This hotel overlooks the Zocalo and if you open your balcony doors there's sea breeze and the gentle sound of carribean-style music groups performing in the square below. Rooms are dated, but passable. Customer service was okay. Good walking distance to anything downtown - but not to beaches.

We stayed here b/c our usual hotel was not available, and now I know Emporio is by far the best in town. Diligencias is amazingly beautiful and located across the Zocalo (main square in town) so there's not beating that! but all the luxury one sees in the common areas are not translated onto the rooms, the one we stayed...

We are staying here now. The room we have is on the second floor overlooking the plaza. The AC works well, and every thing in the room is clean and well maintained. Free WIFI. A bargain for 1,100 pesos ( £55 ) per night for a standard double room. Valet car parking at the back of the hotel.

The staff was very helpful from beginning to end so it was a very pleasant experience. Overlooking the Plaza is an added benefit. And then you must visit the Gran Café of the Parróquia overlooking the Boardwalk just a few blocks away.

Located on the central square of the historical center of Veracruz, this hotel is clean, the staff is friendly and the price is reasonable. Though, you can see the hotel is aging a little bit, it is still a nice place to stay.

My wife and I stayed here for two weeks over christmas and it was a wonderful adventure in the heart of the historic section of Veracruz, across from the main plaza. Every night there was something amazing going on in the main plaza, lots of great food nearby and very helpful staff. The bar is excellent and the restaurant /room... More

Stayed one night and found the hotel to be good value, clean, quiet and friendly. They gave me a room overlooking the square, free WiFi which worked well and the service was good. Nice breakfast buffet which was the only meal I had, as there are loads of restaurants across the road. Could not dial local calls from the room,... More

I have had a fair bit of experience at hotels, and have come to expect at least one of some usual suspects to be a considerable detraction to the enjoyment of my stay. The most common one in Mexico is beds so firm I'd call them hard. This is not the case with the Gran Hotel Diligencias. I found that... More

This hotel is newly renovated and located right smack in the heart of the city. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to experience the flavor of the city as opposed to the beach. Service was great and room was huge and super clean. The deal I got online of $69 per night was amazing. Worth WAY more.

stayed 2 nights and was impressed with the location, the quality of the rooms and the included services. The free internet has perfect signal, and also the free valet parking worked great and is an added benefit. The breakfast buffet for about 120 Pesos is good value for money and was also quite good.
