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.
Our room was a suite and was spacious and immaculately clean, a/c whisper quiet and easily adjustable via hand held remote control. Marta, the hostess/manager and her staff were attentive and responsive to every request, as well as engaging and warm. The beds and pillows were equivalent to the best luxury hotel we’ve stayed at. We were part of a small group, no kids. If you can get JC as your guide for tours, consider yourself doubly blessed. Any downside? Sure, Wi-Fi/internet was erratic (it is Cuba after all), so you may want to have an international cellular plan as backup, and barking dogs and sounds of cats at night, which somehow know they should stop after 11:00 pm. And you will need to go up a small (but beautiful) circular staircase to reach the breakfast buffet, rooftop deck. In summation, the place was great and surpassed all our expectations. You won’t be disappointed if you choose this place.

My friend and I had a wonderful experience at Chateau Blanc, and I highly recommend it. This was our first time in Havana and Cuba. The staff (Marta and Alfredo) were extraordinarily helpful in assisting us in every way, and we enjoyed getting to know them. The home and our rooms were spacious, lovely, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was tailored to our needs and generously portioned.
Moreover, the White family who owns the property helped us connect with the Havana Jewish Community and arrange a local tour for us of Jewish Havana. They also co-sponsored with us and prepared a meal for the major synagogue there, enabling the Jewish community to gather, worship, and eat together for one of the first times since the pandemic. The kitchen is set up so that anyone who keeps kosher can do so comfortably there.
The spacious and beautifully decorated upstairs patio where we ate offered nice views of New Vedado.
I felt very safe at and around the Chateau Blanc and loved the location so near the forrested preserve, with walking trails and a gentle river. The only drawback to New Vedado is that it takes awhile to get into the center of town where many other Havana attractions are located. But I would recommend the Chateau without hesitation, and especially for others who want both comfort and connection with Cuba's Jewish community.

Our group of eight friends and family enjoyed exploring Cuba and returning each day to this modern, comfortable hotel with friendly staff. The rooms are spacious and well furnished, the breakfasts were delicious, and best of all was Marta, who explained everything from how and whether to change our dollars to the best restaurants in walking distance. Highly recommended!

From top to bottom you will experience 5 start customer service. Juan Carlos started off as an incredible tour guide and translator and over my time spent became a dear friend. Marta along with her support staff kept me fed, caffeinated and always made sure my A/C was turned on and ready for me before I went to bed. Moving on from the staff, the location is great. Right down the street from the public forest you will see trees that belong in Disney fantasy films. There is an incredible view from the third floor of the hotel as well. Chateau Blanc is the perfect location for a family vacation to a business retreat.

This was my third time at Chateau Blanc - this time traveling with my (adult) son. The staff is so gracious and helpful in getting taxis and taking care of everything. It's super clean and shiny. The terraces are lovely and broad and breezy, with tables and chairs and a distant view of the ocean -- it's on top of a hill in a very nice part of Havana. There is wifi, but it's not automatically available all the time -- it was missing when I wanted to check in for my flight home -- but Marta later told me that she could have helped if I had asked her. So ask her if you find yourself in that situation. She's great. We had a great time. And Havana itself is really something to experience - it's a different planet - full of surprises.

I highly recommend staying at Chateau Blanc when in Havana. With their lovely staff, I truly felt like I was at home, with family who cared deeply about my experience and wellbeing. Whatever came my way, Marta and Alfredo quickly and easily dissolved my every obstacle. They go above and beyond what any other hotel staff would do for you. They even connected me with incredible sites and people, from famous artists to wonderful families in the Jewish community. Also, the facilities are impeccably clean, new and beautiful. I hadn't had such a luxurious bed or shower in a long time. There's also a lot of comfortable common lounge area. And some icing on the cake: they have 2 gorgeous dining terraces, in the front and the back, so you can choose your view overlooking the city, forest or the ocean. Also the location is very quiet neighborhood tucked away from the city center, nearby the forest. But it is also only a 10-20 minute cab ride from most anywhere you'd want to visit. I highly recommend Chateau Blanc especially for families or people traveling in a group, Jewish or non-Jewish. It is a perfect space to come home and relax together after sight-seeing. They have the luxury of a fancy hotel but the warmth of staying with family.

Our stay was lovely and I’ll definitely return in the future as it had a nice, welcoming vibe unlike larger hotels. The rooms were spacious and clean with plenty of space to relax on the balconies. Breakfast was tasty and included fresh juices and excellent coffee every morning. The neighborhood wasn’t far from the airport and it was fairly quiet. Highly recommend JC if you can get him as your guide during your stay.

I stayed here whilst i was on business, there was also a group of tourists here at the time, the staff was very welcoming and always on hand to help with anything, the rooms were spacious and with a fresh modern design, and everything was clean tidy and ready for my arrival, everyday my room was cleaned and provided with fresh linen and towels. The food was great from breakfast all the way through to dinner, with fresh produce everyday and a nice Cuban touch to the menu. There was also a fully stocked bar with drinks and a bartender. Also the rooftop terrace has some wonderful views and is great for sunrise or sunset. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in Cuba and it would not have been the same had I stayed somewhere else.
I'd like to also personally thank the staff, Marta, Marvi, Alfredo, Javier, Midoris, Juan Carlos, Adrian, Marcelo, Ana Maria, and Vicky (sorry if I missed anyone out!)
Would highly recommend this Chateu for a stay in Cuba.
Warm regards Yudi the Mashgiach

Chateau Blanc is amazing - the people, the location, the building, the food. everything exceeded our expectations for our 1st trip to Cuba. Marta and her team are phenomenal. There aren't enough stars for the recommendation I really want to give!! if you are looking for a quiet, comfortable, friendly place to stay with good food, this is it! we had breakfast in the B&B every morning and the coffee, eggs, fruit, bread and cheese were perfect. Have food issues like me, just talk to Marta and she'll get you what you need. Oh and the hotel is kosher, if that's what you need.

We had a fantastic trip to Havana, with the team at Chateau Blanc there to guide us every step of the way. They provided all the delicious authentic (and kosher) meals, a wonderful tour guide in Juan-Carlos and a phenomenal driver who, despite the crappy roads of Havana, avoided every pothole. The B&B itself is GORGEOUS and the views from the rooftop area are just delightful from sunrise to sunset. Marta, who ties it all together, is funny, warm and overall a wonderful host.
