Nice hostel next to the Stadium Latinamericano. There are two rooms - one with 6 and one with 3 beds. I already stayed at Enzo's last year and I came back this year. Enzo and his family are just amazing!! To be highly recommended. :) See you soon. Sarah

Enzo and his family were very nice, I would definitely recommend his place. Also met very nice people there from all over the world. Furthermore there are more "Hostels" / "Homestays" in the same house. So if you travel alone it is easy to find other people to go out with for dinner.

Def the best place I stayed in Cuba. The owners of the hostel (Enzo and his lovely family) are the greatest people I met during my travels in this unique country. Very helpful, funny and carrying people. You will feel like at home straight away. Loved my stay here!!! and love you guys! Big thanx for everything!!!

A very friendly hostelowner, he stood up early to wake us up for the taxi. He also drove me to the other guesthouse so I didn't have to take an expensive transport. Clean rooms, drinking water available, comfortable beds.

Enzo's backpackers comes to mind as one of my best memories of my two weeks trip to Cuba. Clean and pleasant and in front of a wifi square, Enzo's best value it's Enzo itself. He incarnates all the good and nice things that distinguish cuban peole. That is a very nice experince to have given some cubans try to scam tourists, but don't fool yourselves, most of them kind-hearted and Enzo is one of the best examples you could find. Very recommended for an actual cuban experience

I like he hostel a lot. It is clean and the staffs there are friendly.

But if there is any point to be improved, it is that it would be better if hot water comes out of the shower not limited time but any time.

Enzo’s Hostel is really great. It has a great homey feeling and the hosts (Enzo, his parents and caretaker) are really welcoming and willing to help. Enzo was always up for having a chat or sitting down to answer my many questions. The hostel is popular and when I was there were many solo travellers so I always had people to socialise and explore the city with. The hostel is about a 45-minute walk from the main tourist areas (Havana Vieja, Vedado etc) and a 10-minute walk from the plaza de la revolution. It also has all the relevant bus stops nearby in case you don’t feel like walking. It also has a wifi spot located at the bottom of the building which is very convenient as internet in Cuba is restricted to designated hotspots and many hostels will not be so closely located to wifi. I’d recommend Enzo’s, so give his place a try and enjoy!

Cheap and convenient for backpackers. Well located (safe and quiet), even though not in the heart of the old habana. Warm welcome from the host who gives very useful informations for someone who just arrived to Cuba.

If you are looking for a hostel to stay in Havana, you have found it! Enzo's backpackers is honestly best and I stayed there during all of my time in Havana. Enzo is a great guy and he will help you with all your questions about Cuba. He is so helpful with the informations he provided while traveling in Havana. I highly recommend this place if you have the chance to meet Enzo his family!

Enzo is the friendliest and most helpful guy you'll ever meet. Staying with him (and his awesome housekeeper Luisa) is more than worth it as he is happy to help organise your whole Cuba trip and has heaps of connections all over the country. Definitely recommended. - Felix

I had made a reservation just for one night but eventually extended longer. I got to Cuba alone, but i could meet lots of cool people in this Hostel. Enzo and his sister helped me so much and gave me many useful tips which were very essential to travel Habana in budget. I had so much fabulous nights with this family and other backpackers. After one month trip i came back to this Hostel again and i was welcomed and warmhearted by Enzo and Enzo's mom and it almost made me cry!

If you travel alone and wanna meet other backpackers and in budget also if your spanish is not enough to pick some tips, i highly recommend this Enzo's backpackers Hostel.

We loved staying here. Clean & good value for money. Enzo's mom and sister were very nice, helped us a lot during our stay. There was wifi in front of the building which is a huge plus in Cuba. It was a bit out of center, but it was still in the middle of old & new Havana and walking distance to Revolution Square. Good way to see the different parts of the city.

I wholeheartedly recommend Enzo's hostel. Great value & clean. The location is outside the tourist areas but i liked that & it's easy to get to places. More than anything, Enzo & his family are really lovely, kind & helpful: as an example, they gave me a lift to the airport when I left as they were also going and wouldn't accept any money for fuel! I had a great time here - thank you!

I'm glad I chose to stay at Enzo's because I felt a genuine and heartwarming love from him and his family, I felt extremely safe and their willingness to help and suggest ideas goes a long way during your stay in Cuba.

I loved that the building is five minutes away from ViaAzul(bus station), right next door to a wifi park and a ten to fifteen minute drive to all central locations.

The people that I got to meet at Enzo's were all amazing and I know I made some lifelong friends. I ended up running into many of them throughout the island, literally.

I really wish I could have spent more time with the family and getting to know them. See you in two years. :)

the only problem is the stove isn't working so I had to cook in his house. But I loved the place. They are very kind and helpfull. The apartment is by the best wi-fi spot(the baseball stadium). There are restaurants, snack bards, barber shop, a minimarket etc near the building.

I had an amazing time at Enzo's hostel. The place was very clean, great atmosphere, and great location. The people that I met in the hostel were easygoing and friendly. There's also a cafe nearby with friendly locals and tourists. If you are traveling solo, the cafe is a good place to make friends, and Enzo's hostel is the place to be.

Enzo's is a great place, clean and no stress. Enzo is a great host who is always around and happy to help out with any issues or questions you have. The location isn't mega central but its no more than half an hours walk from everything you want to see in Havana. This has more beds than regular Casas which is great if you want to meet other travellers. Absolutely recommend!

I LOVED staying at Enzo's. It was so easy to find (right next to estadio latinoamericano) and was well located for a walk to the old town. this was my first (but not last!) time in Cuba and enzo took the time to sit down with me and help me plan my trip, showing me pictures from different parts of Cuba and giving me recommendations. The room was ideal, sharing with others so a chance to meet people as I was travelling alone. I'll be back! Thank you!

What an amazing host Enzo has been and what wonderworld Havana is.

I truely enjoyed my time there and when I was in need most I was helped by Enzo with really no dramas.

This guy is so positive.

The room and facilities got cleaned every day. The location is close to old Havana and very close to the baseball stadium. The value is cheap as chips and I highly recommend to stay there if you need to find a travel buddy!

Sorry Enzo I wanted to come back and stay with you but I messed up the airport with Varadero :-) next time for sure!

Enzo is the MAN! The entire trip was a success thanks to his hospitality and knowledge of Cuba. I highly recommend his hostel. It is away from the tourist area, central to seeing things in Havana, easy to get good food and drink nearby, and the entire experience was top notch thanks to his place. Enzo is a great guy. All hostels should have an Enzo! Thank you so much for a fabulous trip to Havana. We will be back!

The host Enzo is really helpful with fluent English, and provided useful information to guide me travel all Havana city major attractions and even personal secret spot.

There is a baseball Stadium just next to the hostel with public WiFi coverage, and it's bravo for visitors to access internet by prepaid WiFi card sold 2 cuc for 1 hour use.

Hostel is located local residential area, so everything nearby is very cheap than staying in famous tourism area.

I will recommend the backpacker to stay here.
