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."
OysterMid-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

Lonely Planet "Meyer Lansky's magnificent Vegas-style palace has leapt back into fashion with its gloriously retro lobby almost unchanged since 1957 (when it was the height of modernity)." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A famous 1950s high-rise Hotel Habana Riviera overlooks the waterfront boulevard."
Rough Guide "Built by the mafia in the 1950s as a casino hotel, the Riviera retains much of that era’s style."
Fodor's "Although it's large, impersonal, and inefficient, the Riviera is home to El Palacio de la Salsa, one of Havana's best music venues." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The lobby, with its sharp modernist lines and Vegas-style ostentation, looks like a set from The Godfather: Part II, while the rooms are less striking." Full review
