Pros: Mercedes and Jorge are extremely helpful. They are very responsive via email for reservations and confirmations. Mercedes can book casas in other cities during your trip - she has a vast network of connections throughout Cuba. The casa location is terrific, it is in the middle of everything but not too crazy noisy/loud when you want to sleep. Rooms... More

We arrived on the 6th of April 2012 after having booked and confirmed 3 nights at casa Mercedes. When we got to the house she told us that there was a problem with the room and that we would have to move to another casa the next day. Sure enough, much like the other reviewers here, we were taken to... More

We booked three nights here in March, arrived the first night and were given a nice room with safe and bathroom - all clean. The Casa is really central and the area very safe. We went with Mercedes' recommendation for dinner - after eating in other places later in our trip we now realise that the food we had was... More

This house is overall really nice and I'd recommend it. The best thing is the location; it is around the corner from El Floridita, next to El Capitolio and the National Theater. You're right in the historical centre and all the tourist attractions are walking distance. The breakfast is really nice; it's the typical one you'll have in most of... More

We stayed here twice and were very satisfied. This casa is located parallel to the tourist street in Old Havana, so you can feel safe even late at night. The rooms are large and comfortable and the owners and their employees are very well informed, very helpful, and also very professional. They gave us advice on booking our bus tickets... More

I chose this casa after checking out the reviews on TA. Booked via email nearly 3 months in advance and received the confirmation within a day... All good so far! Received another email from the owner a week before my visit asking me to confirm my stay which I did. I then received another email to say everything was ok.... More

I stayed with Mercedes and Jorge in February 2011 and have no complaints. I was really pleased to have a safe in my room as loosing my money and/or passport would have been - well, you know - really bad! I felt safe there and liked being in the center of things; since I was a single female traveler, I... More

Casa Mercedes is an excellent option if you wish to stay in Havana Vieja on a budget - great for one night or if you wish to stay for a few days. It is an old apartment in the heart of old Havana, a few minutes walk from La Floridita Restaurant, Calle Obispo, market, the Central Park (Parque Central) and... More

This casa particular is the best I've seen in Habana by far, great location, reasonably priced, safe and welcoming. Greeted with open arms by Mama Mercedes and her husband Jorge, we (3 female travellers) were provided a large clean room with aircon, good bathroom facilities with bath/shower, hot and cold water. Breakfast is also provided as an option if you... More
