The hotel's location is very good. Just around the corner from Museo de la Revolucion and the Paseo del Prado. It's a short walk to the big hotels around the Capitolio in Centro Habana; to the Malecon; and to old Havana. You won't find a cheaper hotel in this area.

However, during our one week stay, the air-conditioning system didn't work for 4 of the nights we were there. It was extremely warm and humid outside, and as we were travelling with a 13-month old baby, it was very difficult for all of us to sleep at night. The front desk service was lacking and a bit "robotic", but the restaurant / bar staff, camarera (chambremaid) and doormen were really nice.

Breakfast at the hotel was the same old food everyday, but it's okay, this is Cuba, I figured. At least there's cable tv in the room, showing American channels like MTV and ESPN.

The only reason this hotel is getting a trip advisor 3-dot rating (neutral/average) is because we only paid $600 per person for this vacation, including flight from Toronto. The rating would have been a 2-dot (okay, but some problems) if we would have paid the hotel's posted rates, which were much higher.

This is one of those mid size modestly priced hotels that was a real bargain and very comfortable.

The room was fairly small but nice and comfy. Although I didn't have much of a view I had windows on two walls so it was surprisingly bright. It was clean, the hot water worked for long showers, and the tv had lots of channels. a nice sized in-room safe.

I was surprised at how good the breakfast was; better than the two 5 star hotels I stayed at in Cuba. Great location, went for runs along the nearby malecon every morning.

A small staff, but helpful (had the maid do some washing late in the afternoon, returned that night) - also the hotel bellboy arranged a 15 CUC ride to the airport at 6:30 (the taxis were all asking 25 CUC). 30 seconds from the Prado, on the edge of Habbana Centro and a few minutes walk to Habbana Viejo. Just around the corner on the Prado watched a group of locals practice modern dance in a huge theatre.

It is a good hotel for Havana's standards... it means it is clean, good staff, good furniture... very well located... however, there is no internet connexion (although it is very close to a hotel that it has)... in sum, I would recommend to go there for 1-2 days and find a legal house (the ones the cubans may rent to foreigners)... it is much cheaper and well located.

This hotel is fine if you just want a bed in Havana for a few nights. Our room was small but adequate and was clean. The restaurant on the top floor did have fine views of the city, but you have to stand up to see them! We had breakfast included in the rate, but it was not worth having as the quality of the food was terrible even for Cuba. The hotel has no atmosphere whatsoever, it is just a building with bedrooms and a very slow lift. However, if you´re happy to save a little money and don´t spend a lot of time in your hotel, then it will be fine.
