Hotel Havana

My wife & I enjoyed the Hotel Havana-fun, comfortable & amazing customer service. Plus it's quiet & close-12-15 minute walk to the busier part of the river walk, shops, restaurants etc. . Next door to the Tobin Cultural Center!

Rudy at the Front Desk provided excellent customer service & a warm welcome. He recommended Pinkerton's BBQ, Moon Daughter's for the great view & a cocktail. We found a fabulous restaurant, Domingo's , great food, customer service & ambiance! We ate dinner & breakfast there. Both meals fabulous. Enjoyed room 31-great king bed, nice balcony next to the room. Great roof top garden/patio with seating in the second floor, easy parking & a Tesla Charger if you need it. I would stay again on my next trip especially for the great personalized service & comfy king bed & fun cooler filled with great beverages.

The Havana Hamburgesa was a pure delight... Notes of Chili Relleno and pineapple served with handmade chips on the side. Havana Hotel has an open-air veranda with additional outdoor porch seating on the river walk. The menu is not extensive, but what they have is worthwhile. We visited during lunch on a mid-April afternoon. The weather and atmosphere were wonderful.

I decided to write this review because I feel like people should know what they are spending their money on. We recently spent a weekend here and booked directly. We paid around $500 a night in total. I am shocked at how much it was for how poor the hotel is. We could have gone so many other much nicer places for the money. This hotel feels like its more of a motel quality. Its designed to be cute, but it looks more like a fast flip. Floors were chipped, light fixtures had cobwebs on them, the pillows seemed really lumpy and old, everything seemed dirty, there is no coffee maker or kettle in the room, not even a box of tissues. They do leave you two individual tissues on top of the toilet though. Our room was on the second floor and the noise was not too bad but the creaking from someone walking around at 5 am was loud enough to wake me up. My cousin's room was on the first floor and oddly looked into the restaurant which was awkward. She said it was very loud. My husband went to get water to fill up our bottles from the bar and was told it was for bar customers only. I will never stay here again and actively tell people to avoid it. I forgot to take photos of our room but grabbed some from my cousins.

Before I called to check in with the remarkably helpful friendly staff, I knew I'd love this PAW friendly hotel.

Often spending as little as possible on a place to lay my head, I determined to splurge visiting my son, his wife, and my first grandson on Thanksgiving. Unfortunately the beautiful bar and Ocho restaurant attached to the hotel were closed, but happily I had visited both on previous visits.

This is a BOUTIQUE HOTEL. If you're accustomed to Holiday Inn Express, and cannot imagine any alternative, then DO Not Book Here.

For our 10th anniversary we decided to stay local and enjoy downtown San Antonio
Cons:
-our room was off the lobby and windows facing the main entrance way. Sound privacy is not an option. You can hear everything happening in the lobby and all around.
-Housekeeping accidentally walked in our room an hour after we checked in ( didn't knock just walked in)
-the toilet clogged and "no one was available to fix until maybe 10am or 10:30" so my husband asked for a plunger and the housekeeper gave it to the front desk to give the plunger to my husband.
-Dirty windows in our room full of windows

Pros:
-Boutique old hotel w charm
-The basement lounge/bar is romantic and eclectic
-the restaurant OCHO is very delish and pretty
-small room is still spacious and a lot of natural light

Great hotel. Enjoyed my time here. However, went to the bar and an older gentleman and his date were sitting on the couch when we were at the bar. Great drinks by the way. I happen to glance over and he had pulled down her top and exposed her breast and leaned down and started to suck on her nipple. I have never been so offended in my life. For those of you who know me i am very out spoken and i kept my mouth shut. Basically that is very trashy. Maybe she was a prostitute. Overall, nice historic hotel. Only downfall is the trash at the bar. I hope they see my review. Three stars based on my bar experience.

I loved this place. We went for an in-town anniversary getaway, and truly enjoyed the atmosphere. The gals at the front desk, Edie and Jordyn, were very nice, very funny, and fun to talk to. Very pleasant and professional, also! The atmosphere is just amazing. Hardwood floors that creak, real keys for your room on a brass key ring. Nice robes, cool fridges...just a neat place. Glad we splurged!

Frozen in time, place is amazing. Nothing like it.

Within walking distance of Tobin Center for the performing arts, and museum of fine arts

Did not stay at the hotel but came to visit the Havana bar after dinner at ocho. Intimate, chill boutique-y vibe which feels like an old school speakeasy! We ordered the mezcal margarita which was amazing. Kudos to Kim and will visit again when in the area

I had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Havana during a recent business trip to San Antonio, and it was one of the nicest hotel experiences I've had in quite awhile. Located near SA's epic and popular Riverwalk, the Hotel Havana has a Cuba-meets-Texas vibe with a slight hint of "this place could be haunted" (but not in a bad way). There's eclectic furniture throughout, high ceilings, and beautifully decorated public spaces that carry through with the aforementioned vibe.

My queen room was spacious, yet cozy. It had all the amenities, except for a coffee pot (though 24/7 coffee was available in the lobby). It also boasted was was definitely the largest in-room cash bar I've ever seen, including an almost house-sized refrigerator filled with anything you can imagine! The snack selection was no slouch either, though I managed to limit myself to just one bag of Hippeas during my entire stay.

The bed was comfortable, and the shower hot. The hotel-provided earplugs were appreciated, though I didn't find myself needing them. I did use the lovely in-room robe, which is always a nice perk to a hotel stay.

I also loved that the Riverwalk was accessible just across the street from the main entrance. It was a lovely 10-minute stroll to the main Riverwalk action with all the restaurants and bars - close enough to enjoy but not too close to as to affect noise levels around the hotel. I would definitely stay at Hotel Havana again!
