A genuinely premium experience — I would absolutely stay here again.
Pros:

An outstanding stay from start to finish. The high ceilings and refined interior design create a sophisticated, contemporary atmosphere. The shared lounge area with a coffee corner and outdoor patio is beautifully designed and perfect for relaxing.

The suite itself was immaculate — ultra-clean, modern, and thoughtfully equipped. The enormous shower, electric shades, and high-quality bed linens added a true five-star hotel feel. Parking right in front of the building was very convenient, and the host was exceptionally responsive and professional.

A genuinely premium experience — I would absolutely stay here again.

Stylisches Hotel mit vielen Annehmlichkeiten
Pros:

Super schöne Unterkunft, sehr stylisch eingerichtet, tolle Idee mit dem großen Empfangsbereich und der Selbstbedienung. Das Zimmer war zwar klein, aber komfortabel, tolle Produkte im Bad.

Cons:

Unter der angegebenen Telefonnummer war niemand zu erreichen, auf Nachfragen habe ich auch keine Antwort bekommen. Zum Glück hat mit dem Checkin alles über die App funktioniert.

Fantastic location, need ear plugs.
Pros:

Fantastic location, decent bed, nice bathrooms and lobby. Was able to store luggage after check out. Nice staff (Spanish only, used Google translate).

Cons:

Lacks noise protection. Neighborhood is quiet at night, there are roosters in the morning. Hallways echoes, there's a large gap at the bottom of the entry doors that let in light and noise, we put a towel to muffle some noise. There's a loud 30s tapping (plumbing?) every hour or so, so bring ear plugs. I didn't mind it (heavy sleeper), but my spouse had trouble sleeping. I personally would love to rebook it, but my spouse would not.

Lets not give our money to robot hotels
Pros:

Excellent location near Calle Ocho in the heart of Little Havana. Rooms were well furnished with mid-century modern style and indoor and outdoor common areas were comfortable and inviting.

Cons:

This "hotel" is a "contactless" or, unstaffed, facility. There are two housekeepers during the day who do their best to assist with any issues, but they are there to clean the property. Most things will require a visit to the very basic website, which also doesn't solve most issues. Calling gets an AI chatbot. With enough persistence, you can be directed to leave a voice mail and an off site manager will call you back. They are very good about calling back promptly, but this phone tag will need to be repeated each time.
I rated the staff so low not because there were issues individual staff members. On the contrary, everyone I spoke with was professional and friendly. I gave the staff such a low rating because this company made a financial decision to eliminate human services that can make an ordinary stay unforgettable. Replacing a traditional front desk with technology might seem preferable to some, but eliminating the human element entirely makes for a cold experience if everything goes perfectly and is highly frustrating if even the smallest issue arrises.
Apparently, there are free bicycles for the guests that are in a locked room that is accessed by housekeeping. I asked one of the two cleaners about renting a bike and was directed to the hotel app (website). The website just mentions that the bikes exist, with no instructions on how to check them out. I didn't feel like making more calls, so I just didn't bother. Thankfully, I did not have any serious issues after hours.
Another major issue I had with online check-in is that I was required to scan my ID and biologics (facial recognition). I found this very intrusive and have no way of ensuring the security of the scans. Since I was only asked after I had paid for the reservation, I was forced to surrender personal identification information. I would not have chosen this hotel had i known I would be required to do this. I am fairly easy to please.

Pros:

Hôtel très bien décoré, on a le sentiment d'être dans une grande maison. La salle de bain de la chambre est superbe, avec des produits de qualité à disposition.
Petit déjeuner simple mais appréciable : yaourts, céréales, café, feuilletés, fruits frais, jambon et fromage.
Le personnel de l'hôtel est vraiment très agréable, et arrangeant. Nous avons pu avoir un check-out tardif facilement et sans payer de frais supplémentaires. On doit passer par une application pour pouvoir contacter le personnel de l'hôtel. Cette application sert aussi à ouvrir la porte de l'hôtel, et la porte de notre chambre. Il n'y a pas de réception.
Le quartier dans lequel se situe l'hôtel (Little Havana) est vraiment très agréable à visiter.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner ne semble pas être réapprovisionné après le passage des premières personnes, ce qui limite très fortement le choix si vous n'y allez pas assez tôt.
La chambre est très petite, c'est presque difficile d'avoir sa valise ouverte sans être gêné pour ouvrir les portes.
La porte de la chambre donne sur le couloir principal. Cela peut être vraiment très bruyant, il n'y a aucune isolation phonique entre les chambres et le couloir. Nous avons eu la malchance d'avoir des occupants très bruyants dans le hall de l'hôtel, ce qui nous a empêché de dormir en début de nuit. Il y a une machine à glace qui fait aussi énormément de bruit dans le couloir. Par ailleurs, l'hôtel se trouve à proximité de l'aéroport donc on entend très fort les avions. Heureusement, les vols s'arrêtent la nuit.

