I stayed at the Hostel Amatista for a few nights in October 2012. They couldn't do enough for me, our Hosts Jose and Hiraida were amazing. Singing and cooking and just generally making sure we were having a great time. Very relaxing time spent there, good location close to all the markets and shops. Highly recommend staying there if you... More

My friend and I stayed here for three nights in February and we loved every minute of it. It is a two minute walk from the main square with the museums and the casa de la musica. The rooms are huge and immaculate. The beds were really comfortable as well. There is a beautiful garden and roof terrace as well.... More

Breakfast was big and tasty, and cost not much. The place has great shady space to enjoy meals when it's really... More

Hiraida met us at the bus station, José made by far the best mojitos on... More

We can recommend this hostal without any hesitation and will definitely return if we should make another trip to Cuba. We arrived with a rental car: there is a private parking lot next to the hostal. To enter the historic center you have to tell the guards at the barrier that you are staying in the Casa Amatista and need... More

A very nice colonial casa particular. The hosts Hiraida and Jose were very welcoming and friendly, always smiling. The room was large, with ensuite bathroom and comfortable beds and it really takes you back in time, which is exactly what I was looking for in a colonial house. The two terraces are also great places to spend time during morning... More
