It is a beautiful colonial house right next to the VIAZUL bus station and opposite a big restaurant called Don Antonio - the house is really big, pretty and eye-catching with its yellow window frames.

Every room has two double beds, private bathroom with hot water - the bathroom is bigger and cleaner than any hotel bathrooms I have ever booked.

The good things about this place are that it is extraordinarily clean and tidy, very peaceful. The owner Miguel has two obedient dogs and some birds. It is great to just sit in the courtyard and garden and enjoy the serenity of the birds. It is comfortable, convenient and the price is reasonable: CUC25 - CUC30 per room. Given its perfect location, size and cleanliness, it is definitely worth more than the price range.

Miguel speaks English. He is a very friendly, generous and nice host. He's a bit shy and he never goes to the bus station to drag tourists to stay in his casa (unlike some of the other casa owners in Trinidad).

His dogs are not hostile at all. They are just lovely and manageable.

We found Trinidad to be casa heaven, and Casa Balbina Cadahia was our highlight.

Located a 4-5 minute walk from the main square, this casa contains a beautifully peaceful courtyard and large, spacious bedrooms. This was undoubtedly the most comfortable bed we stayed in on our trip.

Food was good and plentiful and our host was friendly (and English speaking for those that find that useful).

On a more general point, I would encourage you to do some casa research before leaving for Cuba. We found the Lonely Planet to be next to useless when trying to find accomodation: some places were no longer there; some, it seemed, had never been there. Use websites like this instead.

Also, despite warnings that Cuban banks will not accept debit cards, my Nationwide Visa card was happily accepted.

Anyhow, as I was saying: you'll love Trinidad, and you'll love this casa.

Everyone who's ever been to Cuba will tell you that their Casa was the best. Julio and Rosa run a wonderful, friendly Casa in one of the best-preserved colonial residences in Trinidad. Although it is one of the more expensive in Trinidad, it's worth every centavo.

For those who are so minded, Julio runs photography workshops for guests, and he can also advise on the best places to eat and visit, although the evening Rosa cooked for us beat even the most highly recommended paladare in Trinidad.

Take a bottle of Scotch and some English chocolate with you and you've got a friend for life as well!

Just 50 metres from Plaza Mayor, this casa particular has a nice room with ensuite bathroom, aircon and 24hr hot water. Outside is a small patio where you can hear music from Casa de Musica. Lovely family and great Cuban food. Owner happy to help with tours.

Rogelio and his wife are the warm and friendly hosts of this beautiful, colonial casa particular (B&B). Right in the centre of Trinidad old town, this 18th century house is filled with antiques and original features. Huge iron beds, original wooden floors and tall windows make it a truly romantic place to stay. From the roof terrace you can enjoy beautiful views over the rooftops and up to the mountains while watching the sun setting at an amazing speed over the horizon. Just 20 minutes by car or taxi to a palm-fringed, white sand beach, on one side of town and the jungle-covered mountains on the other, this casa is perfectly placed for exploring the best Trinidad has to offer. Book in advance as this place is very popular!
