 Hostal Los Frailes by Havaname
The house has rooms with exclusive ambiance: a lobby-bar that is decorated with pieces of art, stained-glass windows, statues of monks made out of copper and altarpieces, and a quiet inner courtyard with a beautiful fountain and an old well. This special hotel, thanks to its mystery and intimacy, is the ideal place for contemplation and meditation and takes us in an imaginary trip to a medieval abbey.

On the narrow alleys of Old Havana, the Los Frailes Inn stands just a few steps away from the majestic convent of Saint Francis of Assisi and the populous Old Square. The former mansion of the fourth Marquis and Captain of the French Navy, Don Pedro Claudio Duquesne, once visited by the finest nobility, ecclesiastical dignitaries, military authorities, renowned artists, the best of Cuban and foreign society, has become today the perfect place to enjoy the voice of silence and meditation in the pleasant afternoons of the old city. Right at the entrance, a copper sculpture of a monk welcomes visitors, inviting them to an imaginary trip to a medieval abbey. Its lobby bar, comfortable rooms - only the 4 mini-suites have balconies - and quiet courtyard, decorated with outstanding works of art, its enigmatic and intimate atmosphere combined with the suggestive sound of a water fountain, invite you to contemplation and meditation in this exclusive inn. Nearby places of interest: Saint Francis of Assisi Square, Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, Museum of Religious Art, Museum of Rum, Cafe Taberna "Benny Moré", Mesón de la Flota Restaurant, Plaza Vieja (Old Square), Santo Angel Restaurant, House of Alexander V.

| Hotel de Los Frailes: Nice in Old Havana
| |
|
|

Old monestary converted into a hotel. Very beautiful inside and out. One block from Plaza de San Francisco where you can get a taxi to just about anywhere. Good location.
If you take a taxi from the airport, the driver may not know how to get to the hotel because it is on a pedestrian street. Tell him to drop you off at Plaza de San Francisco. You can walk the one block to the hotel.
Most of the staff are very pleasant but, like anywhere, some can be "indifferent". One of the staff, Rene, became our tour guide for one day, however, he had his agenda and we had ours. If you can read a map, you don't need a tour guide. Just tell the taxi where you want to go and he'll take you there. That's about all Rene did was ask me where I wanted to go and then he'd relay it to the cab driver.
The hotel rooms do not have any windows. It was kind of strange since you'd almost forget what time of day it was. The remodeling was exquisite however, like everything in Cuba, the duality presented itself in the fact that while the floors were brand new, the matresses felt like they were from the 1950's.
The staff are on call 24 hours a day, so if you want a drink at the bar at 4:00am, someone will get you one.
The only problems were that we did not have a key to the room safe (which I guess we could have ask for one) and we got charged for a phone call we did not make (only one US dollar).
I'd stay there again easily without any second thoughts. And it only cost us $50 US per night.

Few meters of the Convent of San Francisco de As?s and of the Old Square, U?ll find the Los Failes Inn . What was the marquis Pedro Claudio Duquesne's mansion at the beginning of the XVIII century, Captain of Ship of the French Armada, visited by the most select nobility in the time, ecclesiastical dignities, military authorities and artists of prestige, it is today a commendable place for the delight of the silence and the reflection in the pleasant afternoons of the ancient city.
Enigmatic and intimate, given to the view and the meditation, this special place transfers us, imaginarily, to an abbey of the Middle Ages. All the workers are dressed like middle-ages monks and the service is good.
