Boutique Vedado 5tay8

The place is located in a residential area, but it is full of little surprises like boutique restaurants and other places to explore. We really enjoyed that. I would say that outside of old Havana this neighborhood is a great one to be in if you really want a taste of Cuban life. We didn’t feel unsafe at all at any times walking even in the damn lighting around the area. The staff at the hotel were extremely wonderful. From the manager, to the driver, and all of the receptionist and support people (the cook, the security, the cleaners) - to we met them all. It’s a foreign owned entity at the owner lives local and has for years and you can tell he takes pride in his place. Even the sheets smelled great. Every time we got into them. The art on the walls with Marc Anthony delighted us. So many great little touches that made all the difference. And I can’t shout out the staff enough. It feels like a small little family and we love that about it. The wifi was a little shotty but it’s because of the country and the infrastructure. We didn’t get to enjoy the roof and the bar because of the weather, but would recommend this place to others, even though the price is quite high comfortably. We were very pleased with our stay.
