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-5th) for a quieter stay. These floors are likely to be away from the street noise in Barreto Oeste, which is a relatively busy area in Havana.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift (elevator) as it's likely to be a source of noise, especially during peak hours.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address in Barreto Oeste doesn't provide a clear indication of a scenic view. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a glimpse of the surrounding cityscape.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-5 are the quietest, given the higher elevation and distance from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise, especially from the east-west traffic on Barreto Oeste. The hotel's 3-star rating suggests it may not have top-notch soundproofing.
Insider tips
When checking in, ask about the hotel's parking options. As a 3-star hotel in a busy area, parking may be limited or require a fee. If you're looking for a quiet spot to relax, consider requesting a room away from the lift and near the interior courtyard.
- 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.
