Hotel Haya

Your hotel is beautiful! The rooms were clean and although we arrived over an hour early, there was no problem getting us checked in. Our stay was exceptional and your staff is really excellent, I was thoroughly impressed!

I only wanted to mention one thing with respect to accessibility. I am in a wheelchair and booked your handicap room. Everything was great except for the height of the bed. For someone with little to no leg strength, the lower than normal beds make transferring from the bed back to the wheelchair almost impossible.

Hotel Haya is a superb boutique little gem hidden among the Mega-giganto complex of Florida hotels. We particularly loved the styling and artwork throughout the hotel. (Viva "Ignacio", the local lobby rooster!) My husband and I met my brother and his wife for a family get-together and the Haya was such an excellent choice: lovely Cubano-style center courtyard and pool area, delicious Fino restaurant with excellent service (from Ms. Bri ;-)), and the local community cafe attached serves a sweet Cubano-oriented breakfast (complimentary coffee for guests). A great feature is that you can easily hop on the free trolley car to get into the Tampa Riverwalk area and aquarium. If you're a runner like me, you'll love explore-running through Ybor City and learning about the cigar factory and immigrant history. (I had no idea Jose Marti (the famous poet) launched the independence of Cuba from Spain here!) Also, I want to come back for the private dining room experience, where you apparently can get a Suckling Pig Feast for your fam and friends. Yes, please. Net net: My husband and I travel extensively throughout the world (90% of 2022). If you want a quiet, stylish, hip hotel in Tampa area -- this is it. In fact, I'd give it close to a Relais & Chateaux rating...except the concierges that I consulted with on getting into a local cigar factory tour were not quite up to speed on the situation to help us. (There's only one factory remaining [JC Newman] that offers a tour of the total 200 cigar factories that existed in Ybor City. Spaces fill up fast!) I

The location was perfect as it is right there at the start of everything on 7th and 8th street. Great for a romantic weekend away. We enjoyed some breakfast sitting in one of the many places you can relax on a couch in a casual dinning area. this place has something for everyone. The pool looked great however we did not use it, we will save that for our next trip. Room was clean and the fridge was stocked :)

I was pleasantly surprised about the location which is in a old very historical part of Tampa, Ibor City. Has various shops, bars/gay and straight, arts/crafts, very clean. Early mornings city employees are cleaning. The food at the hotel restaurant is very good. One has to have a reservation! Breakfast is ok. It has a small coffee shop, sells pastries, breakfast sandwiches. Coffee is free for hotel guest. A block away one can catch the train trolly

I would liked for a more formal breakfast cafe but what is available is ok.

My daughter and friend were attending a concert at a venue that was one block away so the location was excellent for our trip. Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

It was a little pricey but the location was perfect for our trip. There is no on site parking but they do offer valet parking and there was a parking lot across the street where you can pay at a kiosk or through an online app. There were always spaces available.

The atmosphere was beautiful. There are not enough words to describe and express how incredibly amazing the staff is.

That there's no vent fan in the bathroom; that there's only a half of a shower door and the water goes all over the bathroom floor; that there isn't ability to open the window I the room if it doesn't have a balcony; that there's too many trees in the back where the pool is and there isn't enough sunlight hitting the water.

I travel often and prefer high end experiences, Hotel Haya checks all the boxes. The staff are extremely nice and helpful, the rooms are clean with comfortable beds and pillows, the Lobby bar and cafe make incredible food and drinks, the location is walking distance to a great nightlife scene. Felt like I was at an exotic resort, think White Lotus.

It was not an issue for myself or the people I was with but Ybor can get loud at night on weekends and you can hear it from the room. I was there to go out, so this was not an issue.

Wonderful location

In the upgrades to the historic building a completely neglected any sound dampening. Sound in the hall and sound between rooms was unreasonable. Other little financial surprises popped up too. Yes it says there's parking but it's paid parking or you have to engage with a $35 valet fee. Yes, there's breakfast but it's at a coffee shop inside the hotel where there's free black coffee but that's it. Yes, there's a hotel bar but a single mixed drink was $17.

The location was exceptional for exploring Historic Ybor. I would definitely stay there again. The coffee shop in the building served beautiful croissants and great coffee plus more savoury items, served by a very friendly staff. Overall, this is a great place to stay for a visit or when connecting to a cruise.

Liked it all.

The coffee place is nice, but there is not a lot of options. It would have been great to add more options to the menu to have bigger breakfast to start a day.

The only thing I did not like what that there was no cold water in my room. I wanted to drink water and had to drink warm or hot water only. There were no bottles available in my room either. Other than that, everything was outstanding!
