Plaza Real

Veracruz


One block east of the main square, this hotel has plenty of Mexican flavor and spacious, pleasantly painted rooms with sunflower-tiled basins. It can be somewhat noisy here, as the rooms surround an atrium where sound travels impressively. Do try to get a room at the front of the building, as these are the only ones with natural light.
