Das Eigentum — Casa de Andrei
Casa de Andrei is a classic Havana casa particular—think high ceilings, vintage tiles, and a rooftop terrace where you can catch the evening breeze over the Malecón. It’s less a hotel and more a family-run guesthouse, so expect personal attention from the hosts rather than a reception desk. The USP is location: a restored colonial building in Centro Habana, a 10-minute walk from Old Havana’s Plaza Vieja. It suits independent travellers who want an authentic, budget-friendly base without frills, but value a clean room and a strong coffee in the morning.
Chroniken von Havana
Havana was founded by the Spanish in 1519 as a port for treasure galleons, quickly becoming a strategic hub in the Caribbean. Its architecture is a layered mix of Spanish Baroque, Neoclassical and Art Deco, reflecting centuries of colonial wealth and 20th-century American influence. The 1959 revolution halted new construction, leaving a frozen-in-time cityscape that’s now being carefully restored. Today, Havana is a UNESCO World Heritage site struggling with crumbling infrastructure yet buzzing with live music, classic cars and a resilient, creative energy.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Havana-Guide →Die besten Monate
November to April: dry season with clear skies, temperatures in the mid-20s°C, and fewer hurricanes. March is especially good for Carnaval de La Habana (though crowds build).
Peak / Festival Surge
December to February is high season: Christmas holidays, dry weather, and festivals like the Havana Jazz Festival (January) push hotel demand. Casa particular prices in July you’re visiting are moderate—peak-season rates apply to the winter months, not summer. July is actually quieter for tourism because of heat and humidity, so you might find walk-in deals.
Budget Schulter Saison
May and October are the true sweet spots: May has warm weather but lower humidity than July; October is post-hurricane peak but before winter rush. Both offer 20-30% discounts on casas and thinner crowds.
Wetter & Verpackung
Havana’s climate quirk is the sudden, intense rain squalls that pass in 20 minutes even during the dry season. Pack a compact umbrella and 100% cotton clothes—synthetics stick in the humidity—plus a light sweater for air-conditioned indoor spaces.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Havana
- The Malecón seawall is undergoing phased repairs along the Vedado stretch—some sections fenced off, but access to Centro and Old Havana remains open.
- Cuba’s ongoing fuel shortages mean taxis are scarce and unreliable; book a colectivo (shared taxi) via your host or use the old American cars that run fixed routes (10 CUP per ride).
- New direct flights from Miami resumed in early 2025, but check visa rules—tourists need a tourist card (T4) obtainable at the airport or online.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa de Andrei, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third floor facing the inner courtyard. This gets you away from street-level rumbles and the first-floor reception traffic, and the 3-star building likely keeps courtyard windows more shielded from exterior noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor — they sit directly above the lobby and any ground-floor service areas, plus street noise from Freyre de Andrade filters up through the entrance. Also avoid rooms facing the front street, especially below floor 3.
Best views
The best view is from a top-floor room (likely floor 4 or 5) facing the street — you’ll look over the rooftops of Old Havana and see patches of the Malecón or old colonial façades. But only choose this if you’re noise-tolerant; trade-off is live music and traffic rumble.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are your quietest bet. At 3 stars, the building probably has 4 or 5 floors max — upper floors lose foot traffic and lift noise, and the courtyard should be quieter than the street side.
🔊 Noise notes
Freyre de Andrade is a central street in Old Havana — expect: honking taxis, rumbling classic cars, tour-bus idling outside, and nearby bar music until 1-2 AM. Weekends are louder. The hotel’s 3-star build means thin window glazing won’t block much.
Insider tips
1) Bring earplugs and a travel white-noise app — street noise is inevitable, even on quiet floors. 2) Check if the hotel has a rear or courtyard-facing window: better sleep quality, but you’ll lose the view. Ask at check-in if a courtyard room is available.
- 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.
