This was the most amazing property that we could’ve imagined to stay at. The staff (Wendy, El Pidio, Felipe and all the rest) were so helpful and friendly that we couldn’t have asked for more. I can highly recommend and I will be definitely staying there again when I return to Havana.

This was my third stay at the Hostal del Buen Viaje, and I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Havana. The people are warm, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring we had a perfect stay once again. It's surprisingly quiet with no street noise, and the inner courtyard allows you to appreciate a clean outside feel. Breakfast is well balanced, fresh, and tasty. The only challenge about writing an honest review of such a great place is that it has become increasingly difficult to book the place ourselves because they have been sold out at times.

Centrally located, but not on the best street. Wi-Fi and Internet, spotty, but this is Cuba.

Beautifully restored house in Old Havana with all modern amenities. Excellent breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff. Situated in Old Havana but only a short walk to the Parque Central area.

Do not be put off by the outside,inside is lovely and very clean. Very good breakfast and excellent service from Carlos and Joanna. This hotel was better than a so called 5 star hotel we stayed in in Varadero.

All the staff were friendly, super helpful and efficient. Great breakfast provided. Ac was as cold as ice. Just a couple of short blocks from playa central and excellent salsa bars and bigger hotels where it’s is neat to eat later in the day

I absolutely enjoyed my stay at this property. When traveling in Cuba, I chose to stay in the heart of Old Havana. The property is located in the heart, and is surrounded by a very poor community. However, it was a perfect!! The people in the community were very kind and the employees at the hostal was phenomenal, especially Augustin and Joanna.

I have stayed in 4-5 different locations in Old Havana of the course of numerous trips, and was on the lookout for a place to make my “regular spot”. After this trip, I have found it. The accommodations were very nice, the entire place is very clean and calm. The design aesthetic is beautiful. The staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. The location is perfect for a safe and secure feeling of where you are staying and well populated short distance walks to numerous food and drink options and self-guided tours.

The staff and owners were very helpful and friendly. They were always available and happy to book any activities up and change money. The room was lovely with good air conditioning. The breakfast of eggs and toast/jam and good coffee was really nice. You could buy cold water or beer at anytime. The Hotel was in the centre of Old Haven so very easy to walk to places and to see the old town and have a drink or food.

Really Enjoyed this Hostel, the room with a bed in the loft and a comfortable sofa bed was perfect for my son and I sharing the room. Nice roof top terrace area. The AC, TV, and Fridge all worked very well. Easy walk to the Capital building area and down to Old Havana and the Harbor. Several cool bars with food literally 50 yards away. The staff could not have been nicer, very helpful. Even helped me change a flat tire on my rental car. I would stay here again. Cal G.

Our stay here was wonderful. The staff are excellent, extremely friendly and helpful. They gave us a lot of helpful tips for our stay with money exchange, places to see, taxis, restaurants and anything we could need. Breakfast was nice which was welcome as the food generally in Havana isn’t great. The rooms were cleaned every day and the air conditioning was sublime. WiFi was spotty but it seems to be a problem with the National provider not the Casa. Yamela (name sp.?) was a lovely and helpful host and I’d like to thank Carlos as well, he helped us out a lot and was so pleasant. Austin too. All of the staff are great and a credit to the Casa. The area is a little rough around the edges but the location itself is good, close to the Capitol, Gran Theater, Hotels, Revolution Museum (closed for renovations), Many squares, parks, and the ocean front. Thank you!

Overall we loved our visit and would return. This was a quaint little casa 2 blocks from the capitol and in the middle of everything in La Vieja Habana. Like most of the streets in Old Havana, this area is run down but safe. This building stands out as a shining star on the street. Inside the casa was beautiful. Cute little reception takes you to the 3 story atrium surrounding the rooms. Everything was pristine. Breakfast was wonderful-staff was great. It seemed to be next to a school, but the noise from the children seemed to be only in the afternoon and was part of the experience of staying in the city.

Foi uma excelente estadia! O Anfitrião foi excepcional. O melhor atendimento que já recebi de um anfitrião. Esteve sempre disponível e atento as nossas necessidades. A hospedagem fica bem localizada, podemos fazer a pé todos os os passeios aos principais atrativos turísticos e frenquentar bons restaurantes, tudo bem próximo ao Hostal. Cama confortável e quarto com limpeza impecável. Café da manhã atendeu bem a nossa necessidade e tudo feito com muita presteza e dedicação. Recomendo demais a estadia!

Eine der tollsten Unterkünfte, die wir auf Kuba hatten. Trotz Stromausfall hat alles super funktioniert. Gerne wieder, falls wir nochmal nach Kuba kommen... allerdings muss das Land dann erstmal die Geld und Energieversorgung in den Griff bekommen. Schade, so ein schönes Land und nette Leute.
