The property was great along with employees. Very accommodating. The streets around the property were a little questionable but we never felt unsafe. It is similar to many areas of Havana.

The hotel is very good, friendly and very helpful staff. The stairs are a bit of an issue (62) to our room.
While the hotel is new and clean it is in the middle of a slum and you will be many blocks to find a decent restaurant.

Abseits der Touristenströme mitten im Wohngebiet erlebt man eine andere Seite Havannas. Die Unterkunft selbst ist relativ ruhig gelegen und ein angenehmer Rückzugsort mit hohem Standart für kubanische Verhältnisse. Trotzdem ist man in 10-15 min zu Fuß an vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Auch ein paar Restaurants sind ums Eck.

Amazing stay, best hosts & location
My recent stay in this hostal was an absolute delight. The host's genuine hospitality made the experience memorable. They were incredibly helpful and always available.
The location is ideal, placing you within walking distance of Old Havana's iconic spots.
The room is also very nice, including a little fridge with drinks at very reasonable prices and all necessary supplies. 10/10 recommend this hostal.

Moses and Elizer were the best hostes i have ever met. They were caring, friendly and professional. I left there feeling that I had left two family members behind. Lovely people that I will always appreciate. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

What a beautiful place and an amazing host! We absolutely loved our room and our terrace. What a view and such a cozy and beautiful place. Our host was very attentive and helpful with map, places not to miss and any other stuff we needed. The location was perfect - only 12 min to the main touristy hub. We loved it and would come back again.

So many insects flying at night. Maybe I was just unlucky bad too scared to go out from room during the night. They even kept came into my room from small gaps like under the door. I had to fill the gap to feel safe.

Hostal Los Villanueva offers a wonderful option for staying right in Habana Vieja. The dining area and balcony overlook the bustling street below, while the room that I stayed in was perfectly private and quiet. I was delighted that it had a kettle as well! The staff were most gracious and helpful at all times.

Gem in Old Havana
Worth a five-star rating. The hosts attend to every detail, even rising early to make us breakfast before our 6 a.m. departure for the airport. Our room was quiet, comfortable and spotless, with everything we needed -- including a mini refrigerator, safe and hair dryer. The bonus: Access to a sitting area and outside terrace, where we could get on wifi and refine our plans for the day.

Excellent hotel. The owner and staff are very friendly. The location is very convenient -- right in the heart of the old city, minutes away from all old city points of interest. The owner was helpful in exchanging Canadian dollars for Cuban pesos at a very good rate and arranged our transportation to Varadero. The breakfast is excellent. Would highly recommend.

Best Cuban Experience in Varadero
One of the best stays in Havana. The hosts were fantastic and made our Cuban experience awesome. They went out of their way to help with local transportation and giving us tips on places to go and see. The breakfast was great every morning. The room was clean and supplied with all the essentials. When I come back this is the Hotel I will always book. If you want a real Cuban experience with hosts are are fantastic, then this is one of the best. It should be rated a 5 Star hotel
