We stayed here for 3 nights on our arrival in Havana, and were not at all impressed. Our bathroom had no window so the condensation meant the ceiling constantly dripped water, and the whole room had a really strong damp smell. The patio was noisy with hotel staff making no allowances for guests who wanted to sleep any time after 8am! Breakfast is definitely not worth getting up early for, and was the worst we sampled on our stay (which included casas particulares - highly recommended).

The worst part is that this hostal wasn't at all cheap! I would recommend you try anywhere but here. This is definitely a last resort.

I can be very short about this hotel. We booked a room with 3 beds. They only had 2 and they were crap. One of us actually had to sleep on the floor!! I guess that says enough about the servicelevel....

Avoid this place!

we stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in june and loved it.What a wonderful base to explore Havana,we have never been to Cuba before and we really didnt know what to expect.We stayed in room 202,it was lovely yes it smelled a bit musty when we first booked in ,but this went as soon as you put the aircon on (tip take a tescos clubcard to put in the slot to keep your aircon on as its very hot).One thing you must do is look at the pictures on the walls in reception this hotel was a derelict builing up untill 2001 so what a transformation,it might not be to every ones taste but we loved it you are a short walk to all the main squares and the front ,we walked all around Havana we had no problems at all with food ,the people or the place.It might not be as plush as some of the hotels in Havana but its good
Only thing for me was that breakfast is hit and miss and the flys liked it to,i did recommend that they could put covers on the food we learnt that as soon as they brought a fresh tray out we ate that.
I hope that anybody that books this hotel goes with a open mind and really enjoys the Havana ambiance and experience we will go back to Havana and would stay at this hotel

The Tejadillo is unusual. You arrive via a run down street with people hanging around. Then you walk into a really nice hotel.

The location is in fact really good and the 3 main squares are all just blocks away. The room we had was large and needed to be as we are a family of 4. Bathroom was OK but needed a refresh. We had a toilet seat and the comment about not having them in Cuba is nonsense. Maybe they dont make them but they sure do exist.
Breaksfast was OK, nothing special. As for the windows issue. Well after reading the reviews I had the impression there would be no natural light. Not true. Our room had two double doors and around each were glazed panels that had been whitewashed for privacy and or keeping the sun & heat out. These let good light in but had nets and curtains over them as well to shut this out if needed. This must be to keep the rooms as cool as possible. If you wanted fresh air then you could open the door as it went out onto a pretty courtyard. I would stay here again as a base to further explore Havana.
