“You get what you pay for - an experience!"”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2011

Having stayed here for a total of 7 nights on both arrival and return from Cuba (6 in and 1 out), it fitted perfectly with my needs.... a bed and a shower! It is right in the middle of downtown so exactly where you want to be if you want to experience "real" Cuba. The staff were utterly delightful and it's cheap... cheap, cheap, cheap (at the time I stayed in June 2011 cheaper than all casa particulars) If you get to know the staff, you'll be in for a riot of a time!
Amenities wise... well, there's a toilet which might flush properly, air con which is a god send after trekking around the city for hours in the sweaty heat and a lovely cool/luke warm shower to wash the exhaust fumes from your hair. I didn't try the breakfast.. what's the point when you can get a coffee and egg bap around the corner for 10p! Whilst I was there, they were refurbishing the 9th floor bar area and are putting in a sun-lounging area (if that's what you crave) which will be pretty decent by the look of it. It still has one of the best views of Havana city from here though - on a truly clear day you can see Miami 80-ish km away! Say "Hola" to Albita, Juan Carlos, Mario and grumpy Ernesto!

Room Tip: If you get put in one of the pokey interior rooms, just ask to move; the hotel is NEVER full! And bu...

“I cannot rank this highly but it was perfect for my requirements”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 June 2011

A very tired hotel with not great rooms or toilets. It was probably the worst hotel I stayed in whilst in Cuba but generally you always get less for you money in big cities anywhere in the world. I chose to go back before I flew and I would probably choose it as my hotel again of on the same budget. You get what you pay for and this is good value by Havana standards!

“Great Location, good service...skip breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2011

This is a great location for a hotel in Havana...its not in the tourist area, so a lot more Cuban style. The rooms were fine, the beds were clean, and the toilets were clean. The showers had great pressure (unlike the rest of cuba) and the staff always cleaned the room well. We stay for three nights at the start of the trip and really enjoyed it, close to Capitol and old havana. The bar was great (open 24 hours) and the drinks were cheap.
Breakfast, give it a miss!!! We found down the road towards the Captiol building was a pizza shop called Bombay pizza there were $1 each and great value.
Loved this place...we will be going back

“very very cheap dont expect alot”

we stayed here at the recommendation of a canadian couple we met on the bus journey to Havana, we hadn't booked anywhere and wanted something cheap.
when we go there you can tell at some point during it long life this must have been a very nice Hotel, it's very run down now.

we booked a room for 3 which was on the 8th floor and was a 2 room suite, and paid £70 for 2 nights so very cheap. we didn't have hot water which we had been told at check in. the view from the roof bar is fantastic and worth the stay. the area the hotel is situated in is very run down as well so if you are not an adventurous traveller i wouldn't stay here.

the staff don't speak much if any english we were luck that the bell boy who did speak english helped us when we checked in.

all i would say is this is not a hotel for people who want 5 star hotels with exceptional service. it a place to stay and see the real havana

do not go there, dirty bed lines, disgusting breakfast (we also had to wait almost one hour to get a coffee) people unfriendly, we got to pay to leave our luggage only for one day before taking the airplane, a friend has been snatched just outide the "hotel", better to sleep under a bridge
