    The oldest hotel in Cuba, it is still one of the best.

    What it lacks in the opulence and modern amenities found in the seaside resort hotels it more than makes up with bags of character and it's superb location.

    The lobby area certainly evokes the colonial period, whilst the bar area is a riot of over-the-top decoration not dissimilar to a London Gin Palace of the Victorian era.

    Due to the age of the build, the bedrooms sometime lack the polish of more modern places, but the plumbing and air-conditioning works well (at least by Cuban standards)

    The rooftop bar is a great place to relax, and they sometime put on dancing and serve cocktails the equal of anywhere on the Island.

    The cafe area on the front of the hotel is also a great place to watch the world go by, although true to colonial times (and some may have a problem with this) Cuban nationals are clearly unwelcome.

    This hotel has retained it's 19th century atmosphere

    Despite the english name the architectural elements and decoration are pure Spanish

    Style and location....the hotel is idealy located rigth in the heart of Havana, in front of the hugely popular Parque Central, next to el Gran Teatro and 2mins walk to el Capitolio.

    The hotel is a slice of Cuba's Heritage as it's the oldest hotel in town, over 120 years old, and is considered as a National Monument. The mixed style of rococo, baroque and colonial makes it even more exceptional.

    You have an amazing view of Havana from the rooftop bar and the streetside terrace is a must for those who want to see the bustle of the city while drinking the best mojito in town and listening to the brass band.

    Rooms and bathrooms are a bit dated (to remind us that we're in a monument ?) but spotlessly clean and the airconditionning was slightly noisy.

    The service was good and the staff was really friendly and helpful.
    Good breakfast in the morning.

    To sum it up, a "must stay-in hotel" and I won't go to any other hotel next time I'm in Havana !

    A National Monument that was built in 1875. It was visited by the famous and a number of notable Cuban politicians. Jose Marti gave his independent speech here in 1879.

    Richly decorated interior contrasts its plain exterior, with beautiful iron fences, intricately carved ceiling, colourful mosaics and grand arches.

    Not much I can say about this hotel since I only visited the lobby and the restaurant.

    Although we didn't stay at this hotel, we were inside the place so many times that I felt a review was in order. The hotel, built in 1875, is a national monument with elegant colonial decor. There are historic photos in the lobby that illustrate the hotel's history and celebrity patrons, interspersed with stained glass windows and Cuban art. The rooms are simple and cozy.

    There is a great Internet cafe on the main level, as well as a terrace bar and grill on the roof and a great patio. There are 3 places to eat in total in the restaurant, and the cafe-style restaurant has beautiful tables, each painted by a local Cuban artist. The location of this hotel couldn't be more central; next to Paseo del Prado and Parque Central, a 5 minute walk to El Capitolio and Gran Teatro.

    We stayed here twice during our Jan 09 trip to Cuba. The central location on the Parque Central at the top of Obispo is right in the heart of Old Havana, ideal for visiting Havana Vieja. As others have stated it is the oldest hotel in the city and quite frankly it shows in the bedrooms. The public areas are very lively and really evoke the feeling of a colonial era and are well kept, however the rooms, at least the ones we stayed in (211 front & 219 side) do suffer from the problems of faded grandeur; doors that don't fit, windows that don't close, dim lighting and generally a gloomy ambience to the rooms. The bathrooms work as does the aircon. The rooms are well tended and the room staff are cheerful and helpful and do a good job of keeping the rooms clean and tidy, and have excellent skills of towel origami. I can't recommend it if you are a light sleeper; life outside goes on around the clock with something of a lull between 3 and 6 in the morning.

    We had pre-booked our stays for arrival and departure and if you’re thinking of staying here I'd suggest you do that as the cost as a walk-in customer is almost twice that available on any internet booking sites that we looked. We found out mid way through our visit when we returned to Havana for one night and were going to stay here; we had paid the equivalent of $68 on-line but they charge $120 walk-in and would not entertain any sort of discount and would only take cash no credit card or only very, very reluctantly with an 11.82% surcharge. For that night we went to the next door Hotel Telegrafo, a very recently modernised hotel with whisper quiet aircon/climate control and tight fitting double glazing and had a wonderfully tranquil nights sleep for an extra $40.

    The original internal décor and architectural details. Rooftop terraces restaurant with views over the city. The outside cafe/restaurant with live music and great atmosphere. The excellent location. The room balconies do give a good vantage point from which to observe the city life below.
