This strategically located hotel is right on the Malecón seafront. The situation makes the hotel ideal for visits to the old colonial city and equally ideal as a starting point for the renowned Havana nightlife

Good for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
The hotel is old, but if you are ready in principle for Cuban service, you can live. The main advantage is location. Great view from the room. It's a 10-minute walk to the Capitol. Gagliano, Malekon - on his way out of the hotel. Really, you have to be prepared for Malekon to have a party every day for hours until 2 a.m., and there's no noise insulation in the room. But every day you wake up with such a view of the sea and the city that you always want to take pictures of it. After going to restaurants around here, I came to the conclusion that dinner at the hotel was the right thing to do. Pretty inexpensive and delicious. If you want to organize your own stay in Havana - this is not a bad choice.

I found the location excellent with my day starting early with walks along the malecon.I walked a few mornings to the National to have a cigar and coffeewhich took about 20 minutes.I felt safe walking due to the police presence.as it gets over whelming "Hey you my freind Where are you From" .I found the location is within a 2 dollar 3 dollar cab ride distance to most locations.Try to get a room away from street level,I was on the second floor the first night as the hotel was full but after asking,was told to come back at noon the next day and was givin a room on the 5th floor over looking the malecon.......take earplugs just the same as it is noisy with the old trucks rambling by at 5 am and the people gathering at night and early morning as it nevers sleeps in Havana.If you want quiet then go to Varadero as the Deauville is the real Cuba.Breakfast is filling but nothing to write home about,stick to the hard-boiled eggs,toast,coffee and fruits.Pool was great addition,would spend my day at Partagas and RYJ cigar factories and then cool and chill by the pool late afternoon.Staff is friendly and competent,in fact I had accidently left my safety deposit box open with my passport and $300 in it and it was there with my room cleaned with out incident,with the keys dangling there on my return.to see this made me feel safe.Rooms are clean,water was hot,staff was friendly but hey this is a good clean cheap 2 star......coffee is great in the lobby as well as the cuban sanwiches........forget dinner,get to the Paladares.....Chicas are not a problem there outside but for the most part if you show you are not interested they leave you alone.A lot of Americans were here which surprised meas well as European's as well as some Japanese..If you want to see Havana and the real Cuba come here,if your Varadeo type who comes here to fly and flop on the beach,I'm sorry to have wasted your time reading my review...........Will I go back?......SI,in a heartbeat.......

I almost didnt book this hotel bc of the bad reviews. I almost cancelled days before my trip. I was here Feb 10-14th 2018. My worries were unfounded. Leave your 3* NA standards at home and remember eveything in Havana is OLD. Unless your paying 300-400 a night you wont get freshly painted, decorated hotel rooms. Hotel Deauville is right on the Malecon with AMAZING views, we were on the 12th floor and could say Havana Bay, the Strip and downtown. The pool was lovely. The breakfast was very good and the cafe lattes. The room was basic and had YES had old stuff in it but who cares. The first thing i checked was the sheets and for bugs. I didnt see any. Except 2 little bugs in the shower. Just like at home in the summer you would see in Canada if your window was left open. We always got new towels nice and clean from the Main and clean white bed linen. Sat night was the loudest outside the hotel as most youth and tourist hangoutside on the malecon blvd and around the hotel. But if you wear ear plugs it isnt too bad. The AC worked great in our room 1209. The beach was 20 min Cab ride away 20CUC return. The beach was beautiful and I know, I have been to Varadero, Cayo Coco and Santa Maria; the name of the beach is Santa Maria OR playa de ests they are all together so it just depends which one you get dropped off at. There are umbrellas and chairs to rent there and you can order food/drinks from the beach. Make sure you get a cab that says Taxi on it bc if not you might end up in an unsafe cuban car. We walked everyday to downtown about 15 min walk. A cab ride was 8CUC. So we would cab back. Trust me if you dont need a fancy, modern hotel this is a good place to stay. We also ate at the restaurant at night and it was delcious. The bar inside the hotel served good drinks too. email blackpawlady@gmail.com for more questions. I cant say enough about my first experience in Old Havana off a resort and at this hotel. Oh, seemed every age stays here we song young people, 40somethings and 60 somethings. Not any little kids though here at this hotel. You have to rent the safe :( Dont need converter for electronics.

