Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to español, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

If you're looking for a quieter room, request a room on the higher floors (3rd floor or above) as the lift is located on the ground floor and may cause noise disturbance. Additionally, the hotel appears to have a service entrance on the ground floor, which might lead to some external noise. Avoid rooms facing the service entrance or the lift for a more peaceful stay.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Rooms on the ground floor, especially those near the lift and service entrance, may be noisy due to external noise from the Amistad street. Request a room on a higher floor for a quieter stay.

🪟

Best views

Unfortunately, with the hotel's address on Altos street, there's limited information on the view. However, it's likely that rooms on higher floors may offer a view of the surrounding area.

😴

Quietest floors

3rd floor or above

🔊 Noise notes

External noise from Amistad street and potential disturbance from the lift and service entrance on the ground floor.

Insider tips

Be mindful of the hotel's 3-star rating and limited amenities, so it's best to request extra amenities, such as towels or toiletries, in advance. If you're driving, be aware that parking might be limited in the area, so consider exploring public transportation options or street parking alternatives.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principali attrazioni a Havana

Plaza de la Catedral Free

💡 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.

Malecón Free

💡 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.

Parque John Lennon Free

💡 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.

Museo de la Revolución

💡 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.

Fábrica de Arte Cubano

💡 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.
