Lovely, friendly hotel in heart of Old Havana - We stayed at Hostal Balcones Muralla for 4 nights. We loved the charm and character of this lovely old hotel, and the location right in the heart of Old Havana... read more was perfect. Sarai and her mum, Tony and the other staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We loved having breakfast overlooking the bustling street below every morning, and particularly enjoyed Sarai's mum's delicious omelettes.
We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to soak up the authentic feel of Old Havana.

We knew we wanted to stay at a private business, as anything else is operated by the Cuban government... read more (please look up how to keep your tourism money out of their hands) and we took the plunge on Balcones Muralla. Rooms are clean, staff is outrageously friendly, generous, and helpful. We could not have picked a better place to stay. This is the place we will always come back to on our future travels to Cuba as Americans.

  This hotel combines the beautiful, unique interiors of a boutique hotel with a warm family welcome of a casa- which was perfect! The location couldn't be better- right in the... read more heart of Old Havana. The staff were great and on arrival asked me what I would like to see or do during my trip and then made all the arrangements for me. They made some excellent recommendations- which turned out to be some of my best moments in Cuba. My suite was just stunning- the balconies, the bathroom, the chandeliers! I have been watching the hotel be renovated on Facebook over the past few years and my visit did not disappoint. I will definitely return soon! More
