Havana Hostels

We rested in Cuba in April 2023. Booked one night in this hotel for 10.5tr. During the trip, it was necessary to shift the booking dates by one day (we really wanted to get to the Tropicana cabaret show). The Trip service fed promises to resolve the issue within 24 hours for three days. We did not receive a clear answer whether it is possible to change the dates of the booking. We had to book a second night for the date we wanted. This reservation cost 11.5t.r. the difference in price was attributed to exchange rate fluctuations. At the time of check-in, it turned out that the first night was paid for only one person, although two people were billed when booking. And the second night is booked for two persons. For the first night it was necessary to pay 85 €. In a word, I do not recommend using this Trip.com service. Now about the hotel: a huge disadvantage for the Russians is the inability to use cash. The whole hotel works only with cards. Russian cards naturally do not work, the Mir payment system has just begun to be introduced in Cuba. Accordingly, we could not use the restaurant, bar, pool. In general, the hotel is not bad for Cuba, the only thing that was very embarrassing was the peeled tulle. Well, right at all, with a tuft of thread on the floor.

I had a good experience staying at this hotel last time, so I decided to stay here this time. Although the hotel is a bit old, I really like the design style of this hotel. It is scattered and free, overlooking the blue sea view and passing through the green shade of the courtyard. Of course, the richness of the hotel buffet cannot be compared with domestic hotels, but compared with other places in Cuba, I am satisfied.

There is a sightseeing bus stop near the hotel, $10/person There is a shuttle bus to the airport for $5/person. The exchange rate at the hotel is bad 1:120 Exchange with the security guard for 1:200 no napkins A 1.5 liter bottle of water is provided on the first day of stay The next day I started buying a bottle at the bar for 400 pesos. It is recommended to live in the old building as it has more heritage than the new building. Very close to the Hemingway store where Gou Huan checked in The classic car distribution center is also near the hotel. The swimming pool on the eighth floor is nice but the facilities are old. Even if the air conditioner is turned off, there is still noise

Good breakfast, good service, location of the hotel is by the sea, both sides can see the sea
