Casa Aleido

My review: I give 5 stars because the people were so beautiful, and helpful! it was the best food I had in Cuba, and we just had a wonderful time there with Aleido, and his family and friends! it was great to be in the heart of old Havana, and any questions I had, if someone in the house couldn't answer, they would find someone who could! the uniqueness of the building, the energy made such relaxation, and gladness in my heart! I will return again!thank you so much for sharing your home, and your world with us! As an Artist, I could stay for months...! years! and my eyes would always be wide open, and in love, with the colors, and with Aliedo, and his friends, and family. wonderful!
How was your room?: our Room was hand created, beautiful! The crafting, and the comfort, was lovely.!
How was the food they offer?: the BEST cook in Havana! wow! soooo good!
Other services they offer: being a painter, I wanted to go to plces, not generally, on the *tourist list.... they went to great lengths to assist me, and to assure I was safe. above, and beyond!
Other comments: Aleido, his brother, his home, and his friends, made me fall in love with Havanah! I cannot say powerfully enough, how much I enjoyed my stay! thank you!

Casa Aleido

My review: We stayed at the casa Aleido for two weeks. It was our fifth stay. Excellent as usual. Atmosphere and service as high as our expectations. We will go back soon. Aleido and his family knew how to make of our stay a pleasant experience

Casa Aleido

My review: A real disaster. The house (if you can call it like that) is horrible. You have to climb 2 steep staircases without any help. Do not touch the banister because it is not fixed into the wall so you will keep it in your hand. 3 locked doors in lattice work block the free passage in the house. How to get out in of fire or emergency ? Electrical cables and wires without protection in the so-called "guest room". To switch on the airco you have to touch the fuse. Airco makes more noise than the engine of an airplane. An metalic not fixed box should be a safe deposit. No wardrobe to put your clothes.
The rooms was like a sty. Just a double bed and that 's it. No Windows in the room and 2 connecting doors with the rooms of the neighbours. No en-suite bathroom. You have to share WC and shower with 2 others rooms. 1 tap with cold water, also cold water in the shower. In the bathroom there is a 100 liter bin where you to throw in the used toiletpaper. Very hygienic.
Breakfast was bad coffee, bread hard as stone, scrambled eggs and cooked bacon. They do not ask what you like.
Owner makes noise till 4.00 am (partytime) so no nightrest at all. We did not feel safe in that casa. We would not recommend this casa to our first enemy and we do not understand all these good reviews and happy people. We just are wondering if it is the same casa Aleido where we stayed they are speaking about ?

Casa Aleido

My review: Very central. Secure. Aleido's family makes you feel at home and are very friendly and entertaining.
How was your room?: Uniquely beautiful and comfy.
How was the food they offer?: My only complaint is that they give you too much food and it is so good you want to eat it all.

Casa Aleido

My review: Era mi segundo viaje a Cuba, pero necesitaba encontrar algo mas que un lugar para alojarme, era encontrar una muy buena atención, familiaridad, alguien con quien conversar, quien te oriente y te de consejos de como descubrir lo mejor de la havana,un amigo, y la verdad fue la mejor elección, por que todo eso lo encontré en casa de Aleydo, y con Aleydo mismo, además de su equipo de trabajo Maydelin y Pipo, sus dos personas cercanas y quienes lo apoyan en todo el servicio, espero regresar de nuevo y poder compartir mas.

How was your room?: Mi habitación fue muy comoda, limpia y ordenada, lo necesario para poder descansar y sentirse bien.

How was the food they offer?: Los desayunos son deliciosos y abundante, el café muy delicioso, así como la variedad de frutas, en general todo, Aleydo prepara una comida deliciosa, ese arroz moro no lo olvidaré nunca, en general la comida es muy variada, deliciosa y abundante.

Other comments: La casa esta muy bien ubicada, muy cerca del hotel Inglaterra,el parque central, y todo el movimiento turístico y de transportes,este es otro punto a favor, su ubicación.

Casa Aleido

My review: This house is superbly located, to step outside is to step into downtown Havana. I loved the oasis it represented among the busy-ness of the city, although it is located on a main pedestrian street, from the moment you step in throughout the iron gates the noise and hustle of outside disappears. The plants along the foyer are beautiful, calming, adding to the feeling of a garden inside the city.
From the start the staff was welcoming and helpful. I felt secure and well looked after. Aleido has an eye for security and comfort. The place is very clean and everyday I saw the staff making sure the house is spotless.

The kitchen area also offers a place to meet the other guests who are staying at the house, I had some great and interesting conversations. There are people from all over the world staying with Aleido that made the house feel like a global meeting point to share ideas and stories.

Aleido offers in-house dining which I absolutely recommend; the food is delicious and the ambiance at the kitchen reminds me of my mother's kitchen, full of goodness and love! I particularly enjoyed the freshly caught fish with garlic and ginger sauce.

Aleido himself is a treasure! He gives good and sound advice on the places to visit and the tours to take, from the arrival at his house he educates you about Cuban society with it's ins and outs. He is also a great storyteller and I very much enjoyed listening to his childhood tales and stories that transported me to other Cubas: the rural one of the "orient" of the island to the changing Cuba of the "periodo especial"

At Casa Aleido I felt as if I was visiting a relative I had not seen in a long time, the familiarity and the love with which He received me at his house made me feel welcomed and looked after.

How was your room?: My room was amazing! It was located in the upper floor, they charmingly call it the "penthouse" ! It has a breath taking view of the capitol building and its surroundings, It comes with it's own little patio. I loved sitting outside listening to the murmurs of the city and seeing the skyline of old Havana.

How was the food they offer?: Delicious! everything is freshly cooked and the portions are generous.

Other services they offer: Laundry service, in house telephone, They can also arrange for a massage therapist to come to the house.

Other comments: I strongly reccomend this house, I will keep on staying here because of all the houses I have seen in Havana this is by far the best situated, cleanest, friendliest and most welcoming.
