Pleasant Stay
Pleasant stay. Building was clean, quiet and staff was just wonderful. The family taking care of the place was warm and friendly. Havana is generally a safe city but they still had a security guard at the entrance overnight which is comforting as a solo traveler. Location was also in the heart of Old Havana making it a bit easier to get to my favorite places.

Bad experience
It was not a nice place, there is no reception and no good staff who could help me with proper check in/out and other questions, it is not a hotel and I didn’t feel comfortable there. My room door was not properly closing and although I informed the owner they did not care insted of only saying it was an old door. The property was very loud in the night and early morning so it was impossible to have a proper sleep :( hotel staff does not know English and their attitude was not very nice. Even the last day i got locked outside the hotel (the entrance door is always locked) and they cut the internet although I asked them to keep it until my taxi arrives, it was a very bad experience. I had to stay there 4 nights and I regreted it. I don’t recommend it at all.

Low-pressure stay in a great location
Very low-pressure, I barely saw the staff or anyone else, but I knew where to find them. The aesthetics are pretty, and the location is perfect. Safe, with a security guard at nights. No free wifi, but I knew that when I was booking. Also the room did not have any natural light, so if you like to wake up from the sun, choose a room with windows

very good accommodation, legal and attentive team. large room. air conditioning cools well. The only point that I found faulty was the wifi, we had to ask for access and they unlocked the wifi password request and we were able to connect but they said it was only for an hour because the wifi was sold by them with access cards but they were without the cards for sell... I asked again after that 1 hour they released me for another 30 minutes, and the next day another 30 minutes... I think the only bad point would be that wifi is not available like in other hotels and it's kind of annoying having to stay asking for access and appearing to be a favor. The owner of the accommodation is a very good and lively person. the breakfast is good, fresh food made to order and tasty

We stayed here for a week with my friend, first time in Cuba and we loved it. It’s located in the center of Old Havana and we walked everywhere. Cosi, the woman in charge, greeted us as soon as we arrived and from there on she was there for us on every aspect of our trip. Manuel was also fantastic, helped us with taxis and recommendations on where to go and helped us saved money as we have never been to Cuba before and we were not familiar how things worked. Breakfast was excellent, they served us so much food that we felt bad when we couldn’t finished it. The hotel was clean and felt like home. We left Cuba on Monday and our heart was heavy. We wouldn’t had have the experience we had if it wasn’t for Cosi and Manuel. I feel we became part of a family now. I highly recommend this property, you will not be disappointed

Good location. Practically no communication with the agebt/owner/anyone working there. I’ve sent them texts via Whatsup, i’ve contacted them through Expedia, received NO reply back at all. Property is as discribed. No one cleaned the room for entire duration of the stay. Same goes with changing towels/toilet paper. Water pressure in shower very weak. Very loud at night. Like VERY loud. I understand that it goes with any place in old Havana during the night, so no particular fault if the place, but be prepared to have very loud music and screaming all night long.

What a gem hidden in Old Havana. From the moment we arrived to be greeted by the wonderful Jorge to the moment we left to be waved off by Jose-Luis, our experience at Hostal el San Juan was wonderful. Breakfast on the roof terrace was a particular highlight (even in the rain under the canopy). Another highlight was sitting in the communal area in the evening with a glass of wine listening to the world go by outside. The staff could not do enough for us. The choice at breakfast was really good and cooked on the spot once you had placed your order. The property has been beautifully restored with such attention to detail. We would recommend Hostal el San Juan and the incomparable staff to anyone. We will return.

Hello. What kind of security guard do you have? I booked for my two daughters; Two young girls locked themselves in the room and were afraid to come out. He behaved inappropriately. I'm angry and upset. I booked a hotel in the center of old Havana for them to walk around Havana. They were afraid to go out.
