Romantic yet affordable hotel in Havanna?

I plan to fly to Cuba this year,
and to get a visa, we need to book a hotel for 4 days.

We stayed at the Parque Central, which was nice and affordable. Maybe something like the Hotel Nacional would be more romantic though.

We stayed at the Hotel Inglaterra, which is perfectly located in Old Havana directly across from the Parque Central. It is one of the oldest hotels in the city, and a National Monument. The facade, lobby and restaurant are beautiful and there is a bar on the top floor with a great view of the park and the city.

The Hotel Nacional is wonderful (do go there to look around and have a cocktail on the terrace at sundown), but is not as centrally located nor as affordable as the Inglaterra.
