If you are looking for the perfect boutique hotel in the heart of old Havana, look no further! The staff is the best and available 24/7! They will... read more go beyond the extra mile to make you feel at home, show you where to find the hidden Havana gems, and arrange excursions, meals, and rides to get there. And their amazing breakfasts on the balconies are the perfect way to start each day. Bravo to Richard and the entire team at Hostal Balcones Muralla!!

We had a excellent breakfast every day, with coffee and juice, vegetables, bread, marmalade, cheese and eggs madein every way we wanted.
The stuff is very nice and helpful.
Most of the sightseeing places are reachable in walking distance. A lot of restaurants and bars are around, for covid they were all cclosed, but the stuff organised take away for us and made delicious cocktails at the hotel bar.
We will get back to this place when covid is over and enjoy real Habana life there. We recommend this place for having a great time in Havanna! More

  Four of us stayed here after trekking for a week in the mountains. It is well located, comfortable, with air condition and easy access to the old town etc.

I recommend it and hope that you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

  We've been back from our wonderful five-day stay at Hostal Balcones Muralla and through our sadness we resolve to return, and soon.

Five perfect days for two New Yorkers... read more in Havana. Think of our joy to spend hours leisurely gazing at the passers-by on the lively street below. We grew to love the sound of the city. We learned to identify the uniforms of the children on their way to school. We watched with great interest the sales progress of the fruit and vegetable merchant outside the door. Such a lively and colorful atmosphere!

It wasn’t guaranteed to be a perfect trip. My husband had misgivings about traveling as an American in Cuba. He even bought a money belt for the trip. Needless to say, it was a wasted $15 dollars that could have been much better used in support of the amazing, loving, and generous Cuban people.

Yonis, Cristobal and Jose, the three gentlemen who run the hotel, meticulously ensure the happiness and comfort of all of their guests. We started each morning with a delicious 5-course breakfast. Fresh fruit, toast with topping, salad, egg, followed by dessert. But their kindness and attention does not end at breakfast. No question was beyond their breadth, doors were opened always with a smile - like we were family, and we revelled in the recommendations, opinions, small-chat and anecdotes they offered us about Havana. Precious gems of wisdom.

The place is charming and maintained with great care and love. You experience the true atmosphere of the town in all of its hues and history.

We will be back. And we would never consider staying anywhere else.
