It is a very beautiful building, with impecable interior. It has such a amazing history, built over a fortress (you can actually visit some of the old pits and see cannons, with a very lovely tour guide). Big bedroom with comfy mattress. They have live music everynight , while you enjoy a mojito. Nice pool, good to spend the hottest... More

This hotel is beautiful. The grounds and lobby are wonderful. Then u go to your room. The rooms need refurbishing. There is the smell of mold and smoke. Air conditioning not acceptable, loud and does not keep the humidity down. The rooms were very clean as are most public establishments in Cuba. Service is excellent

Breakfast was fine with plenty of choice, seating can be hard to find at busy times. We had a set dinner one night... More

We spent four nights at Hotel Nacional as part of a tour. We were assigned to one of the grand rooms on the 2nd floor -- it had been the room of Tyrone Power in the 40s. It was a great trip back in time. The room was clean, the service was pleasant, breakfasts (and the one dinner we had... More

We organized a private tour with friends to Cuba in April 2013. We love heritage hotels and are willing to put up with a certain "funk factor" that always seems to be part of the package. We stayed two nights upon arrival in Cuba and two nights prior to departure, On our first check in were were shown to a... More
