    Xalapa is extremely hilly and the hotel’s street is typical of that.

    It is a quiet property that has beautifully maintained patios and many outdoor seats to enjoy them! They offer all the services you need: breakfast, water for refilling your bottles, laundry service, etc. There is lots of hot water and water pressure. Everyone is very polite, even other guests.

    The receptionist was helpful when pushed to be, but not friendly. We were asked to sign to say we would pay for any damage we caused, which is fine, but when we asked they check the room before we left to ensure there was no damage and subsequently return the form to us the receptionist wouldn’t, giving various strange reasons.

    It is a lovely old style property. The gardens were lovely, and it was very peaceful when we were there. The breakfast was good and the service by the lady there was friendly. It is a bit more expensive than going out, but you have the blessing of having it right there.

    The breakfast was ok, but nothing special.

    Parking lot in front of the hotel, my room was comfortable, clear, everything worked well, in a good location near downtown and other attractions. They have water containers to fill your drinking bottles.

    Internet connections on second floor where our room was were non existent. Bed was a bit hard for my taste. Street is very narrow and beware of one way streets in this hilly town if driving.

    This hotel on a very quiet little side street is spotless and features a beautiful inner garden and upstairs patio for hanging out. Conveniently located. Good value. Coffee pot with free coffee in our room each morning. Separate little restaurant for breakfast downstairs. Nice hot shower, tiled bathroom with toilet is eparate from tiled shower.

    The pillows and bed were not the most comfortable. The thin curtains let in a lot of light at night.

    Charming quiet colonial hotel. Well located and serving an excellent breakfast. Self serve drinking water is a very nice bonus.

    I requested a room downstairs, but even so I stayed 5 nights I got a room near the reception and restaurant. There was always noise between 7am-10 pm. It's a big place, so get a room away from the noise.

    The Posada is on a quiet street but minutes from the center. They have a nice garden. The room had everything needed. The safe was nice to have. Plenty of sights and restaurants. Along the Juarez Garden there's the local museum presenting the monastery which used to be there before. The Diego Rivera Pinotheka has paintings, but Riveras pictures are in Orizaba. Extra time --walk along Calle Illustre. There are several places with paintings by University Veracruz .The cultural center has changing exhibits and Mercado Garcia's next to the big church up the hill are all worthwhile. The highlight of course is the museum of Anthropology.- a must

    Everything was great - couldn't expect more.

    The hotel rooms and grounds are beautiful in the *old* Mexico style. Our room was super comfortable and immaculately clean. Beds were comfy. We had a suite with a private patio which was great for morning breakfasts. The breakfast was always excellent and happily delivered to our little patio. The bacon was cooked perfectly as well as the Veracruzana eggs. We have stayed at the Posada de Cafeto five times over the years -- never disappoints

    Central location and beautiful building. The Posada del Cafeto is mentioned in "Corazón de Metal" by Gabriel Garcîa Márquez, so the literary connection is sort of cool.

    There is only one small window in the room, and if you open it - everyone who walks in the garden can see you. Also, the bed was extremely small. Finally, the WIFI is not stable.

    The location is really great, and the garden is very nice! The staff were friendly, although they mostly don't speak English. The room was clean.

    the little things made the difference. Secured parking was 4 metres from the front door, the front desk staff person helped carry our bags to the room. The centro is very crowded and noisy but this location, 500 metres from centro was quiet. The rooms had coffee and a coffee maker, glasses for water and the property was maintained to an unusually high standard for the price charged. Breakfast is available onsite.
