable to bring any Cuban friends you make inside. Depending on whether there are dorms of students, it is relatively quiet. No need for A/C if you go in spring or winter. Breakfast is served & the staff are very friendly & accomodating. It helps to speak a little Spanish.
