El Encanto de Perseverancia Reviews

Comfortable room in a colonial-style hotel in an old mansion. Superb location next to the Malecon in Old Havana. The room is two-tier, the bathroom is on the second floor. Excellent Wi-Fi, worked flawlessly. Air conditioning, fan, refrigerator, safe, TV, etc. The price included a good breakfast. Helpful and attentive staff. I recommend!

We lived in a deluxe room. The room is excellent, spacious, with high ceilings, furnished in a neo-colonial style, with floor-to-ceiling windows leading to a balcony. We are very pleased with the room, shower room, and cleanliness. Breakfast is perhaps more modest than we expected, judging by the reviews, but it was enough for us: omelette with vegetables, fresh tomatoes, ham, cheese, toast, butter, jam, coffee, fruit. The hotel as a whole leaves a pleasant impression: freshly renovated, green courtyard. Located about a kilometer from Prado Boulevard. That is, from the historical part of Havana to get to the hotel you need to go through the areas in which Havanese live with all the flavor inherent in these places. We preferred to walk through the embankment, especially since the street on which the hotel is located goes straight to the Malecon. We warmly remember the friendly hostess of the hotel and her assistant, daughter Brenda. Thank you for the warm welcome!

The hotel is in an old house, presumably of Spanish construction, with a normal renovation, unlike those nearby. We had a room with two beds and a large sofa, overlooking the street, a balcony and huge ceilings 5 ​​meters high. There was a specific smell in the room, it’s not clear what (like dampness mixed with sewage), but not sharp, it disappeared after a day. Breakfast is no frills, but quite good. Cheese, ham, toast, fruit, juices, pastries, coffee, tea, milk, scrambled eggs. The area is calm, close to the capitol, but, like everywhere else, the locals are very noisy, screaming in the street in the morning. The room has air conditioning, fan, TV, safe, hairdryer.

The guest house is located on a dirty street, approximately the same distance to Old and New Havana, about 2 km. The Malecon promenade is nearby. Breakfast is normal, no frills. The staff speaks English poorly. There were no windows in the room. The main inconvenience is that they don’t give you a key to the front door; you have to ring the bell and wait for it to open. When we arrived, no one answered the bell; we had to wait about 10 minutes. In general, the price-quality does not correspond to the stated price, I would not stay here a second time.

Maximum one night before flying to another location. Cockroaches!!! Both in the room (shower) and in the kitchen

Wonderful guest house. The rooms are luxurious, it is clear that a lot of effort has been put into the renovation. And it is clear that they diligently monitor cleanliness. There is wi fi, air conditioning, TV. Breakfast and service are excellent. You feel safe and comfortable inside. You can buy soft drinks without leaving the hotel. Very cozy place, thank you very much. We will try to come again and will recommend to friends

哈瓦那就沒有特別乾淨的酒店吧，所有好感來自於酒店裡的那個老爺爺和那台鋼琴，酒店位置離最中心的地區大概1公里左右

A charming inn in a good location. The service was above and beyond. Good breakfast with eggs to order and a variety of food. It is in a restored home that is full of lovely details. The staff was amazing. Close to a number of restaurants. 3 short blocks to the Malacon. Would stay again in a minute.

Friendly people that give you a truer Cuban experience than in a big business hotel. Some of the nicest people I've met in my travels. All in a beautiful building with a wonderful and diverse free breakfast. The rooms were nicely appointed and comfortable.

This is the second time that I have had the pleasure to stay at El Canto. This enamoring home from a former period of time captured my heart. I am certain it is not just the exquisite building, but the beautiful staff that makes this house a home. I felt as if I was in my own dwelling. The amazing women of the kitchen put out a beautiful fresh breakfast spread daily. Raysel and José welcome guests with their infectious smiles and outpouring of self. To see the absolutely gorgeous owner, Tamara present, over seeing the day today operations is a wonderful thing, knowing she has everyone’s best interest… by being present, you know you are going to have a good experience. I have not stayed anywhere else in Havana. And when I come back, I see no other reason to go anywhere else but home at El Encanto.

Our tour group of 10 stayed here while we were in Havana. It is located in Centro Havana in an authentic Cuban neighborhood. The Malecon is a short walk away and you can see the water from the front of the building. It is rather large and resembles a hotel of a bygone era. The common areas are very nice as is the rooftop patio. Both are good places to enjoy a glass of wine or a beer. Our room was small and very clean. There was plenty of closet space, a fan and air conditioning, a safe and a hair dryer. The staff were great, accommodating, friendly and most helpful. Breakfast was also very good with fruit, tomatoes, juice, toast, ham, cheese, eggs cooked to order and coffee and tea. There are several nice restaurants within walking distance. We enjoyed watching the children at the primary school next door and across the street. The Cuban neighbors were pleasant and friendly.

I stayed here as part of the friendly planet tour. Ray and Jose were amazing hosts. They went out of their way to make sure all was AOK and were a pleasure to talk with. The cooking and maid staff were friendly as well. The rooms were spacious and came with AC, and best Wi-Fi I had during my stay. They provided recos in the neighborhood and even walked us to a dinner one night. Highly recommend.

Beautiful hostel/family home. Super helpful staff. Clean rooms. No lift so if you want the roof top views, be prepared for some stairs. Great breakfast too. Located in the middle of the real Habana. Easy walking to the old city. If you want to experience Cuba, stay here.

Another great stay at El Encanto. Everything is just so easy and they really give you that personal service like you are home. It is great to be back in Cuba after COVID. Everything is back and better. El Encanto is perfectly located in Central Habana. Super close walking distance to everything... the Malecon, Vedado, Hotel Nacional, Habana Vieja and Downtown. The rooms are well appointed with flat screen TVs, full bathrooms with plenty of hot water and good pressure, they even have little refrigerators for drinks and snacks. Definitely recommend staying here. Very safe area to walk at any time. Close to many restaurants. The hotel can exchange money for your which makes it super convenient and trustworthy. They know the area well and have plenty of recommendations. Taxis are easily available. The hotel can call and make reservations and taxis. They speak English. There are many room types for families, single travelers, etc. Great views from the roof terrace as well. They also have beer and water to purchase. The Wifi is included and reliable. Oh, and the included breakfast is perfect to start the day.
