Reviews of Casa de Juan Hostal 3 stars

nice location near the center of town, bus stop one block away, great places to eat nearby, an Oxxo across the street. Very nice staff helpful and nice facilities like a microwave, coffee pot and refrigerator. Nice rooms with a bathroom , hot water. Short ride to ADO Bus station

LACKS A STOVE, BLENDER, TOASTER and bottled water

Excellent location, walking distance to the center of town and not far from the bus station. It is a very charming building and a good value.

The bunk beds weren’t particularly comfortable but they were fine and an excellent value. I would have liked coffee available in the morning.

Lovely old building walking distance to the cento historico. We had a room on the front so there is some traffic noise but the room was bright and spacious. I would come here again.

The first room they gave us at the back, beside the back door, was horrible, even though the hostal wasn't full. We had to ask to see better rooms.

Nice building, private room was nice and came with a desk/chair and private bathroom. Free coffee was made in the mornings. Easy walk to downtown and also had restaurants nearby. Wi-Fi was excellent and common areas were large so I could work remotely easily.

There was not a full kitchen, that was the only bummer, but there is free coffee and a shared fridge.

Location

Stairs everywhere and crammed rooms

Todo bien.

The location is very close to the historic center and located close to restaurants, stores and parks. The room was very nice and quiet. The bed was very comfortable. Good water pressure in the shower and nice hot water. The courtyard is beautiful and a nice spot to sit and enjoy some race and quiet.

Nothing

I booked a dorm bed but I ended up in a twin room with a private bathroom with 1 other person. Amazing value for money. The WiFi was strong, shower water was hot and the place was very clean. The staff are wonderful. I left my watch behind in the room and they kept it for me and stored my luggage. They also let me use their common area after I checked out for most of the day. I can't recommend this place enough and Xalapa is also a lovely town. The hostel is very secure with a PIN code entrance, room locks and a luggage box for each bed.

There is no kitchenette in the hostel.

I've stayed here a quite few times over the last 4 years. It's always extremely clean. Good location. It's a beautiful old building. It's been in their family for a long time.

It seems to have changed and not for the better. They've started unlocking the back door which used to be secured at all times with a key. Now people go in and out of all hours slamming the door and sneaking escorts in late at night. They no longer enforce any noise violations, so even though the quiet hours are officially at 10:30 p.m, the noise continues at all hours. The last week I was there they had a huge group that had some kind of birthday party or gathering and the noise was absolutely insane. There was people in the hospital after quiet hours who weren't even staying there.

Good location

Bare, no frills room, but ok

Staff friendly and helpful. The dorm bed was super comfortable and loved having the en suite bathroom. Good base to access the town or visit the museum.

Nothing really apart from being very quiet but that was ok.

Big room, comfortable bed, fuzzy blanket provided, safety door

Very very thin walls, no chance to block out noise from outside

Fantastic location, friendly staff, clean and quiet at night. Such a great price in a beautiful old building with lots of lounge areas. Filtered water and delicious coffee available at all times.

Rooms next to staff kitchen were a little noisy during break times. No kitchen, just a microwave and fridge that was locked. No cutlery or plates.

Good located between ADO station and Zocalo. Everything is easy to reach. Taxi to the Museum of Anthropology and ADO station is 50 Pesos. Good and cheap cafes and restaurants near by. Clean, easy check-in

Everything was ok, not many people was there during my stay time

Very nice staff trying to accommodate either I was not able to speak in Spanish - very appreciate ! Good internet for workers Very calm place

Nothing

They published on booking.com rooms that already booked, kind of a trap when arriving. Room with a view ment side walk view where busses and cars passing with constant noise, the window has no isolation at all. Offered another room with black tiles all over, and a small window next to the door, quite depressing like a suicide room. Crappy old springs mattress that sink down when trying to sleep, planned to stay 3 night, cancelled after one night of bad sleep. Terrible sleep experiance of discomforts and noises.
