Hotel Raquel Hotel, Havana City Cuba. 4 stars.

Very good Patricia

Good
The Raquel Hotel, near to Plaza Vieja (Old Square) and Saint Francis of Assisi Square, in the Cuban capital, has a seductive and harmonious Art Noveau architectural style. The building is 20 kilometers away from José Martí International Airport. In addition to its terrace-lookout, the hotel has art galleries and well-decorated and tranquil places for leisure. According to experts, its Biblical name and some of its areas - the Lejaim Lobby-Bar, Jardín de Edén Restaurant and Bezalel Boutique - are an allegoric evocation of Hebrew culture in Cuba.

“Rock hard beds ”
As we had already booked a tour through Cuba, We stayed twice in this stunning hotel during our 2 nights in Havana. Room 202 has single beds, and we found them to be rock hard. I ended up with welts all over me by the morning. Hmmm. On our return we had room 201, the ceiling was mouldy and beds felt damp with a musty smell. The breakfasts could be improved, pretty ordinary. The hotel and location itself are both excellent, but infortunately next time I would definitely upgrade for a decent nights sleep.Staff were very polite and helpful.This would be a magnificent hotel if it could get itself at least a four star rating.
