The owners of the Casa are super nice and will help you with everything you need. They will offer better exchange rate for your USD/EUR, do your laundry and give you the low down on where is good to eat. On top of this they are just really nice people that we enjoyed meeting. We felt at home here.

Amazing stay at Hostal Selfa
My friend and I stayed at Selfa's place for two nights and it was wonderful. Selfa herself helped coordinate our taxi ride from Havana to Varadero and Varadero to the airport on our way out. She served delicious breakfasts in the morning and sat and chatted with us. She gave us really great recommendations for food and directions to access the local tourist bus. Her place is very clean and welcoming. The room was spacious and the bathroom was functional and attached to the room. There was even a balcony and a separate living room-type area next door to the bedroom. I would highly recommend Hostal Selfa for friends traveling together, couples, or even families!

Perfect stay in Varadero
Selfa is a lovely lady who made us very welcome. I can't recommend this place enough, we absolutely loved it and were so sad to leave. We particularly loved the roof terrace and Selfa's amazing breakfasts, so much so that we wanted to return towards the end of our trip but unfortunately there was no availability. If we go back to Varadero again we will definitely stay with Selfa. The beach is so close too, and there are shops, bars and restaurants nearby too. Selfa's place is absolutely perfect.
Garden terrace for beautiful breakfasts

Selfa, Dianelys and Alejandro were the most hospitable, friendly and helpful hosts we have come across here in Cuba. Their place was beautiful and peaceful. The breakfast was huge, affordable and the best breakfast we had here in Cuba. The room was spacious, cool and well worth the money. They had great suggestions for food including El Toro. Other good places to eat locally were Don Alex, Cafe Quitrin and Palmares. Please stay here, you will not regret it!

I would give 3 stars for the friendliness. They did try to help me out too. It is a family home and near the main part of varadero however you can walk varadero in 40 minutes. It s clean. All you get is a small bar of soap. No WIFI access despite the property information( though it said it had) two channel on telly (doesnt work) The actual owner does not really speak english and you would be lucky to find the people who does
