"This is one of the most highly touted hotels of the Habaguanex chain, and it is a lovely little hotel, wonderfully located on the eastern end of the Plaza de Armas." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Considered one of Havana's finest hotels, as well as one of its oldest... the Hotel Santa Isabel is housed in the Palacio de los Condes de Santovenia, the former crash pad of a decadent Spanish count." Full review

"This place doesn't look like much from the outside and things don't get significantly better inside." Full review
Lonely Planet
"A long-term fixture on the Malecón, this former Mafia gambling den doesn't quite match up to the stellar views." Full review
Rough Guide
"Plain, seafront, high-rise hotel with the brightest and best-appointed rooms among the relatively modest selection in Centro Habana, many with fantastic views of the Malecón, Habana Vieja and Vedado."
Fodor's
"Such a good deal that the clientele is usually an interesting collection of students, professors, and the occasional writer. What's more, the disco is one of the city's hottest."
Oyster
Budget
"The lower-middle-range Hotel Deauville is an iconic Art Deco landmark with a colorful mob history and an incredible address -- right on the Malecon, overlooking Havana Bay." Full review
