We were put up in the Ambos Mundos as part of a Cuban Education Tours trip. When you book the tour, you're only told the hotel will be 4-star or better, and when the Ambos Mundos was revealed as our hotel, the reviews on Trip Advisor were somewhat concerning. And even they turned out to be overly generous. First of... More

Atmospheric and well placed, a must for Hemmingway fans. HOWEVER booking here (and prepaying) does not mean this is where you will stay. The chances are they will have rebooked you somewhere else less convenient without as much brochure appeal. (This happened to us twice, both at start and end of our holiday). Even if you get lucky many rooms... More

I stayed here for one night after arriving in Havana, before heading out to the countryside. Plausible hotel, though clearly not up to first world standards. No phone or alarm clock in my room; and no Internet access. More

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night, because the other hotel we had booked, was full for that night. After the 1 night at Ambos Mundos, we returned to our other hotel. We arrived late at night, but we were warmly welcomed by the reception. The hotel is centrally located and has a beautiful entrance. The rooms are not... More

The location is excellent, and the lobby is quaint and charming. There is generally a piano player there, adding ambience to the experience as they play tunes from the 40´s. Some of them wear period dress, which adds to the experience, but one pianist had on sweats, which did not add to it. The hotel is very noisy, as there... More

We stayed at Ambos Mundos for 3 nights while touring Havana. Our room was small, but clean. Beds were comfortable, bathroom was good size and we always had hot water. The hotel has a beautiful roof top bar/restaurant. Breakfast buffet there was OK, good bread, fruit, scrambled eggs, rice. The hotel has 6 floors. Take the old fashioned cage style... More

I stayed in the Ambos Mundos Hotel, Havana, in the heart of the tourist area. The free breakfast on the roof is quite good..esp. the fruit and pancakes. And the view..cool !! My room was small without a window, on the 4th floor. Music from the lobby drifted up to about 10 or 11 pm, but it was kinda nice... More

The Ambos Mundos is a quaint little hotel in the old havana. We did our own excursion from Varadero to Havana by bus ourselves. The hotel has such an amazing history and atmosphere. The room we had was small but had so much character . The bar downstairs made the best mojitos and daquiris. The 2 days spent here were... More

My husband and I were less than satisfied with our resort in Varadero and decided to hop the local bus into Havana to explore. We planned on spending a few days but had no reservations. We found it very easy to navigate around Havana with very limited Spanish and after a nice lunch in the old city we started looking... More

We (group of 6) visited Havana after Cancun, Mexico and were very disappointed. Maybe disappointed is a bit too strong word since I’m glad that I’ve been there, but definitely this is not the place where I will return and not the place I would recommend – maybe only for 2-3 days max. First we had to wait on the... More
