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 "One of the top choices in Habana Vieja. Its simple room design, lovely architecture, and quality fixtures give it an edge over many of the district hotel picks." Full review

Frommer's "While I find the staff dressed in mock monk garb a little bit cheesy... this is still a lovely little hotel located in the heart of La Habana Vieja." Full review
Lonely Planet "There's nothing austere about Los Frailes (the friars), despite the monastic theme (the staff wears hooded robes) inspired by the nearby San Francisco de Asís convent." Full review
Star Service "Habana Vieja's most popular themed property, this boutique-hotel attracts crowds all day long." Full review
Rough Guide "Unique in character, this moody little place is themed on a monastery, with staff dressed as monks."
OysterMid-Range
"As a former monastery, the three-pearl Hotel Los Frailes offers plenty of history and a healthy dose of religious-themed kitsch, right down to staff members dressed as friars." Full review
