We had originally booked a triple room for an overnight stay at Hostal Del Tejadillo, but upon arrival, the receptionist informed us a room was not available due to water damage from the ceiling.
They offered us an alternative room at San Miguel, 5 minutes round the corner. I was immediately apprehensive, but agreed to the exchange, only if we could see the San Miguel and its room first.
We were not disappointed with San Miguel. It is a boutique hotel, like Hostal Del Tejadillo, which we wanted in Old Havana. The interior decor around the hostal is antique, in keeping with its original looks, which is beautiful.
The terrace on Level 3 was brilliant, just to sit and watch life go by on the street below.
Breakfast was lovely, with plenty on offer from the waiter.
When we checked in, we had to leave our passports with receptionist to get checked out (normal practice). Upon returning that evening, the receptionist informed us that we had left money in one of the passports (75 CUC Pesos)that he immediately handed over. My wife had left this in a passport for the Exit Tax at the airport, but it just highlighted the honesty of the people at the hotel. We would have been none the wiser if they had kept the money, which is a lot to them.
There is a little shopping arcade when you turn right out of the hotel and walk approx 5 mins. I think its on Cuba Street, but not sure. It's a little gem of a place with a tables in a coutyard and 3 levels of shops around. We only found it by accident, as it's not really signposted.

Location:
Exellent location in 100 meters from Maximo Gomez monument in the heart of Old Havana!!! Perfect view on the sea, right bank of bay (with old fortifications) from restaurant on top floor. Room 22 has a best view.
Rooms:
rooms are clean, well equipped, good!
General:
Hostal is very small, few rooms on 3 floors, some with fine view. Breakfast is good. In low season I`ve booked single for 60 EUR via internet.
At the end - perfect place!!!

We booked this hotel on line for the final 2 days of our holiday as a bit of a treat. For the price I feel that maybe it should have included a toilet seat, towels and house keeping. The 4 pm check in was also bit of a hassle especially considering the stink from the front desk when we were 10 minutes late checking out ! (12 check out). Anyway, you can't beat the location or the view and the terrace is nice.

My husband and I stayed at the Hostal San Miguel in Feb 06. We initially wanted to stay at the Hotel Florida but they were all booked. After staying at the San Miguel, we were very pleased with our choice. While the Hotel Forida had a great location and was very classy, the San Miguel had excellent service and with only 10 rooms it was much more intimate.
The bathrooms were great, the rooms with their very high ceilings and antique furniture were bright and decorated very tastefully. (They were also spotless!) The front desk and other staff were helpful, friendly, honest, and had good senses of humor. Our room opened up onto a little balcony that overlooked the street life and the ocean beyond that. I would definitely stay there again, rather than in one of the bigger boutique hotels.
