Casa Rolando
My review: If you're looking for your own private apartment in central Havana, then this is perfect. On the 5th floor of an old apartment building, the pleasant balcony overlooks central Havana, and it's only a couple of minutes walk from parque central or san Raphael st. There is a 24hr convenience store across the road, and whilst the building is old, the ancient elevator still works well.
Rolando is s very friendly guy and happy to give as much advice as he is able, and stays just down the hall in case you need anything. I had only planned to stay there 2 nights but ended up staying for 6.
It's not 5star accommodation, but for someone wanting their own space, you can't beat the location, size and cleanliness for the price. Felt like my own little home in Havana. I'd definitely stay there again.
Casa specifics: Quiet, Comfortable, Roomy, Safe, Patio
Amenities: Private entrance, Airconditioning, Private bathroom, Laundry service, Balcony, Ceiling fan, Queensize bed, Extra bed available, Bathroom with tub, Bathroom with shower
How was your room?: Room was basic but comfortable. Had an AC cupboard and chest if drawers and a shared ensuite bathroom with the other bedroom. If you stay at Casa rolando, they give you both bedrooms for the same price. So realistically you can comfortably fit 2 couplesin this Casa.
How was the food they offer?: No food offered, but walk up san Raphael st and grab a ham and cheese sandwich for 5 Cuban pesos (20c US) for breakfast.
Other services they offer: Their cleaning lady came in on Monday and did my bag of washing for $4. |
