Great stay and calm moment of rest in the center of alive Havana. Great rooms, breakfast and very helpful staff. A Good start of Cuba Tour and getting to know... read more Havana Vieja. Rooms were high and stylish and great airconditioning. Also good help where to get what , as we were in some problems because of the not arrived luggage.

  Hostal Balcones Muralla is a wonderful and authentic place to stay in Old Havana. My room (‘Maurice & Carlos’) was beautiful and I loved the original tiles and sensitivity executed... read more renovations. The bar is fantastic, full of antiques and looking out onto Muralla and Aguacate. The breakfasts were the best food I had in Cuba. Every day you get bread, jam, coffee, fresh juice, an always beautiful vegetable dish, eggs cooked however you want, and even dessert! What makes this place so good is the owners and the staff who really care about what they do. Before I left for Cuba I was having WhatsApp chats with the owner who was advising me on how money works in Cuba (which is unique), getting to the hotel from the airport (they can arrange a taxi), and things I might want to do while I was there. The staff were all great and were very helpful in arranging transport for me around the country, advising on where to go and when, and even talking with me about the incredible history of Cuba and Havana. I was there over Xmas and New Year and on NYE they cooked a fantastic evening meal which we ate on the rooftop. The hostel is super central. You can easily get to anywhere in the old town by foot. Other sights and venues are a longer walk or a short taxi ride away. I would highly recommend... Hostal Balcones Muralla is a wonderful and authentic place to stay in Old Havana.

  Wife and I travelled to Havana for a couple of days from the US. We’ve heard great things about Hostal Balcones, so we chose them for our lodging. The staff... read more could not have been more wonderful. Everyone was super helpful, polite, and ensured you had everything you needed. Very clean accommodations and the location was perfect. I could not recommend a better private hotel to stay at in the area. Next trip we will definitely be coming back.

  We stayed at the Hostal Balcones Muralla for 5 nights and had an absolutely incredible time! Based right in the heart of old Havana it was the perfect base for... read more going out to explore. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, assisting in booking tours and trips, arranging airport pick up as well as giving recommendations to local attractions and restaurants. They helped us get access to local free Wi-Fi and were always around to answer our questions. Every morning started with fresh cooked breakfast with juice, coffee and local produce, absolutely delicious. The room was incredibly clean with a beautiful view from the balcony onto the street bellow.
Would recommend to anyone travelling or planning a holiday in Havana!
