Fabulous oasis really well located in Old Town Havana. Staff are wonderful, really friendly and welcoming. Food is really tasty and the complimentary breakfast is great. The pictures on the website are accurate but it’s even more cosy and quaint. Rooms are well furnished and equipped - even the more basic rooms have everything you’d need and the signature rooms with large windows and balcony are very special. The location is perfect, it’s on a reasonably quiet street but only minutes walk from the very central large squares and all the cafes and restaurants. From what we’ve seen in Havana this is hard to beat. Don’t even consider one of the large govt run hotels over this place. No comparison!

Great private boutique family owned hotel in old Havana. 7 rooms in total, and also has a restaurant/bar serving breakfast (included in my room rate) and lunch. Lots of hot water in the shower, reliable power and wifi. Friendly staff (Yuliet, Serguey, and Amin) that can assist in advising and booking all your needs. Conveniently located within walking distance to all the main downtown attractions. Highly recommend!

This was the best possible place to arrive to Havana. The hotel liaison, Liber, met us upon our arrival and gave us a really warm welcome, helping to orient us to the city and country. Liber, Serguey, and the rest of the team were kind, accommodating, and made us feel at home. The room was spacious and the AC worked well and they had wifi throughout the space. The bar area was good as were the terraces and we appreciated the flexible breakfast timing. I would highly recommend taking a tour with Liber as well as he was incredibly knowledgeable. Would definitely stay here again and am grateful to these people for their hospitality and kindness!

A highlight in Havana! Highly recommend!
As soon as we walked into the hotel, we could tell it was the perfect hotel. Funky and cool decorating. Delicious food and drinks. Extremely friendly and helpful service (Juliette and all the staff). The hotel room was comfortable with excellent ac and a super cool bathroom set up. The hotel is also safe and secure. We got back late at night and it was gated up but a security guard quickly came to let us in. They gave us an excellent dinner recommendation which after a long day of exploring was perfect. Also the location is so close to the action. We highly recommend this hotel!

This property is a true gem in Old Havana. It is well situated and a short walk from many good restaurants and sites. The rooms are small but uniquely decorated and very comfortable. The staff is warm and welcoming. We loved the rooftop patio both in the mornings and in the evening. The small restaurant downstairs has fantastic ambiance and serves delicious food. I especially enjoyed my morning cappuccino. I hope to return and stay here again.

¡Excelente!
We absolutely loved our time at Residencia Santa Clara!! It was gorgeous, pristine, so comfortable, and in a great part of town. We loved the air conditioning and starfruit welcome drink after a hot day of travel and everyone was incredibly welcoming. The mojitos were the best we had in Cuba (fresh limes!), and we loved our chats with Serguey. Yuli was absolutely amazing and helped us feel at home; she also helped find a last minute taxi. The food and coffee! So delicious. We had amazing internet the whole time but luckily didn’t really need it because we were soaking up every second in Havana. The room was so comfortable; no noise, great view, excellent water pressure. The rooftop deck was incredible! We honestly could’ve stayed a week inside the hotel and been happy, it’s that wonderful. Worth every penny. Thank you for your hospitality and for giving us such an amazing experience! We’ll be back!

We had a fantastic stay at the Residencia Santa Clara. The staff were warm and welcoming. We want to give a special shout out to Sergay. He helped us find a wonderful excursion when our original plans were cancelled and we enjoyed our evening chats with him.

The area is improving, the hotel location is nice...there's no wifi in room #7 period. This needs to be looked into. I had to sit in the restaurant with night time security to access wifi. With the cost of the room this is unacceptable . I also feel the roof top deck needs quality improvement . My friends stayed at a hotel around the corner ( Bahia Havana) and the roof top restaurant/wifi was much better quality of of rooms better. As far as service and staff. I felt Residence Santa Clara had a better feel.
