Casa Novo Guest House - Havana, Cuba

Upon arriving at the hostal, we were told there was a problem with a guest and that we could not stay there. The hostal was next to a very loud bar. Family came to pick us up to stay in their hostal, which was ok. The room was tidy and comfortable, breakfast was super. We had to leave the room though at 11pm (although we arrived very late in the evening) or if we wanted to keep the room longer, we had to pay 5 CUC extra. We were allowed though to change our clothes when leaving for the airport, without extra costs. Hosts were kind, but gave us the impression that all that mattered was the money.

Highly Recommended. The Casa Novo house was our first and last stop our my visit to Cuba. The owner speaks great English and was very helpful and great resource especially as we were first time visitor. Both rooms we used were comfortable and our belongings felt very secure. It is an a perfect location, 20-30 minutes walk to the heart of either the Vedado or Old Havana districts and 5 minutes from the boardwalk. There are plenty of nearby options for food and at least two extremely nice restaurants within a block's distance(We had our finest meal in Cuba at 'La Concordia' which is just down the street). My only complaint is that the optional breakfast was not as good as the ones offered at other casas we stayed at. Regardless, if i return to Cuba I will make sure to reserve at room here.

Nicolas was a very friendly host, who also helped us out with many important information and tips on Havana. His speaking English was also very helpful to us, since we only speak 'vacation Spanish' lol. The neighbourhood is very safe and the Malecon is right around the corner which we walked along at sunset. Breakfast was the best we had in Cuba - try the homemade jam! Nicolas even organized a reliable taxi driver for us to pick us up at the airport. We 100% recommend casa Novo Guest House!

Very nice Casa, Nicolas is a friendly person. Breakfast is oke. Location also, close to havana viejo, about 10min walk.

Nicely furnished and friendly casa in central location with room for improvement regards plumbing.

This hostel was just fine for our stay in Havana, with a great roof terrace. Nothing special though compared with the other houses we stayed at in Cuba. The location is not the best, although the center is a good place to see some of the real local life in Havana. Most of the interesting sites are in Havana Vieja and Vedado.

Casa Novo is the perfect location if you want to enjoy the real Habana: positioned in the middle of downtown, it's minutes walking to the Malecon, to the Barrio Chino, to the Capitolio and old Habana. It's very close to nice paladares/restaurants and from the roof you can experience the fascinating view of the city. Alberto was always available for questions and suggestions, and we had laugh, too. Recommended!

I enjoyed staying at casa novo very much. Spend close to 14 days there. Close to everything you want to see in the city. The owner's Nicolas and his wife are both wary nice people and speak fine English. Some city noise but It's Havana! Same same everywhere! :-)

The house location is good. It's pretty and neat. M-r Nicolas and his wife are really very nice and helpful people. I strongly recommend them

Nicolas is very helpful to give advices and find other casas for your trip in Cuba! :-)

Iy's so nice hotel in Old Havana. We lived in 3d floor, in 2 rooms - it was so comfortable for us. Clean, cosily rooms, tasty breakfasts! The Great Thanks for Nicolas, his charming wife and grandmotherly seniora! Anastasiia, Sankt-Peterburg. Rissia

Thanks again for the hospitality! You made our stay in Havanna perfect and all your further recommendations were just great. Sophie & Timo

This Casa Particular is very well renovated and furnished - just beautiful! The owners are very nice and helpful. Regarding the position it is about a 15 minutes walk to Habana Vieja.

We had a great time staying at Casa Nova Guest House, Nicolas and his wife were so accomodating and make you feel at home. we would definately recommend this casa, and look forward to visiting again. All the best, Emily & Chris

When we arrive to casa we felt immediately like a home.Very close to everywhere,few steps from Parque Central and Vieja.It's very safe place to be.From our almost month stay on Cuba we were back in casa 3 times,no problem with leaving ours luggage there.Nicolas and Rosaura are very helpful in case you need it.Lovely housekeeper Myrtha.

Nicolas and his wife were really helpful. They gave us the best advise for our trip, which really helped. Casa at walking distance from old center. Lovely and quiet place, nice terrace. Great food! Els and Aileen from Holland

Staying with Nicolas and his family was a pleasure. His English is perfect and he helped with any idea e.g. a take-away breakfast. If "fun" means clubs and touristic bars, the area is the wrong choice, but it's in walking distance to the main tourist points in H. Centro and H. Vieja. I enjoyed the stay! Thanks Nicolas and family! :-) Nathalie

The best place to start out your trip on Cuba - meaning that you will get some very useful information + if you ask for it you will get a list with contacts from all over Cuba so that you don't have to waste time at any bad place! And I just have to mention the hosts - They do a brilliant job with there chill'd out way of being!

Perfect place to stay with very helpfull and friendly hosts

Nicholas and Rose are amazing. As soon as we got there, they gave us all information we needed to know to feel safe and to understand the Cuban culture. Furthermore, when my friend's baggage was extraviated they gave her all the support calling the company many times until the baggage got found.
