Old Havana Guide
Where to Stay in Old Havana
A practical guide to choosing a room in Old Havana, close to plazas, restaurants, museums and everyday Cuban life.
Old Havana is best enjoyed on foot. Staying inside the historic center lets you step out early, walk to the main plazas, return for a rest, and go back out when the city changes rhythm in the evening.
Choose location before decoration
For most travelers, the best stay is not the most polished room far away from everything. It is a comfortable room in a walkable area, with clear access, good communication and hosts who can help you understand the neighborhood.
Rooms work better than a whole house for many trips
Casa Yaque Homes is organized around rooms in three family-run stays: Casa Yaque, Casa Violeta and Casablanca Yaque. Couples, friends and solo travelers can book the room that fits them. Groups can contact us for several rooms together.
What to check before booking
Ask about the floor, stairs, bathroom type, bed setup, breakfast, airport pickup and how payment is confirmed. In Old Havana, these details matter more than generic hotel-style promises.
