For the price this is a very good option to be in the center of Xalapa. Our room was small but we only needed to crash for a night. The coffee in the room was excellent the shower was very good and walking out there were many excellent options for breakfast.

El mejor hotel de la cadena Del Prado. Gran relación calidad/costo. Reservamos una segunda noche en la terraza del alférez pero el mesón nos gustó mucho más.

Fue un viaje familiar, las habitaciones cómodas, mi papá con discapacidad de movilidad y la habitación le funcionó muy bien. Solo tuve que pedir un banquito para que se pudiera bañar. Sería bueno tener la opción de un banco para esos fines, o un adulto mayor que deba bañarse sentado, los pisos son muy resbalosos. De ahí, la camarista muy amable, César de recepción igual. El demás personal de recepción no saludan siempre están en sus celulares.

Es una construcción del siglo XIX, bonita y bien conservada. Esta situada a una calle del centro, lo cual a veces la hace un poco ruidosa, al menos en la primera habitación que fue la que me tocó. La comida en el restaurante es muy buena y el personal muy amable

Todo muy bien y agradecemos su amabilidad y atenciones las 24hrs! Lo único que podemos sugerir es que revisen o cambien las puertas ya que tiene pequeñas aberturas y se escucha mucho ruido en los pasillos.
