Expert reviews:

Frommer's

"While I find the staff dressed in mock monk garb a little bit cheesy... this is still a lovely little hotel located in the heart of La Habana Vieja." Full review

Lonely Planet

"There's nothing austere about Los Frailes (the friars), despite the monastic theme (the staff wears hooded robes) inspired by the nearby San Francisco de Asís convent." Full review

Star Service

"Habana Vieja's most popular themed property, this boutique-hotel attracts crowds all day long." Full review

Rough Guide

"Unique in character, this moody little place is themed on a monastery, with staff dressed as monks."

Oyster

Mid-Range

"As a former monastery, the three-pearl Hotel Los Frailes offers plenty of history and a healthy dose of religious-themed kitsch, right down to staff members dressed as friars." Full review
