We had great difficulty finding this place (driving into town without directions), but were so glad when we did. The hotel had secured parking available for us. We had a choice of rooms... the more expensive room was bigger and quieter, for about US$55. The cheaper room (about US$33) was smaller and noisy (noisy only at peak traffic times), but we were aware of this when we chose it. Even still, the room was super clean, and though small, managed to have all of the conveniences of the larger rooms, tucked away in corners. The hotel has managed to maintain the "old" feel of the building while still keeping it clean and functional. The price of the room included breakfast in the downstairs restaurant which was excellent (continental or yogurt, or you could order something else and pay the difference) and had tasty coffee. Finally, the hotel's location is very central, only one block from the zocalo. You can't beat the value! I strongly recommend this hotel for those visiting Xalapa on a budget.

This little hillside inn is a former colonial mansion, authentically restored and located a block below the main plaza in the historic center of Xalapa. While the rooms are modest and somewhat sparely furnished, the prices are reasonable and staff is friendly and accommodating.
An additional advantage is the restaurant located on the lower floor, which serves excellent breakfasts and lunches.
Some limited parking.

The only downside is the traffic noise.
