We stayed in room 6. We'd read from previous TripAdvisor reviews not to take room 5 because of the noise from the generator. Beware. You can also hear the generator in room 6! So, I didn't sleep too well here, but that shouldn't put you off this hotel. It is lovely, small, friendly and in a great location for old... More

We booked a couple of nice hotels for the beginning and end of our Cuba trip. This was the first hotel we stayed in and having read the previous reviews expected that this was the standard to be expected in Cuba: couldn't have been more wrong. We stayed in Casas for most of our trip which were 20% of the... More

We've literally just returned from a two week holiday in Cuba and spent our first 2 nights here. It was the perfect place for us to explore Havana from as it's situated right in the centre of the old town near lots of fantastic sights, walking tours and opposite a particularly nice paladar called Paladar Los Mercaderes. The building was... More

This is a well located hotel in Old Havana in an old house. It has good size rooms but they are in need of some updating. The towels are small and thin and the beds uncomfortable. Breakfast is poor and in general the service needs to be taken up to another level. It is an OK place to stay because... More

This was my first stay in Cuba. Despite a late arrival at Havana airport, the staff at the front desk were attentive and quick. Luggage was taken up to the room, which was around a delightful colonial atrium. The room was spacious with a high ceiling, and there was a clean bathroom with shower as well as television and a...

My friend and I stayed in Hostal Conde de Villanueva to end our amazing trip to Cuba and, boy, were we disappointed. We'd stayed in so many lovely casas along the way, with welcoming families and surprisingly good food. Based on other reviews of Hostal Conde de Villanueva, including the Lonely Planet recommendations, we had high hopes. We were wrong.... More

I've probably stayed at the Conde de Villanueva 6 or 7 times now, and I enjoy it each time more. Now, even though I've rated it Excellent, there are some problems -- this is Havana, no matter what hotel you stay in there are going to be little things that go wrong, whether it's a big Euro chain or a...

I started visiting this hotel years ago because its Casa del Habanos had a good reputation. I don't smoke many cigars these days because I usually have a camera stuck to my face and a cigar deserves a little more contemplation and quiet appreciation. That being said, Hostal Conde de Villanueva is an institution in Havana with a rich past.... More

There's a lot to love here. The beautifully restored building, the terrific location, good breakfasts, huge rooms and comfortable beds. We stayed here our first two nights in Cuba, and it was a terrific introduction. Two small warnings: the hotel is located within the pedestrian-only section of the old city, and our taxi driver didn't really understand where it was.... More
