A very good for as a first timer in Havana. Alex the owner gets himself commited in day to day operation of the proerty with his pleasant staffs. You get both the hotel and home experience out if your stay. Good location in vibrant old town. Safety wise, far more safer area than I was concerned beforehand. A highly recommended to other travellers to Havana. Best Wishes team.

Unpleasant
Unfortunately my stay was an unpleasant one, the room and bathroom smelt really bad so we asked to change rooms but the hotel was full so we had no other choice but to leave the hotel and book another one. Also the area around the hotel at night is not the safest area so it's best to be extra careful if staying here.

Hi. This is a good place to stop, but you still need to remember that this is Cuba. Problems in Wi-Fi, the breakfast is monotonous but hearty, the outlets did not work all bad. But the location is good, close to all the attractions, 3 doors were locked for safety, as well as video surveillance.

Conveniently located in Habana Vieja. Breakfast was a great start to the day and the staff was so nice. I felt like I was staying with family. I’d definitely stay here if I’m able to return to Cuba in the future.

Lovely spacious, clean room - great breakfast included, very friendly and helpful staff.
Awesome location a minute away from Plaza Vieja where there are lots of dining spots with a fabulous vibe and music.
Close enough walk to waterfront and to the on-off bus stop at San Jose Artisans market - which btw is very good. Bought a few pieces of art!
Would definitely book again.

Good experience in a heart of Havana
The room was exactly as described, and it had everything we needed. The staff provided a wonderful breakfast, and they were incredibly helpful in booking taxis and accommodating a late check-out due to our late evening flight. Their flexibility and excellent service made our stay even more enjoyable.

Fantastic location in Havana Vieja, just a few minutes walk to all the main sights and surrounded by restaurants. Spacious airy and large room with very comfortable bed. We received a very warm welcome and the team accommodated our needs on our last day for a late flight home from Havana. Good breakfast included in the room rate.
