Liked: This hostel had the best reviews when I was looking for acommodation in Havana and I have to say its really good, very friendly staff and good location, and the best part is perhaps that this is what I think, and have heard, the only place that reminds me of a "normal" hostel in the sence you get to know other travellers because there are a few rooms instead of just one./Lars from Sweden

Liked: Casa de Ania is by far the best place Íve stayed in Cuba. Ania and Alex go out of their way to make you feel welcome at the casa and its a great place to meet other travellers if youre travelling one your own. The casa is very central in Havanna and close to lots of sights, clubs and restaurants. I would recommend Casa de Ania to anyone! Oh and amazing breakfast!

01 March 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Ania's place gets full pretty easily, as we found, but if she doesn't have room (even if you booked) she'll send you to one of her family/friend's places to sleep in the spare bedroom. however, this is not a bad thing - we stayed with one of her friends, who worked out to be cheaper, and still had access to everything in the hostel itself (only a block away). the only other thing is don't expect to be in central/old havana, its a fair walk (40 mins or so, but definitely worth it)

28 February 2010 Laarni would recommend this property

Liked: It can be difficult to meet other travelers while staying at casas particulares, but Casa de Ania is basically a shared apartment with a tv lounge, dining table, bathroom, (bare) kitchen access and best of all, free internet (usually $10/hr in official places). It's clean and secure, and the owners are super nice and helpful. It's a bit of a walk to the Old Town, but doable!

Liked: I can really recomment Casa de Ania for everyone. People in Casa and the atmosphere are really friendly and it is deffinitely safe and good place to stay in Havana (also with good location). One big bonus of this casa is that it is excellent place to meet other travellers. It is the only Casa that I have heard which works like (dorm) hostel. I will definitely return back there during my travels, and actually I did it already.

07 February 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very friendly staff/owners. It's a good place to meet other travellers. It's maybe 20 minuttes walk to old Havana, but it`s close to Vedado and it`s a nice walk to Old town. Very clean.

06 February 2010 Sara would recommend this property

Liked: I absolutely loved staying at this hostel and will definitely return. The staff are extremely helpful, welcoming and trustworthy. They treated me like family, helping me orient myself in Havana and answering all my questions. I felt totally safe, the food was delicious and well-priced, and I met a lot of interesting travellers from different parts of the world, who I went sightseeing and bar-hopping with. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, and there's a nice living room & kitchen to chill out in. I loved being right in the middle of two great neighborhoods, walking distance to a lot of interesting stores, bars, clubs, cinemas, market places & the malecon. This place is a great deal, and so much fun. I only wish my vacation was longer!

23 January 2010 Lisa would recommend this property

Liked: This is the best casa we stayed in in Cuba. Ania and Alex were really friendly and incredibly generous eg. got up at 6am to make sure we got a taxi to the bus station. Unfortunately we didn't eat dinner at their place but their breakfast was the best value we had all trip, with loads of fruit. We stayed in one of the two rooms in the house with Alex and Ania - bathroom not ensuite. Across the corridor is a separate unit for guests.100% and would definitely recommend anyone going to Havana to stay here

Liked: Ania made me feel right at home in Havana! She was almost my mother during my stay. She made excellent, home cooked meals and was extremely accomodating to the fact that I am vegetarian. The other staff were most helpful and kind. Great place!!!

17 January 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location and people are this casa's biggest asset. Ania and Halet are friendly and always willing to help and advise. Just a five minutes walk to the sea and the Malecon, it is situated perfectly. The bars and clubs of Vedado are closeby, and the tourist sights of Havana Vieja are just a twenty minute stroll along the Malecon. Decent supper is available for just 5 CUC extra (very reasonable considering other places), and Ania's book shelves are well stocked with guidebooks. For an honest insight into everyday Havana living, this is an ideal casa.

13 January 2010 Lillian Ysen would recommend this property

Liked: Casa de Aña has been absolutely amazing, and I can definetely recommend the place to other travellers. I came back here several times travelling around Cuba, and I keep liking it even more. The food is excellent with a huge fruity breakfast, the place is clean and the staff incredible friendly and helpful. You truly feel welcome! They offer both laundry service and internet (which is really expensive in Cuba, 7 dollars hour), and opposed to other casas particulaires this is a more hostel-style place, meaning you meet a lot of other travellers. This is where I´m staying where I get back!

12 January 2010 Li would recommend this property

Liked: Highly recomend Casa de Ania for its central location - walking distance to lots of tourist attractions, 24h convinience store and peso pizaria around the corner, 5 min walk to hotel Havana Libre where u can change money, buy cigar and use their gorgeous pool for a few CUCs; good atmosphere - there is a common room for you to chill out and meet other travellers; great host and hostess - Ania and Halet (everyone calls him Alex tho) are very welcoming and helpful; good food; clean bathroom and free Internet, which is a huge bonus given the very limited Internet access in Cuba.Absolutely enjoyed my stay in casa de ania, thanks and well done, ania and halet!
