having stayed at Hotel telegrafo, an upscale place by Cuban standards, the S. Isabel is a better choice but pricier. Pres. Carter was here, as everyone knows, in 2002. Large rooms with balconies, poorly made mojotes with little rum in them,... located on the Plaza Armas which is very quiet- pedestrians only- and great harbor views from the rooftop bar.... More

Our last night in Cuba was spent in the Junior suite before our flight home! Wow.... Beautiful hotel in perfect location. In the heart of the old town, easy to walk to restaurants, and stroll around the Market looking at all the books on display! Great carnival atmosphere in the afternoon when we were there! Highly recommend! More

The Hotel Santa Isabel was a beautiful hotel, situated in the heart of the old Havana. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, and our room was absolutely spotless. The location was excellent - walking distance to the key sights and restaurants. Highly recommend this hotel. More

Couldn't be a better location. Right in the heart of old Havana, but still nice and quiet. The only noise was in the morning when the used booksellers rolled their carts across Plaza de Armes. The hotel is older, but very charming and clean. Wow, was our room pink. The balcony opens up across the square with an unbelieveable view,... More

No problems.... Rooms were clean. The fridge was stocked with all kinds of drinks. Terrace over looking the Plaza de Arms was the best. I got great service from everyone working at the property. The Resturant on the roof was superb. Will be back. Capt. Don More

When we checked in, we were asked if we wanted to upgrade to a suite. We said no, and they gave us the worst standard room they got, even thought the hotel was pretty empy. The room faced another building, and we can see a duck in the apartment facing us. The service attitude of the staff were not good.... More

We stayed in this hotel the last two nights of our Cuba Trip, as we planned to spoil ourselves. Considering the price you pay, it is not worth staying there, especially because of the stuff who constantly wants to fool you: 1. They overcharged the bill for drinks 2. They wanted to sell us tickets for the Cabaret Parisién asking... More

Contrary to some of the other reviews on this hotel we had a lovely 5 night stay here. We had a standard room on the corner with french doors that gave us views in two directions. The staff were very helpful - gave us directions, made and confirmed dinner reservations for us. The food for breakfast was better than I... More

Staying at the Santa Isabel was supposed to be part of a very special holiday for my husband aged 72 and for me celebrating my 60th birthday. On arrival direct from the UK we were told there was no record of our booking and the hotel was full! They did not have anywhere we could stay. Even after I produced... More
