“Perfect casa to explore Old Havana!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed at this casa for 3 nights in December 2011. We originally tried to book another casa, which was full and were referred to this casa instead. Well, we are so glad that happened, as this was the best casa we stayed in Cuba (we stayed in 3 casa particulares and a hotel during our stay in Cuba.

The location is perfect for exploring Old Havana area - just a stone's throw from Obispo Street and very convenient for sightseeing etc. There are lots of bars and restaurants around as well.

The room was big enough and the bathroom was very clean, which is a luxury in Cuba.

The owner Raydel was so friendly - he helped us find a place to stay when we changed our plan and needed to stay for an extra night in Havana (as his place was full) and even walked us there to make sure we got there OK. He also let us leave our luggage at his place for 2 days while we visited other places in Cuba.

This is the fist casa we stayed in Cuba, and I could not have had a better start of our holiday!

Would Definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Old Havana:) Great value for money.

Really nice and super clean place to stay in the heart of old Havana. I definitely recommend it. The owner is lovely and very helpful. The location is perfect, the price is very good and it is the quietest place we stayed in. I would go back there for sure.

Not only I was made felt like at home but also safe and comfortable. Raydel and Luisa made every possible effort to please us, they gave us many pieces of advice about the city and the Cubans. Breakfast was excellent, lunch and dinner made at request too. Very clean and fully restored. They made our first trip to Cuba truly unique. Can't wait to go back, gracias!!

Room Tip: All very good

“Stay in this casa instead of a hotel - really worth it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

Stayed August 2011 for 2 days. The rooms are spacious and very nicely decorated each equipped with a working air condition. They have windows in the inner court but that in Havana can be considered as an advantage since you don't have voices coming from the street or unpleasant smells. The bathroom was a pleasant surprise because in comparison with those we saw in other casas and hotels it was brand new and very very clean. Rooms were very clean as well. The whole place definitely has style and it cannot be better situated. Only a few steps away from the Old Havana which is really was is worth in Havana and also very close to Centro Havana where you will find all the sights worth visiting. I would definitely recommend it without any second thought as very nice and convenient place to stay in Havana. Food was ok, breakfast was way better, get it! General tip: Avoid hotels, stay in casas. The first two nights of our trip we stayed in Hotel Park View and the last two here. I'd give 2* to the hotel and 4*+ to this casa. Owners very helpful as well. Don't make the mistake and book in advance your whole stay in Cuba. Book just the first 2-3 days and then the owners of the casas will guide you...
