One of the few Hostel style Casa Particulares so a good place to meet other travelers. In Centro not the Old Town which means a little walk but less hassling.

Absolutely brilliant. Great place to start a trip round Cuba. The location is perfect. You're away from the real tourist part of Havana yet still within easy walking distance. The staff are excellent - very friendly and helpful. Rolandos is the perfect place to meet people.
