“Avoid this place like the plague!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2008

We planned to visit El Tajin and thought the Hotel Victoria looked pleasant enough. It was the 1st of January so we didn't think there would be a problem getting a room. We were charged rack rate of what comes to about $95.00 US dollars a night. The young lady behind the desk spoke with a mumble, we could barely understand anything she said (we are both level 2 speakers). The room was comfortable but certainly not worth the price. It had new furniture but old carpet and drapery. The plumbing facilities were adequate. We were awoken at 6:00 AM by this horrendous noise. Seems that the very helpful (NOT) young lady behind the desk put us in room which was next to a roof containing air-conditioning units and vent hoods for the restaurant. It sounded like jet engines getting ready to take off!
There were so few people there we could not understand why she didn't space the few of us out. The walls are so thin you could hear the man next door clearing his sinus cavities. They added insult to injury when we saw the sign on the normally complimentary bottle of water left in the room. See the attached photo.
It is not worth your money and there are at least 4 other hotels on the same street. They are far from the only game in town. Pozo Rico is a typical oil refinery town and there is nothing of interest except to spend the night before seeing El Tajin.

“Looked nicer in the Internet, but dissapointed me a little”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2007

We stayed here for one night because Poza Rica is the greatest city near the prehispanic ruins of El Tajin, in the Mexican state of Veracruz. Rooms are clean and have air conditioned, cable TV and iron. The hotel has a small parking in its basement, that closes in the night.

PROs: The hotel has a nice pool and it is conveniently located near nice restaurants over 20 de Noviembre Avenue. The air conditioned was a bless in a hot Summer day (and night).
CONs: The pool was dirty with papers, pieces of plastic, insects and tree leaves, probably because there was a big party the night before and the hotel employees were busy folding tables and chairs. We went to the pool nevertheless, because it was a hot day.

In the end, it is not a costly hotel, but I was somehow disappointed for the service received. I must say, nevertheless, that maybe the Victoria was understaffed because it was Sunday.
I would recommend the hotel but just because I could not find something better in the zone, including the nearby city of Papantla.

  • Liked — Excelent location, the pool and the air conditioned rooms
  • Disliked — dirty pool
