“Delightful family, attractive rooms, good location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed here for 5 nights.
There was some confusion when we arrived and the room we had booked, with private bathroom, had been let out to someone else. We were not disappointed with the alternative room we were offered though, a twin with a shared bathroom. The room had no window (a tiny 'skylight' only) but had a grand, tall proportions and a handy fridge stocked with water and beer you could purchase for a fair price. The bathroom was tastefully tiled, spacious and spotlessly clean. Miriam's daughter said that we could have a discount to compensate for not having the private bathroom until night 3, when we swapped rooms. The next day she changed her mind and offered us a complimentary large breakfast as compensation for the room. We accepted this because a good breakfast is hard to find in Havana, it was quite tasty and well cooked.
We continued to have the bread and coffee smaller breakfast at Miriam's for the rest of our trip. Miriam's daughter helpfully answered all our questions and her father was very patient with our grammarless Spanish, and we managed to have several pleasant exchanges with him.

The location is near to the malecon, a short walk from Havana vieja and all of the tourist attractions in central Havana.

The only downside was no hot water and, in both rooms, very old and saggy beds that will not suit you if you are used to a firm matress.

We apreciate the reviews and opinions of our guest as it helps us to improve our services. We have changed the hot water sistem and replaced the matress in order to solve the problems mentioned by our guest . We hope our guest give us the opportunity to visit us again so his stay would be 100 % perfect as we will make our major effort to acomplish this.

“I can't wait to go back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2010

I had a wonderful stay. My room had a double bed, a nightstand, a table and a place to put my clothes. The ceiling was so high, making the room feel huge. I shared a bathroom with the guests in the room besides me, but never had a problem. The bathroom was large, new and clean.
I really enjoyed the neighborhood. While I didn't see many tourists I felt super safe walking, even at night (by myself). I loved sitting on the balcony watching children play baseball in the street and watching neighbors talk to one another. I was able to easily walk to Malecon and Old Havana.
When I arrived I asked for advice on where to take salsa lessons. Yali gave me an amazing recommendation. I ended up taking 2 hours every day for one week. I couldn't have been more happy.

I loved Havana, I loved staying at Casa Miriam and I can't wait to go back!

“Perfect location, great hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2010

Perfect casa style accommodation, centrally located. We spent 3 nights at Casa Miriam and pretty much did all our sightseeing walking from the Hotel. There are plenty good food and music options around and this part of central Habana is a bit out of the tourist hustle of the old town, yet only a 5-10 minutes walk away. Also very close to Malecon for an evening stroll. Our hosts advised us on restaurants and night life close by. A great place to start your trip to Cuba.

“A Great Place to Stay in Havana”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed here twice - on my way in and out of the country. My room was tasteful, clean and comfortable, no window or a.c. but with a fridge and a fan. Yali, the owners' English-speaking daughter, was exceedingly helpful at all times and her parents always courteous and friendly. The hostel is well situated for trips into the Old City or a walk along the Malecon and has a comfortable sitting room for guests complete with books, a piano and a T.V. I ate here one night and they were kind enough to source some smoked pork loin for me - a Cuban dish I wanted to try but hadn't seen on any menu - it was a very enjoyable meal.
Every other guest I met there had nothing but praise for the casa. Yali is a great asset to the place, especially if, like me, your Spanish is very limited. Also, unlike another Havana casa's owner, she always replied to my booking emails very quickly and professionally. Recommended.

“soddisfazione”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2010

Wonderfull people very helpfull and patience answering the 1000 question I made. I want to thank then for the support as my credict card ( note that ccards issue by north american banks does not work in Cuba) did not work so they borrowed me money for a couple of days. Miriam is a great cooker and her daughter speaks italian and english as well. The location is very centric. I walked most of the time. I really enjoyed Havana and can´t recomend Casa Miriam enough.
bath were very good.
