The location cannot be beat and the price is great. Make SURE you ask for a room with a street view. Half the rooms in this hotel are inside rooms which have windows that look out into a covered courtyard and are depressingly dark. Also, on the weekends the courtyard has a band until 11:30 PM. Shouldn't be a problem... More

We travelled to Cuba through Friendly Planet’s Colors of Cuba People to People Exchange Tour (fully licensed by the US Treasury Department – only way for regular US Citizens to tour Cuba). We stayed at the Hotel Telegrafo upon our arrival into Cuba and returned to it after our visits to Trinidad and Cien Fuegos. The hotel is in Old... More

We have booked a double bedroom at this hotel but was told on check-in that only twin room was available, and the receptionist insisted that it was called 'double room'. The room was filled with smell of smoke and in need of serious upgrade. After staying in the nearby Iberostar Parque Central Hotel which only cost slightly higher(about GBP£15 per... More

Visited for one week in April 2013. Excellent Bed & Breakfast. Fantastic central location (if you stay at the Nacional you have to get taxis everywhere). Brilliant bars within 500 metres. Very good chamber maid.

Havana is all about walking around and taking in the sights and sounds and this hotel is perfect for that. Centrally located with restaurants, transport, attractions and the Malecon outside. The rooms were large and clean and the breakfast was good. Staff were helpful rather than friendly and the doormen were just for effect rather than useful but that doesn't... More

Hotel Telegrafo is on the "Paseo di Marti" right across the street from Parque Central and down the street from the National Cathedral and the National Capital. It is in a most interesting part of the city where one can walk down the Paseo to the Malecon on the water or just across the park to the "Floridita," the bar... More

A great base for exploring Havana - excellent location, friendly staff. Comfortable, good sized, clean rooms . Good breakfast, great veranda for watching people go by. We stayed here for the first 3 nights of our trip to Cuba and it was a perfect place to settle in, get over the jet lag and explore Havana from.

We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of March. The hotel has a charm about it, especially the dining hall. The rooms are a decent size and comfortable. We found the breakfast to be excellent with live music entertainment both mornings we were there. The Reception staff are efficient and helpful. We had one evening meal here and... More
