We stayed here for 4 nights (not continuously) during a tour of Cuba and 3 different rooms. The first thing one needs to do when reviewing a hotel in Cuba is to ratchet down one's expectations a notch as all of Cuba is poor and dis repair is slow to be changed. The overall feel to this place is it... More

I was client of this hotel for the 3rd time in the last 3 years. I paid around 70 euros for a double with breakfast. First of all, I have to state that I know the country for many, many years and have therefore the experience of the Cuban reality... Positive aspects for this hotel: the position within Vedado, close... More

The Hotel is in the centre of Havana, it is the tallest building. Very Large rooms - even if you are a sole occupier. Considering the hotel was built in the late 1950s for HILTON it is fairing amazingly well with little maintenance. The hotel is clean. There are plenty of lifts. There were some issues with the air con... More

The hotel has greatly improved since my last visit some years ago. There are still two pending matters: elevators do not work efficiently and air conditioning in some rooms is not functioning at all. Otherwise the staff was very professional and other facilities were of good standard.

We were on the 21st floor and the views over the city were stunning.Its a bit tired now but beds were very comfortable and... More

A good location, good sized hotel and rooms befitting its Hilton pedigree with great views and ambiance in some areas but that Cuban sense of slight decay, with the pool not working and no fitness and services patchy with some staff unable to speak english or to convince of any concept of customer service. Simply put, install some good management... More

My family spent 3 nights in Havana and loved being at the Havana Libre. We were on the 17th floor on a corner overlooking Copelia and la Rampa. The views of the city and malecon were priceless. The breakfast was quite comprehensive and my daughter loved swimming in the pool. We found the pool to be clean compared to other... More

Originally the Hilton the rooms are large and well equipped including a 42inch tv and spacious bathroom with shower gel and shampoo provided.

The service oriented culture does not exist in Cuba and one can feel quite vulnerable when the attendants do not scramble to your help as you approach the desk, the waiter, or somebody behind a desk. The hotel has seen better days, but the room still had that awesome splendor of a bygone era. Our room was at the 24th... More
