Amazing breakfest buff for only 8cuc pp .delicious and fresh.
1875 building. Take the stairs and skip the tiny ancient elevator. Classical architecture and great breakfast room and outdoor seating but the rooftop band playing from 9 to12 makes sleeping at that time impossible. No balcony rooms means no windows so really claustrophobic for some. State run hotel so
Absolutely best location you can get in Havana. Right on main square. Easy walk to old Havana or the Melecon. Hotel is very historic. Staff were helpful. Ludvig was brilliant and explained about Havana and which directions to go. Loads of old 50s cars outside. You can watch all of them from the hotel. Ludvig will sort you out with one of the best cars for an Havana tour.
We stayed 3 nights here recently. Lovely old character hotel in good location. But. reception staff unfriendly and unhelpful. Reported our broken fridge twice and nobody bothered to fix or replace it. Could not sleep for the noise of music on roof and street. Breakfast not great. Stale pastries and staff who appeared to be there to chat to each other and ignore guests!
Wi-Fi access, rooftop garden lounge-patio bar with live band. Amazing views of Havana and super romantic, loved it. Will always have this memory there. 😍
Sevilliano bar is a cool, chilled out, quiet oasis in central Havana where you can grab a reasonable priced coffee/drink and read, work or just recover from the sensory overload of Havana!
We stayed there for a week in a summer a few years ago. It's a old hotel renovated at a certain level. We like the way it is, though. Our room was facing the street which is great to see the city. The location is good, close to the Old Havana and Chinatown. You can use the roof top swimming pool at the nearby newer hotel. If you like the old taste, it's good place to go.
DIDNT STAY HERE BECAUSE NORMALLY ARE EXPENSIVE BUT IT IS NICE JUST STOP FOR A COFFEE
Beautiful hotel with charming cafe in the lobby area. Good for cooling down in air conditioned with WiFi access. And you can also take a peek to the rooftop with a view
Beautiful place. But a mixed bag of staff. Some lovely, others outright rude and unprofessional. No clear service standard. Better off staying in a Casa Particular.
Beautiful building. I used to come here to use services of a travel bereau agent and to use wi-fi. The personnel was always very helpful, they speak perfect English.
My favorite place to observe the energy of the Cuba people walking all through the square. The pork steak is very tender and delicious. A life saving if you need a restroom. Has WiFi too.
Music outside every day. Come here in the afternoons the atmosphere is incredible.
Staff is rude as hell--expect to stand for several minutes without any acknowledgment at the front desk as staff stares blankly at their computer, phone, random papers etc. Let me know if you are able to get a friendly word out of anyone (exception: bartender was nice and forthcoming with directions around the building.) I wish severely that this sad customer service situation were different because the facilities are stunning--especially the rooftop. (Food on rooftop was only edible). Have a sunset mojito and move on.
lovely hotel in Old Havana. Old World architecture and decor throughout the hotel - very colonial style building. Just loved it. Everyone was very helpful, and the location was perfect.
Great view and ambiance on the terrace though they were not serving food on the terrace when we were there. The drinks are well priced and the sandwiches in the open area outside on the ground floor are amazing. A favorite haunt since we stayed close by.
Great place to get wifi and a glass of mojito from the rooftop bar.
The best part is its location across from the Parque Central, boarding area for the tourist buses (T3 $10 goes on a longer route to the newer city, Colon Cemetery, T1 $5 the beach route). The outside café is a good spot to sit and relax, even if you can never mange to get waited on. Inside, the air conditioning and bathrooms are also welcomed. Great photo spot day and night.
This is a wonderful old hotel (immortalized in Cuba Libre/ Elmore Leonard).
We only visited for a drink and to listen to the excellent band who were playing but the lounges were really something special.
The service was reasonable and the food LOOKED good.
Please ignore many of the ridiculous negative comments from some of the writers here, mostly Americans (burger and chips cold???? - PLEASE!) - perhaps the propaganda war is still in full swing as we were told many times whilst we were in Cuba.
If you are going to visit Cuba (or any other country that is underdeveloped compared to where you live) do not then complain endlessly about the toilets, the water or lack of air conditioning - this is typically arrogant of the West generally and insulting to the locals in demanding conditions that far exceed what they have to live with.
While the setting is stunning, the service wasn't great. Staff would often be polite and helpful, but many times totally uncaring of your problems. Unfortunate incident with some small presents that disappear from my room and after complaining and waiting for 15 minutes they (literally) reappeared on my bed.
My room was small, the window or blinds wouldn't open, the bathroom would flood if you opened the taps for more than a few minutes.
They make you pay extra for keeping the bags for checkout.
Internet was rubbish. You get a 1-hour card for 2 pesos (2 dollars) which sometimes works and other times doesn't. Wifi connection was off for a day and a half and when I asked what happened or how long should I expect this problem to last, they simply shrugged their shoulders and looked at me like "Why do you ask me? I'm merely here at the reception and have no idea about these things".
Overall, quite disappointed, will not be staying there again, nor would I recommend it to my friends.
