I would give this five stars, but it’s not a five-star hotel. It’s more like a 3-star, but in that class, it’s a five. The rooms are classic Mexico hacienda style with mod-cons (AC that works, good WI, good water pressure). The street noice is intense outside, so ask for a room in back. We did, and had no problem sleeping. Some rooms have loft sleeping areas, so if you don’t want to climb steps to get to the bed, ask for a room all on one floor. The location is excellent. Breakfast is continental but good quality. For something different one morning, we went to the Cafe Don Justo around the corner, a very popular local spot with great coffee and a variety of egg dishes.

Clean, good value, classy touches, good location

This is a review of the restaurant-La Candela-at this hotel and not of the hotel itself.i had breakfast at this restaurant on a number of occasions during a recent visit to Xalapa...Service was excellent and I want to pay tribute to Chuy and Jaime-two very friendly staff members.The choice of food was superb and was very nicely presented.Prices were very reasonable and the ambience made the visit so worthwhile...I am happy to recommend this place and give it 10 out of 10.

Excellent restaurant at this hotel

One-way streets and a tunnel sent us around the parklike zócalo three times before we found our hotel, Méson del Alférez Xalapa, a 16-room inn with a very discrete sign. The hotel was everything I had hoped in my colonial fantasies. Despite the busy street running in front, and the one alongside descending steeply enough to be worthy of San Francisco, the interior was tranquil, all white stucco walls, red tile floors and tall wooden doors leading into our spotless room with two comfortable double beds and such mod-cons as a flat-screen TV, a coffeemaker and a hairdryer. Our companion reported that his room, a single in a separate building, was also comfortable. Breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant, Hosteria La Candela, was delicious. My husband ordered the yoghurt with fresh fruit, granola, juice and coffee, one of the two selections included with our room. (The other was continental, with a croissant replacing the yoghurt and granola.) I splurged on the huevos albañil, eggs scrambled with green sauce and a side of mashed black beans. The sauce reminded me of my own using tomatillos, cilantro and jalapeño. As the name suggests, jalapeño peppers are native to Xalapa.

Charming and comfortable

My son and his beautiful bride-to-be chose this for all of his family and friends coming from out of town. We were all on the same main floor. What a wonderful amazing time. The hotel was super beautiful and clean. People working there were amazing. My room (112) was beautiful, super clean and well stocked with coffee and water, fresh towels and toiletries ... so nice. The shower was excellent. A short walk to the wedding venue and favorite restaurants. A few steps downstairs to a wonderful breakfast and delicious coffee every morning. I will never forget my stay here, or my wonderful time in Xalapa MX. 

The most wonderful beautiful hotel!

An old small finca with great history. Possibly original layout and well tended gardens, with decent reception and waiting room along with a charming barber shop. 

As much as I like open inner courtyards, they do carry all kinds of sounds into the rooms, especially when the existing doors are flimsy old wood, and the windows have single glass panes.

Bare bones decor, much needed light in front of the sink to shave properly.

The restaurant below serves a good hearty breakfast a la carte. 

Location in the Centro is a big plus as I was able to walk everywhere and felt safe even at night.

Staff seems to be made up of part time employees and maybe for that reason found them impersonal. It is puzzling that someone bothers to reply to reviews since there was no one behind the desk that seemed vested in the place.


Uncut gem

It isn't the fault of the poor people who run this place, but a nightclub next door makes it literally impossible to sleep. How do I know? As I write this it is now 3:25 a.m. as I write this and they are still going strong . How bad is it? I have high quality earplugs in and tried covering my head with a pillow ...nope....still hear it. Inseams to make the whole hotel actually vibrate.So...great place to stay if you are a Mexican University student and want to stay up all night dancing and getting loaded and then plan t sleep it off in the next day...not so great if you just came to Jalapa to visit the museum because you are interested in culture and hoped to get some sleep the night before. In a nutshell, this place is my own personal idea of hell

Noisiest Hotel Ever!

Charming colonial-style spot in a great location. You’re close to everything but it is still peaceful behind the thick walls. Our room was two levels - a downstairs with a sofa and bathroom and an upstairs sleeping loft. The nice thing about this arrangement is that if someone wants to get up early or stay up late reading they don’t disturb the other person. The downside is that if you have bad balance or mobility issues you may find the stairs difficult as they are narrow and steep. Also, the heating unit is fine but since it is upstairs it doesn’t really heat the lower level. 
Water pressure and temperature were fine (always a sticking point for me here in Mexico). Breakfast is not included but it is really delicious and worth it. Beds were hard but not old or saggy. Overall, a fun place to stay and great value. 

Peace in the center of the city 

A beautiful boutique hotel. This place was so charming. The suite was a good size. Great value for the price. We had good service. Great location, just one block off the main road in Centro histórico. Spotless and great WiFi! 

Fantastic!

This charming hotel in the center of town is a bargain. The room was clean, well kept and comfortable. The in-room coffee was the best I have ever had, even at places charging 5x as much. The breakfast in the restaurant was fresh and tasty. The staff does not speak much English, so having some Spanish is a must. The walls are thick and there is a lovely inner courtyard.

Cannot be beat for comfort and price

Great service all around with people and the place  
Such kind people there I can’t believe how nice it was 
I can’t Wait to come back again because it so fantastic there 
Overall best stay I have ever had.
