Frommer's "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
DK Eyewitness "The glamorous colonial-themed Hotel Santa Isabel has tradition and elegance combined with stylish 19th-century furnishings and a inviting marble-floored lobby lounge."
Rough Guide "One of the most exclusive of Habana Vieja’s hotels, this impressively restored eighteenth-century building features colonial-style furnishings in all the rooms and a fountain in the idyllic arched courtyard."
Fodor's "Best views here are to be had in rooms and junior sweets that overlook the popular Plaza de Armas, with its many booksellers, artists, and restaurants." Full review

Lonely Planet "Situated next door to the Hostal Valencia, the El Comendador offers equally exquisite colonial digs for the same rates." Full review
Star Service "This centrally located hotel is situated between the San Francisco de Asis Monastery and the Plaza Vieja, but the theme of the property takes guests to the Valencia region of Spain." Full review
Rough Guide "Countrified feel, with stone floors, ferns lining the wooden-railed balconies and an attractive little garden out the back."
Fodor's "An intimate hotel overlooking Havana's harbor. Rooms are tastefully restored and have the full complement of modern amenities, such as the next door Bodegón Onda tapas bar." Full review
