The Ambos Mundos is a quaint little hotel in the old havana. We did our own excursion from Varadero to Havana by bus ourselves. The hotel has such an amazing history and atmosphere. The room we had was small but had so much character . The bar downstairs made the best mojitos and daquiris. The 2 days spent here were... More

My husband and I were less than satisfied with our resort in Varadero and decided to hop the local bus into Havana to explore. We planned on spending a few days but had no reservations. We found it very easy to navigate around Havana with very limited Spanish and after a nice lunch in the old city we started looking... More

We (group of 6) visited Havana after Cancun, Mexico and were very disappointed. Maybe disappointed is a bit too strong word since I’m glad that I’ve been there, but definitely this is not the place where I will return and not the place I would recommend – maybe only for 2-3 days max. First we had to wait on the... More

i have to say that giving a score of poor as opposed to avarage for this hotel was down to the attitude of the staff. When we arrived we asked if we had a balcony room as we requested when we made the booking in JANUARY !! only to get a shrug of the shoulders, and a NO the hotel... More

Hotel Ambos Mundos is strategically located in the old city near the Plaza de Armas. The hotel is surrounded by wonderful old Havana and close to many good dining options. While the rooms might be described as average - the hotel does manage to exude charm. My room was large and clean and situated on the corner of the building... More

Stayed here for 2 nights, more than enough time in Havana. This hotel has a very nice lobby area and was the only place we saw in Havana that sell chips and a burger... The rooms were very basic. If it is only for 2 nights would not put me off but if you are used to nice hotels I... More

A nice hotel with a rememberer of Ernst Hemingway.It´s well situated in the center of Havanna. Only you have to walk the last 100m.The style is old Cuba but the rooms are clean. More

I fully enjoyed my three-night stay at Hotel Ambos Mondos. It has a unique enchanting atmosphere that must be experienced. The wrought iron cage-like elevator (with operator!), the high ceilinged palmed lobby, the rooftop breakfast terrace ... are all priceless reminders of Havana's glorious past. The Hemingway Suite is worth a visit, where his typewriter and many other personal effects... More

after reading the reviews we were a little uncertain - but I say just enjoy the atmosphere of the place. it is a one off, there is nowhere I have ever been that is quite like it. We felt safe, the room we had was basic but full of character, we fell asleep listening to the sound of the piano... More

We recently spent 1 very uncomfortable night in this rip-off hotel and it was one of the worst hotels I hve ever stayed in. The rooms can only be likened to a mental asylum with lumpy old beds and old mutsy bedding. The room itself smelt damp and the doors would not open or close properly. The bathroom taps leaked...
