Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Enriquito Gamoneda, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (3rd or above) to minimize street noise from D'Zelmann Street, which can be lively due to its location in the heart of Havana. Additionally, avoid rooms near the service entrance, as the hotel's 3-star status suggests a higher turnover of guests and staff, potentially leading to more foot traffic and noise. Consider rooms with a view of the city or the interior courtyard for a more peaceful experience.

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.
