My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and had a lovely view of the ocean, equipped with all the necessary amenities like a comfortable king-size bed and a flat-screen TV with many English channels. However, the carpets were dirty, and the bathroom could use some upgrading. The service, while efficient in taking care of the room, fell short due to staff behavior, a lack of politeness, and overuse of air freshener. The location in Vedado was great for exploring nearby restaurants and nightlife, but it may tire you out if you walk back to the hotel. Dining was a highlight with an excellent choice of breakfast items and a beautiful setting, although some areas felt old-fashioned. Overall, the facilities were acceptable, but there were minor inconveniences like overcharging. Despite the drawbacks, the hotel has a nostalgic charm and a scenic location on the Malecón.

I had a great stay at this hotel located in a very convenient spot with a nostalgic atmosphere. The rooms were comfortable and in pretty good condition, with the added bonus of a very cozy bed. The sixth floor's exclusive check-in/out, currency exchange, and complimentary breakfast made the experience even better. However, the service was a bit inconsistent, with regular air freshener sprayings but some unhelpfulness and impoliteness. The location was fantastic, with lovely surroundings featuring outdoor dining options and beautifully manicured grounds, although a bit tiring to walk back from the city. The dining options were a mix; while the breakfast was limited, the variety of other choices was excellent. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay.

The hotel offers a lovely view of the ocean and comfortable king size beds with various amenities, but the rooms are barely adequate with some maintenance issues and noise concerns. The service is friendly but inconsistent, and the location provides a taste of Cuba's rich history though not without drawbacks. The dining options are fabulous with a superb atmosphere, and the facilities are well-equipped.

The hotel offers suites on the executive levels with adjoining rooms and own bathrooms, but the rooms are quite run down with uncomfortable beds and a smell of old damp. The dining experience varies from basic buffet style to a superb ambience with classical music; however, the quality of food can be inconsistent. Friendly staff are offset by some unhelpful behavior. The location provides historical charm but can be tiring to reach on foot. The facilities are decent but may lack modern amenities.

Staying in two adjoining rooms with own bathrooms and a shared lounge room on the eighth floor was a fair experience, considering the check-in time. The hotel's service is fantastic, especially the 24-hour white glove service offered. The location offers a taste of history with original decorations and a gallery of famous visitors, though a bit out of town. The dining area provides a superb ambiance with endless breakfast options and live music, keeping guests satisfied throughout the day.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were spacious and had some high-end toiletries, there were some issues with cleanliness like dirty carpets and an outdated bathroom. The service, although friendly and helpful, had a concerning incident of leaving my room open for an hour. The location was convenient for exploring Vedado and enjoying the Malecon, despite some tiring walks back. The dining options were limited, with low-quality food, but the live music was enjoyable. Overall, the facilities were decent but could be improved.

Staying at this hotel was quite a mixed experience. On the one hand, the historical charm of being close to where Frank Sinatra stayed was intriguing, but the cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired. The hotel's location next to the ocean was wonderful for enjoying mojitos and sunsets, yet inconsistencies in pricing were a downside that we encountered.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of historic charm and some areas needing improvement. The rooms, although clean, showed signs of age that added to the atmosphere. The service was hit or miss, with some staff being incredibly friendly and helpful while others lacked politeness.
