Hotels near Vedado in Havana

Having booked our anniversary experience and chosen Cuba as our choice of destination from our bucket list, we were SO thrilled to have picked MYSTIQUE REGIS Boutique Hotel by Royalton as our preferred choice of stay. This beautiful newly refurbished boutique hotel in the heart of Old Havana was perfectly located with access to all key tourist and local sights, vintage car experiences, eateries and of course a comfortable and super clean rooms to come back to after a long day of sightseeing! Beautiful rooftop for sunrise brekkie to provide you with awesome City views! This is a must for daily starts.. Now most importantly the Welcoming staff were the epitome of Cuban hospitality. Always there to help and guide no matter how small or big the problem like booking taxis, site seeing, restaurant recommendations and moreover endlessly trying to help us communicate with the lost and found airport people who lost our luggage sadly! But that’s another story! Big shout out and THANK YOU to the Mystique Team Kim, Arianna, the marketing butler team and all the lovely reception ladies and bell gentlemen! MUCHO GRACIAS for making our stay a welcoming, relaxing and warm 1st time vacation in your fascinating, fun and fabulous Havannah City! Keep Well! Best Wishes Segun & Lucy THOMPSON

We rested in Cuba in April 2023. Booked one night in this hotel for 10.5tr. During the trip, it was necessary to shift the booking dates by one day (we really wanted to get to the Tropicana cabaret show). The Trip service fed promises to resolve the issue within 24 hours for three days. We did not receive a clear answer whether it is possible to change the dates of the booking. We had to book a second night for the date we wanted. This reservation cost 11.5t.r. the difference in price was attributed to exchange rate fluctuations. At the time of check-in, it turned out that the first night was paid for only one person, although two people were billed when booking. And the second night is booked for two persons. For the first night it was necessary to pay 85 €. In a word, I do not recommend using this Trip.com service. Now about the hotel: a huge disadvantage for the Russians is the inability to use cash. The whole hotel works only with cards. Russian cards naturally do not work, the Mir payment system has just begun to be introduced in Cuba. Accordingly, we could not use the restaurant, bar, pool. In general, the hotel is not bad for Cuba, the only thing that was very embarrassing was the peeled tulle. Well, right at all, with a tuft of thread on the floor.

Second stay in 2023 at this very comfortable little hotel next to Centro Chirurgico. Since my first stay this year, the hotel seems to have changed management, but without compromising service or quality (although the posted rack rate has increased by approx 5x!). In general, the hotel is clean, quiet, and safe. Surrounded by a charming garden and terrace. Gated, with security. Air conditioning in rooms is great. Dining area not air conditioned, so need to sit on the terrace for a breeze. Meals were sit-down with choice of fish/chicken/lamb. The meals (although simple) are prepared by a chef and very tasty. Much better than many of the bad buffets at other hotels. Small bar area is now open for drinks in the afternoon and evening. Staff were exceptionally pleasant and helpful. All staff speak (some) English. Location is close to the many restaurants at the bottom of Paseo. There are numerous small shops at the bottom of Paseo in the same area where you can buy beer, liquor, wine in pesos at reasonable prices. Location next to the heart hospital means you can easily find taxis near the hotel. However, the cheapest transportation option is to walk down Paseo to the Malecon and wait for the children's train which makes a loop from the Plaza de las Armas to the Riviera Hotel approximately every 2 hours for 40 pesos. Hotel will currently change money at the official government rate of 120/USD, but you this is not recommended as you can obtain a better rate easily on the ”informal” market. Wifi for sale at front desk for 40 pesos/hr. Coverage can be a little bit spotty, sometimes you lose the signal. Other reviews have raised water temperature/pressure issues: these are not generally the fault of hotels. Water system in Havana has lots of issues.

We knew what to expect in Cuba, but still, you are not prepared for all. First of all we lost our first night in Cuba because the airline company changed the flight so we arrived second night very late. We got our room and we went to accommodate us. The hotel has some rooms without windows and we got one of that. The smell in the room was so bad (mixture of mold and urine)you couldn't even breathe . Even the bed linen was dirty and smell bad. My partner said he could not sleep there so he went down and speak with the receptionist to give us another room or if nothing available to change the bed linen for that night and after will see. Luckily she gave us another room ( I think one of the best in the hotel) with balcony ( the hotel has only 2 rooms with balcony so we got one of them) The smell still comes from bathroom but after we close the bathroom door was OK and we could keep the balcony door open for fresh air. The bed linen and towels look clean but with a lot of stains out. The breakfast was OK for Cuba, you couldn't expect more than that. Good coffee. The staff is nice and they try to help you. You must pay for Internet each day ( very cheap) but sometimes in the morning was very difficult for them to get a code. ( you need a code for each device ) The fact that they changed our room make our stay in Cuba overall good.

There is a sightseeing bus stop near the hotel, $10/person There is a shuttle bus to the airport for $5/person. The exchange rate at the hotel is bad 1:120 Exchange with the security guard for 1:200 no napkins A 1.5 liter bottle of water is provided on the first day of stay The next day I started buying a bottle at the bar for 400 pesos. It is recommended to live in the old building as it has more heritage than the new building. Very close to the Hemingway store where Gou Huan checked in The classic car distribution center is also near the hotel. The swimming pool on the eighth floor is nice but the facilities are old. Even if the air conditioner is turned off, there is still noise

There was an older lady at the front desk who was very poor in front desk service. When customers asked questions, she liked to ignore them. Consult about WiFi problems, and do not give solutions. When the customer says whether they can buy it, they can answer that they can buy it. But when customers pay to buy, they say they can't buy it and need to wait. During the later period when customers repeatedly asked whether WiFi could be purchased, taking advantage of the language barrier, they fooled customers to ask for tips. And there is no WiFi available in the room, only in the lobby. WiFi is charged by the hour. No hot water in the room, unable to take a hot shower.
