Thumbs up

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

Once the most luxurious hotel in Veracruz.

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.

Location, Location, Location!

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.
Historical Church in the square.
Excellent restaurant at local Prices!!
