Our Hostel is an apartment that consists of several rooms. Each one with all its amenities, some with private bathroom and others with shared bathroom. Ideal for couples, travelers, gay-friendly.
The team works 24 hours a day and is concerned that the client is totally satisfied with the treatment and service provided there. We provide services such as washing, breakfast, lunch and dinner, all at very reasonable and acceptable prices. We are located in the very center of Vedado, near the Plaza de la Revolución, the Omnibus terminal, Calle 23, the Callejón de Hamel, the Capitol in Old Havana in short, everywhere from our apartment on client can perfectly walk or take a taxi. Our hostel is located in a very safe and quiet area. Here we have a person who, if the client wishes, can help by recommending the best sites throughout Cuba and also help them with the planning of their state in our country, we also have a city tour service "walking around the city" through the sites most emblematic of the city (Vedado or Old Havana).

 We wait for you !!!

    She did meet us at bus station but is was a long 2 + blocks to walk. When arrived no blankets on bed as laundry day was the next day. No warm water for showers or in the sink. The next morning when asked for a coffee it was cold and added sugar. Could not speak any English and did not want to use Google translate. Would not recommend unless can speak Spanish and don’t mind cold water and coffee.

    Hola buenas tardes, es una lástima q existan personas como usted, le respondo a su evaluación, en principio para venir a un país de habla española hay q tener un mínimo de conocimiento del lenguaje o traer medios q le posibiliten entendernos aquí el Internet es lento, siempre le explique q la distancia de la terminal de buses sl hostal e de 2 o 3 minutos q es como a 2 escuadras y no es lejos. La habitación estaba con más de e sábanas a parte para su comodida y las mantas habían dado usadas el día anterior a su llegada y estaban en lavado. Si tenemos agua caliente no c pxq no la encontró y se puso a tocar el resto de las pilas, sin cuando les explique bien a su llegada donde estaba la misma..El café lo pidió sin especificar no obstante se le preparo otra tasa y se lo tomo enseguida, diciéndome q este si estaba bueno. No sigo enumerandoles, trate de ser servicial y cortes con ustedes pero nada q hice les fue satisfactorio, no importa su opinión cuando hay muchos otros turistas muy agradables y es su opinión la q cuenta y son muchos. Yo tampoco las recomiendo a otras personas.

    Trato muy cercano y agradable.
    Nos proporcionó un taxi de recogida del aeropuerto y también de regreso.
    Además estuvo muy atenta a nuestras necesidades y nos supo indicar muy bien como planear nuestro viaje para sacarle el máximo partido en los pocos días que estuvimos.
    Sin dudarlo volveremos.

    Agradecida por el recibimiento en Cuba de gente tan especial. El alojamiento no es de grandes lujos pero está limpio. Josefina es una gran anfitriona y su hija Claudia un encanto. Me alegró que nuestra familia estuviera entre la suya. Repetiría!

    Las habitaciones son muy limpias, el desayuno es bueno y copioso. La casa esta situada cerca (5 minutos a pie) de la estacion Viazul, lo que es muy conveniente.
    Josefina y Saraï son adorables y nos ayudaron mucho con sus buenos consejos. Un gran gracias a Saraï por su gentileza y sonrisa.
    Recomiendo mucho esta casa !

    Very nice hosts, welcoming. They gave us a map of Havana and Havana vieja with a lot of nice recommandations of restaurants, monuments, night life and so. Very appreciated. Nice rooms, clean, with towels, climatisation. Overall, good value for money (except breakfast). Bathrooms with a strong chemical smell but otherwise ok. Good location next to viazul to visit the Havana (but quiet far from old Havana). Breakfast not very copious for 5 cuc. No fresh juice. But it can be also an advantage if you always eat too much. Also, don't buy water at the casa but instead at viazul (cheaper). Try to organise yourself, it's easy to lack water in Havana. Also, She offers to buy a box of cigars for 50€ instead of 13€ if you go directly to the shop. Be careful. Same for the taxi, it's very easy to find one by yourself at viazul and to discuss the prizes there.
    You don't have the key for the main door. You have to ring a belt. But they're always someone to open.
    Appart from that, we had a lovely stay. I would recommand it if you have already visited Habana vieja but otherwise I advise you to take a casa directly in Havana vieja.

    Hello
    We really are very happy and satisfied to have met people as nice as you, hopefully repeat the visit, but we would like to rectify some details.
    Regarding breakfast, we offer varied and very fresh breakfasts, whenever you conclude you were asked if you had been satisfied and always said if, even every day you chose to have your breakfast at the Hostel. The water issue is not mandatory consume it In the hostel, but if you want to take it in the hostel, at the moment, cold and without having to go looking for it on the street, we have our price to provide the service quickly.As for the smell in the bathroom, it gets smell more than anything for hygiene, but it is optional, you can remove it. Regarding the key of the Hostel, since you and your friends arrived you were notified that no key was delivered, you can make your entrance at the time you want, that is not a problem, you can ring the bell and immediately a person opens the door for them ... And as for the cigar and the taxi, regarding the cigar you could always have acquired it in the store and preferred the one here and as for the taxi that price we do not put it, it is the price set by the airport cars.
    You wanted a hostel near Viazul and in the center of Havana, if you want a house in Old Havana you can always select it there but Old Havana is next to it, it is not the center.
    Many greetings and hopefully see you soon

    The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They recommended us lots of nice places, like Restaurants etc. The only thing that we didn't like that much was that we didn't have a key to the Appartement but only to our room. So we always had to ring the doorbell even if we came home in the night. There was always someone at home, so it was not a big problem but we prefer to have our own key.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
