Great little hotel, with unique decor. Love the location which is slightly off the beaten path. Stayed twice coming and going thru San Antonio. Stayed in the queen deluxe both times, but on opposite sides of hotel. The side facing parking lot is a little quieter than the room overlooking river walk/ocho restaurant. If its the weekend you probably get late night eaters and the noise can easily be heard in the room. Also on the parking lot side the rooms are a bit lighter, my preference. Service was very friendly.

Stayed in a king room, 2nd floor, overlooking parking lot.This is NOT a typical hotel. Hardwood floors, woven rugs, form over function. No iron, hair dryer, vanity, closet, hangers. Cleanliness was ok, but the wood floors trap dirt. Bathroom had hairs in tub and floor. Tub was small and shower head height is set at "hobbit".Great bath products, cool SMEG fridge with Mexican soft drinks, beers, wines, etc. super roomy.Restaurant is good but others on the Riverwalk are superior. Bar makes good strong drinks. Again, really cool aesthetics but not great execution.WARNING... It is noisy! The hotel is adjacent to a major construction project. The truck back up beepers start at 0615am each morning. A car alarm from the hotel parking lot joined this cacophony from 0630-0900am. Choose a north room.

This is my favorite kind of hotel. It has history and character and sensibility. There is nothing cookie cutter about it. The staff is courteous, helpful and competent. I can't vouch for all the rooms but our king room on the second floor was spacious and immaculate and appealingly funky. The apartment size mint green fridge with an eclectic assortment of spirits was a fine surprise. However, don't let its convenience keep you from heading down to Ocho, the colorful, tropical greenhouse attached to the hotel that serves as bar and casual cafe. Its rolling glass garage-type doors are open in fine weather and over look a serene strip of the river walk. Bartender Jerel makes a first class martini along with Cuban inspired libations. It is a lovely place to linger. Hotel Havana is designed to encourage lingering. There are several nooks, inside and out, with inviting lounge chairs, and the location of the Havana is thankfully enough removed from the crowds of the chain hotels to allow for relaxing. Our only quibbles were the early morning noise from nearby construction (with any luck, soon to be completed) and the dimness of the lighting in Room 26. The bedside lamps did not allow reading and the bathroom lighting was not adequate for applying make-up. Otherwise a 5 star review and still a lovely stay.

Amazing! Absolutely beautiful historic hotel with so much charm! Very unique! Wonderful and helpful staff! Great location on the quiet side of the Riverwalk. Perfect overall! We stayed in the queen suite. Just the right size for two. Retro mini fridge added a nice tough. Very clean, custom bedding...great home away from home.

We stayed one night in standard queen room. Our reservation was for queen suite but was on ground floor. Staff at desk was very helpful and let us look at available rooms before deciding. We chose 2nd floor smaller room but with windows on 3 sides to minimize street noise. Room was comfortable. Shower was excellent. Housekeeping responded very quickly to our request for additional pillows. Room was very clean, except for floor which needed additional vacuuming-not a deal breaker. Even with many windows, the room and bathroom seems dark. The reading lights above the bed are great.We enjoyed light meal with drinks on community balcony at front. Our room windows looked out over this balcony. We were disappointed that room service never picked up our dishes including dishes of someone that used balcony later in that same day. When we checked out the next morning, all dishes and trays were still there.Parking is convenient but tight if you have a larger vehicle. Navarro St in one way which makes access to parking a little tricky since you pass lot before getting to hotel entrance.We loved the beautiful bar looking out over the Riverwalk. The portion of the Riverwalk is newer and quite clean, beautiful and quiet---perfect for strolling up to the locks and dam. There was a river taxi that could be used to take you to the busier area with restaurants and shops.We were glad we got to try Hotel Havana since we are on business often in San Antonio.
