They also helped us with a great guide for a private walking tour of Havana. The hostel is located conveniently just off Paseo del Prado, close enough that Havana Vieja is within walking distance, but it is not so busy outside the hostel itself. The room was very large and well cleaned and maintained and the staff were all amazingly friendly. I'm very glad I picked this hostel to stay in during my stay in Havana! I was very happy with the service they provided (airport pickup, bus dropoff, breakfast, everything). This is a beautiful hostal with great infrastructurre that was experiencing challenges (or not trying hard enough) to provide an acceptable breakfast. Upon checking out, I was offered the house taxi at 12 USD to take me to bus station, but opted to walk the block to Prado where I easily flagged a yellow "official" taxi for the standard fare of $10 USD. Highly recommend El Pirate cafe on Calle San Ignacio in Havana Vieja, a short walk away, where I enjoyed excellent full breakfast of toast, butter,jam, 2 hardboiled eggs (my request), beet and greens salad garnished with carrot, fresh 3-fruit plate, slice each of cheese and very good ham, fruit juice for $3.90 USD. I decided for 3rd morning to forgo the breakfast (included in price and already paid) for and ate out. By far the worst breakfast I've ever been served in 8 visits to Cuba! Quality of breakfast did not match quality of accommodations. Discussed twice with proprietor, no resolution. * Due to shortages, despite common use of black market and ability of other casa operators to provide all breakfast components, breakfast lacked milk for coffee, whole eggs (unpalatable powdered egg omelet was served) and, (it seemed) the coffee was government issue ie cut with chicory. Staff Saili and Alex especially obliging. Room beautifully appointed, was given a triple as the double I'd reserved was occupied. Very happy with location, as a mature female travelling alone, 1 block from Prado.
