La proprietà — Casa Docampo
Casa Docampo is a restored colonial townhouse in Centro Habana, trading poolside glamour for honest local character. The lobby feels lived-in: cool terracotta tiles, high ceilings, a small reception desk that greets neighbours as often as guests. It suits independent travellers who want a 3-star base—clean, central, no pretence—and prefer a spot of neighbourhood noise over a sanitised resort bubble.
Cronache di Havana
Havana was founded in 1519 by Spanish conquistador Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, becoming a key stopping point for treasure fleets. Its 16th-century fortifications gave way over centuries to a mix of baroque, neoclassical and art deco architecture, largely frozen in time after the 1959 revolution. Today, Old Havana is a UNESCO World Heritage site, its cobbled plazas and pastel façades drawing crowds, while crumbling tenements a block away remind you of the city’s sharp economic realities. Contemporary Havana pulses with live son and salsa, classic cars convertible taxis, and a quiet, resilient pride in its layered identity.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Havana →I migliori mesi
January to March: the driest months, temperatures hover around 25-27°C (77-80°F), humidity is lowest, and the city is buzzing with winter sun-seekers and festival-goers.
Peak / Festival Surge
December and January are absolute peak: Christmas, New Year’s, and the January anniversary of the revolution fill hotels early. Prices at Casa Docampo can rise 20-30% over baseline. The Havana Jazz Festival in January also pulls a dedicated crowd.
Stagione di spalla
May and October are the smartest budget months: lower humidity than summer, fewer tourists, and room rates often drop by a quarter or more. You risk occasional afternoon showers but gain quieter streets and easier restaurant bookings.
Meteo e imballaggio
Havana is a city of two seasons: rainy (May–October) and dry (November–April). Pack breathable linen or cotton for the July heat, plus a compact rain jacket—even in dry months a sudden tropical downpour can flood the Malecón within minutes.
Briefing della città — Havana
- Cuba’s fuel shortage continues to hit public transport hard: expect longer waits for buses and fewer taxis available in July. Pre-book airport transfers or a private driver through your casa.
- The Malecón seawall recently saw partial repairs after damage from Hurricane Rafael in 2024, but sections remain closed for reconstruction. Walking access is fine from the old town side.
- A handful of new paladares (private restaurants) opened in Centro Habana in early 2026, including 'La Cocina de Tere' on Calle Virtudes—good home-style ropa vieja and a beer for under $5.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa Docampo, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (3-5), specifically those with a west-facing orientation, to avoid street noise and enjoy a better view of the city. This is because the hotel is located on a relatively busy street, Calle A, which can get noisy, especially during the day.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance or the lift (elevator), as these areas tend to be noisier due to the constant flow of staff and guests.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Calle A does not offer stunning views of the city, but rooms on the west-facing side (floors 3-5) will provide a better view of the surrounding buildings and a glimpse of the city's skyline.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-5 are likely the quietest, given the hotel's 3-star rating and the presence of concrete floors, which help to reduce noise from above and below.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise from Calle A, especially during the day, but it tends to die down at night.
Insider tips
When checking in, ask for a room key that is not too close to the main entrance, as this area tends to be busier and noisier. Request a room with a window that can be opened for some fresh air, as the hotel's location in Havana can be quite humid and stuffy.
- 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

Principali attrazioni a 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.
