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.

  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

  This little hotel does everything right! Richard & his staff went out of their way to provide advice, recommendations, book transport etc. They made my stay in Havana very efficient.... read more The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed. All rooms have windows (with shutters) and balconies which allows for great airflow. Note that a lot of small hostals/B&Bs in the old centre have only interior windows. The breakfast is about 4 or 5 courses, and beautifully prepared and presented. The location was fantastic, walking distance to all the main sites in the old city. But most of all the staff (Chris, Johan, Jose) all seem to really care about providing the very best service!

  The coolest place in Havana - Great staff, great location and a really cool building from the 1800s full of old stuff. Best place to meet like minded travelers and grab a drink and hang... read more out. The staff were super helpful and recommended us great things to see and do in the local area. It is a 5min walk from everything that is worth seeing in the old town.
