  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.

It is a genuine, renovated, Old Havana building but certainly not over-renovated, retaining as it does, genuine Havana character. Location is excellent, all the main sights within walking distance (for us 70 year olds). We were two floors up in a property with very high ceilings but no problem as staff carried our baggage up and down. Our room was large with two floor to ceiling double shuttered doors/windows each with a small balcony. Some rooms have a slightly larger balcony allowing for two chairs and a table. Air-conditioning was quiet and effective when needed. During the day, being in the heart of the Old Town, it could be fairly noisy but amazingly quiet when it mattered - at night.
Breakfast was a set one delivered course by course (five, I think) to your table which can be on one of the three small balconies overlooking the active (people not traffic) street below and it was excellent.
Finally the staff. They were exceptional, several spoke good English and could not do enough to make your stay a success. We had a couple of personal problems and Chris in particular was brilliant at helping to sort these out.
Bottom line - 5 stars well deserved.
