Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Aimara Prado, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (e.g., 4th floor or above) to minimize street noise from Calle Havana. Additionally, opt for a room with an interior-facing view to avoid noise from the street. The hotel's elevator is located at the entrance, so rooms closer to the elevator might experience noise from the lift and guests. If possible, request a room in the rear section of the hotel to be farther away from the service entrance.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the elevator (entrance) and the service entrance, as they may be noisier. Also, rooms on lower floors (e.g., 1st-3rd) might be more prone to street noise.
Best views
Since the hotel is located in Havana, rooms with an east-facing view might offer a glimpse of the city, but this would depend on the specific room's orientation and the surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors
The 4th floor and above are likely to be quieter due to their distance from the street and the elevator.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Calle Havana is a potential concern, especially on lower floors. The service entrance and elevator area might also contribute to noise levels.
Insider tips

- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field

💡 Hail private yellow-tagged cars—not official taxis—for the true local fare of 10–20 CUP per person. Tell the driver 'Vedado' or your intersection. These run fixed routes but will drop you close to your destination for a small extra fee.

Top Attractions 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.
