We spent 3 nights in this casa. The room is big and everything was clean. You have an own bathroom. The breakfast at the roof-deck was very good. The host is really kind and you can ask her if you need something, for example call a taxi. The position was ok, too. A walk to habana vieja (capitolio etc.) is about 25-30 min.

Thanks so much. Regards

Ubicación excelente a un paso del malecón y cerca de la Habana vieja si te gusta caminar.
La casa y habitaciones destacan por ser amplias , limpias y con tv, aire acondicionado, etc.
Especial mención debo a los anfitriones/as del Hostal, las cuales se han esmerado en que mi estancia en Cuba haya sido extraordinaria y especial. Te darán recomendaciones y lo que necesites para que tu estancia sea lo mejor posible.

Gastgeber höflich und nett, leider war es nicht das Zimmer, wie zunächst gebucht, es war auch keine Privatunterkunft, sondern ein Hostal

hallo
Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten, wenn die Unterkunft nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprach, das Haus jedoch kein Hostel ist. Es handelt sich um private und unabhängige Zimmer für jede Person, die auf der Website dieselbe Beschreibung findet.

Sono stata da Iris Eloisa per 4 notti con mio marito per festeggiare il mio compleanno ed è stata un’esperienza meravigliosa. Ma camera dove siamo stati era molto accogliente pulita e con tutto il necessario. Susy, la proprietaria, in particolare con noi è stata deliziosa e sempre disponibile ad aiutarci con il wifi, e a consigliarci i posti migliori dove andare a mangiare e a divertirci la sera, e anche per tornare all’aeroporto. ci piacerebbe tornare!

Our stay in Havana was for 3 nights 18-21. of july 2019. We were travelling as a family at 5. We arrived late . The host was not there,but had arranged the man from the top restaurant to let us in. Unfortunatley he did not speak any english and we no spanish. Fortunately gestures can do alot so we found out! The rooms were large and clean. Refrigerator with nice, cold still water,beers and soda. The aircondition in the first room were very noisy. The breakfast was fine and with plenty of it !! The daughter of the host arranged the transport for the next destination.

Die Casa liegt zentral im Stadtteil Vedado und somit sehr nah an der Uni. Für Studenten also perfekt. Das Zimmer wird jeden Tag gereinigt und wirkt sauber. Leider sind die Gastgeber Abends und Morgens schwer zu erreichen, deshalb nur 4 von 5 Herzen.
