Unique character with super friendly and helpful staff. Great location, easy to walk to the centre , just minutes away. This is Cuban with limited food in the country as a whole, so expect this reflectwd in the breakfast options (and in all restaurants in the country). Good place to stay if you want an authentic experience.

This charming hostal (really a boutique hotel) gave us an authentic taste of old Havana. It has a quirky, unique style with a lovely bar and balconies. We stayed here at the beginning and again at the end of our stay, so got to know the staff well. They were all incredibly friendly and endlessly helpful, making recommendations, booking taxis, transfers, changing money and answering all our questions. Jorge in particular was always around to help us in every way he could. We stayed in a small but comfortable room first then splurged on the suite on the upper floor, which was definitely worth the price. Both rooms had reliable WiFi, and a/c. We loved Cuba and when we go back to Havana we would definitely stay here again. Thank you to the whole team at Balcones Muralla.

Amazing Staff made us feel like family
This place was absolutely amazing. It is a very cute hotel in the center of old havana but the hotel staff and their attention to detail is what did it for me. Firs off and most importantly the staff makes you feel like family. They tell you the do's and donts of navigating the city they also helped us to book tours with local trusted drivers so we wouldnt get scammed. The food was amazing!!! I litterally ate breakfast there every day. The hotel staff is very attentive and very kind. I got a cold one day and at some point every single staff member checked on me and asked if there was anything they could do for me. This by far exceeded my expectations and i will for sure stay here next time im in town. Thank you staff for your hospitality and making us feel like family.

This is the place to start your visit in Old Havana. Staff was helpful answering questions before we arrived, arranged transportation from the airport, met us with a drink, changed our money, and gave us on-point advice for exploring. Staff was very engaging. And, some of the best food we had on the trip, both breakfast and dinner. They even accommodated my food allergy. Wonderful.

The staff in particular Sandor, Rolando and Jorge, were fantastic, so knowledgable and helpful with advising us on places to visit, the best places to eat and organising tours. It was so well maintained, clean and the breakfast and bar were wonderful, as was the environment, also a great location within close walking distance to everything. As with all of Cuba the electricity was a bit patchy (no fault of the hotel) just the way it is. I highly recommend Hostal Balcones Muralla.

The space itself is very well kept and charming, the dining common area and the rooms have a great vibe. Strong recommend if you are staying in Habana Vieja.

We absolutely loved our stay here at this beautiful historic converted home. From our arrival through to our departure and everything in between we received nothing short of the most amazing warm Cuban hospitality offered in Old Havana . Richard and his team bent over backwards to make our stay comfortable and memorable at Hostal Balcones. Mariana the manager is an absolute angel who made sure each day for us was easily planned organising bookings and transport along the way. The rest of the beautiful Balcones staff also made us so very much at home that we almost felt like family. It’s a thoughtfully restored historical home that has been filled with eclectic collections of antiques and curiosities and you really feel you are stepping back in time with so much to admire and enjoy. With a very generous breakfast included daily cooked by the lovely Louisandra the chef, to laughs and salsa dancing with our room maid Jordania followed by our vote of the best Mojito in Havana in a tea pot made by Mariana the mixologist manager our stay couldn’t have been more perfect. Do yourself a favour and get a taste of Cuban life in the centre of old Havana by booking your stay at this gem.

Exceptional hotel!
I thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to experience Havana Vieja. The hotel itself was really nicely decorated and extremely clean. The room was exactly how it looked in the pictures. The breakfast was probably the best I’ve had in Cuba. Various courses and far more creative than the standard Cuban breakfast. All the staff spoke really good English and were so friendly and helpful. They even helped by listening to some voice messages I had to help me translate them and reply so that I could organise my transport. On the night I arrived I didn’t want to go out for the evening so the barman sat and chatted with me, keeping me company and telling me the history of Cuba. A fantastic hotel! I will certainly be staying here again next time I go to Havana.

I loved this hotel. The staff welcomed me on arrival with a tasty cocktail and continued to be very warm and helpful throughout my two night stay. The full breakfast was delicious and filling. The location was perfect in the heart of Plazza Vieja. I did a night tour which ended just down the road from my hotel. The decor is unique with interesting relics on the walls and in the rooms. Next trip to Habana _ I will stay here again!
