Hamel Hostel rents a bed by 5 CUC per night in two shared dorms in Centro Habana, Havana, Cuba. You must confirm me you arrive with time for I can reserve you. Remember to book your return to Havana for your departure. I prefer CUP currency(1 CUC = 25 CUP). The hostel is very cheap, nice, funny, central, legal, private, large, safe and fresh with capacity for 10 individual beds. It is perfect for students or backpackers with low budget and wishes to make foreign friends.
(Please, could you bring me a souvenir such as a flag, a hat, a wall decor or a refrigerator magnet(anything is better if it is not crystal)? Thank you)

It has a shared kitchen with tea & coffee making facilities, a shared living with seats, a table, a refrigerator with minibar and a beautiful terrace with view to Centro Habana specially to Hamel's Alley and with seats and a table.
