Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ksa d Javiera, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (3rd floor or above) for a quieter stay. These rooms are likely to be less prone to street noise, which can be an issue in Havana. Additionally, the hotel's 3-star rating suggests a mid-range property with decent maintenance, so you can expect a relatively smooth elevator ride.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors, especially near the street (e.g., 1st floor), as they may be more susceptible to noise from passing traffic and pedestrians. Also, steer clear of rooms near the service entrance, which could lead to occasional noise from staff and deliveries.
Best views
Given the hotel's address in Havana, rooms facing the interior courtyard or the street might offer a glimpse of the city's vibrant streets. However, the best views are likely to be from rooms on higher floors with a western or southern orientation, which might provide a glimpse of the nearby Malecón seaside promenade.
Quietest floors
2nd floor to 3rd floor
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise, especially if you're a light sleeper. The hotel's central location in Havana means you'll be close to the action, but this also means some background noise is inevitable.
Insider tips
1. Request a room with a fan or air conditioning if you're sensitive to noise, as the city's heat and humidity can be intense. 2. Take advantage of the hotel's proximity to Havana's central streets by walking or taking a short taxi ride to popular attractions like the Capitolio or Plaza Vieja.
- 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.
