This is the hotel to be if you want to have a romantic vacation. It is clean & safe. The rooms are not overly luxurious but they are simple and charming. The lobby, staircase and an old elevator complete the romantic picture by preserving the originality of the building. Yes, you are located in the heart of the Old Havana where all the action is. But don't expect for the area to be quiet and the food to be great. You go there to experience Cuba not the food. The location will give you an insight into every day life of a Cuban. Not everything you see will be easy on the eye but it is all part of Cuban reality. If you prefer not to be bothered by that and only see nice things you should consider one of the resorts. My husband and I are planning another trip in 2007.

4/4 found this review helpful

we stayed at the hotel for 10 days with our 19 year old and 4 year old, they both loved it. The hotel itself abounds in understated elegance and is situated centrally in one of the cleaner, quieter areas of old Havana. Great rooms (for for one with a balcony), staff were great and the cleaning ladies excellent. Cant wait to go back.Very child friendly, only thing it misses is a swimming pool.

  • Liked — decor and cleanliness
  • Disliked — no complaints at all
  • Tips/Secrets: — get a room with a balcony
