A wonderful stay in this beautiful spotless hotel. However what made it was the staff- so friendly, helpful and hospitable. From the moment we arrived with transfer from the airport to advice on beautiful restaurants, making reservations and providing advice on where to visit in the city. It was my birthday the day after we checked out however I arrived at breakfast to balloons and a cake on the table. Highly recommend this hotel

We had a wonderful stay at the El Candil hotel in Havana. The hotel is spotlessly clean, wonderfully decorated and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Reception and general help by Rosabel & Guiomar is priceless, backed up by Nestor at night, all brilliant guys. The rest of the staff are also lovely, helpful and attentive too. Roof top bar is serves great food and drinks, bar and food staff again - super. All in all we would thoroughly recommend the hotel as your Havana base. David & Alison from London

Our stay was almost perfect, the location in the middle of Vedado is great, the hotels itself has a special style and atmosphere from old days of Havana that transports you years in the past. The staff was helpful and accommodating (we asked for a late checkout). The room was clean and well decorated. The only issue was the lack of WiFi signal in our room, to get some signal we had to stick by the reception. If I can suggest anything, it would be to get a better coverage inside the hotel.

I had an amazing stay at El Candil Boutique Hotel! The room was exceptionally spacious and spotless, offering a comfortable and luxurious feel.

My wife and i travel a lot, and this Is one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. The staff is simply the best! The boutique style, intimate atmosphere and central location to 5 star dining and first class live entertainment, adds to its charm. Very clean. Private and quiet common areas. The roof top patio is fully facilitated including bar, big screen TV’s and lounge areas. You can listen to live music echoing throughout the area from the restaurant roof top patio one block away! The food here was excellent too!We would like to shout out to the concierges, Yanetxy, Guiomar, and Rosabel who gave great recommendations, service and assistance with all our needs. We were treated like family here! The hotel owner is lucky to have them! We will be coming back here again for sure. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

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.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming boutique hotel in Havana, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service, which truly set the tone for my stay. The attention to detail here is unparalleled, and it felt like every need was anticipated before I even had a chance to ask. The hotel is beautifully decorated and each room has a unique charm, and the tasteful decor made it feel like a cozy home away from home. The ambiance is calm and inviting, providing the perfect escape after a day exploring the streets of Havana. One of the standout features of this hotel is its location. Situated just a short walk from the iconic Malecón, it offers easy access to the waterfront, making it the perfect base for those looking to explore the city’s beautiful coastline and nearby attractions. The area felt safe and welcoming, with great dining options at the hotel. What truly made this stay unforgettable, however, was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that I felt taken care of. From offering helpful local tips to arranging transportation, nothing was too much trouble. A huge thank you to Rosabel ,Yanetxy, Guiomar Yaquelin ,Dagnay, Miguel, Giraldo, Nestor, Javier, Armando, & Jesus. If you’re looking for a peaceful, stylish retreat with top-notch service in a prime location, this boutique hotel is an absolute must. I can’t wait to return!

Absolutely loved this privately owned hotel! The staff was super friendly and recommended places to eat and stuff to do. It was the main reason why I booked this spot. They were easy to get ahold of, made sure we had a ride to and from the airport and anything we did! Definitely would stay here again.

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.
