During our stay at the hotel, we were in the old wing, where we had a spacious room with a balcony overlooking a nearby boulevard. The room was comfortable, though the noise from the tiled corridors could be disruptive at night. The bathroom was well-equipped but lacked electrical outlets, and the room's European-style outlets made our converters unnecessary. The room had a refrigerator but no minibar, and while it included an iron, ironing board, and extra blankets, the air conditioning was set at a chilly 17°C with no apparent way to adjust it. The hotel pool generally had a lifeguard, and snacks and drinks were available after 11 AM. However, the music played at the pool was of poor quality. The on-site restaurants offered a limited menu due to supply shortages, though the breakfast buffet was diverse. The cozy lobby bar had a small selection of drinks, and there was also a cigar bar, though we didn’t try it. Shopping options were limited, with no snacks or drinks available outside the hotel bar, and bottled water was costly. Sightseeing in Havana involved frequent offers for rides, and while the locals were friendly, the promenade walk was disappointing due to litter and poor conditions.
