A wonderful old hotel. Very dated and needs some fresh carpet and furniture, but the room is enormous and the view is beyond compare. The bed is very comfortable. You get a wonderful breeze with all the windows. We love the housekeeper- she is so friendly and helpful

This is a glorious old hotel that is a bit run down, but was likely the most luxurious thing in Veracruz back in the day. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable, the staff is wonderful. It has a million dollar view of the harbor and the main square from your giant windows. You can hear music all around. It just needs some work, the carpet are run down, chairs looking very used, etc. I would come back.

The Hotel smelled very clean. I had a nice view of the plaza and church near by. One has to walk 1 to 2 blocks from the hotel to get a cab or public trans. The staff was very efficient, quick check in and out. Overall very nice.

May be long time ago was very elegant, actually the entrance/lobby it’s very nice.
But the rest of the hotel looks very old and deteriorated.
Very sad to see how can they let go something so nice and elegant into something so ugly.

It once was elegant but now need to upgrade! Friendly staff. Excellent location, in front of the Cacólos, where there are several restaurants and a historic or Church. Must eat at Gran Café Portals! The make in is a short walking distance. (The location is what makes it worth the money)
Parking located across the street, safe and secure.
Gym small, no a/c, most of what little equipment they had was broken.
No service at poolside.

The hotel needs updating; some parts are lovely, others need revamping. Our room itself was lovely. On three sides of the hotel, the streets were under massive construction so it was very noisy and at times unsafe: open manholes nearby difficult to manuever around at times. That would have been helpful to know ahead of time. Housekeeping staff were lovely & helpful.

Very old colonial hotel that smells terrible, probably due in large part to all the construction. Breakfast is a buffet and not included in room. The area around the hotel is fantastic for convenience (dining/shopping), but if I ever return to Veracruz, I would never stay here again. Bed is not comfortable, sheets not soft, but at least there was a working air conditioner in room. Service was very good as staff were helpful.
