Das Eigentum — Altos 307
Altos 307 is a compact three-star guesthouse on the top floor of a restored Vedado apartment block. The lobby feels like a friend’s sunlit sitting room: pale terracotta floors, a rattan sofa, and a ceiling fan stirring the warm air. It suits independent travellers who want a quiet, walkable base near the Malecón without the clatter of Old Havana.
Chroniken von Havana
Havana was founded in 1519 by Spanish colonisers and grew into a key Caribbean port for treasure fleets. Its Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a dense grid of Baroque and neoclassical buildings, many slowly being restored. The 20th century brought Art Deco and eclectic architecture, especially in Vedado. Today the city runs on a mix of state socialism, small private enterprise, and a resilient, resourceful culture. Music, classic cars, and a constant coastal breeze define daily life.

Vollständiger Havana-Guide →Die besten Monate
December to April: low humidity, clear skies, and cooler evenings. January’s Jazz Festival adds a cultural highlight without overwhelming the city.
Peak / Festival Surge
January is peak season due to the International Jazz Festival and mass New Year tourism. Hotel prices can rise 20-30%, and advance booking is essential. July’s Carnival also spikes demand.
Budget Schulter Saison
May and October offer lower prices and thinner crowds. Rain is more likely but usually comes in short, heavy showers. The city feels more authentic with fewer foreigners.
Wetter & Verpackung
Havana in July is hot and humid with a daily high around 32°C and a high chance of late-afternoon downpours. Pack light cottons, a raincoat or compact umbrella, and strong SPF sunscreen.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Havana
- New speed bumps and traffic controls have been installed along the Malecón to reduce accidents—watch for sudden braking by local drivers.
- The 'Casa de la Música' in Vedado has reopened after renovation, offering live salsa and timba most nights.
- July 2026 sees the Festival del Caribe running in nearby Santiago de Cuba, so some Havana hotels may fill with domestic visitors mid-month.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Altos 307, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 to 5 facing the inner courtyard or back of the building, away from Línea street. These floors offer a balance of quiet and ventilation, as the lift noise is less noticeable above the second floor.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 and 2, especially those facing Línea. Street-level rooms suffer from traffic noise from the main avenue, and ground-floor rooms may have less privacy due to foot traffic. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor, as the old lift can be clunky and audible.
Best views
Rooms with a side or back view offer a glimpse of residential Havana rooftops and less traffic. Front-facing rooms on floors 4-5 overlook Línea, giving a view of the lively avenue and old cars, but with noise trade-off.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 are the quietest, given the building height and typical 3-star Havana layout with 5 floors. Higher floors reduce street hum but still within easy stair access if the lift is unreliable.
🔊 Noise notes
Línea is a main thoroughfare with buses, taxis, and occasional honking; noise peaks in the morning and early evening. The lift motor is audible in adjacent rooms, and street-level bars or shops may contribute to late-night sounds.
Insider tips
1) Check in early afternoon to secure a courtyard-facing room, as walk-ins are common. 2) Pack earplugs if you choose a front-facing room, as Havana's street life is vibrant but loud.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top-Attraktionen in Havana
💡 Go early (8-9am) before tour groups arrive. The adjacent Museo de Arte Colonial costs a couple of CUP but gives rooftop views of the plaza for free once you're inside.
💡 Start at the Hotel Nacional end, walk east towards Havana Vieja during late afternoon when the breeze picks up. Watch for crumbling seawall sections after storms.
💡 Take a bus or taxi from central Havana (about 15 mins). No security or fences around it; it's a regular neighbourhood park. Best visited late afternoon when it's cooler and the sun makes the bronze glow. The nearest cafe sells decent iced coffee.
💡 Skip the overpriced audio guide. Bring small CUP notes for the locked donation boxes in some rooms. The Granma Memorial outside (the yacht used in the 1956 landing) is free to view through the fence; you can see it from outside the museum grounds.
💡 Arrive by 8pm on Thursday or Friday to avoid huge queues. Pay in CUP at the door if you have it; the card machine sometimes fails. Check their Facebook page for schedule changes.
