いわゆるキューバ、オールドハバナにある民泊。キューバの家庭を味わいたいなら、ぜひお薦め宿。ホストのアルベルトとメルバ夫妻が家庭的な温かいおもてなしをしてくれる。 分からないことがあれば何でも相談してみて。この家族はどんなことでも一所懸命に教えてくれる。両替、タクシー、買い物、レストランに観光と、キューバ旅行が初めての人にはとても心強い味方。もちろん安全な街の歩き方も。 アルベルトは武士道に精通していて、まるでキューバの侍。日本の話をしてみればきっと盛り上がるはず。メルバは料理が上手く、オプションで本格キューバ家庭料理を作ってくれる。海の見えるテラスでとる、宿泊代に含まれている朝食は、たっぷりのフルーツとメルバ手作りのフレッシュジュースで素敵な朝を迎えられるよ。 オールドハバナで、キューバの家庭を味わいたい旅人には最高の「EL81ゲストハウス」。 入口が分かりにくいので、WhatsAppで連絡するのを忘れずに。

This is a well maintained apartment building very clean and has elevator., it is a block to the Malecon easy walking to restaurants, shopping and has weekend market where the locals sell goods and perfrom entertainment, here you get the real Havana experience. My favorite was that it was walking distance to Casa Música where you can enjoy big Cuban Bands dance to salsa and other styles of music. The apartment itself was super clean, the host lovely and the breakfast awesome!

El81 is a pleasure to visit. From the terrace for breakfast to its location 10 minutes to the Prado and the incredibly helpful family who host you, the apartment is a great find. The rooms each have a private bathroom and are very spacious for either a couple, a family travelling together or friends. You also have the ability to request home-cooked excellent and filling meals. Very much enjoyed this stay - with two teens! - and relaxing at night with a drink and looking at the Havana sky.

Well worth it……
My stay here was excellent. The wifi was strong when you needed it. The breakfast was very good, with fruit juice, refills, a form of toast, coffee, refills, fruit and eggs to order. I had a room ( in a family’s apartment ) with views of the city and of the sea. It was within easy walk of the Malecon and the “ city centre”. I highly recommend.

Lovely place with lovely hosts. Wonderful view from the room and apartment with a large balcony, it has everything you need in a very central area of Havana, close to the sea. Loved the breakfast as well. Great WiFi which is quite rare in Cuba.

Мне очень понравилось жить в El81 Guesthouse пока я была в отпуске в Гаване. Melba, Alberto и их дочь Sandra - очень дружелюбные, гостеприимные и внимательные хозяева, я могла поговорить с ними как с друзьями, хотя было немного тяжело, так как я плохо говорю на испанском, но Sandra и Melba достаточно хорошо знают английский, поэтому мы понимали друга друга. Каждое утро Melba готовила вкусный завтрак, а днем Alberto мог предложить свежесваренный кофе. Гостиница находится в пешей доступности от всех известных достопримечательностей и набережной. Если мне нужно было поехать в какое-то место, которое находилось далеко от гостиницы, Melba организовывала мою поездку на такси. Моя комната была чистая и уютная и с кондиционером, балкон был с видом на город и море, в ванной комнате были все необходимые принадлежности и я могла бесплатно пользоваться интернетом. Я очень рекомендую El81 Guesthouse, уверена, что если я когда-нибудь соберусь приехать в Гавану еще раз, я остановлюсь опять у Melba и Alberto.
