"Cheap but not always so cheerful... Rooms are a tad dark and pokey. Bargain-basement seekers only." Full review
Rough Guide
"The cheapest hotel in Habana Vieja is an uninspiring affair, with pokey rooms, many of which have no windows and very basic facilities."
Fodor'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."

"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
