Hotels with Shopping in Cuba

I came to Cuba with low expectations due to the country's well known economic and infrastructure problems. The entire staff at Alhabana exceeded my wildest dreams. Every team member went above and beyond to make sure that our group of 6 people were well taken care of. They answered all of our questions, arranged tours and taxi rides, gave excellent restaurant recommendations, cleaned our rooms perfectly and prepared great breakfast foods. The Alhabana also has generator power to mitigate the effects of the scheduled daily power outages. The only minor issue is that the water pressure and temperature can be lacking at times. For people with a full head of hair (not me) it could be challenging. However, if it were a problem, I have no doubt that the staff could solve it for you. The surrounding neighborhood, like every other neighborhood in Havana, is noisy and dirty. There's absolutely nothing that Alhabana can do about it. The location is perfect. You can walk a couple of miles, or take a taxi, in any direction to see a huge amount of what Havana has to offer. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Comfortable, clean and character filled old Spanish style bedrooms. Spacious, green and airy communal areas in which to rest from the heat outside /read etc. Delicious breakfasts and dinners at extremly reasonable prices. Very competent and caring staff on hand at all times to meet our needs. Central location. Very highly recommended.

We landed in Cuba during an island-wide power outage. No problem . . . . the entire staff made extra efforts to make our stay terriifc. Jorge and Eveline are stars for Art Studio. Can't recommend a place more in Havana Vieja.
