The building is fantastic and we were lucky enough to get a good room on the second floor. We had pre-booked, the day we arrived rooms on the first floor were out of order due to power failure - I think this worked to our advantage as we got a better room than most on the top floor, after spending...

We were in Havana to attend a wedding. Little did any of us know what a rip off this place would be. I won’t get into the difficulties experienced with the wedding but I am writing to warn potential visitors to stay away unless they enjoy paying through the nose for extremely bad service. When we arrived, we were told... More

Because the Pope was in town, we were summarily kicked out of the hotel where we had reservations (Telegrapho) and sent to the Hotel Florida. The good: the hotel is in a perfect location, right in the midst of Old Havana, steps away from Place des Armas. The lobby is gorgeous and some of the rooms are fine. The bathrooms... More

This place was fine -- some of the architecture is quite nice (the hotel is built around a big covered courtyard). Cleanliness isn't great, nor is the breakfast, but this is Cuba, so you've got to recalibrate your expectations. We got kicked out of the Hotel Telegrapho and wound up staying part of the time here and part at Hotel... More

We were very excited about the Hotel Florida - but I trusted Lonely Planet on that and perhaps I am just a trusting fool, or Lonely Planet were fobbed off with the only good room in this disaster of a hotel. We splashed out something like 270CUC on two rooms here (£190) which would get you a great casa, meals... More

This hotel was recommended to us by a local travel agent (we were travelling around Cuba by car and wanted to splurge on a nice hotel in Havana). It is a beautiful building with old world charm. However for me, the charm ended there. We were shown to our room (and we paid approx. $250 Cdn for the 1 night)... More

We have just returned from wonderful Havana and I have just read the comments of guests who have stayed at the Hotel Florida like us and I must say that all I can do is just smile as everything that has been said is correct. The hotel is in a wonderful location and is wonderfully renovated BUT the staff (with... More

Stayed at Hotel Florida for 4 nights in February this year, firstly the hotel is in a great location right in the centre of Old Havana which is perfect for walking to all the tourist attractions and getting around. If you want to venture further afield you would need a taxi anyway. The hotel itself is beautiful, kept clean and... More

We stayed for three nights in February 2012. The building is lovely, room okay and restaurant passable. Location is great. During our first few days in Cuba we had money stolen but are unable to be firm about when and where. We advise guests not to trust the key-card operated safety box in the hotel room. It doesn't have an... More
