Tejadillo is a good mid price hotel in Old Havana located within 60 seconds of Plaza de la Catedral and the Famous Bodeguita del Medio bar.
Getting to sites in Old Havana takes minutes and only a 15 minute walk to more central atractions such Capitolio or the Malecon. The hotel was clean and tidy with many original features in the building. Breakfast is limited but OK. The bar serves the best Mojitos we tasted and normally has a good band playing during the afternoon. The air cond and hot water worked just fine. A great place to stay if atmosphere and proximity to many characterful bars and the music they contain is your thing.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights in March with my 10 year old son. The room was large with good air conditioning and a fine bathroom. The courtyard is lovely. Our room was very quiet. The location is excellent (smack in the old part of Havana where there are no cars allowed!). I thought it was very good value for the money. As well, there was an excellent tour operator at a desk in the lobby and she can easily arrange tours, transportation, etc.

I stayed at the Tejadillo from December 20th - 25th, recently on my trip to Cuba. The rooms are nicely furnished with wooden and iron furniture. The staff are helpful and give suggestions re tours, resturants etc. The location is good because of its proximity to all the areas of interst in old havana all within walking distance. To me old hanava, has much more character than Vedado where i subseqently stayed for 10 days. The day tour to Pinar Del Rio in the Vinales valley is worth the trip as well as the Parisenne carbaret show. I also attended the Tropicana carbaret Show which was more of a spectacle with the fancy costumes and lights The best flea market is located just outside the Tejadillo and has much more variety and quality items than two others located in Vedado. on La Rampa and on the Maleco. Taxia are inexpensive but i would advise using a map to explore Old havana on foot. There is a heavy police presence everywhere and as a female i never felt unsafe.

I found the Hostal Tejadillo to be just what we wanted in a hotel: quiet, well-located, beautiful, clean, and intimate.

Located in Old Havana, the Tejadillo is near the historical sites, nightlife and museums (it is right across the street from the Cathedral and a few houses down from the Museum of Contemporary Art). Also within one block's walk are the arts and crafts market, the Bogedito del Medio, and an internet/long distance call facility (Etecsa).

One of the best aspects, to me, was that the Tejadillo is off the square a bit, so the hawkers, drinkers and other noise makers aren't constantly part of your experience. You get to leave them behind when you have had enough of them.

The breakfast is good (neither lavish nor skimpy). The people who work there are friendly and helpful. The rooms are charming and located around a well tended courtyard.

It isn't a resort, so there's no pool, weightroom, or that kind of thing. But for a charming place to stay, it is hard to beat.

Had a good time at this hotel. The staff were friendly and the rooms big and clean.
We had a room onto the street with a balcony. This was great for the atmosphere and hanging out watching the world go by and waving to the neighbours. However not so great for sleeping - but who comes to Havana to sleep anyway?
We were a bit late for breakfast (about 15 mins before it ended) and there was no cups or plates and not much food. That's our own fault really!

Arriving late at night, we were disappointed that there was a problem with our room (water leak) and that we had to be put up in another hotel, but the receptionist and porter transferred us without fuss and brought us swiftly back the next day so we could settle in.
The hotel is in a great location, just off the Plaza de la Cathedral. Close to the sights but not in the thick of it. The shutters on to the streets do not keep out all the noise and the workmen start early (but then if we want to see Havana restored to its former glory, they have to work). The breakfast was mainly mini crossants and cakes but enough to keep you going till lunch. The room had lovely high ceilings and traditional furniture, the hotel clean and and the bar seemed to be a favorite with locals too. Most of all I would like to thank the staff, though, for helping when my husband fell ill. We ended up staying an extra night and he became a minor celebrity due to all the fuss that was made over him.

We began our two-and-a-half week trip to Cuba with three nights at the Tejadillo. It's got bags of atmosphere and lovely rooms with high ceilings. (Make sure you get one with a balcony looking out over the street.) The location is terrific, within walking distance of all Havana Vieja.

The bathrooms are slightly dilapidated and the breakfast was pretty Soviet, but this is Cuba, after all.

After the Tejadillo, though, we stayed instead with Cuban families in casas particulares. This is a much better way to see the real Cuba, as well as being far cheaper (usually $25 for a double room with breakfast). If you speak just a smattering of Spanish, you'll enjoy it.

To find these, and to get round Cuba in general, you MUST buy a Lonely Planet guide. It's invaluable.

