Very nice looking house that is located only a few minutes walking from the Viazul bus station. The room was very big and clean and the house has a nice terrace of the roof.
Luis is a great host who not only brought me breakfast at 6:30 but also walked me to the bus station and showed me both the location of where the bus departs and the location to get my boarding pass (the bus station is kind of a maze when you are not familiar with it). He also gave me some very nice advice about what to see and where to eat. I recommend this casa to everybody who is visiting Pinar del Rio, especially when they arrive or leave by bus.April 2019
This is perfectly located homestay right in the heart of the town. Our hosts could not have been more helpful, providing restaurant recommendations and helping out with money changing and transport.

Great Casa! Sleeping in an old traditional Cuban house in the center of Pinar del Rio. Very close to busstation (Viazul). Luis gave us a lot of useful information. We made a tour to "Hombre Habano" and enjoyed this visit (tabaco farm) very much.
Fijne Casa! Wij waren de enige gasten (2 kamers) en hadden het hele huis voor onszelf. Prima gelegen, in het centrum en op loopafstand van het busstation. Luis spreekt goed Engels en geeft veel nuttige informatie. Wij hebben via hem een toertje geregeld naar een tabaksplantage ( Hombre Habano) Dat was geweldig! Niet zo toeristisch als Vinales, echt een aanrader. De koelkast is gevuld met bier, water en limonade tegen zeer redelijke prijzen. Ontbijt is ook prima. Aanrader!

We've had a very nice stay in Luis his casa. Also enjoyed the fresh lobster very much! The room was comfortable and beds were fine. Location is very near to center of the city.

We highly recommend Luis Guillermo’s place if you are planning to stay in the city of Pinar del Rio. The location was central, safe, and at a walking distance from local attractions, such as the “Francisco Donalien” tobacco factory and the “Guayabita del Pinar” liquor factory. The place itself was super clean, comfortable and provided plenty of privacy. Luis Guillermo was a fountain of information about the area and Cuba as a whole. His level of service exceeded our expectations. He walked us to the Viazul bus station to make sure that our reservation to go back to Habana was correct and arranged a taxi to take us to Vinales and its main attractions. The breakfast that was offered and served was delicious. We felt pampered and appreciated.

Dirty apartments, the host is not nice and didn't help with the city.
Host reply
Lamentable la opinion de Raphael que no es cierta.
El apartamento estaba impecablemente limpio.
Raphael y su compañera fueron recibidos un jugo natural de guayabas frio como cortesia y bienvenida de la casa.
Se les explico la localizacion de la casa en la ciudad y se les recomendo un restaurante para que cenaran.
Se les brindo y lo tomaron gustosamente un desayuno a cada uno comprendido dentro del precio de la habitacion y sin costo adicional.
Fue incomodo poder cobrarles porque a pesar de haber estado de acuerdo en el precio acordado cuando reservo la casa, quiso pagar menos y NO queria pagar consumos adicionales en los que incurrio.May 2017
Nice place and escpecially very kind and hosts. Also good location. Have to recommend! :-)

Nous sommes restés une seule nuit à PINAR DEL RIO. L'habitation de Luis Guillermo est sur le boulevard en plein centre ville, l'habitant n'habite pas sur place, et il peut y avoir des nuisances la nuit, de la musique très très fort pendant des heures dans la rue. La maison est relativement confortable, une petite terrasse sur le toit qui permet d'être un peu au calme, un réfrigérateur bien rempli, mais une salle de bain décevante, et la ville a finalement peu d'interet touristique.
Nos alojamos una noche en Pinar del Río. La casa de Luis Guillermo está en el bulevar en el centro de la ciudad, los habitantes no viven en el lugar, y no puede haber una molestia en la noche, la música muy alta durante horas en la calle. La casa es relativamente cómodo, terraza pequeño techo que puede ser un poco de silencio, una nevera bien surtida, pero decepcionante cuarto de baño, y finalmente la ciudad tiene pocos interés turístico.
