Some people call it a boutique hotel, others a hostal, we call it our new home in La Havana. We were wowed and delighted as soon as... read more we stepped into this magnificent place and never expected to be so pampered by each and everyone, Sarai, Juana, Mariela, Rolando, Aramis are the A-team, captained by beautiful Yamiley. We will fall short talking about our stay because we might leave something out so we will sum up our visit to Havana as glorious and our stay at Balcones Murallas as splendid and "counting the days to return". If you want to get a real feel for Cuba, La Havana and its people, you must stay at Balcones Murallas and experience it yourself. This place has everything... location, location, location, cleanliness, decor, attentive staff, good food, and a real taste of the city . The tableware and the mojitos teapots are delightful. Just go there!!! They will arrange everything for you, since arrival until the time that you are reluctantly ready to depart.

  We have been perfectly welcomed at the Hostal Balcones Muralla. We had Odalys room for a four days and it was really clean and very nicely decorated The hotel is... read more perfectly located in the old habana and closed to a lot of nice places! is a wonderful and authentic place to stay in Old Havana. Breakfast was unbelievable!!! The staff was really kind and helpful. We were able to leave our luggages during the day until late and they organized our taxi to the airport Thanks a lot for the excellent services

  Would definitely recommend this hostal! The building is beautiful, breakfast is delicious and best of all the staff are the loveliest of people! We want to thank Sarais and Aramis... read more specifically for being so kind, friendly and helpful to us with all of our questions. They really made our stay here special and are wonderful people!
The owner Richard is really welcoming and lovely and was a huge help so big thanks too!

Our one piece of general advice would be to make sure you bring lots of cash with you to Cuba! The exchange rate at the ATM here is so bad that you’ll end up paying 4x the price for everything!! More

  I stayed at this hotel for two nights before starting a tour around cuba. I cannot recommend it highly enough - the staff are all incredibly and made me feel... read more completely at home, from arranging my taxis, to helping with excursions and a welcome cocktail on arrival! The rooms are charming & clean and the location is ideal, you really feel like you’re in the heart of the community!

Food is unreal (I had dinner here twice!) & the chef was incredibly accommodating and was still able to provide the most delicious 4 course dinner without gluten or peanuts!

Breakfast is served in courses out on the balconies & really is lovely. I can’t wait to come back - thank you so much for such a wonderful start to my trip! More
