"Great location! I could highly recommend this hotel since it's walking distance to dozens of restaurants, bars, shops and attractions. The front desk night staff is extremely helpful/friendly. We were there during the world cup and were able to see all the "watch-parties" from the balcony in our room. The nightlife is rocking so there is some noise but we didn't go on vacation to sleep, we went to explore and enjoy Veracruz."

Top Zócalo Hotel Reviews

Veracruz Centro Histórico

8/10 Good

"In some rooms the air conditioning is not working, only on elevator was working during my stay (3 days ). Staff is professional and welcoming. Food is good but the breakfast buffet at the hotel was only during weekends."

Gran Hotel Diligencias

8/10 Good

"I love staying here. We've had mostly great experiences. Rooms are always clean. Water is hot. Staff is mostly good to work with - front desk. They aren't automated so changes to room assignments are difficult for them. I prefer the 3rd floor for internet and it seems to be an updated area. 5th floor there is an awful, very loud buzz. I'm sure it is from the building air conditioner. We couldn't be move until the next day. You kind of have to think of it as a type of white noise. Internet worked decent on the 5th floor."

Hotel Meson del Mar

8/10 Good

"It was a very old hotel , well maintained. The lady at the desk was a Peach ! She helped us with everything."

"10/10 location, steps away from the popular La Parroquia cafeteria. Across from the waterfront and Malcon de Veracruz. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Hotel does not have a restaurant, but with many restaurants and food options within walking distance. Tour bus stops across the street. Pricing is very affordable as compared to other hotels in the area. Would definitely book another stay."
