It is a historical Hotel in front of Zocalo, food is good, it is clean but can be busy during the weekend.
The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location was great—one of the best places to stay in Veracruz! I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel.
It is a good hotel, good location depending what is your interest. Need some upgrades: my room was noisy for the A/C MOTOR in top or aside of my room . In general was good choice.
We arrived too early for check in so we asked that our luggage be held until we returned. After checking in we showed our claim stub and were told that a maintenance person would retrieve our luggage. We waited about 20 minutes, but our belongings were not brought . We waited some more, and eventually a lady from the front desk brought out our things. When we entered our room we were impressed with its spaciousness. The private bedroom was huge, with a separate bath, large jetted tub, and a nice parlor. However, the furniture was not all serviceable, with loose drawers, and some coming apart. The jetted tub fixtures needed replacement and the lights in the parlor area kept on turning off and on. When we checked out we wanted to leave our luggage kept until it was time to catch a bus for our next trip. This time, the front desk person directed us to a concierge station where we were promptly helped and our luggage was later retrieved without delay and the concierge helped us get a taxi to the bus station.

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.
Towels weren’t exactly white but location and service were excellent!

Good hotel. GREAT Location except for the music out front. But it didnt bother me much. Room had a lot of space. But, if you have respiratory issues shud reconsider. Our room had mold. But as experiences go. I was comfortable. Thanks Gran hotel Diligencias:)
Pros:
Clean, with nice old-style furniture in good condition.
Excellent location if you are okay with not staying near the beach.
Tons of restaurants (check reviews before going), live music, handicraft stores, the famous Güero Güera ice cream shops, La Parroquia restaurants, local shoe stores, and more.
Gentle and helpful staff, although some do not speak English.
Close to the Malecón, tourist two-story open bus rides, the Marines Museum, and many historical buildings.
Cons:
Outdoor live music can be annoying late at night.
If you need a safe, make sure you request a room with a working one, and double-check that it is securely attached to the wall when you arrive.
Far from the nicest beaches.
The staff was friendly and helpful, especially at the end of our 3-night stay by arranging our early morning taxi to the airport. The room was clean and large with a table and two chairs, and a king-sized bed. The hotel is right on the main square (el zocalo) so we could go out and hear live music and see dances.
Unfortunately, as with many old buildings, there was an awful smell of the sewer emanating from the bathroom. It seemed to be strongest in the morning. But, short of knocking the beautiful hotel down and rebuilding, there is probably very little that be done to improve the smell.

The hotel is outdated especially the restroom, the tub is peeling and has mold stains. It was kind of dangerous for my 75 year old mom, very hard to get in and out of the bathtub. We did love the location and the staff was very friendly!
The rooms were big and clean. The building is old and feels like the right choice for authenticity and super location. The massage with Carmen was fantastic! It was lively and noisy on the zocalo on a Monday night until 10. Then I had a perfect sleep. I will return.
