Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Mi casa, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (4th or above) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's address in Havana suggests it may be near a busy street. The 3-star rating and lack of specific amenities in the data imply a relatively basic room layout, so it's likely the higher floors are less prone to noise from the lower floors.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the service entrance (if applicable) or the elevator may be noisier due to frequent staff activity and elevator usage.
Best views
There is no information available on the hotel's orientation or surrounding buildings, so it's unclear what view options are available.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and above
🔊 Noise notes

Insider tips
Arrive early to secure parking, as parking spaces may be limited in a busy city like Havana. Request a room with a standing shower, as the data doesn't mention a specific type of bathroom fixture, and it's worth confirming what's available.
- 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)

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.
