Hotels
Typical for Havana is the many offerings of apartments at extremely low prices in the center of the city. The apartments are clean, neat, well-stocked with kitchen appliances, and efficient, friendly staff.
In Havana, we will stay at the historic Hotel Colina.
​
The Colina is generally regarded as the coziest and friendliest of Vedado’s budget hotels. It is located between the University and the Hotel Habana Libre.
The 80 rooms are basic, with air-con, satellite TV, and intermittent hot water, plus there’s a good people-watching sidewalk café just off the reception. Though not exactly luxurious, it’s a good option if you like the location and want a good price.
​
Location:
​
Located in the Vedado area, in front of the bicentennial University of Havana, Colina Hotel is just a few minutes’ walk from the well-known corner of 23rd and L streets, one of the social and cultural centers of the city.
