Cuban apartment
Everything was amazing. It was a nice Cuba apartment . It was definitely hard to find the first day . But other than that amazing . The water view is amazing . Everyone there was amazing and nice the whole stay . They even helped us with taxis and using their phones. The WiFi Service is crap . Don’t depend on it .

The property was clearly not as advertised in the pictures. Maybe the pictures were old, but the rooms bathrooms and pool were clearly in need of repair. The electrical cord on the air conditioner was pulled out. The bathroom toilets and shower or not clean. The bed sheets and comfort were wet because of humidity and the lack of air conditioning. Overall, I would never rent a casa particular or any similar room ever again.

Not good at all
Upon checking in, they did not know the room they were going to give me. ITS A CENTRAL HOUSE WITH 4 rooms, sharing common areas, which one I was unaware of. The owners phone number posted on the site was disconnected. The shower water pressure was dripping. The sheets made me itch. Location is good, amenities are horrible.

The Habana Vista Outhouse would be a better name.
To be fair it does have a great view and a reasonably nice pool. What it doesn't say is all the things it really doesn't have. Like hot water - or water in general. Bathrooms are atrocious. AC is really bad - either all on or all off and only one room. There is no food, no coffee, no water, no glasses, no INTERNET what-so-ever and the list goes on and on. No one speaks a word of English and the key system and elevator are down right scary. It's also way away from popular places. Don't stay here...

The pool is nothing like the picture it was cloudy and greenish color. There was no tv or radio. The bathroom toilet was closet and nothing went down and a cap came off the the bathroom was flooding. Then the sink was clogged and the water wouldnt go down. And there were huge water bugs. Definately wasnt a penthouse as described. It was just a room upstairs from someones apt.

A little complicated...
Very nice staff. The ‘contact to arrange arrival’ isn’t a great system. No e-mail, and contact phone number did not connect. Went Thru’ Hotels.com to get another number to reach someone to talk to someone else to come downstairs to let us inside. Returned next day from walk and no one was home, so we stood in the hallway waiting until someone returned to buzz us in to apartment. Apartment is very clean, but furnishings are rather faded and worn.

I traveled from Chicago, USA to Habana last February 2018 & stayed for 5 days. I cannot tell you enough how amazing the staff was to us. There were two ladies who made the entire stay wonderful for us. They were super friendly & anything we needed they would get for us. They made breakfast for us (cost about $10CUC per person) The breakfast was simple, natural juice,

Trust my review
Take note that this place is located in a shared home! Two other couples that we spoke to there were just as shocked as we were. You do have a locked room and your own bathroom, but will need to be let into the house by a buzzer. With that said and despite the initial shock, we were pleased by the friendliness of the hosts, along with their willingness to help with our every need. The place wasn't quite as clean as we'd like, but that seems to be more of the norm with Cuba in general, than a reflection of the property itself. I see reviews complaining about the location, but a little research goes along way. I was personally content with the location as it's close to the ocean, US embassy, parks for WIFI, good restaurants and the hotel national (shows, taxi service, money exchange, food, etc). If it's the cost and views you're interested in, it's close to impossible to find another property overlooking the ocean, especially at this price. So any short falls you have with this place can easily be overlooked.

Extremely Overpriced
This hotel is extremely overpriced. First, it is an old building with no maintenance. The elevator is very old. Secondly it is not a hotel at all. There is not an official front desk where travellers can ask for help and services, although there is a door man which only serves for opening the door for you. Specially when you are traveling to Cuba, a country with so many different systems, a helpful front desk staff is really needed. In terms of the cleanliness, obviously they didn't mop the floor of the room. The bathroom is especially dirty. There is a very bad smell in the toilet. In terms of the location, it is next to the Malecon so has a good view, and is near the Hotel Nacional. But it is very far away from the tourist places, like Old Havana. Overall, this place is very overpriced. For the same price, you can stay at some much better 4-star hotels nearby like NH Capri. Or some boutique hotel in Central Historic Havana which provide much better service and rooms with much better conditions like San Lazaro 115.

This overpriced private house that Expedia makes it appear as a hotel in their listing is located in a very convenient touristic, relatively cheap area. The building is in a very noisy corner and the apartment that comprises 4 rooms is at the top of the building but the noise starts at 5 AM. Excellent and helpful staff, food overpriced, pool very old-fashioned although all kept in a good condition. Bath linens outdated, bathrooms separated by an upper glass, so you can hear the other guests bathing or if you climb a bit might even have a look at them. Won't recommend as it is very overpriced and one can find accommodation of the same kind for much less money if looking at websites that sell rooms in private houses.Overpriced even considering Cuba's Casas Particulares' reality. Okay for a night stay if you have no other option or a quick business trip. Close to the EU embassy but remember is Cuba!, probably the only country where the american embassy is not in a nice area
