It is difficult to review after receiving service that was nothing short of friendly, attentive and extremely helpful, however, pushing a premium price of $170 per night for a room when not all amenities are available, is cheeky. The hotel could’ve lowered the price considering the advertised pool had no water in it and the wifi didn’t reach our room. The room was situated between an outdoor walkway, leaving very little room for privacy when the blinds were open. The furniture is beautiful and a statement piece but upon closer inspection, the finishes are quite cheap. The above made this stay extremely difficult to justify the price for value received. The team was incredible, so it’s really not the service that lacks but more the quality of the establishment.

I had an amazing stay at El Candil Boutique Hotel! The room was exceptionally spacious and spotless, offering a comfortable and luxurious feel. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our entire stay even more enjoyable. The food and drinks were excellent, and the fact that they accept card payments made everything so convenient. I would highly recommend staying at this 5-star boutique hotel to anyone looking for a great experience!

It was a beautiful restored mansion. The main problem was the bed - it was absolutely awful. I struggled for 2 days to sleep properly. The staff, Yanexy and Rosabel found a way to make it more comfortable. The wifi was terrible here. They need to fix it. Otherwise everything else was lovely.

We had a great experience at El Candil, beautiful property and very clean. Yanetxi and Rosabel were extremely helpful to arrange transportation, tours to explore the city and to provide us with tips on things to do or things to avoid. The food was very good comparing to what is available around the area. We definitely recommend El Candil as we enjoyed our stay with them.

El Candil is a really special place. The staff are wonderful, professional people, and look out for you. The property is pristine, comfortable, and (important for me) quiet. The restaurant serves really good food and you are within walking distance of tasty paladares. If you want to go into Havana, taxis are just a call away. The staff are linked up to a great network of tour guides who can take you wherever. I had such a great stay and will absolutely come back. Thank you, gracias to the brilliant team of people at El Candil.

Yanxtey went above and beyond with her excellent costumer service, honestly all the staff was great and wonderful. The hotel was very clean and the room was big and nice . The only downside is the internet which is really bad , so basically no internt at my room I had to go in certain area at the lobby to get some signal . The hotel is away from only havan like 10 miuntes drive. Definitely I will be back if they work on the internet.

Sublimely extravagant boutique hotel. We have stayed in many luxury hotels and few boutique hotels and El Candil is by far the most amazing experience (yes it's not a stay it's an experience) we have ever had the pleasure of. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and there is nothing they won't do for you. Arranging tours, transfers and great advice. Attention to detail is in every aspect of your experience. We were treated to a roof top terrace with only one other guest. A barman/server and two chefs! We felt like Royalty. Fresh cocktails made to order and beautiful food made fresh to order whilst soaking up the relaxing atmosphere of the private (for guest) roof terrace. The room is beautifully decorated,again with attention to detail in everything. The bed, bedding and pillow are sumptuous. We can't recommend El Candil enough our only regret was not booking this hotel for our entire stay in Havana. We will definitely be back and cannot recommend the hotel and it's staff enough.

The hotel is about 10 minutes by taxi out of the old Havana area, it felt safe and welcoming the minute you arrived. Yanetxy and Rosebel were most helpful and accommodating at this beautiful boutique hotel. We were given suggestions were to eat and how to stay safe while touring around Havana. They were instrumental in arranging our vintage car tour of Havana which was incredible! There is a roof top bar and a restaurant that serves amazing food. Definitely will stay here again when we come back to Cuba!

Excellent on all Levels, Great and Beautiful place. Excellent food as well, ama,ing chef and very quiet location. My one and only complain which is very minor is that i was charged $3.00 (us) for a very, very, very small cup of coffee and it was even half full!!! I thought it was absurd. But over all experience was Excellent. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return.
