Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa lisbanis, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above the 3rd floor) to minimize street noise from Calle Havana. Given the hotel's 3-star rating and address in the city center, it's likely that rooms on lower floors may receive more foot traffic and noise from the street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift (elevator) on lower floors, as they may be noisier due to the elevator's frequent use. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance or bar may experience noise from staff and late-night activity.
Best views
Given the hotel's address in Havana, rooms on higher floors may offer views of the surrounding cityscape, but it's unlikely to be a major selling point for this 3-star hotel.
Quietest floors
The 4th and 5th floors are likely to be the quietest, given their higher elevation and distance from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
Calle Havana is a busy street with traffic and pedestrians, so rooms on lower floors may be noisier. Additionally, being in the city center means that there may be occasional noise from nearby bars or restaurants.
Insider tips
Request a room with a balcony to get some fresh air and a glimpse of the city, but be aware that the view may be limited. Consider visiting the hotel's reception area, which may have a small sitting area or lounge where you can relax and meet other travelers.
- 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.
