Das Eigentum — Casa Ojeda Inel
Casa Ojeda Inel is a functional three-star guesthouse in Old Havana, with a quiet courtyard and simple rooms that feel more like a friend’s spare flat than a hotel. The lobby is a tiled entrance with a small reception desk and a few plastic chairs, the vibe is no-nonsense and efficient. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean base within walking distance of the Plaza Vieja and the Capitolio, and who are happy to trade frills for location. The USP is straightforward: it’s affordable, central and you’re out exploring, not lounging.
Chroniken von Havana
Havana was founded in 1519 by Spanish conquistador Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, and its deep natural harbour made it a crucial stop for treasure fleets. The old city core, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, mixes baroque and neoclassical buildings from the 16th to 19th centuries. After the 1959 revolution, much of the architecture decayed, but restoration in the last two decades has revived the colonial heart. Contemporary Havana is a tense blend of faded grandeur and slow reopening: vintage American cars cruise beside Soviet-era Ladas, and the air smells of salt, coffee and petrol fumes. Its cultural identity swings between nostalgic reprographics of Hemingway and the live pulse of son, reggaeton and street art.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Havana-Guide →Die besten Monate
November, December and March – these are dry and mild, with temperatures around 24–27°C, lower humidity and fewer tourists than peak summer or Christmas. Daytime walks are comfortable, and evening sea breezes are steady.
Peak / Festival Surge
July brings the intense heat and the founding celebrations of the Fiesta del Fuego (Santiago de Cuba’s festival, but Havana feels the energy) and local school holidays. Hotel prices can double, and the city feels full. Humidity often hits 80%, making sightseeing exhausting.
Budget Schulter Saison
May and October are quieter and offer discounts of 20–30% on accommodation. Weather is still warm (27–30°C) but with occasional rain showers that clear quickly. Fewer cruise ships dock, so Old Havana feels less cramped.
Wetter & Verpackung
Havana’s climate quirk is the sudden, intense afternoon downpours even in the ‘dry’ season, so always carry a small umbrella and a light waterproof jacket. Pack only cotton and linen clothes, plus one smart-casual outfit for nicer restaurants – men should bring a polo shirt, not a tie.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Havana
- The Malecón seawall is undergoing a phased repair project on the section near Vedado – expect temporary closures and detours for pedestrians through to late 2026.
- Several new private paladares have opened in Centro Habana, including a rooftop spot called La Guarida del Sabor on Calle Neptuno, offering decent local food without tourist markup.
- The queue for the official currency exchange (CADECA) at the airport has shortened since the government eased restrictions on personal imports, but always bring cash euros or US dollars (with no frayed notes) as card acceptance remains patchy.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa Ojeda Inel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the inner courtyard, away from Santa Irene street. These are high enough to avoid ground-level noise but still within the lift's range (if it works).
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the entrance or reception — they pick up street noise from Santa Irene and foot traffic from guests coming and going. Rooms directly above the bar or dining area (if present) can be noisy until late evening.
Best views
This is a 3-star in central Havana. Best view is from a front-facing room on floor 3 or 4 looking onto Santa Irene — you'll see a typical city street with life, but nothing spectacular.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are likely the quietest, as they're above street level but not top-floor (which might get heat and odd hours from rooftop).
🔊 Noise notes
Santa Irene is a relatively narrow residential street, not a main artery. Main noise will be local traffic (old cars, scooters), neighbours' music, and early morning street cleaning. Weekends can get louder with impromptu street parties.
Insider tips
1. Bring earplugs — even quiet rooms here have thin windows. 2. Request a courtyard room at booking; they're much calmer than street-facing ones. 3. If the lift is broken (common), ask for a room on floor 2 or lower when you arrive.
- 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.
