Over Telegrafo Hotel
Dit uit 1860 daterende hotel kan vandaag de dag het beste worden omschreven als een ‘fusion’ tussen hip en historisch. Dankzij het moderne design in combinatie met rustieke architectuur is dit hotel een van de meest gewaardeerde van de stad en ver daarbuiten; de faam reikt tot over Cuba’s grenzen. De trendy bar alleen al is een bezoek waard, alsook het smaakvolle restaurant met buitenterras aan de vermaarde boulevard Paseo de Marti ofwel de Prado. In de kamers wordt de creativiteit doorgevoerd in een ruime en moderne inrichting. Hedendaagse kunst siert de muren.

Een absoluut hoogtepunt tijdens uw rondreis door Cuba is de stad Havana, de fascinerende hoofdstad van Cuba. Veelal zal Havana uw beginpunt zijn van uw vakantie in Cuba of tevens uw eindpunt van uw reis. Havana is hoe dan ook een stad waar u minstens 3 dagen moet verblijven; er is immers zo veel te zien en te doen dat het zonde is om Havana in een sneller tempo te bezoeken.
Bovenal is Havana een gezellige stad met vele Spaans-koloniale overblijfselen. Het is er altijd druk en gezellig en overdag zijn de Amerikaanse auto's uit de vijftiger jaren een opvallend straatbeeld.
"Honeymoon in Cuba"
21-05-2018
We stayed in the Telegrafo for 3 nights at the end of January before moving across to Varadero. After booking our honeymoon the reviews took quite a drastic turn and we were concerned it was going to be a dive but were VERY pleasantly surprised! Rooms were basic but clean, WiFi available in the lobby and friendly staff. The location cannot be beaten and it really is a stone's throw to fabulous sites and restaurants in old Havana.
On the negative side... The breakfast was absolutely dire, but we were expecting this and filled up on bread and fruit. Don't be expecting good coffee, go elsewhere! The hotel is fantastic for photos of the old cars but the drivers do harass you everytime you go in and out of the hotel doors which was a little off putting.
If I was visiting Havana again I would not hesitate to stay at the Telegrafo!
"Great location/ overpriced"
19-04-2018
This hotel indeed has a great location and if you are lucky provides you with amazing view. The room size is great.
Cons: mold. everywhere. in the room, corridors, next to windows.
the bar next to elevators has a lot of cockroaches!!
Breakfast was pretty poor as well.
"Traditional Havanna-style hotel"
05-04-2018
Centrally located in Havanna, not far from the „old town“ and the bar district, the hotel has a traditional appearance. Continental breakfast, the tooms a bit old, furniture a bit outdated. Service staff was not on the same level - some very friendly and helpful, some not really eager to work.
"Stopped for lunch in iconic hotel "
19-02-2018
The building is beautifully kept and the tile mural in the atrium is gorgeous. A little pricey for the food and drinks compared to neighboring cafes. Food was ok. The patio offers a great view of the Capitolo. Servers were very friendly and helpful.
"Good and bad points "
11-02-2018
First the good bits. The location couldn't be better - right on Central Park and near the Capital Building and the National Theatre. The Old Town is across the square so there is no need to book an old car tour. Get a walking tour instead as the cars can't get to a lot of places and you can hire any of the numerous old cars taxis parked outside the hotel to go for a ride. The Reception staff all spoke good English and were very helpful. A lot of reviews say that the hotel is dirty but the rooms and public areas are all kept very clean. Unfortunately the maids only seem to have brushes so the carpets outside the rooms do look dirty - they really need to invest in a vacuum cleaner!
The hotel claims to be the oldest in Havana but it is not on the original site and has been extensively remodelled to provide a central atrium. It retains an old fashioned atmosphere though. The bathroom was basic with a fixed head shower with a plastic shower curtain over a bath with no plug and chipped enamel but hey, this is Cuba and you have to make allowances. The water was hot enough even if the pressure dropped at times and it was clean.
Wi-Fi is only available in the bar and Reception but that is standard in Cuba. You have to buy a scratch card which gives you either an hour or 30 minutes access to the internet. It's 2 cuc for an hour at the Telegrafo. You can get them cheaper elsewhere but it isn't really worth the effort. You can use the cards anywhere they have wi-Fi though and you will see Cubans sitting on the pavement outside places to use it.
Now the bad bits. The staff in the bar and the restaurant really can't be bothered. On our first morning there were more staff than guests at breakfast but we still ended up getting our own coffee. Customer service is generally non-existent in Cuba though. The bar is supposed to be 24 hour was often closed at night because of lack of customers. Go to the Hotel Inglatera next door where they have live music on the terrace outside and a rooftop bar that stays open until late.
I can't comment on the food in the restaurant because the reviews are all so bad we didn't risk it. Judging by breakfast though I suspect the reviews are accurate.
The hotel claims to take MasterCard and Visa but when we tried to check out they claimed that the system wasn't working and demanded cash. This happened other places in Havana as well and my advice would be to take plenty of cash. The exchange rate in hotels is better than you will get at a bank and you won't have to queue. There are a few ATMs in Havana but the exchange rate is even worse!
