We absolutely loved our stay here at this beautiful historic converted home. From our arrival through to our departure and everything in between we received nothing short of the most amazing warm Cuban hospitality offered in Old Havana . Richard and his team bent over backwards to make our stay comfortable and memorable at Hostal Balcones. Mariana the manager is an absolute angel who made sure each day for us was easily planned organising bookings and transport along the way. The rest of the beautiful Balcones staff also made us so very much at home that we almost felt like family. It’s a thoughtfully restored historical home that has been filled with eclectic collections of antiques and curiosities and you really feel you are stepping back in time with so much to admire and enjoy. With a very generous breakfast included daily cooked by the lovely Louisandra the chef, to laughs and salsa dancing with our room maid Jordania followed by our vote of the best Mojito in Havana in a tea pot made by Mariana the mixologist manager our stay couldn’t have been more perfect. Do yourself a favour and get a taste of Cuban life in the centre of old Havana by booking your stay at this gem.

I loved this hotel. The staff welcomed me on arrival with a tasty cocktail and continued to be very warm and helpful throughout my two night stay. The full breakfast was delicious and filling. The location was perfect in the heart of Plazza Vieja. I did a night tour which ended just down the road from my hotel. The decor is unique with interesting relics on the walls and in the rooms. Next trip to Habana _ I will stay here again!

It was such a great decision to stay here in Old Havana. Not only do you get the full Havana experience, the staff were so friendly, attentive and professional. Mariana and Henry deserve a special mention. Nothing was too much to ask and their dedication to the people staying there was as good, if not better than I have ever experienced around the world.

The staff were super nice and kind, the breakfast was good, the location was very close to historical places in old Havana, but the neighborhood was very dirty, the room didnt have safety box, refrigerator, tv , air dryer,and..we had to fix the shower ourselves, drinks in the dining room were so expensive for Cuba, and it was cuban rum! I would say for 150 Canadian dollers for a night there might be better places in better neighborhoods.

Hidden treasure!
The house is beautiful, the location is super convenient, but the best thing of all is the level of service and professionalism from the entire staff. Richard the owner is amazing, Mariana and Orlando are out of this world, they are simply incredible. Last but not least the maids and the cooks are also excellent. Their breakfast experience is unique. I can't emphasize how super breakfast is. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone.

We were warmly welcomed on New Year’s Eve and chose to celebrate the arrival of 2024 on their rooftop terrace, which was most enjoyable. As museums were closed for the first few days of January staff offered good suggestions for what we could do and kindly organised a taxi to facilitate. It was great to experience colourful and exuberant Cuban life in the streets beneath our balcony. A pleasant stay.

Our first time in Cuba and our first stay in Habana. The Hotel is located in the old city which is really convinient to walk around the city and to not use any further trasportation to visit the main attractions. The building even though is old, is very well preserved and is perfectly clean and nicely decorated. The feeling you get entering the house is stunning. Our room was very nice and super clean. New bedsheets and room cleaning was done everyday. The breakfast was very good and served every day freshly by the lovely staff. The staff of the Hotel were all super helpful, friendly, welcoming and at your support all day long. We met mostly 2 guys and 1 girl who were 24/7 around to support and serve you. We had a few mojitos(very well done) on the balcony of the house and smoked a cigar which is tottaly recommended. Tottaly recommended place to stay and you will get the safest feeling being there together with the lovely people working there.

So, all is true. Noise - yes. There no windows. Only wood shades. All night someone is moving in and out on the street. Loud music and People. Cuba Smell. It is old so you have old small. Breakfast - nothing special. If you like small kids / old dishes- original you probably like it. Hotel is like an apartment. Nothing special in my opinion. So, $100 probably ok. But … not sure