I didnt stay in the hotel but I enjoyed the drinks and food. I can't speak for the quality of the rooms but I suspect given the old reviews that it is Under New Management. The prices are rock bottom and we were able to have four cocktails a glass of wine and two full meals for $9. It was honestly the first time in a long time that I did not feel like people were scanning me or trying to take advantage of me as a tourist and I was not subjected to Boom Boom music which is now everywhere in Havana and outskirts. Sadly Havana has become a place of scams for tourists and we are nothing more than walking dollar signs most of the time. This place was filled with kind and grateful staff and a beautiful view of the malecon. Great morning capuccino too. I accidentally paid too much and they gave me money back. This was the first and probably the only time that will happen in Cuba I'm sorry to say. Con artist and deceptive sales people abound in other locations and as a tourist one needs to be always aware.

I had this trip to Cuba with my fiancé who is cuban, and I heard from the guys working in the pool that there was a party where they taught us to dance cuban style salsa and it was the best time of my life. There was a lot of tourists, the cocktails were wonderful, the maitre was a very good man, always paying attention to our good. The waiters and bartender were amazing people, so good service. I would definitely recommend it.

I was leaving school and decided to have a drink and spend a pleasant afternoon watching the sunset .walk malecón and enter the hotel a little disoriented . immediately those on the door recommended me to climb to the terrace that was very nice and I was really delighted . I had a refreshing cocktail and I was amazed by the area. The service was very good and what to say about the treatment of the staff .I was told that on Wednesdays salsa is danced and safe return .The head of ay b told us about the projects and suggested us return .I said yes that I would definitely repeat with other friends of the faculty .

We went to the fashion night at the pool of this beautiful newly modeled hotel. The show is top-notch, the staff is very attentive, they sell good drinks and there are food offers, quite affordable. Without a doubt a magical night and they have more offers, when we return to Cuba we will come for sure.

I had gone before and they really gave me a good room and it was okay to stay, but every year that passes things are destroyed and not fixed, they gave me a room with the air conditioning broken, the TV could not be seen, antenna problems, but that is not important because there is nothing good to see, but the room is dirty, with a bad smell of humidity or something bad. Luckily it was 2 nights, they couldn't move us because according to them the hotel was full and I think if there were 5 guests there were a lot of us because you couldn't see so many customers coming and going and at breakfast there were only better than 10. Anyway, nope. I go back there. The only good thing was the pool and the sea views from the room.

I have stayed at the Hotel Deauville many times over the past 25 years. The hotel is uniquely located on the Malacon, facing the Florida Straits. Many rooms have a balcony. The hotel has a large swimming pool on the 6th floor with a wiew of the sea end the city. The staff have always been incredibly freindly. I can recommend the hotel, also for longer stays

This hotel was booked by a friend through Hotels.com and the issues are as listed: We both paid the same amount $210.53 his was a 3 bedroom since his son stayed with him mine was a single bed for me and my wife On informing the manager about the room he said this was a two bed room you will see photos attached that show a two bedroom and my room. Hotels.com is the worst site and I would need them to know this because I lost money by sleeping in a dirty room with staff and management including the senior lady Manager at this hotel. The showers stand was broken toilets dirty and stinky as hell.

Not sure. We were on the 4th floor. Rooms definetley not renovated there. I don't go to discos hence I can't comment on that. Sorry for not being more helpful.
Hmmm not sure, they don’t include transportation. But you will always have taxi service, they are in front of hotel at all hrs, you pay the fee of course.
Its small, there seemed to be more tables than sunbeds. I didn't use the pool. It's on the roof with an ok view and a small restaurant/cafe on the same level.
Hi - yes, this could be true - we arrived at 6am in the morning and could not check in until 4pm. We could not eat breakfast there that morning even though we were checking out and not having breakfast on the last day. This is not a customer friendly location.
There are more places to choose from in the Havana area.
