Independent, Havanna

"Nice hôtel with a wonderful service!"

"Our stay at Hostal Balcones was perfect. Lovely room, nice location in the heart of Old Havanna and there was always a personal and warm welcome when we got home from an excursion around the city - at any time of the day or night. Really, the heart of Hostal Balcones are the people. Mariana, Henri, Ronaldo and the lovely ladies in the kitchen: thank you from the bottom of my heart to make us feel so welcome and to help us find our way around Cuba. Thank you for really nice conversations, for a wonderful breakfast and for welcoming us back after our four-day-trip to Trinidad just for the few hours we had before leaving to the airport. If I ever come back, I'll be sure to stay with you."

"Most beautyful casa particular in Havanna, with pool and any convenience, like a new museum of havanna. With fantastic view over the city."

"Gemütlicher, sauberer und geräumiger Aufenthalt. Ich hatte eine Master-Suite mit ausgezeichnetem Bad, Annehmlichkeiten und Balkon, abwechslungsreichem Frühstück und persönlicher Betreuung durch das gesamte Team."

"Very warm welcome, perfect service and delicious breakfast! Great support with every question and wish from my side throughout the whole stay and even before. I will definitely consider to come back, next time I stay in Havana. Thanks a lot!"

"Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. "

"We stayed here 3 days in February 24 and enjoyed the really Central location, just 2 blocks from Plaza Vieja and the Rum Museum. Old Havanna is all in walking distance, Capitolio is a 20 minutes walk. Super friendly staff consists of two teams (all speak English), changing every 2-3 days, who are all helpful with really everything you need to survive Havanna. Really good cappuccino with refill and tasty egg dishes. Water bottles are available for a little charge from the semi-public fridge. Tourists from other Casas came to enjoy breakfast and stable Wifi here too for a good reason. From the terraces in the 3rd and 4th floor we had a great view over the city, and in the 2nd floor "lounge" we enjoyed drinks in the evening. There were no flies or mosquitos while we stayed here. Actually we even returned for 2 more nights before leaving home, because of the nice atmosphere and the helpful people there. "

"Lovely restored old house from the 1920/1930. Warm welcome from the complete staff. Great Breakfast, lot's of things to explore in the neighborhood. "

"This hostal was located a bit away from Havana Center and it is difficult to reach touristic sites by foot. However, it was one of the most clean, safe and quiet neighbourhoods in Havana, where most of the buildings were in good shape and the streets were mostly clean.. the breakfast was nice & the staff were friendly & helpful"
