Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sto Suárez, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor facing the interior courtyard. These floors avoid street noise from Estrada Palma and the lift traffic from ground and 2nd-floor common areas. Courtyard-facing rooms are quieter than those overlooking the street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor (street-level noise from Estrada Palma and lobby activity) and rooms directly above the lift shaft on any floor — you'll hear the mechanism and door chimes. Rooms at the front of the building (odd-numbered rooms) face the main road, which is busy with traffic and pedestrians.
Best views
Ask for a room on the 6th floor facing west — you might get a glimpse of the Havana skyline or the rooftops of Centro Habana. Street-facing rooms on upper floors offer a view of Estrada Palma and the lively street life below, but with more noise. Courtyard views are of the hotel's interior and neighbouring buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 are the quietest as they're above ground-floor noise and away from the 2nd-floor public areas. The lift serves all floors so there's no stair-only section to worry about.
🔊 Noise notes
Estrada Palma is a main thoroughfare in Centro Habana: expect buses, honking taxis, street vendors, and occasional music from nearby bars. The hotel lift is audible on all floors, especially if you're in a room next to the shaft. The public car park at Calle San Rafael (CUC 5/night) may be used by locals and could generate foot traffic late into the evening.
Insider tips
1. For a quieter stay, check in after 4pm and request a courtyard-facing room – by then, staff know which rooms are free. 2. Parking at Calle San Rafael is fine but not guarded overnight; better to use a taxi from the airport (CUC 25-30) and leave the car at home. The hotel's WiFi login is your room number and surname – no special app needed.
- 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

Principales atracciones en 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.
