Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Dayana, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th or 5th) to minimize street noise from the nearby streets of Havana. These floors are likely to be farther away from the service entrance and lift, reducing noise disturbance. Additionally, higher floors often receive better ventilation and natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance (likely on lower floors, such as 1st or 2nd) as they may be prone to noise from staff and deliveries. Rooms around the lift may also experience some noise disturbance from guests and staff movement.
Best views
Given the hotel's address in Havana, rooms on the 4th or 5th floor may offer views of the surrounding streets and cityscape, although this cannot be guaranteed without more specific room number information.

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.
