Casa Vlady and Yami

My husband and I stayed three night in a private room. We felt welcome and very safe. The family shared their dinner one night with us since it was getting late so we didn't have to go out. We will come back. The Baileys

A great place that is close to a major landmark (Latinoamericano staduim) so it is easy to find by taxi or walking. My only issue was that it advertised breakfast included, but it wasn't.

According to the pictures,those times werw long time ago. Today you are confined to a dormitory with not facilities at all and separate from the quarters of Vlad.They don't sell any foodand there is only a small fridge.Not a teapot or anything to cook some eggs.Not tv to watch the news or see how Cuban tv is.For the location is about 25 blocks from the malecon.There is a bus (18)that goes to the old part but you have to wait 1 hour.If one day I go back to Havana I will choose a plce closer to the malecon and with more facilities.

Such a vibrant a lively place to stay, meet new friends & travellers. A fair walk from the touristy Old Havana area, but it makes up for it with the price of food and other amenities around the neighbourhood. Authentic Cuban experience. Will be visiting again soon! Thanks Mira.

I don't like someone smokes outside.

Friendly and helpful staff. Small and easy to meet other guests. Good value for money and nice to be in a more residential neighborhood that isn't touristy.

near baseball stadium.and the revolution plaza. but it was a bit noisy because of trucks and some roomates let the door opened to the balcony.

The room was clean and quiet with comfy beds. I slept very well. Staff was nice but the ladies didn't speak english very well, I heard the husband had fluent english but i never met him so can't really tell, The location was okey, but it was a bit far away from the city centre maybe 40 min walk but you can catch a collectivo to the old havana from the bigger street near the hostel. The building where the hostel is looks a bit scary first but the people there are very friendly. I would stay there again!

The hostel is quite far away from the city centre, but very close to the revolution square and university, and the area has very cheap places to eat. The owners are really nice and welcoming and helped me a lot, also with planning of the rest of my trip. Only downside, they asked me to pay 60% more than what was written on the site and on the reservation. Sadly I had no idea how it works in Cuba and decided to pay, but for this price, there are a lot of better possibilities in the city.

Really friendly and helpful owners. Nice end clean place. To go to downtown by cap it cost 5 cuc.. Or 30 min walk..

The best place, the best family and - of course - the best coffee of Havana!

The owner was so friendly and made us feel very welcome. Very good value for money and you can get a taxi in Havana for cheap, or walk to the square just up the road. Would definitely recommend.

the hostel was very nice, ,with a balcony and one 6 bed dorm and a separate bath room. even with address it was not so easy to find the hostel, as in the area there are at least 2 hostels, but people from the building were very helpful.

The owner and employees of this hostal are amazing, very friendly and helpful. They even got me a birthday cake!

Fantastic hostel in Havana. Not near old town but if you're looking to explore all of Havana as good a location as any at all. Particularly fantastic though are the owners - they make this place. Helpful but also fluent in English and full of information, not just local but historical. Chatty and welcoming too, nothing too much trouble. Recommend the breakfast! Also as a genuine hostel, ie has a dorm, good place to meet others. Most places in Cuba are Casa's which is great but can get lonely. Overall, can't recommend highly enough.

this hostel is close to Revolution Square and the national theatre. You should be aware that it is not in the centre of town. Great for the baseball games though, as it is opposte the stadium!

I lived in different places of Havana, but this was the one that I returned to at the end of my trip, I think this tells a lot. I lived in the little room, just perfect. The owner and the staff (Hugo) are very helpful, it is clean, always with hot water, and the price is very reasonable. It's a bit off from downtown, but I always walked, 20 minutes, the most. Really recommended.

far out of the city, difficult contact by mail,took a long time to get answers, but that is because of cuba and their bad internet connection, hard to find, especially when you arrive late at night, not indicated outside that big blue building, my cell phone didn´t work, so no chance to call, i had luck with my neighbour in the plane

Havana Club Hostel is a clean and tidy appartment with excellent staff in Nilda and Lester. They were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The hostel is centrally located but a fair distance (40 minute walk) from Habana Vieja. I would recommend this hostel to anyone who wants a simple base from which to explore all of Havana and who would like to meet some very nice and outgoing local people.

It was my second stay in this hostel and I loved it. The owner and his family are really friendly and they help you to plan your trip through Cuba with a lot of informations. The hostel is located in Vedado and you need half an hour for a walk to Habana vieja or 5 min. with a taxi.

Great stay and value, cheapest hostel for your money with great staff and owner. They are very helpful to give explanations and directions where to go. Highly recommended!

Kann ich jedem Backpacker empfehlen!

For the (solo) backpackers who don't want to stay in a casa because you wont meet other people and its expensive (20-30 CUC) I found a great and I think one of the only hostels in Havana.

Nilda (65) is a lovely woman who lives with her husband and son on the 7th floor, while they have a second apartment on the 10th floor which they rent as a hostel. It counts 3 bunkbeds, has a living room, kitchen, bathroom and a balcony with great skyline view so a total capacity of six. She really makes you feel her new granchild and stuffs you with enormous breakfasts (omelette, toast, fruits, cake, coffee, juice) and dinners (rice, potatoes, chicken, pork, fruits, salads, dessert > you can also ask her for a special wish)

> 5 minutes walk from the Revolution Square and 15 min with a shared taxi or bus to the centre.

> 8 CUC a night, 4 CUC for breakfats, 6 CUC dinner.

Absolutely a hidden pearl in a capital with very little hostels.

p.s. Check my photos on Tripadvisor!

low price, cleany, not so central

The hostel is located a bit outside the city center, but it's a nice neighborhood and the hosts and the manager Lester are really nice and helpful. I'd say the stay is well worth the cost!

A good place to stay for people, who like to travel cheap!The owners are very friendly and ready to support you! The hostal is clean and its likely to meet many other nice backpackers there !

I went here with my sister and we stayed for a couple of nights. Really good the staff can speak perfect english! I strongly recommend this place!!

A beautiful place to stay! The owners are very warm and welcoming, and go out of their way to give you any extra information that you might need. Comfortable beds and clean facilities. Highly reccommended.
