Frommer's "Sitting on a high bluff overlooking the Malecón, this is Havana's signature hotel, and it's loaded with atmosphere." Full review

The overpriced, tasteless dinner option at the hotel cabaret is best avoided.
Rough Guide "One of Havana’s best-looking hotels, with the air of an Arabian palace."
Fodor's "Memorabilia of such famous (and infamous) guests as Winston Churchill, Ava Gardner, Frank Sinatra, and Meyer Lansky, the Nacional still buzzes... though rooms are disappointing." Full review

"The common spaces, including the lobby and the ocean-view gardens, are gorgeous, and the food impresses. Rooms are charmingly traditional." Full review

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
