I had given much thought about staying a night or two in Havana during my trip to the Breezes Jibacoa. I actually had planned to stay at the Hotel Valencia, but decided to check out hotels during my day trip to Havana. I saw an agent at one of the Information Centres in Havana and she directed me to an agent at the Hotel Sarratogo. This was a fine hotel, but beyond my budget. I got a rate of 80 CUC for the Telegrafo, went there, and was amazed! I immediately checked-in and was very pleased with the hotel room! The location was excellent - close to shops, restaurants and the promenade. The restaurant and bar were magnificent. I enjoyed a very tasty breakfast the next morning (actually better than what was offered at my resort in Jibacoa). I will return to this hotel on future visits without question.

Although the Hotel Valencia was originally my first choice, when I went there, I found that it was over-rated and the restaurant prices were ludicrous - this was a major turn-off.

  • Liked — Great location, modern, clean and close to restaurants.
  • Disliked — Being proposistioned by door staff to by cheap (counterfeit) cigars. Albeit common at ALL Havana hotels.

Excellent hotel. Great location, beautiful decor, clean.

I loved the decor of this hotel, very modern and original with nice rooms. You can walk everywhere.

food-food took forever so if you are very hungry, go some place else. There is a cafe/pastry shop next door, very cheap and yummy. Just stay away from the cokes, they charge as if that was gold.

I didn't like the fact that they don't have iron for your clothes. Instead they charge a laundry or ironing service.

It is beyond me how this hotel can be rated lower than Hostal Valencia and Hostal Comendador.

I started my stay in Cuba as the Comendador, then moved to Valencia (they are basically the same hotel). After being cheated and huzzled and invaded by cockroaches in the Valencia, I litterally escaped and moved to Hotel Telegrafo.

The Telegrafo is a wonderful hotel in the best location in Havana. I recommend it to everyone. Vlean, bright rooms and very nice staff.

Stayed here for 3 nights in June and had a great time. Hotel is in fantastic location, close enough to walk into Old Havana and near to the Cigar factory as well as the Capitolo. When we arrived the welcome at reception was not very warm to say the least however our room was great, very spacious, high ceilings, very clean etc. Lovley view of the square infront of the hotel. We got good recommendations of places to eat from the hotel, they also booked us into some restaurants and were very helpful. The Food was good, not fantastic, however seeing as its only breakfast you can live with it and the food in Cuba is not fantastic full stop! Hotel has nice area to sit out and enjoy a Mojito watching the fantastic old American cars. Would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Havana.
