Casa Mercedes Old Havana

My review: Casa Mercedes was the first casa we stayed in in Cuba and it set our standards very high! Mercedes is very friendly and welcoming and it helped that she spoke English to settle us in and help us find our feet.

The room is very spacious and extremely clean- as is the bathroom. It is absolutely spotless. The breakfasts we had were delicious and very generous; we did not have dinner in the house but I regret this now as I imagine the food would have been better than the restaurants we ate in.

Mercedes went out of her way to help us organise the rest of our trip around Cuba- she went as far as drawing up an itinerary for us and ringing her friends all around the country to book casas for us. This really made our whole holiday so smooth running and painless. It was very kind of her and we really appreciated it.

I would really recommend this casa to anyone. It is in a superb location in Habana Vieja, on O'Reilly street which is one of the most famous streets in Havana. It was the best start we could have had to our trip and I cannot fault it.

Casa specifics: English speaking, Quiet, Fantastic hosts, Comfortable, Colonial, Roomy, Safe
Amenities: Safety box, Airconditioning, Private bathroom, Minibar, Breakfast service, Dinner service, Queensize bed, Bathroom with shower

Casa Mercedes, Havana Vieja

My review: This was my first casa in Cuba were I stayed during my holiday. I also booked the salsa lessons of Cuba Junky in Havana, so I stayed here at first 4 nights. The casa looks exactly like the pictures. It is clean, big and in the middle of Havana Vieja. I would recommend this casa to everyone I know! The people, Mercedes and Jorge, are super nice and want to help you with everything. I am a girl of 21 years old and I travelled alone. Mercedes arranged all the other casas in Cuba for me in Viñales and Trinidad. Because of that I also returned to this casa at the end of my trip in Cuba. Advise: have dinner in their casa! They have a friend and she can cook amazing! Chicken, pork, beef or lobster. Go there!

Casa specifics: English speaking, Quiet, Fantastic hosts, Elegant, Comfortable, Colonial, Cozy, Charming, Safe
Amenities: Internet for guests, Safety box, Airconditioning, Private bathroom, Minibar, Laundry service, Balcony, Breakfast service, Dinner service, Bathroom with shower
How was your room?: I had a room where normally three persons could sleep. I stayed there alone, so I had a two persons bed for myself en next to that bed was a single bed. They had a closet for my clothes, a mini bar, a desk and a bathroom with a hot shower. You receive a key of the house, the safe in your room and your own room of course.
How was the food they offer?: The food was lovely. The breakfast was huge! With eggs the way you want it, bread, orange juice and lovely fresh fruits. If you want something else, they will make it for you! You can also have dinner at their place if you want to. They have a friend who is an amazing cook and she makes the best food you will possible eat in Havana. Forget restaurants!
Other services they offer: Internet, laundry and a free cuba libre every day ;)!

Casa Mercedes

My review: This was our first Casa when we arrived in Cuba and Mercedes and Jorge were very warm, friendly and helpful. They'd arranged a taxi to meet us at the airport and take us directly to the Casa, and gave a warm greeting and a glass of rum on arrival. They speak English pretty well and were very helpful in making arrangements and bookings for us over the phone. They are also very well connected with other casas all over cuba, and when we told them of the route we planned to take they arranged places for us for the rest of our trip - all of which turned out to be fantastic casas with friendly and helpful owners.
They could not have been more helpful!
Located on O'Reilly, the location is bang in the centre of the old town, so there is plenty to see and do around here. It's worth wandering further afield to get away from the tourists, but as a place to stay it's a great location.
I highly recommend a stay with Mercedes and Jorge.

Casa specifics: English speaking, Quiet, Fantastic hosts, Elegant, Comfortable, Roomy, Charming, Safe
Amenities: Internet for guests, Safety box, Airconditioning, Private bathroom, Minibar, Laundry service, Balcony, Ceiling fan, Breakfast service, Dinner service, Kingsize bed, Queensize bed, Extra bed available, Bathroom with shower
How was your room?: Fairly basic, but comfortable. Very high ceilings, private, with a private bathroom
How was the food they offer?: We only had breakfast here as we wanted to try some of the Paladars in Havana for evening meals, but the breakfast is not bad - bread, eggs, fruit, coffee and juice.
Other services they offer: They are very helpful with making bookings, organising taxis and other arrangements. They can do laundry and they have internet.
They are very well connected with other very good casas all over cuba, so you can feel safe letting them make arrangements for the next place you go.

Casa Mercedes

My wife and I spent a week at Casa Mercedes, while we visited Habana Vieja. Our room was very clean, as was the rest of the house. The breakfast was very hearty, with plenty of fruit, eggs, and bread. The best part for us was the hospitality. We had no idea what to visit, and Mercedes gave us some very helpful suggestions, and made phone calls to find information for us. Mercedes speaks English very well, and has a network of friends on whom she relies to help her guests. We would strongly recommend Jorge and Mercedes at Casa Mercedes.
