Very comfortable and spacious, with a nice and big breakfast available. The host helped us a lot with arranging taxis to and from the airport, and the room was nice and quiet at night so we were able to sleep well.

The casa is in a good place. 20 minuten walking to Havana Vieja'. 10 minutes to Malecon. Close to Wifi hotspot. We didn't see the hosts on the Photo, but we saw the daughter, Susie most. She made us a good Breakfast. Speaks reasonable English and she was very helpful.

Abbiamo alloggiato da Iris Eloisa solo una notte. La stanza era molto pulita e con tutti i comfort indicati nella descrizione. L'alloggio si trova a due passi dall'Università dell'Havana, in una posizione molto comoda per visitare a piedi il Vedado e per raggiungere il Centro. Inoltre, la zona è molto vivace e la sera si possono trovare molti bei locali dove cenare e trascorrere una bella serata. La colazione, che viene servita sul terrazzo, non è inclusa, ma è molto economica per la varietà e l'abbondanza di ciò che offre.

Gracias por todo, fue muy bueno conocerlos y poder hablar un rato. Feliz navidad. Auguri. Saludos Susy

Wij zijn hier drie nachten verbleven op het einde van onze trip door Cuba. Tegenover andere hostels/casas vonden we ze hier minder betrokken. Bij aankomst kregen we wel goede uitleg. Vedado is +/- 3 km wandelen van de oude stad. Het hostel ligt wel in een rustige zone.
Hygiëne kan beter. Er was wat schimmel aan de rand van de douche. Ontbijt was genoeg, maar geen wauw. Ook hier aandacht voor hygiëne. We kregen vuile koffiemokjes.Host reply
hallo, hartelijk dank voor uw mening, we zullen proberen de gevonden tekortkomingen te corrigeren ... verontschuldig ons echter voor het ongemak.
