Can anyone recommend a hotel in Havana pls?
Missus has done another internet bargain blinder and got us to Cuba for new year for a song 
. Can anyone who's been recommend a hotel in Old Havana? Anything over $100 a night will be painful for me, but if its worth it... 
Thx

We stayed in this one for 11 days: cuba hotel bookings .com - Hotel San Miguel ****, Old Havana, Havana, Cuba
Also booked through that website. Its a very small hotel - rooms are a good size, staff are very friendly and your only 5mins walk from the commercial tourist area.

ernest hemingway was the author i was trying to think of. can't remember the name of the bar, but walk out the front door of the parque central, cross the road and walk round the square (park) to the left hand side, then cross the road into a formal paved square. walk across the square diagonally at "2 o'clock", cross the road at the crossing at you're at the front door of the bar.

Did you manage to go to the restaurant over the other side of the port area? It was directly in front of the hotel, you had to travel under the bridge, another illegal one of these restaurants in someone elses house! This was a relly nice one though outside in there garden.

Its nice isn't it. Trying to think of some of the staff names, think Ricardo was the porter, Lowra was the receptionist. There were a few others, all very friendly. We took a bloke who was partially sited over there and they were great with him.
