Best Hotels in Havana Cuba (2023)

Best hotels in Havana Booking Tips & Essentials

In a hurry ? Read this first :

• Best hotels in Havana Vieja North : Casa Vieja Hostal, Hostal Valencia, Ambos Mundos, Hotel Conde de Village Nueva
• Best Luxury Hotels in Havana Vieja: Hotel Inglaterra, Hotel Sevilla, Hotel Parque Central,
• Best Hotels in Havana Vedado : Hotel Capri, Hotel Havana Libre, Hotel Melia Coiba, Hotel Presidente
• Casas particulares (rooms in private homes) are the most economical solution in Havana and the rest of the country, although they are much more expensive than elsewhere in Havana. Approved Cuban families are allowed to rent only two rooms per house, with a maximum of two people per room, unless the third person is a child.
• Average Prices for hotels in Havana : 25 to 50 Usd
• Best booking platforms in Havana : Expedia or Trivago. Booking.com has almost no offer in Cuba. AirBnb is best for Casas Particulares.
• How to get the best prices for hotels : It is better to book online. Suprisingly, they charge up to 25% more when you book onsite in all Cuba.
• Tips for booking Casas Particulares : Beware of the so-called “jineteros”: the scams are numerous. As in all the cities of the island, Cubans will approach you to take you to a particular casa. These “jineteros” in Cuba receive a commission from the owners of the guesthouse when they bring tourists to the guesthouse. In other words, your night will be automatically increased by 5 CUC, or even much more! So there is no point in following them.

Charming Hotels in Havana Vieja north

La Habana Vieja – north and south – is the district that arouses the most enthusiasm when visiting Havana, even if one can find fault with the overly “licked” aspect of some places (especially Plaza Vieja).

The accommodations we have selected will guarantee you an ideal location to visit the city.

Casa Vieja Hostal

A kind of mansion with 3 rooms on the ground floor and 7 rooms upstairs almost all with balcony.

They are comfortable, decorated with sobriety, offering moreover a beautiful height of ceiling.

On the terrace, there is a bar-restaurant in the old style, full of charm, ideal for a refreshing break at the end of the day.

Don’t miss, at the entrance, the room that exhibits the works of contemporary Cuban artists.

Hostal Valencia

An old small palace built in the 18th century for the Count of Sotolongo: wooden ceilings, wrought iron balconies, a real little gem.

The Hostal Valencia is actually the same hotel as El Comendador.

The two have two different names because the prices of the Valencia are softer.

The same establishment, with differences in the standing of the rooms: a real puzzle!

From your balcony you can almost shake hands with the neighbour across the street: 12 of the 14 rooms overlook the narrow Obrapía street.

As far as the restaurant is concerned, the Valencian-style paella is not very copious, but delicious: the chefs (including one woman) have won two international competitions.

La Paella Restaurant (from noon to 10 pm) and on the first floor, the Casa del Tabaco (from 10 am to 8 pm) and the bar-cafeteria.

His room, No 511, preserved as it is, has been transformed into a mini-museum (visit possible every day from 10 am to 5 pm.

Cheap Hotels in Havana Center

If the hustle and bustle and noise don’t scare you, staying at Centro Habana will put you in the heart of the city, in the most popular area of Havana.

The architecture is less smooth and more heterogeneous than in Havana Vieja or the Vedado: ruined barracks are next to well-kept and well-kept houses.

This is the place to be if you have a thirst for authenticity and wish to share the daily life of the Havanese.

In a large apartment in the heart of Centro Habana, you will live locally with a welcoming family

And this will help you to become better acquainted with Cuban culture

If you don’t speak Spanish, your hosts speak English as well.

However, we regret that the owners of the casa are away for several months of the year, as they leave the keys of the house in the hands of moderately friendly staff, who will give you a cold shower on arrival…

Best Charming Hotels in Havana Center

Casa 1932

Our favorite at Centro Habana ! This sublime colonial house built in 1932 (hence the name) but very well restored and with a green patio, contains 3 bedrooms with private bathroom.

