I had a great stay at this hotel, but the beds in the hotel were quite uncomfortable, I asked for a wake up call 3 times and never recieved one of them. I feel the decor in the room should be a bit better.
All in all the staff was excellent, the pool bartnder, and the staff in the dining area. I remember his name-Rapael, he did the activities, he was great!!!!! Staff was very friendly....Loved it!!!!!!

The hotel is grand and in good repair. The lobby is very nice, though the white leather seating could use a good scrubbing or replacement. Piano player was a nice touch. Bar is open 24 hours and the drinks are good.
There are some rooms with no windows. We stayed in a room with a street view. You could hear the sounds of the city but the great thing is there is no motorized vehicle traffic allowed in the streets around this hotel. Music plays at a couple of nearby locations during the day and evening. All music stopped by 11:30 pm every night. We did not find the noise to be really loud or overwhelming at all and there wasn't any disturbing noise in the morning to wake us, either. If you're expecting to stay in a place that is very quiet, I wouldn't advise staying anyplace in the centre of a city.
We only ate breakfast at this hotel and it was ok. We found that any food in Havana is mediocre at best and there are often shortages resulting in some items not being available on the menu. No one goes to Cuba for the food.
This is a great location for exploring old Havana and one of the nicest hotels in the area.