Beautiful and clean place located in the heart of Calle 8.
Pros:

The property was beautiful and conveniently located near Calle 8. Loved the nespresso machine in the lobby and great to have a fridge in the room.

Cons:

We stayed on the first floor and every time someone used the faucet upstairs, it made a loud sound like the pipe shaking. It was loud enough to wake us up.

Nie wieder
Pros:

Wir hatten 3 Zimmer gebucht inclusive Frühstück. Vor Ort haben wir dann erfahren erfahren, dass es im Hotel gar kein Frühstück gibt. Also musste wir auswärts frühstücken gehen, mit 5 Personen jeweils ca. 150$. Die elektrische Jalousie war aus der Führung gesprungen und funktionierte nicht, in meinem Zimmer war es stockdunkel. Es gab keinen Lichtschalter beim Bett, musste im Dunkeln das Bett ansteuern. Check-in hat gar nicht funktioniert, wir haben das Hotel angeschrieben, daraufhin haben wir 2 Telefonnummern erhalten, die beide nicht vergeben sind. Abends kam dann eine Reinigungskraft, die uns den Code gegeben hat. Alle anderen Gäste hatten die gleichen Probleme

Cons:

alles hätte besser sein können

Lovely hotel, but lack of staff meant frustration when automated system doesn’t work.
Pros:

The hotel itself was lovely, nice decor and comfortable facilities. Friendly and polite staff

Cons:

However due to there being no staff we had an issue with getting our check in code, which meant when dropping bags we had to wait an hour outside the hotel before someone arrived to store them. Then when we returned later on after check in time. However we still hadn’t been issued a check in code, we later found this was due to an issue on the system but again left us trying to call and message to access the building which left us quite furstrated. I was thankful I was with my partner as if I’d been on my own, I’d have felt quite scared waiting outside the property as the location didn’t feel the safest at night although the hotel was very secure once inside.

Dag zelf verblijf geannuleerd
Pros:

De dag zelf werd ons verblijf geannuleerd, omdat ze ineens aan het verbouwen waren. Wij stonden toen op de luchthaven in Londen toen we dit te horen kregen en moesten hals over kop een ander hotel zien te vinden. Lijkt mij niet dat je dit de ochtend zelf pas weet dat je aan het verbouwen bent, dus erg onklantvriendelijk.

Cons:

NO BREAKFAST and no REFUND
Pros:

Place was nice and clean very modern.
Room keeper could not speak English but she done her best to help us out with her phone translation. This company lucky to have her working there.

Cons:

I have booked this property with breakfast but place doesn’t give breakfast
I have contacted booking also property manager of the place and both side blaming each other and nothing has been sorted and never received my breakfast money back either manager was keep saying he will get it sorted but nothing has been sorted
Booking says they try to contact by phone and email to property but manager says nobody contacted him and he promise to get it sorted but still did not get it sorted before I write a review
I feel like been robbed by false advertising.
This issue has been going on for a while as you can see same complain with other customers also and I don’t understand how they advertise with breakfast and taking your money but no breakfast. I even sent screenshots to confirm it I have paid with breakfast but problem or refund has not been sorted
When you book it make sure somewhere with breakfast served.

Pros:

The location couldn't be better, and the whole place is so thoughtfully and beautifully designed. The decor, furniture and vibe was so zeb abd luxe and stylish. I loved the water/ice filler, candy and the nespresso machines. Staff were so accommodating and nice. The location could not be beat, 2 short blocks to the heart of Calle Ocho!

Cons:

Our small room on the 1st floor was rather loud- air conditioning making clicks and noises etc. And the sharp corner of the low bed frame took out several shins!

Don’t waste your money
Pros:

The automatic window shade and fancy building designs.

Cons:

On the site, it said breakfast available…when I got there was never breakfast.

When I arrived, I had to constantly call the number and knock in order to get in. Then when I got in, it took 20 minutes to get my room ready when the text said my room would be ready when I get there.

The shower soap bottles were almost empty so I had to shake them to actually get some soap.


Plus. I couldn’t take pictures so I could add to booking.com review cause they prohibited photos.
