No title - expert review San Antonio's most bohemian boutique hotel occupies a Mediterranean Revival structure built in 1914. You'll find teak and wicker chairs from India, beds fashioned from the grillwork of old buildings, and vintage chairs from French hotels and bistros. Don't miss Club Cohiba, the martini bar in the ba... fodors.com
No title - expert review Though no longer the River Walk's newest new thing, this is still a pretty hot bed stop. Decked out to suggest travelers' lodgings from the 1920s, this intimate inn - built in 1914 in Mediterranean Revival style - oozes character. All the guest quarters are delightfully different, with a safari hat ... frommers.com
No title - expert review The shabby-chic Club Cohiba bar is all that remains of a once-promising culinary complex at this atmospheric hostelry; the associated restaurant, formerly the kingpin of the operation, has faded from the scene. The glassy, chandelier-studded table-seating area generally looks abandoned, and the menu... gayot.com
No title - expert review This inn was constructed nearly a century ago as a residential hotel. Today, it combines the personalized charm of a B&B with the convenience of a larger luxury property. Its historic mood invites travelers to take a luxurious step back in time. Many of the furnishings have been collected from aroun... gayot.com
No title - expert review This unique inn was built in 1914 as a residence hotel and today retains its air of vintage-style and elegance. All of the beautiful 27 air-conditioned rooms have wooden floors, sisal rugs and down comforters, whilst some include elaborate four-poster beds. The European antiques are wonderful, as ar... johansens.com
One of the best - user review Havan is one of the best hotels in San Antonio. It's got it's own unique, upscale accomodations with the cigar lounge downstairs and plump featherbeds awaiting your stay upstairs. It's centrally located to the riverwalk and all downtown venues. I would recommend this to a local or tourist for a grea... sanantonio.citysearch.com

great hotel but quite a walk to main area of River walk area - user review Hotel was exceptional. They made you feel welcome and they were very helpful. I was surprised at the location, as I thought it was right on the River Walk, but it was quite a walk to the restaurants and bars. The cigar bar in the hotel was quite a night spot. The restaurant had good breakfast and co... expedia.com
delightfully rustic - user review i liked the location in regard to the riverwalk. it was at the northern end but still only 4 5 blocks walking distance. there was a boat landing at across from the hoteland would recommend that at least once. must try the cigar room, and i don't smok... expedia.com
Not Impressed - user review I would not recommend this hotel unless you are really into antiques. The hotel is noisy; you could hear the people walking in the room above you, the birds chirping outside were annoying and the garbage removal in the middle of the night was too much. Also this hotel doesn't have all the comforts o... expedia.com
Nice Antique Feel - user review If you like antiques, you will definitely like this hotel. The hard wood floors, plantation shutters,outside and inside appearance of the old days makes this a very memorable stay. Great for a weekend getaway like my wife and I did! Traveler's tip on recreational activities.Take the river taxi or do... expedia.com
A pleasant stay - user review It is a rustic hotel. It's comfortable and within easy walking distance to the riverwalk. The parking fee per day, though moderately priced, is not included in the original bill which could be... expedia.com
Beautiful hotel - user review It's a good hotel to stay at if you don't mind the walk to the main drag of the river and you really like an antique feel. Not for those who like a lot of amenities. The club downstairs remind... expedia.com
Wonderful Stay - user review Our room was so perfect! It was comfortable, yet had an old elegance at the same time. I loved the feel of the hotel. The creaky stairs, the darkness, and the layout all added to the experience. Our room was tucked away in a little corner, so we were not bothered at all by any noise. A super place! ... expedia.com
Extremely Satisfied - user review Spent a majority of our time in the lounge area in the basement. Has a European or even South American feel to the place. Rooms were extremely clean. This hotel offers a unique experience. I would definitely... expedia.com
Quaint, Friendly - user review Stayed four nights at the Havana. Staff was very nice and professional. Rooms are clean and spacious. Only complaint was noise from outside with garbage pickup and traffic. Would be nice to have a jacuzzi in the room. Only had a shower. Lounge is a nice bonus. Ate breakfast next door OK. Would defin... expedia.com
