Frommer's
"Built in 1836 and turned into a hotel in 1885, the Florida is stately and elegant, but be aware that a couple of the rooms don't have any windows." Full review
Lonely Planet
"They don't make them like this anymore. The Florida is an architectural extravaganza built in the purest colonial style, with arches and pillars clustered around an atmospheric central courtyard." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Housed in a stately 19th-century mansion, Hotel Florida is one of Havana's best bargains."
Rough Guide
"There’s a perfect blend of modern luxury and colonial elegance with marble floors, iron chandeliers, birds singing in the airy stone-columned central patio and potted plants throughout."
Fodor's

Lonely Planet
"Slap-bang in the middle of the historic core, and one of the cheapest offerings in the Habaguanex stable, this hotel is an excellent old-world choice, with good service and plenty of atmosphere." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Located in the heart of Habana Vieja, Hostal Valencia has no frills but is in a great location just steps from Plaza San Francisco."
Rough Guide
"Plain but pleasant rooms in a beautiful building that feels more like a large country house than a small city hotel."
Fodor's
"The on-site restaurant is known (and named) for its paella. Open-designe rooms are a good idea, but the furnishings here are dated and drab." Full review
