Frommer's "Sitting on a high bluff overlooking the Malecón, this is Havana's signature hotel, and it's loaded with atmosphere." Full review
Star Service "Billed as the country's flagship hotel, the Nacional is a stand-out in more ways than one." 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

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
