Our hosts were extremely kind, always ready to help and advise. The rooms were pleasant, clean and comfortable. The shower and air-conditioning worked very well. We stayed for a week and it went very well. We slept very well in general. You can sometimes hear noise from the street, the TV, phone calls or the air conditioning, but it all stops at a reasonable hour. Havana is a lively place, and that's part of the atmosphere. But I think this place is very quiet compared to others. To get to Old Havana, it's a 15-minute walk or, for a few dollars, you can take the Bici. It's all part of the experience. So I thank our hosts for having us here. For me, Havana will always be marked by their smiles and kindness.

Iddara and Ronald are amazing hosts! We enjoyed our stay. It's a great value-for-money hotel in Central Havana.

Please see my later detailed review for the second time we stayed here, from 10th to 11th February. The fact that we came back here to stay a second time says it all. Good value option in central Havana.

Lovely hostess, very caring. Makes sure that you are alert to possible scammers and will point you to where you can change your USD at the right rate. Beds good, usual good breakfast. Clean filtered drinking water free from the fridge. Breakfast area nice and cool in the heat. Location central in Havana in what looks a rundown, yet very safe, area about 20 minutes walk, or a USD10 taxi ride from the Capitol. Restaurant round the corner where the locals eat, provided very good and cheap evening meals. Good value, even after allowing for breakfast on top and taxi rides to the Capitol area. TIP: make sure you bring soap, which must be in short supply in Cuba, as it is not provided, like in most of the Casas Particulares that we stayed in. Wifi is available, at a cost, but you need to ask for it and be prepared to pay for it (I don't think that it is expensive). Final point: stay here rather than a hotel to meet real locals. At least this way your money will go to the locals rather than funding the lifestyles of the incompetent politicians. Also the food will be fresh and not re-used as is commonly the case in hotels, apparently. HTH

I regret to inform you that my experience at this hostel was unsatisfactory. The rooms weren't so impressive, lacking the expected wow factor. The proximity of the breakfast area to the rooms led to considerable noise, detracting from the overall stay experience. The location of the hostel wasn't as conveniently close to everything as anticipated. Despite booking two double rooms for me and my friend, the owner left us without the second guest's accommodation, and there was no prior information about occupancy restrictions. When we addressed our concerns, the owners' behavior was rude. We received only ironic responses and warnings of eviction. Despite staying only half of the booked days, there was no refund. Overall, the unprofessional behavior was disappointing.

An excellent option to stay in when in Havana. Everything is within walking distance and the hosts are wonderful people.

Safe and secure and easy walk into old Havana along the coast. Area around was shabby and dirty

the property was good, the people in charge really nice but not really helpful about places to see or visit they didn’t even had a person to call to take us to the airport, the property doesn’t have internet or even the possibility of connecting even if you buy the cards that give you access to it. It is really close to the malecon but if you want to get to actual Old Havana you need to walk for about 20 to 30 minutes. Even more if you want to get to New Habana. In general a good experience

The place is very comfortable and the location is perfect, being close to the Habana vieja and the center of the city. And although being right in the middle of those typical agitated Habana's neighborhoods, where you can feel a true sense of the city's energy, the place is extremely quiet! Last but not leats, the hosts are super kind and thoughtful! Next time in Habana, we will book Tu & Yo once again, for sure! Gracias!!

nice and very friendly place to stay.

nice and very friendly place to stay.

It was the perfect home base to explore Havanna. The rooms are basic but decorated with gusto and all the facilities are new. The air conditioning units are silent and efficient and, crucially for Cuba and especially Havanna, drinking water is provided free of charge. In general, the couple who runs the place couldn’t have been nicer, more welcoming and more helpful with everything we needed. (That includes laundry, currency exchange, and procurement of the finest cigars.) The neighborhood, like most of the city, looks extremely run-down, but you always feel safe and it really couldn’t be a more “authentic” experience—for lack of a better word. Everything is at a walking distance, the old town, the Malecon, Barrio Chino, La Guarida restaurant and the Vedado, where we got our rental car. You can park on the street outside the building and it’s absolutely safe, and of course free.

Very good location and walkable distance from the very centre. Nice and clean property. The hosts were very nice and friendly people; however, they do not speak English, and this is a problem for someone like us, who does not speak Spanish. You do need google translate, and I would advise removing from the property description that the host speaks both English and Spanish.

What a wonderful start in Habana. We felt at home! Cosy place next to the Malecon. Friendly hosts and exceleent breakfast! WE will come back whenever in Habana

Fantastic people! They could always offer you a helping hand and made our stay unforgetable.

Wonderful friendly hosts who went over and beyond to assist us during our stay. The room was very hygienic, spacious and all amenities worked well. The room was good value for money and within walking distance to Havana’s main attractions. Overall excellent accommodation in Havana.
