Detailed Reviews
The house is lovely with a nice terrace. Room is big and cozy even with a refrigerator. Food is delicious and comes in big portion. Marieta and the rest of the family are attentive and friendly. They make sure you have a great stay in town. The day I left I needed to take an early bus and decided to skip breakfast. Marieta made me a sandwich and juice to take onto the bus for free. I would definitely stay with them again if I go back to Santiago.

I stayed here whilst doing my medical elective. I couldn't have wished for anything better. The whole family were so helpful and welcoming. They took me on outings, gave me advice about the city, helped me find my way around and cooked great food every evening. They made me soup when I was ill and gave me medicine. They even bought me presents when I left. The room was clean and beautiful and fully air conditioned. They have a beautiful roof terrace at the top where you can see the whole of Santiago. The location is right in the centre of town. I can not recommend them enough!

We spent one night at this Casa and were impressed by the cleanliness, and the friendliness and helpfulness of Marieta. The room was lovely and cool thanks to both AC and a fan and the fridge was stocked with cold beer and soft drinks....most welcome after walking the streets of Santiago. We had a long delay in our flight back to Havana and Marieta was most kind in allowing us to keep the room until we were finally able to depart All in all a pleasant, quiet place to stay, but still very close to the centre of the city.

My partner and I stayed for four nights in April. Whilst we only speak a little Spanish, I am able to understand far more.
The casa is well located close to music venues and a short stroll from a number of restaurants.
The room is adequate but by no means the best casa we stayed in during our month in Cuba. Breakfast is very good and served on the rooftop terrace.
Marieta seems nice but she is clearly a businesswoman (nothing wrong with that) and her motivation towards us was financial rather than the warm person portrayed in some of the reviews. We were never offered any suggestions on where to go or offered to eat dinner at the casa. Our final less than pleasant experience was when Ramon offered us a mojito on our last evening - we had just returned from having drinks and accepted only out of politeness. The mojitos were truly terrible - and we found when we left that we'd been billed for them!!
Whilst not a bad experience, it certainly fell short of the warm and friendly welcome experienced by some travelers!

You do not know how much I regret that you felt disappointed, that the expectations that you brought with respect to our Hostel were not fulfilled and I can really explain some things that we should have told you and we did not comment. In that week we had several family health problems that influenced our habitual behavior, as you hoped for everything you had read in many opinions of previous clients, which is what characterizes us. My daughter-in-law, who is the one who makes the food, was sick so we could not offer the usual gastronomic services, which we should have communicated to you. I was waiting for the result of some medical tests and I was worried. Of course that should never have influenced my behavior with customers and be as I am always a host that clients feel oriented and guided. I am very sorry for what happened and I assure you it will not be repeated, I hope someday you will come back and see that we are as the comments that you read say. I think the cause of all this was the lack of communication, that if we had explained what happened, you would have understood. Thank you for your comment that will help us to be better every day in our work. Greetings from Marieta and family.

Marieta and Roman were excellent hosts. This is a family business and you get to meet the family. We had a very nice room with great access to the roof top to see the sunset and have a panoramic view of the city. The location is very central and close to several plazas where we enjoyed spending time. There was lots of music and entertainment everywhere.

I recently stayed at Hostal Marieta for 8 nights & I felt so at home here I did not want to leave. Marieta is the most caring, welcoming & friendly host. She will do everything she can to look after you & make you feel comfortable. This was particularly important to me because I was travelling alone.
My room was absolutely perfect, clean, really good air-con, stocked fridge, a safe and a comfortable bed. The casa is in a perfect central location, but the best part is the amazing roof terrace which overlooks the City. I had breakfast & dinner every day on the terrace which I loved. Marieta’s daughter in law, Yanet is the most fantastic cook, the food she cooked me was the best I had in Cuba.
Marieta and her family are really wonderful people and I would not stay anywhere else in Santiago. I felt very sad to leave these lovely people and I can’t wait to go back. I would not stay anywhere else.

Hello Holly, what a joy to know about you and how good you felt in my hostel. You are also a very special, pleasant and communicative person who makes you feel and take care of you as a daughter, so I saw you. My family in general welcomed you as you deserved. Yanet's seasoning is very popular, he prepares his dishes with a lot of love and gives life to the food. Our rooms with good comfort and cleanliness as you say, are always ready to serve the customer and to feel satisfied. The location of the house helps a lot to move easily throughout the city and is very nice as you say breakfast and dinner on the terrace with a beautiful view of the city. We hope to have you soon in our Hostel. We remember you all with a lot of love, you are one of the clients that do not forget. Greetings and affection from Marieta and family!

Location was ideal for us to be able to walk everywhere. Our rooms were clean, Marieta welcomed us on arrival and ensured our needs were met. Ensuites in both rooms. Simple but elegant décor. Each room had a safe for security and doors could be locked. Great views of the city from the roof top Breakfast was served on roof top.

My husband and me have stayed 2 nights. Casa is well located on Calle Heredia. The house is large and very clean, the rooms are located on the second floor with comfortable beds. The owners are very hospitality, except Marieta, she is very warm person, like mama.The multi-level roof deck affords great views of the city and also houses the dining area and bar. The rooms are well insulated from street noise
