Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to casa ana, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th or 5th floor) to minimize street noise, as the hotel is located in the heart of Havana. The lift only stops at every second floor, so rooms on higher floors will have less traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (1st floor) or near the lift, as these may be noisier due to street activity and lift usage.
Best views
Rooms on the higher floors with an eastern or western orientation may offer views of the surrounding cityscape, although the views may be partially obstructed by buildings.
Quietest floors
4th and 5th floors are likely the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the lift's stopping pattern.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for potential street noise, as Casa Ana is located in a busy area of Havana. The hotel's concrete floors may also transmit some noise from above or below.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a balcony to enjoy the city views, although this may not be available on all rooms. If you have a car, be aware that parking may be limited in the area, and you may need to park at a nearby lot or on the street.
- 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 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.
