This was the best Casa we stayed in in Cuba, and I cannot recommend it enough. It is in an incredible location just around the corner from the Capitolio (our room even had a view of it) and our room (for two 21 y/o girls) had epic proportions, a kingsize and a single bed plus an en suite. Aleido is an incredible character who can't do enough to welcome you, he provides a completely free laundry service, and he cooks an amazing and generous breakfast at any time you'd like for just $5 (all the fresh fruit, smoothies, fresh coffee, eggs, bread, ham and cheese you could ask for).
The decor is incredibly bright and eccentric, and one room is up a long spiral staircase but Anibal carried our bags for us and there was a great view of the Capitolio. The room had powerful air-con, a dvd player, a safe, a sink and an en-suite and downstairs there is a nice social space with a TV.
The casas are great places to stay, they are much cheaper than the hotels and the owners can't do enough to make you feel welcome and to keep you safe - they alerted us to a scam on tourists, told us of cool events (like the afrocubana street parties) plus my friend didn't speak any Spanish and the hosts happily tried their best with English and international sign language! We were also taken on a night out to a cabaret by Anibal, and cooked the perfect hungover brunch at 2pm the next day. Anyone is welcome at Casa Aleido, it is gay friendly and also straight friendly as we were two 21 year old straight girls and we had an amazing time and felt very welcome with the hosts and other guests.

Back in June I stayed at Aleido´s with a friend and we booked two rooms. The rooms were nice and clean but needed some upgrade. Mr. Aleido and his staff were very gracious and sweet making sure our stay was perfect. We ordered breakfast every morning and had his famous Lobster Dinner one night ( all delicious). Casa Aleido´s location is great just outside Old Havana´s district and totaly safe day and night We plan on returning to Cuba and for sure will stay there again.

It looks/ feels a cross between a New Orleans bordello (circa 1900) and a bath house, where nothing much has changed in 114 years except the addition of air conditioning. Bedrooms have unique air conditioning venting into the central hall (Cubans are the true masters of improvisation / coping) and lots and lots of bright fabrics draped everywhere.

The host is gracious and campy.

The staff are kind. Many thanks Aleido. Hope you enjoyed your Belgium truffles!!

Aleido could charge 5 CUC admission, just to walk through, and visitors would not feel cheated.

The Moody Blues should consider a rewrite of their famous song and call it - Nights In Red Satin. Those lyrics went through my head in every step.

I was thinking about a Mojito on the roof deck but that 120 year old spiral iron staircase? Some things are best left to concept.

If you are asthmatic, stock up on Pulmicort and Ventolin and take at least 50 mg prednisone before venturing in.

The prednisone will give you a great appetite. I understand that excellent meals are available at Casa Aleido at abut 10 CUC

Los Nardos restaurant is just across from the Capitolio, a little to the South. Hope they have swordfish. They steam / bake it to absolute perfection.

I am a creature of habit and generally stick to the The Toke down by the Hotel Nacionale or La Torre on the FOCSA's 33rd floor.

The area is great central touring area in the day time. Half of Havana's sites are within a two block walking radius from

National Museum of Beautiful Arts of Cuba

Gran Teatro de La Habana

The Capitolio

Central Park (screaming sports debates )

Parque de la Fraternidad (could be very sketchy at sunset )

Paseo del Prado (dividing line between Centro Habana and Old Havana)

Chinatown (certainly worth a 5 minute walk through)

Museum of Decorative Arts - 4 CUC in Taxi but worth the visit

El Morro. Twenty minute walk to the boat across the harbour. Stunning views of Havana

Room tip: Go for the suite in front. Pretend you are a Dune Bene Gesserit witch and close your eyes and imagine the experiences of the many thousands who have gone before

My boyfriend and I (straight couple) stayed at Casa Aleido in March and had an absolute blast. The casa is so colourful and very kitsch decor wise, the hosts are really friendly and helpful and the food was AMAZING! Aleido made Ben a delicious vegetarian meal and I had some delicious prawns, rice, fresh fruit & vegetables etc!

Our room was huge with our own dining area, bathroom and balcony overlooking the street near Hotel Inglaterra / Havana Vieja which was amazing. Think there are 3 rooms at the casa in total but you have your own keys and it felt like we were renting our own flat, v.private.

Our hosts were really helpful when we had an issue with our flights, they got on the phone with the travel agents and sorted everything out (we don't speak much spanish) so we are really grateful for their hospitality!

If we return to Havana i'd stay here again!

Room tip: Try and get the "red room" with balcony!

This is a very popular gay-friendly casa in the city center just a few minutes walk from the Old Havana and the Capitol. We had a wonderful room with a terrace and a private bathroom upstairs. As very common in Cuba they prepare breakfast and dinner for you upon request which is a great economical and very tasty option.
