For 650pesos we were were expecting something better as this is a lot for a hotel in Mexico. I've read other reviews here and can only think our room was one of the worst! Parking is extra at the hotel although massively discounted. Our room was VERY noisey and i'm NOT talking noise from the square. There was no exterior... more

Veracruz is all about history, music, heat, humidity, and noise. We stayed at the Colonial and got one of the rooms with a balcony overlooking the Plaza de Armas. From our balcony we could see the ancient cathedral, and the famous zocolo was directly below. Every night a thunderstorm cleaned the streets, and the mornings greeted us with the sound... more

Stayed at the Colonial for a week while visitin Veracruz. This hotel is an excellent price for what you get. I was really impressed at the character of this hotel. Granted, it's a bit older but the condition is great and overall pretty spacious. Location: Centrally located in Veracruz on the Zocalo. Here you will find restaurants, bars, an old... more

This hotel was booked by Pronatura Veracruz as part of an excellent birdwatching trip. I stayed here on my last night before an early morning flight. The best thing about the hotel is the location, on the zócalo which has a wonderfully festive nightlife scene. The crowded sidewalk restaurants recall the night scene in plazas in Madrid. Lots of jarocho... more

This hotel is located at the main plaza of Veracruz. The whole building looks like a reminder of the 80s and the room we had was very small, without any flair and very noisy due to the loud air-co. I cannot recommend this hotel. more

Stayed in room 444 in the new section. Cost me $70 for my wife and I. It was Christmas time. Room was nice and comfy and quiet as it was away from the zocalo noise. Location cannot be beat as it was right on the main square and had a great terrace to hang out and look down at the... more

This is a really neat hotel. Not exactly for the budget traveler is it was US$40, but I like it and thought it was a good value. I stayed in the older section of the hotel, but my room still had central air (which they control... it's either on or off at their whim for the whole hotel). Cable TV.... more

Fabulous hotel right on top of the zocalo in the middle of the bares portales. It doesn't get any better than that! Super-friendly staff who are very helpful. Large rooms - very clean. I stayed in the "new" section because I didn't want to be bothered by the zocalo noise and it was very peaceful. Very nice roof patio that... more

If you are going to Veracruz, MX stay here. The new (nuevo) section is spotlessly clean, has a good view of the city and the hotel innkeepers where the best honest workers I've seen anywhere. Totally helpful even if the night guys speaks zero english. This is a great mexican run hotel. I stayed in the 'old' section (no a/c)... more
