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
