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!

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 food and services at Flor Fina, located on the ground floor of the hotel, is excellent. We ended up having both dinner and breakfast there. Staff at the front desk staff and valet were all friendly and very helpful. The hotel provided a nice surprise for our anniversary: a bottle of champagne with dessert. We were on the fourth floor facing the courtyard. It was very quiet. Bed is comfortable. Room is clean.

This was my second stay, and I had another great experience. The rooms are great, the pool is great, the restaurant has good food, and the coffee shop is also...great. I recommend this place if you are in Tampa for business (I stay here even though its not close to my work engagements) or if you are in Tampa for vacation.

Location to Pride festivities was on point. Loved the fact they allowed a per check-in, early valet parking and held our bags until actual check in time. Our room was clean and Loved the special touch of our name on the T.V Screen.
