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

"The vibe is regal, bordering on stuffy, but the sophistication is understated and inviting. Common amenities are limited to a beautiful patio bar and gourmet alfresco restaurant." Full review

Frommer's "Although a block removed from the Prado, this is a much better bet than its nearby sister, the Hotel Caribbean." Full review
Lonely Planet "The lackluster Lido is Havana's unofficial backpacker nexus. It has been popular for years for its central location and no-frills rooms with intermittent hot water and a gritty neighborhood feel."
Rough Guide "Located on a run-down street in a lively local neighbourhood, the rooms here are dark and have rickety furniture, but are inexpensive for a hotel so close to Habana Vieja."
