Hotels In Old Havana
If you are looking for Havana Hotels then you might find this article of interest. There are over 50 hotels in Havana at present and the standard ranges from 2 star very basic hotels to 5 star luxury hotels.
There are about 14 different neighbourhoods in Havana among which the most popular in terms of tourist affluence are The Old Town, Vedado and Miramar quarters.These areas have the best tourist infrastructure in Havana.
If money is not an issue with you then go for either of Parque Central Hotel, Saratoga Hotel or Santa Isabel Hotel. The last one is one of the most luxurious palaces built in the 18th century to house the Governor of Cuba. This hotel only have 35 rooms and the views are just fantastic.
If you budget can only afford 4 star hotel accommodation then you have more options available. There are about seven 4 star hotels in the Old Town all of which are managed by one of the best hotel chains in Cuba - Habaguanex
Florida Hotel, Raquel Hotel and O'Farril Hotel are among the most beautiful palaces. They have an average of 30 rooms each so the service is always going to be more personalized compared to those huge Havana hotels.
There are cheaper options in the Old Town such as Comendador Hotel and Hostal Valencia. Both very charming palaces from the 17th Century with only 14 rooms each. They both feature the best restaurant for Spanish Tapas and Valencia Paella respectively.
There are some 2 star hotels in the Old Town area but I will only recommend those to people on a very tight budget. Their prices are very cheap - somewhere around 15.00 CUC per person per night. I will advise to first read the reviews on Trip Advisor website before you decide to book one of this. Lido, Caribbean and Lincoln Hotels in the Old town are the best 2 star hotels.
In general Hotels in Old Havana are the best ones in terms of location and quality of the service. If you want to stay in a 5 star hotel you will be looking at around 85.00 CUC per person per night. A more economic yet very decent accommodation would be the 4 star hotel option with prices around 60.00 CUC per person per night.
