Das Eigentum — Case Roiniel
Case Roiniel is a small, family-run casa particular in Centro Habana, a short walk from the Malecón. The vibe is unfussy and residential: tiled floors, high ceilings, a rooftop terrace where you can see the sea. It suits independent travellers who want a genuine local base over a hotel chain — you’ll be sharing breakfast with the owners, not a buffet queue. It feels like staying in someone’s home, because you are.
Chroniken von Havana
Habana was founded in 1519 by Spanish colonists on a deep natural harbour, quickly becoming the Caribbean’s key trading port. Its architecture spans Spanish Baroque, Neoclassical and Art Deco, with the 1950s leaving a striking modernist mark before the revolution halted development. Today it’s a city in careful decay: crumbling facades, vintage American cars, and a vibrant cultural scene pushing through structural neglect. The UNESCO-listed Old Town draws crowds, but the soul of the city lives in its neighbourhoods — music spilling from every doorway, rum and cigars still the currency of conversation.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Havana-Guide →Die besten Monate
March-April and November: dry season, lower humidity, fewer tourists than January/February. Clear skies for walking, manageable heat.
Peak / Festival Surge
January and February are peak for weather (cooler, less rain) and festivals like Havana's Jazz Plaza (January). Hotel prices spike 30-50%. December also busy with Christmas and pre-New Year crowds.
Budget Schulter Saison
May and October are the best budget months: rates drop 20-30%, rain is sporadic not constant, humidity is up but crowds are thin. You'll get better negotiation leverage.
Wetter & Verpackung
Havana's July climate: oppressive humidity with daily highs of 31°C and frequent, short tropical downpours. Pack only linen or cotton, a lightweight rain jacket, and a spare pair of shoes — one day's rain may not dry before the next falls.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Havana
- A major pothole repair project on Malecón is ongoing in summer 2026 — expect lane closures and loud work near the seawall.
- New 'Casa de la Música' venue opened in Galiano in early 2026, offering nightly timba and son sets with local rum at half Old Havana prices.
- Street food vendors now accept Cuban national peso (CUP) almost exclusively — bring small bills and avoid USD for better exchange rates.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Case Roiniel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor at the rear of the building, away from the street. These upper floors minimise street-level noise and offer more privacy without relying on a lift, which is common in older buildings.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid first-floor rooms, especially those facing the street; they get the most foot traffic, car noise, and potential exhaust fumes from Havana's vintage cars. Also skip rooms near the stairwell, which can be noisy with guests coming and going.
Best views
Ask for a room at the back of the building for a quieter view of a courtyard or neighbouring rooftops; a street-facing room from floor 3 or 4 gives a lively but noisy view of Havana's streets.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, as they're above street hubbub but not high enough to need a lift frequently. Floor 2 is moderate but still benefits from being off the ground.
🔊 Noise notes
Located on a central Havana street, Case Roiniel is exposed to car horns, classic car rumbles, pedestrian chatter, and occasional live music from nearby bars. Early mornings may have street cleaning sounds.
Insider tips
1) If street noise bothers you, request a room at the back during booking—specify 'interior courtyard view'. 2) The hotel may not have a lift; pack light if you're on higher floors, as staff may not always be available to help with bags.
- 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

A menu of rice, beans, meat, and salad at a local paladar or lunch counter is around 150–250 CUP.
A main course of pork or chicken with sides at a casual sit-down place runs about 200–350 CUP.
Look for street carts and small stalls along Obispo and Mercaderes, selling pizza, churros, and croquetas for 10–40 CUP each.
State-run bodegas and a few small private shops sell basics; no big supermarkets. Buy bread, eggs, and soft drinks at street kiosks.
Havana’s main market “La Cueva” on Calle Maloja sells second-hand clothes and shoes cheaply. Also check the Almacenes de San José crafts market for affordable linen shirts.

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.