The owner, Luis, is warm and will be at your service

For the record, his grandfather, of Palestinian origin, fell in love at first sight with a Cuban girl, and he came to live with her in Cuba in the early 1950s…

The decoration remained as if frozen at that time, just before the 1959 Revolution

And a crazy charm emanates from the place! You will find many antiques in the living room but also in the patio like those metal panels of Coca-Cola pubs or this old bathroom scale that still works.

Not all of these antiques belonged to the family; it is Luis, a great lover of antiques, who acquired most of them and he will be delighted to present his impressive collection (photos, sculptures, vases, coins…).

Thus, the photo of Frank Sinatra at the Hotel Nacional, just before his concert, on the occasion of the Cuban mafia meeting, is simply collector’s item.

As for the rooms, they are spacious and the furniture refined

They are all equipped with fridge, safe, air conditioning and fan

One of the three rooms, called “Louis XVI”, is the “deluxe” room of the casa.

Tastefully decorated, it is decorated with huge mirrors and a complimentary bottle of wine awaits guests.

It’s a real little love nest

The breakfast is gargantuan (with pancakes and peanut butter, extremely rare products in the casas!) and the meals delicious

They are served in the pleasant patio, or in the cosy lounge near the entrance

An exceptional address.

Good to know: The owner of the casa also organizes themed guided tours of Havana aboard a superb American car

Among the tours offered, two are very popular: the “Art Deco Tour” (an overview of all the Art Deco buildings in the capital), or the “Mafia Tour” (which takes you to the main sites of the Mafia’s glory days in Cuba)

Count 35 CUC per person.

Best cheap hotels in Havana El Vedado

A neighborhood of well-to-do families in Havana at the beginning of the revolution, the Vedado is still a residential area today, even if the activity, day and night, is increasingly important.

Calle 23, also known as the Rampa, is one of the most lively avenues in the capital.

Bars, cabarets and nightclubs abound there.

But the Vedado and its more recent extension, the Nuevo Vedado, have seen more and more bars and clubs since Raul Castro’s reforms, which allow individuals to legally establish their own establishments.

It is therefore the entire Vedado that tends to be lively in the evenings and not just La Rampa, as has long been the case

For those who like to go out, this area is therefore a good base camp for playing night birds.

But, rest assured, the Vedado remains a very quiet area to sleep and in the casas you will not hear the slightest noise because the places to go out are never nearby.

There are many special casas in the Vedado, especially in front of the university; on Calle 21 between Calle J and Calle O or on Calle Linea.

Camilo Martinez Finlay

Three double rooms, completely refurbished with bathrooms where the water pressure is good, in a superb colonial residence

You will love strolling through the Andalusian-style patio decorated with refined Sevillian mosaics.

The high ceiling decorated with beautiful mouldings gives the house even more cachet, and how not to fall blissfully in admiration before the imposing period chandelier in the living room.

The big plus of the house is also the warm welcome of Camilo and his father, an octogenarian with impressive dynamism; this retired Cuban ambassador has travelled a lot, he is an encyclopaedia in his own right.

Best charm Hotels in Havana El Vedado

Apartment Derita Paula

2 double bedrooms completely redone and perfectly equipped with TV, air conditioning, a mini-chest, a new bathroom with good water pressure, and an ultra-modern kitchen (with oven, hob, microwave) in a nice independent, bright apartment with large cupboards and a nice terrace, all located on the 2nd floor of a house.

You can rent the rooms alone or the whole apartment with the two bedrooms, which is perfect for a family with children or friends.

If you have a smaller budget, you can also rent the apartment on the ground floor for 20 CUC per night, but the comfort is lower than the one on the 2nd floor because it has not been refurbished.

Rita Paula, the owner, lives on the 1st floor of the house and is at your disposal.

Her son, Elio, who speaks French, is a self-employed driver with an official licence. He can show you Havana by car and drive you wherever you want for a good price.

Please also note that the apartment is located in a residential area of Nuevo Vedado, a little out of the center, so it is better to have a car for shopping and sightseeing, or to use Elio’s services.

Another possibility: Elio puts at your disposal a mountain bike for 4 CUC per day, but it is important to park it in the bike parks in town so as not to have it stolen (the padlock is not enough because thieves are equipped) otherwise you will have to pay it back.

He also rents a motorbike at 20 CUC per day (beware of theft too)

Finally, you will appreciate the calm that reigns in this area

It is, in short, a good address.
