The lobby is huge and beautiful. The service great, and all clerks and bellboys speak english. The room was small, but it did what we expected. Air condition, nice bathroom and a balcony to the street. There was some trouble with the hot water, but if you're not in a hurry it'll be there if you let it run for... More

The hotel has a room that is set up as a museum of Hemingway's belonging. Quite charming like everything else in Cuba, but it also means an endless throng of tourists wanting to go up to the 5th floor. In other words - if you are staying there you never get the chance to take the elevator. I had to... More

This hotel was in a prime location for the buzz of central Havana. The lobby and bar area was lovely however the accommodation is pretty basic. We had upgraded to a junior suite which gave us a small balcony overlooking the street below and a slightly larger room. The rooftop restaurant and bar had lovely views over Havana and the... More

I agree with reviewer Sandie C.: By first world standards, the Hotel Ambos Mundos is just ok: smallish room, not a lot of light for reading, hot water not very available early in the morning. However, the staff are friendly, the rooftop restaurant is good and has a great view, there is music in the lobby (and in the street)... More

This hotel has old world ambience. By US standards, it was "just OK", but it was better than I expected. The lobby and top of the hotel terrace are lovely. The old elevator system added to the charm. We enjoyed breakfasts and evening entertainment on the terrace, which has a great view of the city. The hotel is in the... More

The hotel met expectations. It does not purport to be 5* and isn't, if you want that go to the Iberostar. The room was clean, functional and noise was not an issue (we were on the 4th floor - avoid the 5th as there are constant streams of tourists, all day, visiting Hemmingway's room). The hotel is basic but the... More

I was booked into the Hotel santa isabel but when I arrived in Havana, they mentioned that the Santa isabel was overbooked so was bumped to the Ambos Mundos for one night. I had coffee on the roof terrace before and thought it would be a nice hotel but it was the contrary. Rooms are very bare and dusty and... More

Were given rooms on the 5th floor, the top floor. Above is rooftop restaurant with tiled floor. All the chairs are heavy metal. Every chair movement can be heard in all the 5th floor rooms. Constant noise till pasty midnight then started again at 6 for breakfast. Rooms dire, no bedside lights, moldy, bathroom terrible. Breakfast canteen OK Great location,... More

We were booked in the Hotel Ambos Mundos as part of a tour run by the San Cristobal Travel Agency of Havana and Cuba Education Tours of Canada. This was not the hotel that was on the original tour itinerary, but we were a captive group with nothing to say about it. We knew from reading Trip Advisor.com postings prior... More
