Madero Bed and Breakfast

  We stayed at Madero B&B twice during our trip to Cuba. The rooms are clean and quiet and the staff was able to help us with some small requests... read more and recommendations for where to go and what to do during our stay. You really get a family vibe staying there. The breakfast was also filling and delicious and they were able to easily accommodate my gluten (celiac) allergy. I also loved the before/after photos of the building prior to the renovation so you can get a sense of how dramatic a transformation they have accomplished.

  A perfect combination of a family business, run professionally, this is a beautifully-restored hotel in the old town of Havana. We received truly excellent service, the accommodation was exceptionally clean,... read more and breakfast was five star (in service, choice and quality). Very comfortable beds, quality sheets, quiet and efficient air conditioning, modern bathrooms with hot water all day. We were stranded at this hotel in the global lockdown and the owners and their staff kept us in fruit juices and snacks all day once the city restaurants, bars and cafes shut down and even cooked us the most delicious evening meals. We can not thank Lisy and Papo enough, not only did they check with our airline, Virgin Atlantic, that we would be on the last British rescue flight out of Cuba but they personally took us to the airport (Cuban taxis no longer taking tourists).

  We spent about a month travelling around Cuba with Locally Sourced Tours on a private guided tour for my wife and I . The Madero was our casa for a... read more total of 7 nights over the month as we passed through or toured Havana. Staff is excellent and accommodating with decent English language skills. Rooms are very clean and place puts service as a very high priority. Rooms are small except for 201 which is a larger suite.Santa Clara ,the street of the Madero hasn't yet seen the buildings renovated so is the real Havana. Only 2 blocks away the building are beautiful and mostly re done so you can expect quite a bit of activity from local people coming out in the streets each evening . you get a real feel to how Havana life is with less fortunate but all very safe. We ended up using room fan to create some white noise to drown out 4;30 am rooster next door. Lovely third floor terrace to read or have a drink. Breakfasts were first rate . Our roomwas on 3rd floor so had to take our time walking up or down quite narrow staircase but they have a dumbwaiter to transport bags. Easy walk to all the sites and only 2 short blocks from inner harbour. Well run casa
