Unbeatable views and cozy family stay in Havana
My father and I came to stay with Melba and Alberto after not being in Cuba for 13 years. Our experience was above and beyond any expectation I could have had. The owners are incredibly generous, friendly and helpful. First of all the place is easy to find and check-in was straight forward! The view of our room was spectacular with the malecon on one side and el capitolio on the other. Wifi is available all you have to do is get the log-in. Water pressure in bath is good and bed was comfy as well as AC available in our room. Breakfast was tasty and Melba's homemade fruit juices were so good. The hotel is in a great location because it is walking distance from old havana, museums, and other iconic havana sites. I couldn't recommend EL81 more! Muchas gracias Melba y Alberto, saludos y espero verlos pronto.

This is the perfect spot for solo traveller or two people. Well-located, lots of eateries around and just a few steps off Malecón. The host’s family was so friendly kind and welcoming. And the view omg the view. I can just sit at the balcony for hours in the morning and at sunset, nothing can beat the view

Lovely place with lovely hosts. Wonderful view from the room and apartment with a large balcony, it has everything you need in a very central area of Havana, close to the sea. Loved the breakfast as well. Great WiFi which is quite rare in Cuba.

This is a well maintained apartment building very clean and has elevator., it is a block to the Malecon easy walking to restaurants, shopping and has weekend market where the locals sell goods and perfrom entertainment, here you get the real Havana experience. My favorite was that it was walking distance to Casa Música where you can enjoy big Cuban Bands dance to salsa and other styles of music. The apartment itself was super clean, the host lovely and the breakfast awesome!

Amazing place!
It was definitely one of the best casa in Cuba. The house was clean, beautiful and welcoming. And it had amazing view of the city. Having breakfast in the terrace was one of our favorite experience during the trip. The hosts were also very nice and sweet. I strongly recommend this house!

El81 is a pleasure to visit. From the terrace for breakfast to its location 10 minutes to the Prado and the incredibly helpful family who host you, the apartment is a great find. The rooms each have a private bathroom and are very spacious for either a couple, a family travelling together or friends. You also have the ability to request home-cooked excellent and filling meals. Very much enjoyed this stay - with two teens! - and relaxing at night with a drink and looking at the Havana sky.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hosts, always helping and caring. Great terrace with an amazing view over Havanna and to the sea. Breakfast (on the terrace) is typically cuban, so fruits, eggs, bread, juice, coffee. 10 Minutes to Havanna Vieja by foot.

10/10 Exceptional

Well worth it……
My stay here was excellent. The wifi was strong when you needed it. The breakfast was very good, with fruit juice, refills, a form of toast, coffee, refills, fruit and eggs to order. I had a room ( in a family’s apartment ) with views of the city and of the sea. It was within easy walk of the Malecon and the “ city centre”. I highly recommend.

If you looking for a nice place to stay in Havana, these guys are best. Very helpful, great food and lovely views of the sea. Place is very central and walking to everywhere is easy! The hosts are very nice and thank you for making our trip so nice. They arranged for our taxi, and food was a blessing! Far from home this was our home. Clean and tidy, breakfast and dinner were our saviors. Very warm and inviting family.

An unforgettable vacation in Havanna.
We had a wonderful stay with Melba and Alberto. They were so kind and caring. The breakfast was delicious. We had unlimited internet. We could make coffee at any time. They arranged a taxi to the airport and cashed our dollars. Thank you for a great time in Havanna.

Highly recommend staying with Melba and Alberto. They were excellent hosts, their home is clean, spacious and comfortable. And conveniently located. My cousin and I walked to most places. Every morning, they provided us breakfast and delicious Cuban coffee! They were able to book tours for us, and give us great advice on how to get around. I am recommending my parents stay with them later this year when they come to Cuba and would recommend them to anyone else I hear is traveling. Thank you Melba and Alberto for your hospitality!

What an amazing place! The room is clean, airy, very spacious, well equipped, everything works. It has a lovely, quite large balcony with a great view of the city, its historical buildings and the ocean. The hosts are impeccable: very friendly, extremely polite. They were very helpful with the taxi rides to and from the airport, the currency exchange, maps, dinner reservations, all done very professionally as a hotel concierge. I am definitely going back! I strongly recommend it! Thank you, Melba and Alberto, for making my holidays in Havana so perfect.
Cristina, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property and the host is magnificent...if I have a suggestion it would be that they eased up the no visitor rule, I have Cuban friends and not one time I was able to bring them in offer a cold beverage or let them use the toilet...that's not good. And the other thing is they kept turning off the wi fi..for long periods of time I had no internet connection in fact I was watching a movie and all of the sudden...gone Besides that everything else was super...but I won't return.

10/10 Exceptional

Great place and great family!
When you walk in to the building, you might be a bit concerned, but not to worry, once you get out of the elevator on their floor, the home is beautiful. Alberto and Melba were kind, warm, and helpful. Their place is clean, orderly, and offered everything we needed, at a very reasonable price. They provided coffee and breakfast in the morning and even rum one evening. The location is great. Their terrace is absolutely beautiful with city and ocean views. The room we slept in was comfortable and the bathroom worked just fine. As an fyi, the Wi-Fi is not always the best. You have to ask them to provide it and they may have to reconnect from time to time. Melba has beautiful plants throughout her home and is so sweet! Alberto is also very kind. He even set up nice exercise equipment for the active travelers! There’s a heavy bag, free weights, a pull-up bar, weight bench, a stationary bike, and more. I would recommend this location for travelers with or without families/children. If I come back one day, I would choose to stay with them again.

Fabulous find. Fabulous people. Like having your own personal concierge and cook. Havana is a shock for first time travelers. Supplies are scarce and people are suffering since the pandemic. You wouldn’t know it with Melba and Alberto though. We speak decent Spanish so were able to learn a lot about Cuba’s history and culture from this well educated couple. Even if you don’t speak much Spanish, they will help you navigate in Cuba. Our room and bathroom were private and up a flight of stairs. We dined in the common areas of the flat. Guests have access to good water, a tea kettle, and coffee (made by Alberto and delicious Cuban style) almost any time of day. Melba is a wonderful cook and can do dinners on the terrace by request. Breakfast of your choice is included. A/C was cold. Window coverings. Amazing views. Typical Cuban beds, so on the firm side. Good shower. We will be returning!
