If you are looking for a stay in a good location, well taken care of, and amazing service... look no further! I stayed in CASA HABANA with my friend in Havana for her birthday for two nights. From the moment we arrived in this casa particular, we were impressed. The beautifully decorated casa with colonial style ceilings and beautiful artwork surrounded us everywhere.
Everyone in the casa (the owner and the workers) were so friendly and hospitable. They even got my friend a birthday cake and gave her flowers on her birthday! The cook in the house makes healthy and delicious food ranging from chicken to seafood dishes, as long as you give then a few hours notice that you will be eating there.
The bedrooms were comfortable and clean, with lots of space if you are planning on staying long. There was plenty of opportunity to mingle with other house guests on their one of a kind rooftop patio, also furnished beautifully, where we enjoyed authentic mojitos and cuban beers! The view on the roof tope overlooks the lighthouse along with old Habana. You can watch the sunset as well if you are of that kind ;)
All the staff was extremely friendly and were glad to be of help, if you were interested in knowing more of Old Habana. They recommended great restaurants (affordable) and places to walk and see.
My friend and I cannot stop raving to our friends here in toronto about our stay at this house and we recommend it highly to those looking for a real Cuban experience. If you are the talkative and conversational kind, this is a great place, as well, if you are looking for more privacy, they will offer you that silence.
Thanks to everyone at Casa Habana for an unforgettable time in this historic city. We will definitely be back and this time for longer!

The first 3 days in Havana.
The house is nice and beautiful decorated. Good location (as all other casas in Havana Viaje).
But the service is very very poor and a little bit rude. The breakfast is always the same - eggs and no fruits. The diner you can choose from the same manu and be sure if you asked fish, it will be made the same as yesterday or the day before. For every additional cup of coffee you'll be charged.
We made the reservation for 3 nights, but at the first night we asked about possibility to stay one more night. They said OK. No problem. But the last day (3rd) in the evening they told as to take all our things and to go to another casa, because they got new client who is going to stay here for 4 nights. So - 4 nights is better then ours 1. We didn't say a word, just took our bags and went to another place.

Never again especially when there are so many nice and worm casas.
This was the only bad experiment in our 3 weeks journey.

Casa Valdez was by far the best casa particular I stayed at during my month in Cuba. The house is stunningly decorated making you feel like you have really arrived in what you imagined Cuba would be! The rooms are small but lovely and all have air-con. Breakfast was delicious and laundry can be arranged. The location is brilliant- you are a few short steps from everything you want to see and if you want to go jazz it up in Vedado in the evenings you can just grab a taxi, although there are plenty of bars in Habana Vieja. Dinner was delicious and generous. Rooms are cleaned daily. Emilio and the other people working there were all friendly, helpful, warm and welcoming. The terrace roof top upstairs is great for warm evening chilling out.

I travelled to havana with 2 other female friends. Once we arrived at casa valdez (25cuc by taxi)we had the typical query over rooms booked which seems to be common practice in havana. It just required a bit of haggling with emilio the owner of the property who had basic english.
The room with a double and single bed (decent quality) and ensuite shower room cost us 30cuc per night. Breakfast was 3 cuc and included eggs, bread,freshly made fruit juice etc.
Prepare yourself to take at least a day to accomodate to your surroundings and you will see that this is actually a very high class casa and in such a brilliant location it would be hard to beat. It is very safe, has a safe in the room and has a locked front door and buzzer system to the property. It is cleaned daily and the staff are incredible,so friendly and very very helpful, they go out of their way to accomodate you and are very flexible.You can cover the vast majority of sights in havana on foot from here and immerse yourself in the culture,music and dance. We felt extremely safe in the city and did not feel at risk even when walking home after late night outs. Enjoy havana- you cant fail to!