Ready to walk? - user review The funky Havanna Riverwalk Inn lacks the services needed to make up for its out of the way location. It had no restaurant or cafe or any working guest access to the quiet stretch of Riverwalk it borders. The only morning coffee available was a flavored brew in the lobby. (I can't recall the last ti... expedia.com
A Different Style in San Antonio - user review The hotel felt like we had gone back in time and might have been in Cuba (although I have never been there). The rooms were great just like the virtual reality tours. It was a different feel for an really great city. Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay.The hotel is out of the way and... expedia.com
Rustic charm in a historic hotel - user review The hotel was a pleasant diversion from the big antiseptic chain hotels. Rustic and antique furnishings in the rooms and around the hotel give it the amount of character befitting a historic building. Hotel is in a great location only a few blocks from the hustle and bustle of the main Riverwalk ent... expedia.com
Okay, but would probably not return - user review The hotel was nice, rooms clean. It was farther than 3 blocks to the Alamo, closer to 8 or 9. Yes it was on the Riverwalk but not the really well travelled part of it. They offered a turn down service but always had to get ice every night because they either left only a little or none at all. I had ... expedia.com
Unbelievable - user review The hotel water was shut off the day of check out. However, the hotel refused to give any kind of credit back and did not even offer an apology. Instead, they proceeded to charge $10 per night for p... expedia.com
Havana Riverwalk Inn Problems - user review This hotel is a remodeled, old hotel with in turn of the century decor. We were in room 301. The biggest problem was that the thermostat was virtually useless! It was not working well to start with and, since it was installed in the entry way hall (by the warm/hot corridor), it thought that the AC n... expedia.com
boasts of nostalgic charm - user review Warm welcome that boasts of nostalgic charm. Rooms are decorated with extraordinary care, not your typical franchised decor, but each is appointed with antiquities that bring a nostalgic charm of its own. Mattresses were very comfortable. The service of each employee was incredible. Cleanliness was ... expedia.com
We loved it! - user review We had read some negative reviews and were a little concerned.But The Havana was beautiful.My husband and I enjoyed the hotel very much, especially the feeling that things were the way they may have been 100 years ago. The only problems were the busses that ran all night (ask for a back Room)and the... expedia.com
Too Bad - user review We live in Texas and have stayed at a few boutique hotels such as the San Jose in Austin. I hoped for a pleasant experience at the Havana even though the reviews were not complimentary. It is a shame that a place with so much potential is ruined by poor service. We waited 45 minutes for washcloths t... expedia.com
No kids, usually - user review We stay a this hotel because it's on the quiet side of the riverwalk and does not allow children. However, during our last stay, we woke up to the unmistakable sound of a man yelling at his child, PUT YOUR PANTS ON! It was amusing at best and annoying at worst. I asked at the desk about the policy a... expedia.com
Deceiving - user review We went to the hotel thinking that it would look like the picture at least some what and thinking that it would be clean and nice. Our room did not have a canopy bed like in the picture. When I asked the front desk if all the rooms had canopy beds she said most did was suprised that we werent in one... expedia.com
Great for being off the beaten path. - user review We were there during Fiesta which is not a good idea when relying on public transportation was my only complaint. The staff were helpful, maid service was excellent and the accomodations were a nice change to regular modern hotels. The decor is amazing. O... expedia.com
Cozy and unique - user review Well let me start off by saying that anyone that complains about this hotel is wrong! My husband and I love this place! It is very unique and one of a kind. If u stay here expect for it to be antique and worn in. HELLO! It was built in 1912 or something like that! It really takes u back in time and ... expedia.com
It was okay... - user review Well, some of the things we noticed when we got there was that no one helped us with our luggage and the elevator was broken with someone actually stuck inside!!!
