We were placed in this hotel by Air France for one night because our flight had been cancelled. The buffet dinner and the breakfast buffet were shameful. The staff does not care whether bowls and plates are empty and the buffet is a mess, and this is not improved if the guest asks politely for it. The quantities seem only... More

We spent a week at the Melia Habana in April 2013. It was our fourth trip to Havana and Melia Habana is our best hotel so far. The hotel is very nice, the rooms are large, clean and comfortable. The swimming pool area is very nice too and it is possible to sit under palm trees further away from the... More

I've just returned home from a 2 week visit to Cuba,the first 4 nights being at the melia habana. The hotel is very nice, the rooms were large.there was a sea view which was good too. The reception staff I found to be a bit miserable except when we first arrived. The grill chef in the hotel Alberto was a... More

This was a very nice hotel situated in a good area. We had a lovely room overlooking the sea and on a corner spot so quite large (mind you we did pay for an upgrade). The hotel, as previously said, is about 20 mins out of town and although there is a free shuttle bus, the frequency of them could... More

The staff were very welcoming and we found chocolates and a bottle of champagne waiting for us in our room. The room was clean and had a beautiful view of the ocean. . There was entertainment in the bar each night of... More

The Melia Havana has a beautiful facility. It is well built and the rooms are ample and clean. This hotel is located in Havana's fanciest neighbourhood . It is an extremely safe area as many embassies are in the immediate vicinity, located in the expansive mansions of the old Cuban aristocracy. Getting downtown will cost you about $10-$15. The all...

The hotel itself was more than I had anticipated. This was our first trip to Cuba and I was told not to expect much, from other people. You have to remeber we are not in North America where our standards are higher. The hotel lobby was spacious and air conditioned. We arrived on one of those inexpensive Sunwing Charters where...

OK so you're going to Havana then stay in Havana! This has a great pool but is 20 minutes outside the main tourist attractions of Havana. You'll need a taxi or use their free shuttle bus to get into Havana. If you can live with that journey out then it is OK as a base. If the weather is fine,... More

I went back on a trip to visit family so I stayed close by in the Miramar neighborhood where I grew up. We had a rental car so it took us less than 20 minutes to get to "Old Havana" and other points of interest. The hotel has a shuttle bus that leaves at different times during the day and... More
