Hotel Posada del Viajero

We are backpackers so our usual method of choosing a hotel involves us walking around the centro of towns/cities with our heavy packs ducking into hotels to check out prices. Imagine our surprise when we found this one for $249 peso per night. Asking to see the room we expected to find an awful, dirty and dated room for the mentioned price. Much to our surprise the rooms all appeared to be remodeled with fresh paint and fixtures. During our stay the upper floors still appeared to be being renovated judging by the noise which would start up about 9am each morning. This wasn't an issue as we were there to see the city not stay in the hotel, it was always quiet upon our return in the evening. The only thing I'd say was the rooms were a little small but that's not really an issue. The rooms were cleaned each day and we were given fresh towels and soap. The wifi was fast and reliable even while we skyped our families half way across the world. This hotel cannot be beaten on price if you are after a budget stay in Orizaba.

I know I can't expect much for this price, but...||||I returned at 4:30pm to find my room without towels, soap, nor any sheets on the bed. Couldn't even wash my face. I mentioned it, they said "15 minutos", and I went out for an hour. When I returned at 5:30 the TV was blaring, the bed was made, but I needed to visit the front desk for a towel and soap.||||Now, about the humidity. You get *one* towel with hardly any fluff, and if you use it for an afternoon shower, it'll still be damp by morning. I'm not sure if there's any ventilation in the rooms, other than what wafts in past the reception area. So stuff doesn't dry. The hook in the bathroom isn't quite pointed enough to hold the towel, so when it drops on the floor, it gets even wetter.||||I needed to re-tuck in the sheets both nights so they wouldn't pull out, and found long hairs here and there. TV reception was scratchy, but offered many channels, and WiFi worked well. The mattress was comfortable, the pillow lumpy.||||Location and price, both excellent.

Stayed here twice. Once 6 months ago and then this weekend. Good price and location but after remodeling the room walls are so thin you can hear everything. A bit uncomfortable to hear the person next door singing in the shower. Also the website is not this hotel, it's a sister one in Puebla. We were expecting a terrace.

The hotel is ok, for this price you can not expect much. The only huge problem for me was the noise, because of the eco created you can here a lot of noise during the night. I couldnt sleep at all. People at the lobby are very noisy and also the clients doesnt understand that they should respect who wants to rest. They have a beautiful fontain wich would have helped with the talking voices but it was off during the night. I really would love for the fontain to be on during the night, it would help to ride a little al the noise. If you have more budget dont stay here.

This hotel, not B&B, is directly across from the main market and only 1/2 block from Placio de Heirro. I found it easy walking distance to everything except, of course, Pico de Orizaba. It was only 180 pesos, about $16 US for a single with private bath and cable TV. No a/c but there is a fan. This is a family run place and very clean and safe. However, it is not the Holiday Inn etc.but a typical Mexican small posada. The hotel provides bottled water, towels, soap, 1 free computer in the lobby and DIY instant coffee in the AM. There are about 50 rooms on 3 floors and they seemed to have many Mexican businessmen and families staying there.

The renovated part is fine just missing an elevator..quite cheap priced

No A.C. very spartan. Not as clean.

One bed was way to small
