Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Dr. Margarita, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor, ideally 5th or above, as the lower floors may be noisier due to street activity. This hotel is located in the city center, and the higher floors will provide a better buffer from the noise. Additionally, rooms on the west side of the hotel may receive more natural light and have a better view of the surrounding cityscape.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance or lift as these areas tend to be noisier due to the constant comings and goings of staff and guests. Also, rooms on lower floors may be more susceptible to street noise from the busy streets of Havana.
Best views
The best views are likely to be from the west-facing rooms on higher floors, which will offer a view of the city and the surrounding architecture.
Quietest floors
Floors 5-8 are likely to be the quietest, as they are higher up and away from the street noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise, especially during peak hours, as the hotel is located in the city center. The noise may be more noticeable on lower floors and near the service entrance.

Havana 주요 관광지
💡 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.
