Hotel Venedik

The Venedik Hotel is a sweet gem close to the beach, restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Their recently renovated room has been beautifully decorated in a modern "boutique" style. The staff are very friendly and always willing to assist when needed. I would highly recommend this hotel for it's location, affordable pricing and service! I would definitely return!

I stayed at this hotel twice, in Nov. 2010 and March 2011. In Nov. we got a room with a toilet that didn't work. They sent someone to fix it, but afterwards it still didn't work right. My fiancee, who speaks fluent Spanish, went downstairs to try and get another room. After awhile they finally gave us another room, but stated that Americans complain too much and if they wanted a 5-star hotel why don't they stay somewhere else! I'm not picky, but I think a functioning toilet is a reasonable accommodation for a "business class" hotel. The only nice staff person was the lady who helps with the breakfast buffet. Continental breakfast is free, with eggs "a little extra". I had to pay $14.00 for eggs, that were soaked in grease. I wouldn't expect "a little extra" is $14. Anyhow if you end up going here, not worth the price for eggs. A man that works there, I assume a manager, never ever said a word to us, even a hello or smile, and we saw him several times during both stays. Second trip here, the two nights we stayed the bed hurt both our backs. When we were all packed up, done checking out, our taxi had just arrived to take us to the airport and then the lady from the desk confronted us and basically implied that we stolen a towel. (Long story short). Same lady who made the comments about Americans!

We had never been to Veracruz, and booked the Venedik off their website. The hotel is quite new, and everything works beautifully. The room has a minimalist, European air with a wall-mounted widescreen TV and modern furniture. We had a one-bed room, with an enormous king-size, plus a nice little sofa--pleasant to have somewhere besides the bed to sit. There was a small desk, and though there wasn't originally a chair with it, the staff were happy to bring me up one of the chairs from the main-floor dining room. Everything was immaculate--the shower was large, with lots of hot water. A continental breakfast was included, and for a little bit more, you also could get eggs cooked to order. What a bargain--this is a business hotel, and we were the only tourists there, but people spoke enough English for us (so-so tourist Spanish-speakers) to get by. This hotel is just off the beach, a 15-minute bus ride from the bustling center of Veracruz.This means it's really quiet. For other meals, there's an excellent Italian restaurant, reasonably priced, just around the corner.
