"Sitting on a high bluff overlooking the Malecón, this is Havana's signature hotel, and it's loaded with atmosphere."

"Billed as the country's flagship hotel, the Nacional is a stand-out in more ways than one."

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."

"The common spaces, including the lobby and the ocean-view gardens, are gorgeous, and the food impresses. Rooms are charmingly traditional."

"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."

"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."

"Habana Vieja's most popular themed property, this boutique-hotel attracts crowds all day long."

"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."
