La propriété — Casa Yaima Trujillo
Casa Yaima Trujillo is a private guesthouse in Centro Habana, not a standard hotel. The vibe is low-key and lived-in: a small, family-run casa particular with a high-ceilinged lobby, retro tiles, and a dusty ceiling fan. It suits independent travellers who want a genuinely local base near the Malecón, not resort comforts. You get a clean room, a simple breakfast, and a rooftop terrace where neighbours hang laundry.
Chroniques de Havana
Havana was founded in 1519 by Spanish colonists as a key port on the Gulf Stream. Its colonial core grew around Plaza de Armas, and by the 18th century it was ringed by massive fortifications like El Morro. The 20th century brought grand Neoclassical and Art Deco buildings, though the 1959 revolution froze development. Today the city is a gritty, vital mix of peeling palacios, classic cars, and a resurgent private-restaurant scene.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Havana →Meilleurs mois
November–March: dry season with 20–26°C highs, low humidity, and fewer tropical storms. Crowds are moderate; cruise ships dock often but the city absorbs them.
Peak / Festival surge
Peak runs December–February, plus the Havana Biennial (odd-numbered years in spring). Prices at casas particulares double or triple. The annual Jazz Festival in January also drives bookings. July is also busy with national holidays (Carnival week).
La saison des épaules
April–May and October are ideal shoulder months: still mostly dry, fewer tourists, and casa rates drop 20–40%. Hurricane risk is low in May; October sees occasional rain but good deals.
Météo & Emballage
July is hot and humid (26–31°C) with occasional afternoon downpours. Pack light cotton, a rain shell or umbrella, and sturdy sandals for puddled streets.
Briefing de la ville — Havana
- Havana’s Malecón is partially closed for seawall repairs near Casa Yaima; check current stretches before walking.
- New private restaurants (paladares) opened in Centro Habana, but cash is still king—US dollars and euros widely accepted; credit cards remain patchy.
- The airport bus route P-12 was extended to serve Vedado and Centro Habana, a cheaper option than taxis.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa Yaima Trujillo, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floor 2 or 3 facing the inner courtyard (not the street). These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level noise but still within quick reach via stairs if the lift is slow or broken—common in Havana. Courtyard-facing rooms in older Cuban buildings are consistently quieter and cooler.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 (ground floor) or any room facing Ingenito street. Ground floor picks up street noise, foot traffic, and potential kitchen or lobby sounds. Street-facing rooms suffer from passing cars, scooters, and street talk until late evening.
Best views
Views from upper floors (2 or 3) overlooking Ingenito street give a slice of Havana life—classic cars, colonial façades, and the odd horse cart. Courtyard views are greener but less distinct. For the full Havana character, street-facing has more reward for the trade-off in noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest—well above street-level activity and lift lobby bustle. Floor 3 also has fewer footfall patterns from overhead.
🔊 Noise notes
Ingenito is a side street, not a main avenue, but it's in central Havana so expect motorbikes and taxis honking during the day. Nearby shops and cafés add chatter until 9-10pm. Early morning (6-7am) there's street sweeping and delivery trucks. No airport flight path noise.
Insider tips
1. Check the lift motor starts before accepting a top floor—Havana lifts break often, and climbing four flights with bags isn't fun. 2. If you've booked street-facing, ask at check-in for a courtyard swap after 2pm—room turns often free up quieter options later in the day.
- 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 attractions à 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.
