Madero Bed and Breakfast

  Lovely Place, Great Location and Service - What a fantastic find. My 18-year-old daughter and I spent four nights at Madero. The welcome and service could not have been better, loads of smiles. Juan Carlos and Lisy... read more (the owners) are great hosts, but the whole team were excellent. The hostel is stylish, with wood features (hence the name), and more modern in design than much of what you will find in Cuba. The room was very nicely presented, with a small en suite bathroom with excellent shower. Water, A/C and Wifi worked no problem (not something to be taken for granted in Cuba!). Breakfast (included) was good quality and substantial: fresh fruit, juice, good coffee, eggs various ways and toast.

The location is perfect, just round the corner from the bars, restaurants and life of the Plaza Vieja (got a good massage at the spa there too), close to the cruise amenities - including the artisanal market (the best place to buy souvenirs), and a short walk to the rest of the sights of Old Havana. The hotel team can provide tips on where to eat and grab a cocktail. The street (Santa Clara) is beginning to develop too with some other hostels, bars and an art gallery. No need to look further if you want a few nights in Havana.

  A nice, clean B&B in old town with friendly staff and 5-10 min walk from the "centre" of Havanna. Nice patio where you can smoke a puro and just relax... read more and take in the sounds of the city below. Recomend it!

  First time in Cuba and had read reviews about this Casa. Was not disappointed, The staff are lovely, house clean, comfortable, great breakfast and a haven in... read more a very busy part of the old town. To really see Havana is to see the life of the street. Loved sitting out on the balconey and watching the world go by. Havana is very safe and this neighbourhood is no exception. The neighbours all around are great. Highly recommend.
