Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
House was nice, great character however it was very old and in much need of renovation. However the stay was comfortable other than a serious altercation at 5 am one morning with three French visitors shouting and physically fighting outside my room, banging, kicking and knocking furniture over. It was extremely scary especially as there were no staff onsite overnight. Very worrying for a single female traveller. The owner and her sister however were very helpful despite not being at the property consistently.

Very comfortable B&B style with a delightful open-air courtyard perfect for breakfast or just reading and relaxing. Lots of nice touches like robe, fresh daily towels, even a turn-down mint nightly.

muy recomendable, la situación es excelente para llegar a pie a casi todo. Todo el staff es muy agradable y te hacen sentir en casa desde el primer momento. Desayuno estupendo. Nos alojamos al principio y al final de nuestro viaje por Cuba. Nos ayudaron con los traslados y sugirieron restaurantes y excursiones. Gracias por vuestra hospitalidad, nuestro hijo también estaba muy contento. Nos encantaría volver algún día.

Bonita casa menos de diez minutos caminando del Capitolio. Limpia, con wifi gratis y desayuno incluído. Sin cortes de luz. A tener en cuenta que hay que comprarse el agua en tiendas que encontraréis cerca. No es accesible para silla de ruedas ya que no hay ascensor. Nos recomendaron el restaurante Teniente Rey 360 muy cerquita y muy rico. ¡Recomendada!

Great location, walking distance to the main tourist attractions. We were a little worried about the noise when we arrived as a lot was happening outside, but the rooms are at the back of the house and very quiet. Breakfast was included and it was amazing. Melisa was waiting for us in the house, she gave us great advice about drinking water, money and nearby restaurants.

Outstanding value. Be aware that this property is located in the heart of the decay in Havana, and a general, in Cuba. There's garbage on the street, dog poop all over the place, the smell of urine at every corner, it's like a war zone with a mix of smiling , sad,and neutral, local faces walking around

I recently stayed at Doña Isabel - La giraldilla and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional friendliness of the staff. From the moment I arrived, they greeted me with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. Throughout my stay, they went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Whether it was offering helpful local tips or promptly addressing any requests, their dedication to customer service was truly outstanding. I left the hotel feeling not just like a guest, but like a valued member of their community. Kudos to the staff for making my stay memorable and enjoyable!
