Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

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

Best rooms to request

Rooms on higher floors (4th and 5th floor) are recommended due to reduced street noise from Calle Galiano, which is a busy street in Havana. Additionally, these rooms tend to have better natural light and a more pleasant view of the surrounding area.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Rooms near the lift (elevator) on lower floors (1st to 3rd floor) might be noisier due to frequent use, especially during peak hours.

🪟

Best views

East-facing rooms on the 4th and 5th floor offer a nice view of the city, while west-facing rooms might face a wall or the hotel's internal courtyard.

😴

Quietest floors

4th and 5th floor

🔊 Noise notes

Guests may be disturbed by street noise from Calle Galiano, especially at night and early morning. The hotel's location in Havana means there may be some background noise from the city.

Insider tips

Be prepared for the hotel's service entrance being a common area for locals and guests, which can lead to some activity and noise around the hotel's rear. Request a room with a safe, as it's not a standard feature in all rooms, and it's a convenient way to store valuables.

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

Havana 주요 관광지

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.
