Hotel Ambos Mundos, Old Havana, Havana, Cuba
The eclectic Ambos Mundos Hotel was built in the late 1920's and it is an intimate and cozy place that stands out because of its history. In the early 1930's, the American writer, Ernest Hemingway, stayed in this hotel and, in the room 511, he wrote the first chapter of For whom the bell tolls since he found the hotel "a good place to write".
Nowadayas, the room the writer had, keeps some of his belongings and the Plaza de Armas restaurant serves his favorite dishes. Besides, the hotel has a wonderful rooftop bar-restaurant that has exquisite grilled food and the best of the views. The privileged location of the hotel, downtown, makes it an excellent place to admire the values of the old part of the city.
Hotel Ambos Mundos is located in the heart of old Havana.

London, Rating: 4 of 5, Date of Stay: December 2008
I was a bit freightened because i was informed that the stars in Cuba are a bit different from what i'm used to. I asked for a room with a view. As my expectations were low, I liked it very much. The roof top breakfast (but the food was nothing special and the fruit was awful), the location is excelent, the employees are nice, the atmosphere of the hotel being old was very nice.
