What guests think
At Meson del Alferez Xalapa, travelers highlight a charming colonial setting, central walkable location, friendly staff, and generally clean, comfortable rooms, with many also praising the on site restaurant and breakfasts for quality and value.
Some guests report late-night street and bar noise, occasional cockroaches or bugs, tricky parking and directions, and older doors or layouts that affect accessibility, privacy, and quiet. There are occasional service inconsistencies, including slow check-in or disputed charges. Expect character and convenience with a few trade-offs typical of a historic property.

Ein toller Ort, der viel Geschichte hat. So sind die Zimmer im alten Stil des Hauses gehalten, was dem Hotel auch seinen Charme gibt. Super Lage, mitten im historischen Zentrum. Der Parkplatz in der Garage ist Gold wert. Das Personal ist extrem nett und sehr hilfreich. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt.

El hotel está muy bien ubicado en el centro histórico muy cerca de restaurantes, farmacia, bares, cafés, el parque Juarez y la Catedral Metropolitana. El staff es super amable y servicial. Las habitaciones son muy bonitas, considerando que es un hotel de tipo colonial. El patio interno es muy bonito y el desayuno ofrece una carta muy amplia con opciones variadas y muy ricas. Definitivamente me volvería a hospedar en este hotel.

This hotel's main selling point is the location in downtown, at the same time could be a con due to the traffic congestion. They really need to work on two things, the parking should be included valet or escorting you to find the garage around the corner. Front desk will keep telling you directions but the entrance is not marked. We wasted almost half hour trying to follow those stupid directions going around those blocks in that traffic. Also, the room doors are so old/historical that the locks do not always work. We went to bed only to realize in the morning the door was unlocked. Meaning that the lock did not properly latch all the way. They should put modern locks or some other way to ensure privacy/safety. Imagine a woman traveling alone, could not be completely safe.

Es un hotel sencillo, aparentemente todo se ve muy limpio, pero les urge tener un buen sistema de fumigación, por suerte solo estuvimos 1 noche, no pude pegar el ojo obvio ni descansar, ya que había cucarachas, llegamoss a dormir despues de una boda a las 3:30am, matamos como 5 y seguían saliendo, entonces fue una pésima noche, nos metimos a bañar a las 7am y salimos de ahí. En la parte de abajo esta el restaurante del hotel que huele muy rico, pero si aparecen las cucarachas en las habitaciones, me imagino como estarán las cucarachas en la cocina, nos come tó el joven de la recepción que tenía poco que otra clienta se había quejado de lo mismo y tenía poco que habían fumigado, entonces necesitan cambiar a la empresa de fumigadores y hacerlo más seguido.

Rooms
Colonial style rooms are generally comfortable, though some are small. Noise from streets or nearby venues, older doors and locks, and split-level layouts create challenges for quiet, privacy, and accessibility.

Beautiful small oasis within walking distance to the historic center and lake. Helpful and professional staff. Extraordinary restaurant that was a delight to have breakfast in. Only downside was the noise level at night. There is a bar less than a block away that blasted music till well past 1am, which made sleeping very difficult.

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.

El Meson is a quaint basic little hotel. It’s centrally situated at the south of el Centro and convenient to the city. It’s a bit rustic but very nice. In the lower level is a restaurant offering a discount to residents. It offers clean rooms, shower, daily maid service and friendly staff. If you want basic amenities, I give el meson my top rating.

Beautiful small oasis within walking distance to the historic center and lake. Helpful and professional staff. Extraordinary restaurant that was a delight to have breakfast in. Only downside was the noise level at night. There is a bar less than a block away that blasted music till well past 1am, which made sleeping very difficult.

Absolutely beautiful property. We fell in love everywhere we looked, and always looked forward to breakfast in the morning. The staff was wonderful and the dining room- beautiful, elegant, and super-welcoming. Thank you for everything. It is our new favorite hotel, and we'll be back soon!

We are very pleased with the staff. They have a good helpful attitude. The rooms are unique, vintage. If you get a suite, specify which one you would like as each one is different. The food in the restaurant owned by the same property is excellent!! Thank you for your hospitality

While you are in Xalapa, be sure to visit the various parks including Los Tecajetes and visit Museo de Antropología de Xalapa. I know that the coasts tend to draw people, but going up into the mountains of Veracruz will be an unforgettable experience. Excellent food and wonderful people.

The place was clean and very typical of Xalapa. One night we did not have hot water, but other than that, it was a great stay.
