Hostel Park View is an AWESOME casa to stay in while visiting Santa Clara. Miguel and his wife are really great people. Even though they speak no English and my Spanish is limited we were able to communicate with each other. They did everything to make my stay a wonderful experience. Hostel Park View is located right on the main square overlooking Parque Vidal and is central to anything in Santa Clara. You can easily walk anywhere. Breakfast was excellent and I also had dinner the first night with some soup that I will never forget it was sooooooo good! My stay happened to be during the funeral procession for Fidel Castro from Havana to Santiago. His remains passed through Santa Clara on the morning of December 1, pausing at the Provincial Palace next to the casa. I had an AMAZING view from my balcony as the procession passed directly below. I had made plans two weeks prior to Fidel's passing and everything just feel into place for me to witness Cuban and World history! What an experience, nothing I will ever forget. In my travels around Santa Clara I saw many other Casa's in which one could stay, but nothing comes close to the beauty, location and comfort that is Hostel Park View. I have made new friends in Santa Clara! Mucho Gracias hasta que nos volvamos a ver Miguel! Jimmy Helena, Montana USA
