Hotel Sevilla

Lovely buidling, pool and  the indoor foyer with live music. Shame about the lack of view from bedrooms.(I'm not suggesting they can do anything about it.) The room at the start of the stay was rather dark, the tall window being completely obscured. We liked the manager's cocktail at 6pm and also very welcome cold squash brought to us when we were signing in on very hot day at end of holiday. The front desk staff did what was necessary but didn't seem particularly interested.

Great location

“Of the Havana hotels, the Sevilla is excellently located on the edge of the Old Town and is a lovely building. Our room on the 8th floor was great.”

Beautiful ground floor, room a little tired but we only slept in it.  In general, most charming.

"Very nice, good breakfast, excellent location. It was overbooked when we were due to return so were moved to the Parque Central, real luxury - though could have been anywhere - but rather nice note to finish on."

"The hotel has a superb location and everyone was very helpful and friendly. The pool was an added bonus after a day sightseeing. It was a shame that the top floor restaurant was under renovation though. Also, there is a much nicer place to have breakfast by the pool but we weren't allowed to eat there. We would have paid a supplement to use it, so much nicer than the hectic dining room!"

"The rooftop restaurant at the Sevilla was as good as any other restaurant we visited and had great views. Not only was the food good - but the pianist who played there all night was excellent and didn't continually pester the diners with demands for more 'cucs' - which was not the case for the bands which played downstairs.”

Good

“I haven't put excellent thought I would say good to fair because they couldn't really cater at breakfast for the huge numbers (ie queues, waiting then for food and utensils to be replenished, washed and so on. Difficult to really judge objectively due to maybe national restraints and things not understood by me - shower not really working, lift out of service, stairs out of service - BUT what an atmospheric and beautiful place!”

"Rooms a bit outdated but perfectly fine."

This hotel has had its day. Tired and under invested, with a bureaucratic welcome  redolent of the former Soviet Union. Antique plumbing - the large outdoor pool is the only saving grace

Wonderful.

We also enjoyed the dinner and concert which we attended in the restaurant on the top floor of the Hotel Sevilla. The setting and views were wonderful.”

The decaying grandeur of the Hotel Sevilla in Havana was just right.  It is definitely the place to stay and I'm grateful to Konrad for insisting on it.  We were lucky to be on the 7th floor, floors 6-8 being the best, overlooking the pool.  Since the whole hotel has new double-glazing, this meant it was quiet.  The air-conditioning worked almost all the time.  The fixtures and fittings are dated but functioning, including the shower.  The room (a two-room suite actually) was very spacious.  The public areas have a suitable air of faded opulence.  The breakfast buffet is very good. Service is friendly and the pool is a welcome city-centre oasis of calm.
