Nice older hotel (by Cuban standards). I had a room on the 9th floor. Room was clean and well maintained. The A/C was quiet and worked well in my room. The water temperature and pressure were also good in my room (but I was usually showering after 10am daily ... so maybe there are issues with earlier time if more people are taking showers). The hotel is set further out from the old part of Havana but it is easy to get to many places in Vedado, Centro Habana and Habana Vieja. Its a good quieter place to stay. One observation I had though, is that there is a primary school right beside it and the children start gathering, playing, laughing, shouting outside the school by 8 am daily. I heard them with my windows closed on the 9th floor so I suspect the sounds are louder on the lower floors on the same side of the building. The food was adequate but I wouldn't consider it exceptional. The daily breakfast buffet had more than enough choices and was kept well replenished. I found the evening dinner buffet to be okay but pricey for what was available. Nice terrace to sit on in the breeze and have a coctail, listen to music and watch the world pass by. Overall a pleasant stay. [Details]

Quiet location removed from the tourist area hustle and bustle
The weak points
Needs a bit of refreshing. School next door could be a problem if you do not want to be awoken early by the children.
