09 August 2009 Andrew would recommend this property

Liked: I found Martha's house the perfect place to stay on our arrival in Cuba. While its location in Vedado is admittedly a taxi-ride away from the old city, Vedado is an extremely nice part of the city and there's plenty going on there. In any case, riding in a taxi is an essential part of the Havana experience. The hostel itself is very pleasant with fantastic views. I can't praise Martha enough - not only was she excellent when I fell ill for a couple of days, she also set us up with accomodation when we came back to Havana before going home.Definitely recommend staying here.

04 August 2009 Richard would recommend this property

Liked: Martha is kind and hospitable and provides very comfortable and secure accommodation. Her apartment amounts to a great initial base on arrival in the country, especially if you are new to Cuba. The rooms are comfortable and secure; the view from her balcony as good as any in Havana and the advice and information she provides honest and reliable. The breakfast is good if not great. As others have said, whilst the apartment is close to the Plaza de la Revolucion and the Malecon it is nonetheless some considerable distance from the main sights and sounds of old Havana which makes for a long walk or the mounting costs of regular transport. Martha is a highly experienced host who provides an excellent service which I warmly recommend.

18 June 2009 Fabrizio would recommend this property

Liked: Since Marthas Guesthouse is located in Vedado which is a more quiet, greener area of Havanna it is more recommendable for a stay then the centre with it's everlasting noisiness and often dirty and crowded streets. There are many paladares and restaurants nearby (for example Decameron in Linea, between paseo and calle 2 (reachable in 15 minutes walk). To Havanna Vieja and the centre you have to take a taxi (6 cuc to havanna vieja, 4 to the centre). Marthas Guesthouse is very clean, she changes the towels every day, rooms are cleaned every day. There is a minibar which you can use and a safe (both included in the price, beside the drinks in the minibar). The breakfast is quite expensive (5CUC) but it's great!! It includes juice, fresh fruits, tea, coffee, crumbled eggs, beans and bread with marmelade. And you can take it in the balcony where you have a wonderfull view over the city. We had a great time there and recommend it absolutly!

06 June 2009 John & Penny would recommend this property

Liked: Marta speaks excellent English, is very helpful & runs a smooth establishment. Of all the casa particulares we used in Cuba, Marta's was the highest standard. For this we paid a little more but felt it was worth it.There seemed no need for Marta to promote HostelBookers so I do not understand the ned for this question.

27 January 2009 Bjorn would recommend this property

Liked: Nice appartment on 14th floor, great view over the city and ocean! And very clean! Martha is a very friendly, caring woman. Every day a nice home made breakfast (not included) and every day new, fresh towels and linen (included). If I have to mention a minor thing, it might be the distance to old city centre; 30 min walking or 5-10 ,in by taxi (5 cuc)

17 January 2009 Helen would recommend this property

Liked: The accommodation was lovely – it felt like a luxury compared to other homestays. The room was spacious and spotless and guests are able to use the whole apartment which makes you feel at home. The apartment has balconies all around with lovely views of the area. It is cheap and very easy to get a taxi into Cubana Vieja. The breakfast was delicious and filling with a real homemade feel. Martha is a wonderful, unassuming hostess who speaks good English. All in all it was the best place we stayed in Cuba by far – I would definitely go back!

08 July 2008 Graciela would recommend this property

Liked: If you consider you are staying in a house in Cuba, Martha's house looks like a hotel, it's the "fanciest" house in Cuba for sure. Also one of the most expensive ones, I'm not complaining about the price, but she could at least include the breakfast as it's usually given in cheaper places, and her breakfast is exactlly the same, good, but the same.If you are looking for confort, in a house in Cuba, it's the best you can get.
