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.

Fabulous staff, lovely room
The staff here were incredible - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The breakfast was great, as was the bar in the evening. We had our first mojito out of a teapot - definitely to be recommended! Adrian, Thuran, Jorge and Luisandra (apologies for any typos!) were all amazing - thank you so much for making our stay so special. Karen and Steve

Great hotel, great experience!
We lives out trip to Havana and especially at Hostal Balcones Muralla. Jorge was great at welcoming us and making us comfortable. He also was great with this restaurants recommendations. He made us feel comfortable and gave us good tips about the city. The staff was always nice with us and wanting to help. Breakfast was a great experience. Nothing fancy but very tasty. The neighborhood was great too. We felt we were part of the real Havana life. It was a bit noisy at night but if you are light sleeper, bring some earplugs. We feel it’s the case in every parts of the city and only the 5 stars conventional hotels would be quieter. We loved our experience and we will recommend it to all our for friends.

The staff at this Hostal were exceptional. They were incredibly helpful and attentive. We particularly enjoyed the New Years Eve party on the roof terrace. The rooms were very clean and the breakfasts very enjoyable. The Hostal was manned 24/7 by either Jorges, Torah or Adrian all of whom went out of their way to make our stay a pleasant one. The property is a few blocks from The Plaza Vieja which is a central point in the old town so very convenient for everything. The property is decorated in the the Art Deco period with many features from this period. One of the properties owners - Richard was very helpful with our personal arrangements. Highly recommend.

An incredible place, in easy walking distance of the Capitol building and most of the areas of interest within Old Havana. Breakfast was wonderful and the rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff were the highlight with everyone being so helpful - we had our luggage lost by the airline and the staff went out of their way to help us with clothes, toiletries and even money! Couldn't thank them enough and would definitely stay again.

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.