We stayed at Tejadillo for 6 nights in September. We got here more than what we have expected. The location of the hotel is just amazing. When we arrived late at night the neighborhood was a little bit scary - narrow street, a big pile of junk just in front of the entrance and the locals sitting around it... well... strangers in a strange land, but next morning we didn't find it as bad, we were laughing at the first impression, as we found out that behind the pile was an elementary school. So, the place should be safe... and it is. Actually the pile was cleaned up a few days later - we used it a navigation point.
The hotel is beautiful with the two inner gardens (small green lizards live on the palm-trees, they are lovely), it's clean and well-kept. According to Lonely Planet the hotel's income's big part is used for the restoration of Old Havana since it's Government-owned, so your money goes into good hands. The location is just excellent since everything you want to see is in walking distance. You can easily get into the maze from here, it's fabulous. The flea-market is awsome and really cheap.
Note, that most of the rooms don't have windows except the ones facing the street. If there's one available of these, go for it! These are noisier than the ones without windows, but worths the experience of watching a different lifestyle that's right in your face.
The local band 'Coral Negro' plays good music, listening to them in a company of a good coctail one evening is a must.

I've traveled all over the world, I've stayed in one stars and five stars, even no stars on multiple occasions, but never have I been swindled with such blatant disregard. I booked this "high-end" hotel for our first night in Havana with hopes that they would provide respite and an easy transition to the harsh realities of this foreign country. I used the website "Cuba Travel Network" which I do not recommend for reasons I will explain later. When we arrived the front desk clerk named Nivnui, took the voucher I had printed from the Cuba Travel Network email confirmation. I had originally booked a room for 2 but emailed CTN to increase to 3 ppl. I didn't get a response from them. She made a big fuss and told us we had to pay the difference between two ppl and three ppl. Which we were happy to do. She told us it was $80 CUC (roughly $80-90 USD) and we paid. She swiftly put the money in the drawer without giving us a reciept.....our mistake to not request one. Next, she called the CTN and told them about the additional person and required us to give an additional $120 CUC (roughly $120-145 USD) as a deposit until we could call them in the morning ourselves. This made absolutely no sense to me. Why would I need to give a deposit if I had already paid the full amount for three people? She told me it was for incidentals and that she could not give us the room without it. My travel companions and I were confused, but being three women traveling alone in a foreign country with no other option we felt forced to comply or else be wandering the street alone at night. We paid the deposit, I wrote down the amounts we paid in my notebook and required a receipt for the deposit. Which we received.
In the morning I spoke to the CTN and they told me to pay for the third person with them, an additional $123 and then I could get the deposit plus the $80 CUC back. I thought this was a good option because I could pay on my USA Credit card, which are unusable in Cuba, and then I would have more cash for the rest of our trip. So, at this point in total I had paid $289 (one night per person) plus 120 deposit, plus $80, plus $123 which equals $612!!!!! The same amount is equal to the same hotel Jay-z and Beyonce stayed at in Havana, the Hotel Saratoga!
This next part is what has really thrown me over the edge. When I requested the $80 be returned to me, the front desk representative, a man, and the manager refused! They stated that there was no record of me paying the $80 CUC....and when they called NivNui she flat out lied. First her story was that she took $80 and then took $40 more to equal $120 for the deposit. Then she said that she took $40 and then another $80. Having just exchanged our USD for CUC me and my travel companions showed the $200 missing from our wallets. Next, they threatened us to call the police. Cuban police is enough to scare any traveler, but for USA citizens this was more than enough to get us to walk away AND pay them even more for the minibar charges! Another $32.
This was the worst introduction into Cuba. I intensely recommend that you do not under any circumstances stay with this hotel. Pay the extra money to stay at a five star hotel like the Parque Central or Saratoga where hospitality is nurtured and guests can expect honesty from the hotel representatives. Cuba is a difficult place to navigate and honesty from the locals could not be at a higher demand. It's worth it to pay top dollar for the best hotel and the best tour guide.
Also, no Wifi both days, poor breakfast, mosquito ridden, and terrible mattresses.

Hotel Tejadillo was great, service was OK, Cuba does not manufacture toilet seats and you have to flush with a bucket full of water. You will pay $100 a night for $35 a night Super 8 accomadation but the experiance is worth it. Get away from the tourist $ restaurants where you will pay high prices for bad food and go to the peso restaraunts (25% of the cost). Buy the Lonely Planet Guide and when you do the horse drawn tour make sure you ask for Oswaldo Lopez ( Oz) he took us to meet his uncle in Minas ( about 150 km from Havana). We stayed with them for two days and as poor as they are the hospitality was beautifull. Tell Oz Dave and Pete the the brothers sent you.
