  Lovely, friendly hotel in heart of Old Havana - We stayed at Hostal Balcones Muralla for 4 nights. We loved the charm and character of this lovely old hotel, and the location right in the heart of Old Havana... read more was perfect. Sarai and her mum, Tony and the other staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We loved having breakfast overlooking the bustling street below every morning, and particularly enjoyed Sarai's mum's delicious omelettes.
We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to soak up the authentic feel of Old Havana.

  my wife and I stayed here for 5 nights (first booked in 2019, cancelled and rescheduled twice due to Covid, Richard was always in contact via email, WhatsApp and messenger... read more while we waited to travel and honoured the room price from 2021 and upgraded us to biggest room). We had a huge bedroom and a big lounge area, lots of space. Balcones is a wonderful restored colonial building in the heart of Havana Vieja minutes from Plaza Vieja and lots of restaurants and cafes. Richard and all his staff are amazing and go out of their way to ensure a good stay. Breakfast is excellent (fruit, bread, vegetables, eggs) and the 3 course dinner we had here (€35 for 2) was very good. They have a lovely dining/bar area where you can sit and relax with a drink. No problems booking city tour or collectivo taxi on to Vinales. As Balcones is an old building in an old part of Havana there were some issues, the water pressure was poor in the shower, our bed was not the most comfortable. It is certainly the attention and hospitality shown by the staff that make Balcones a great place to stay in Havana More

  I stayed here with friends for 2 nights in May 2022. So glad we chose this hotel which has been lovingly restored and is perfectly situated to explore old Havana.... read more Rooms were full of character. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of fresh coffee. The staff were super friendly, helpful and attentive and went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable. They organised a classic car tour for us which was excellent and taxis to restaurants and the airport. Overall a much nicer experience than staying at one of the bigger hotels and I would not hesitate to stay here again! Best of luck for the future, Derek. More
