Casa Carmen was excellent! My wife and I stayed here with our two young children. The hosts were very accommodating to our needs, provided great suggestions, and were overall kind people. We enjoyed our room with air conditioning, a fan, a bathroom, and a shower with hot water. We also loved our breakfast each morning, which included a variety of fruit, bread and jam, eggs, and coffee. They also restocked our fridge with soda, beer, and water. All the sites were also in walking distance. It is in a great location with a wonderful view. I would recommend staying here. We want to come back and stay at Casa Carmen.

Great location in Havana. The family are lovely and were really helpful with social events and places to go. Breakfast was great and they were really welcoming on arrival. There is a breakfast room with a balcony where you can see the Capitol building. Great little place with 50's furniture and a eclectic style from different eras. There are a few stairs to climb but not too bad. Would highly recommend and hope to return one day.

Excelente!!
My family and I had an excellent stay at Casa Carmen. We booked one night there to explore Old Havana and head to the airport for our flight home the following day. We arrived and were warmly welcomed by Guillermo. Our room was exactly what we needed, clean comfortable beds, warm shower, WiFi access and AC. We had been in another part of the country for 5 days without any of this and were in need of these comforts. Since we only had one night left in Cuba we did not need to exchange money but our hosts were prepared to help us with that. Once we were settled we ventured into Old Havana. Guillermo had excellent recommendations for restaurants nearby. In the morning he and his lovely wife prepared a delicious breakfast of eggs, fruits, bread and coffee. We wanted to explore more of the city before heading out to the airport but it was raining. We couldn’t let that stop us. Our hosts were kind enough to lend us their personal umbrellas. Our flight ended up being delayed but we were blessed to have been at Casa Carmen because they graciously accommodated us. We never felt rushed to leave. Once we were ready to head to the airport, they arranged for the taxi. The taxi price was the same if we had gotten it ourselves on the street but without the hassle. If you have a chance to stay here, you will not regret it. You will feel like you’re at home, protected by family that will help and guide your stay.

Casa Carmen is located about 1 1/2 blocks from the Capitolio in old Havana with its aging historical buildings, steep staircases, and long-term resident families. Casa Carmen is on the second floor of a 3-story building. The rooms are simple and immaculate. It is the real Havana! The owners, Guillermo & Seny, are friendly and welcoming. We spent quite a bit of time just talking with them about their lives. Breakfast consisted of egg, cheese, fruit, bread and delicious Cuban coffee and was cooked to order during a two hour window each morning. We ate on a small balcony overlooking the street where we watched the city come to life. Our experience was entirely positive and I recommend Casa Carmen to travelers who are seeking a true Cuban experience.

Awesome stay with an Awesome Family!!!!
Casa Carmen is located in a perfect location close to the Capitol, Chinatown, and Havana Vieje. Guillermo and his family were extremely helpful and welcoming during my stay. They were able to give me the do’s and don’ts of Cuba for a first time traveler. They ensured that I had a nice breakfast every morning and ensured I was properly accommodated when traveling to Varadero. I would highly recommend staying with them.

Guillermo and his family were really great to me and provided a lot of assistance with tips and advice regarding Cuba, which you need, once you arrive there. He made sure I was prepared for what to expect during my trip and look out for. Lovely morning breakfast was available too. Very close to Old Havana, just next to it and close to all other main tourist spots. Definitely recommend staying here.

Carmenn was an excellent hostess. She assisted with our laundry. The room assigned to us was clean. For those who dont have issues with cats and dogs in your living area, you have no issues. We had issues with this and was unable to partake of the free breakfast. She assisted with sim card and booking Taxis and accommodation in Vineles and Varadero.
