Decided to book a two centre holiday in Cuba, three nights in Havana and seven nights in Jibacoa. We chose Ambos, because it was fairly small and becuase of the history with Hemingway. We were not disappointed with it, the lobby had an old-fashioned 30's feel to it, with the pianist playing and the bar being the main focal point.... more

The Ambos Mundos hotel is perfectly located in the very center of Old Havana, near Plaza de Armas. It has a wonderful view from the roof where breakfast is served. The only thing to have to check is that they give you a room with a window ! Some rooms haven't... We were shown three rooms before we got one... more

We really enjoyed the hotel Ambos Mundos. Yes, it is overpriced but it´s hard to get a place in a good location in Havana that isn´t and trust us the less you pay the less you get. There are some really grotty places here. Make sure when booking here you ask for a room with a view or you´re stay... more

We only stayed in this hotel as when we arrived at Hotel Florida (2 blocks away) to start our Honeymoon we were told that they had a problem with their airconditioning and had to stay one night at this hotel. We were allocated the room below where Ernest Hemingway stayed which had lovely large windows overlooking the square & street.... more

The Ambos Mundos is right in the heart of Old Hanana within minutes of all the Historic sights, museums and Catherdral. The moment you enter this hotel you step back in time 50 years. This is the place that Hemingway chose to live for seven years during his stay in Cuba and his room is open to viewing by tourists... more

The hotel is excellently sited for sightseeing and walking around old Havana. Unfortunately, our group, of over 10 people were moved from room to room over the course of the week. The hotel told us this was because they were renovating the rooms, but no work was done on the rooms. This caused a lot of hassle, as you can... more

Booked this hotel as part of a 2 centre holiday in the Caribbean, After reading the reviews, and arriving with mixed thoughts I was more than impressed. The room fair to say was small and lacked a window but was comfortable and clean. Tha maid service was excellent and efficient. The Rooftop restaurant was amongst the best visited in Havana,... more

Hotel Ambos Mundos has a great location - Old Havana at your door step. The buffet breakfast was generally good, especially as one was able to watch the sunrise over Havana and hear the city come alive. Watching street vendors at night time from the balcony is something that I will always remember. The Hotel staff though were not ideal... more

Despite all the reviews we had read this hotel was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful and the triple family room more than adequate - All round a good stay (especially by cuban standards) Breakfast was very good, especially the fresh mangos. more
