A delightful hotel and exceptionally helpful staff
Balcones deserves six points out of five on every count: it was absolutely excellent! The place was charming and well located, and the staff were all brilliant. They were charming, helpful, friendly, and well informed, and not at all pushy. They offered as much contact as you wanted but were always ready with help or just for a chat.

Fabulous staff, lovely room
The staff here were incredible - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The breakfast was great, as was the bar in the evening. We had our first mojito out of a teapot - definitely to be recommended! Adrian, Thuran, Jorge and Luisandra (apologies for any typos!) were all amazing - thank you so much for making our stay so special. Karen and Steve

Great hotel, great experience!
We lives out trip to Havana and especially at Hostal Balcones Muralla. Jorge was great at welcoming us and making us comfortable. He also was great with this restaurants recommendations. He made us feel comfortable and gave us good tips about the city. The staff was always nice with us and wanting to help. Breakfast was a great experience. Nothing fancy but very tasty. The neighborhood was great too. We felt we were part of the real Havana life. It was a bit noisy at night but if you are light sleeper, bring some earplugs. We feel it’s the case in every parts of the city and only the 5 stars conventional hotels would be quieter. We loved our experience and we will recommend it to all our for friends.

An incredible place, in easy walking distance of the Capitol building and most of the areas of interest within Old Havana. Breakfast was wonderful and the rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff were the highlight with everyone being so helpful - we had our luggage lost by the airline and the staff went out of their way to help us with clothes, toiletries and even money! Couldn't thank them enough and would definitely stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

This charming hostal (really a boutique hotel) gave us an authentic taste of old Havana. It has a quirky, unique style with a lovely bar and balconies. We stayed here at the beginning and again at the end of our stay, so got to know the staff well. They were all incredibly friendly and endlessly helpful, making recommendations, booking taxis, transfers, changing money and answering all our questions. Jorge in particular was always around to help us in every way he could. We stayed in a small but comfortable room first then splurged on the suite on the upper floor, which was definitely worth the price. Both rooms had reliable WiFi, and a/c. We loved Cuba and when we go back to Havana we would definitely stay here again. Thank you to the whole team at Balcones Muralla.

Location location location, and the staff were amazing, so pleased to have found they had put the Aircon on for our arrival. I put 3 stars for facilities only because some extra space for bags in room and a shame the rooftop bar was not open

Amazing Staff made us feel like family
This place was absolutely amazing. It is a very cute hotel in the center of old havana but the hotel staff and their attention to detail is what did it for me. Firs off and most importantly the staff makes you feel like family. They tell you the do's and donts of navigating the city they also helped us to book tours with local trusted drivers so we wouldnt get scammed. The food was amazing!!! I litterally ate breakfast there every day. The hotel staff is very attentive and very kind. I got a cold one day and at some point every single staff member checked on me and asked if there was anything they could do for me. This by far exceeded my expectations and i will for sure stay here next time im in town. Thank you staff for your hospitality and making us feel like family.

This is the place to start your visit in Old Havana. Staff was helpful answering questions before we arrived, arranged transportation from the airport, met us with a drink, changed our money, and gave us on-point advice for exploring. Staff was very engaging. And, some of the best food we had on the trip, both breakfast and dinner. They even accommodated my food allergy. Wonderful.

The staff in particular Sandor, Rolando and Jorge, were fantastic, so knowledgable and helpful with advising us on places to visit, the best places to eat and organising tours. It was so well maintained, clean and the breakfast and bar were wonderful, as was the environment, also a great location within close walking distance to everything. As with all of Cuba the electricity was a bit patchy (no fault of the hotel) just the way it is. I highly recommend Hostal Balcones Muralla.
