We stayed for one night as part of an overnight tour operators excursion, so it was a pot luck allocated choice. I looked into this hotel when considering going to Havana independently in the past, so when told we'd be staying there I knew of it and expected it to be historic but run down. Overall I was very impressed.... More

This is a great hotel to experience Havana. You feel the 50s already in the lobby, this was the Havana Hilton after all and where else would you hop in an oldtime taxi in style? The rooms are large and offer panoramic view over the city. The pool is large and clean, the staff helpful, the cigar shop good. Do... More

I stayed at the Havana Libre from Nov 16-19, 2011. Hotel used to be the Havana Hilton before it was nationalized in 1962. Great location in Havana for restaurants and shops. The lobby/reception area has that 1960's feel to it. First the bad: They have an issue with the carpets in the rooms and hallways. They have a moldy smell... More

We stayed here on an overnight trip from Varadero.Chek in was a little slow,but then,nothing gets done quickly in Cuba so just chill out and accept it. Rooms are a little dated but comfortable enough.The sealant round the bath was growing mould and the toilet paper was the cheapest they could buy. The buffet meals were not of the best... More

I would prefer to stay in Old Havana, however, it is interesting to go a little further out to see more of... More

We based ourselves at this hotel for a 2 night stay before going to Varadero. Having been to Havana old town several times before, we wanted to look round Vedado, and the Havana Libre is ideally placed for that. The room we had (on the 9th floor) was large, bright and adequately furnished but the bathroom needed updating. The maid... More
