This is more like a hotel than a hostal, with spacious double rooms, ensuite WC and showers arranged round a central courtyard. Most of the rooms have windows opening on to the courtyard balconies. We were lucky enough to have a stained glass window opening on to the street in our room (Room 8), but this was a bit noisier,... More

Had booked my first package deal ever and was not sure if I would like the Hotel. To be able to have a choice I additionally booked the Convent. Reasons that I ended up booking Santa Brigida were the location and all the great reviews. These were the things that did not work for me: - room: I got room... More

As mentioned by others, the location of this option is perfect if you want to wander around Old Havana, and you can come and go at all hours, there is no curfew. The rooms are large and comfortable, particularly compared to the hotels and to other accomodation in Cuba. Everything works, nice shower, very clean, comfortable beds.... The breakfast was... More

The only thing I can say about this accommodation is wonderful. It's located in the heart of old havana, and havana is not the most quiet place on the earth, and as soon as you entered hotel after spending a day walking around, all you can hear is absolute peace and silence. Really good breakfast (ham, cheese, eggs, cereals, fruit,... More

After spending a week traveling in rural Cuba where sleeping conditions were less than optimal, the Santa Brigida Convent was a haven of peace and of comfortable sleep. The rooms are large with modern marble bathrooms. The breakfast included was delicious. And the location can't be beat. It's right in the middle of Old Havana.

Strongly recommend this hostal as an oasis of peace and love in the middle of the shocking reality of the daily life in Havana. It's almost like a refuge, a retreat and allow you to regain the serenity and strength to discover and enjoy the hidden treasures of "La Habana".

Nice and clean! Quiet, too. TV- for those starved for it. CNN. Breakfast was fine.

My church group stayed here for a week, and we had no idea what to expect. Austere cells, perhaps? Well, we were pleasantly surprised. The photos do not lie. The architecture and ambiance are utterly charming, and the rooms are spacious and clean, with air conditioning (individually controlled), a private bath, and satellite TV. When we arrived, there were two... More

The location is perfect, in the middle of old Havana, with walking distance to most of the sights, and on a pedestrian street. The building was an aristocratic house before it was converted into a convent+hotel. Like many old houses in Havana, it is built around an inner patio – or, rather, three of them. A profusion of flowers and... More
