Hotel Doña Juana

Top choice in Veracruz


This is a modern multilayered building that has small, but very well-kept rooms. The ample use of terracotta colors and statement art make it stand out from many similarly priced places, as do the helpful, smiling staff. Avoid the single dark room with a partial view of the inner courtyard.
