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."

"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."

Avoid rooms with inside views in favor of the 27-odd units with a view of Plaza de Armas.
