The Hotel is great! You can not go wrong for the price. The staff are courteous and hospitable. I will continue to stay at the Hawaii Hotel during my visits to Veracruz.

The English speaking staff were very friendly. The hotel is right on the Malecon (waterfront). You're right downtown for excellent accessibility to everything.

Lots of taxis. Plenty of free secure parking. Easy access to the historical sites of Veracruz (and there are plenty).

Just a nice hotel in a nice city.

We arrived in Veracruz and went to hotel Concha Dorada right away because our girlfriend had been there in the past and wanted to say there again. Unfortunately the place was full but I had checked Tripadvisor before our trip and since the reviews for hotel Hawaii were good we walked to that hotel and they had 2 rooms available. One single for 1000 and a double for 1200 pesos.

Nice, clean rooms but a little too sterile for us with almost white marble floors, white walls, nothing colorful at all so it looked more like a hospital but for the rest it was very OK with a friendly staff and great view.

We wanted to stay for 1 night and the idea was check in at the Concha
Dorada the next day. We went there, the man in charge showed us two rooms and boy, what a terrible old place that was. Old, dirty and we were glad they were booked the previous night. After Concha Dorada we went to hotel Imperial and that's the same story. The lobby is OK but after seeing several rooms we were very glad we could return to hotel Hawaii to stay there for another night.

Veracruz is very relaxed and the square has many nice restaurants for a cup of coffee in the morning, drinks in the afternoon and evening and of course meals. It was very busy during the weekend with an orchestra and mariachis playing, people dancing, people selling balloons and cigars, a street market and it looks like one of the best zocalo's of the country.

For M$1000 I got a single with king size bed on the 7th floor overlooking the Malecon and the harbor. There were windows on two sides (one opening to the balcony). The view was spectacular! It's in the middle of everything and M$220 from/to the airport. The white marble was spotless and the large bathroom was strange but fine (only a shower curtain divides the bathroom from the vanity area). Refrigerator. Great A/C. Free coffee and newspaper.
