very hospitable hostess, helped literally with everything concerning transport, excursions, currency in this unusual country. Very beautiful modern apartments equipped with everything necessary. In the huge room there was a safe, TV, air conditioning, towels, soap accessories, a private bathroom with a large mirror and various devices. Cleanliness and peace for little money. Super!

6/10 Good

Two vertical flights of stairs, for a heavy suitacase is not ideal. The bed was like sleeping on barbwire. The shower barely had water. The plus, the air conditioner drowned out any noise for 1km

Excellent room, very clean, close to the center. For me, Cuba was one of the most beautiful experiences. It was made even more beautiful by my acquaintance with Elaine. Very helpful, warm person, she helped us a lot! Gracias por todo :) Vasso -Giorgos Greece - April 2023

2/10 Poor

The check-in experience is terrible, the corridor is very narrow, and a bottle of mineral water costs 100 US dollars
Wei, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Based in Centro Havana, the place allows for one to be part of the community.and experience the laidback culture. The home has a rooftop which is spacious, I enjoyed watching the sunset later in the day, one can enjoy a drink too and enjoy the view of the surrounding community. It is a blessing on very hot days! My room was satisfactory with a built-in air conditioner. My favourite aspect of my room was my bed, I at times contemplated waking up😅. Lovely and friendly staff. Overall I would return.
Athenkosi, 26-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The best place we could have possibly stayed. It immediately felt like a little home. Our host gave us advice on us travel to and from all of the places we wanted to visit. She was sweet and just a phone call away every time we needed a little help. We had so many conversations with her where she taught us about the country and culture. The neighborhood is calm but a little loud with music and cars passing by and locals living just next door but that makes it beautiful—we really enjoyed it. Just a short walk away from some great food. The best part is that it isn’t close to any hotels so, unlike other places, there aren’t people waiting outside to try to sell you a tour or cigars. This will be our go-to place on our next visit. I couldn’t recommend it more for a fantastic Havana experience.

8/10 Very good

Bu casa iyi bir tercih
İyi yönleri; - merkezi konumda - çok temiz bir yer - ev sahipleri çok ilgili ve yardımcı oluyorlar. Modeline ev sahibi, sorunsuz havaalanı transferimi ayarladı - colonial tarihi bir bina, giriş merdiveni biraz dik ve dar. Benim için sorun olmadı - Havana’dan dönüş yolunda kalmak için gene Espanola yu tercih edeceğim. Tavsiye ederim. Olumsuz olarak; - duvar tipi klimanın sesi gece kullanırsanız rahatsız edebilir. Ben kulak tapası ile çözdüm, sorun olmadı .

Reseña para Madeleine, Administradora del Hotel Como administradora de este hotel, Madeleine fue en todos los sentidos una presencia excepcional. Su amabilidad y su disposición para ayudar destacaban cada día y creaban un ambiente cálido y acogedor para todos los huéspedes. Siempre recibía a cada persona con una sonrisa genuina, demostrando un interés auténtico en las necesidades y deseos de quienes se alojaban, y gestionando cada detalle del hotel con un esmero y una dedicación que verdaderamente se notaban. Madeleine siempre se mostró increíblemente servicial. Se aseguraba de que cada solicitud fuera atendida de inmediato, haciendo que todos los huéspedes se sintieran bienvenidos y comprendidos. No había necesidad que fuera demasiado pequeña ni problema que le pareciera difícil; siempre encontraba una solución o ofrecía algún consejo útil. Incluso en momentos de mucha actividad, lograba mantener la calma y transmitir una sensación de estabilidad y seguridad que hacía que los huéspedes se sintieran en buenas manos. La amabilidad de Madeleine iba mucho más allá de lo común. Con su habilidad para encontrar algo positivo en cada situación, inspiraba y motivaba a todos en su entorno. Esta energía positiva era palpable y contribuía a que cada huésped se sintiera especial y valorado. Era una excelente interlocutora, siempre dispuesta a escuchar y mostrar empatía, lo cual generaba confianza y hacía que todos se sintieran realmente en casa.
