El Mesón del Alférez Xalapa

It’s a great location. There’s some traffic noise but I don’t mind that - my guess is all the zona centro hotels will have that.

I had to keep extending my stay and they were more than accommodating. The only strange thing is the street side windows are like a window inside a window and the none street window open up to the rest of the guests. I like fresh air when I sleep - honestly I’m just trying to find things I didn’t like but it’s wasn’t a big deal at all.

I have a medical condition and when I first checked in I thought I would have to leave because the room had stairs and the street felt steep for me to walk up. The front desk man went over and above to find us a room that allowed me to sleep on the lower level and my daughter in the loft. I also paid for parking next door so I could just walk up a ramp and honestly it was absolutely a wonderful stay. It is noisy; however, if you close the shutter it isn’t too bad and we got used to it. It’s only because the police blow whistles here to direct traffic during peak hours. If you’re noise sensitive- buy some earplugs or do what I did and leave the bathroom fan on for white noise.

Perfect location and great ambience. Laundry service was quick and efficient.

Clean and great location for walking in the city center. It felt rustic with an antique feel that was really unique. Parking is very difficult and the room doors don’t seem very secure.

Good

Excellent location with a wonderful restaurant downstairs.

Beautifully restored Hacienda, the breakfast was exceptional

It is a great hotel in an old downtown building, it is 3 minutes from Xalapa's Downtown and there are a lot of restaurants and stuff to see around. The Restaurant and the rooms are great quality and really cosy It is in a high hill, so for old people could be difficult to arrive. But that is the location constrain, nothing to do with the hotel.

Location style and clean Restaurant toook a long time to get the food ready to many cookers no team work to serve food on time

It was very inexpensive, and the room was cozy and charming. I also liked that it was very close to the marathon starting line, where I needed to go in the morning. There really isn't anything I disliked. I suppose it would have been nice if the room had included a small refrigerator and a microwave oven.

Great location The room didn’t have a lot of light

Old colonial style building in the heart of Xalapa. All rooms have different names and the explication on the room’s door. Safe free parking (24/7) nearby. It can get noisy due to the location in the city center.

Location, old fashioned ambience, quietness, hot water, coffee filter and coffee, Sunday lunch Uncomfortable bed, antique bathroom, lack of kettle, thinness of blanket

Location, room, bed, bedding, clean. The safe did not work and they have no place for your items at the reception. Service at the restaurant took 30 minutes for scrambled eggs.

The included continental breakfast was excellent and could be supplemented at cost with complete menu. The location was central, close to shops and many restaurants. The hotel is located next to an all night disco terrace; the extremely loud music on weekends goes on until 3:00 am. Bring earplugs. Music still can be heard other nights of the week. The restaurant closes at 4:30 pm. The rooms only face a small courtyard, a light well really. Finishes are ancient but have character.

Style, Mantainance and food service None

Charming hotel with exceptional location by main zocalo plaza. Access to great breakfast restaurant with delicious typical dishes. Eventhou the hotel is in the middle of the crowded and noisy, the room as quiet and secluded. The room was dark, typical for a traditional old town construction. The bed/pillows could be better. The location was great for closeness to main attractions, but the entrance street was extremely busy and caotic.

Great location, fantastic building, great breakfast and friendly staff let us check in early when my partner was I'll. None

Great location in centre of town and a nice historic building with pleasant public areas. Plenty of hot water and good WIFI. Pretty good value for money overall Room was fairly basic with old (quaint?) furniture. Locking the door was tricky, a bit like locking up the door to a castle to be honest. A very basic locking system with various latches and bolts and when the door was finally locked there were pretty large gaps around the frame enabling you to look out into the courtyard (and presumably the other way round too!). Not ideal really. The included basic continental breakfast was just about ok however serving a croissant that was buttered in the middle then microwaved to death is never going to be very enjoyable. To be honest for what I needed (a bed for the night) the hotel was OK but wouldn't have wanted to stay for longer.
