In love with Havana and Hostal Balcones Muralla! - We had such a great stay in Hostel balconies Muralla. felt like home. No matter what time - day of night - the stuff was always there to help us.... read more Breakfasts were unreal - so tasty. I am actually making them now at home:) beauty and comfort. I will be back.

  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.

  I couldn't make a better choice. The interior and rooms had lots of charme, I immediately fell in love with. The breakfast was more than I could ever ask for... read more and when you order a cocktail in the evening you won't be disappointed. The staff made my stay really exceptional. They are very helpful and good to talk to. It was very fun when staying at the hotel. The Hostal has a very central location in Old Habana to get to the most important sights in walking distance.

A big thank you to all of the crew for having me, it has been a real pleasure!
