Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa Pedro, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 5th) for a quieter stay. The hotel's address on Calle 33 suggests it's located on a busy street, and rooms on lower floors may be more susceptible to street noise. Additionally, the hotel's 3-star rating indicates a more basic amenities package, so you may not find many rooms with specific views or amenities, but the higher floors will at least provide a better view of the city.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift (elevator), as the sound of it operating and people waiting can be disturbing. Also, rooms near the service entrance or potential bar area may experience noise from staff and patrons.
Best views
Rooms on the north or south side of the hotel may offer a view of the city, but this is not guaranteed due to the hotel's 3-star rating and the address on a busy street.
Quietest floors
5th floor and above
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise is likely to be a concern on lower floors, especially on Calle 33, which is a busy street in Havana.
Insider tips
1. Arrive early for check-in to ensure a smooth process, as the hotel may not have a dedicated lobby area. 2. Request a room with a balcony if available, as this may provide a small outdoor space to enjoy the city views.
- 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

Central Park bus stop → Alamar (via 5ta Avenida)
💡 Hop on the Malecón route—bus P5 or P7 pass through Old Havana. Payment is by coin or phone card only; exact change essential. Expect the bus to be packed and hot during peak hours.
Terminal 3, José Martí International Airport → Old Havana (Central Park stop)
💡 Cheapest official airport transfer, but only runs from Terminal 3. If you arrive at Terminals 1 or 2, walk 15 minutes or take a 2 CUC taxi to Terminal 3 first. Space is first-come, first-served.

💡 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.
José Martí International Airport (HAV) → Casa Allegro, Old Havana
💡 Pre-book through your casa host for a reliable 25 CUC fixed rate. Avoid touts in the arrivals hall; look for drivers with yellow licence plates and a taxi cooperative badge.

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.
