Nu Hotel

Excellent attention from the staff, it is warm and there is not much noise, the facilities are good, the pool is small but beautiful, I loved it, if you don't have a place in the parking lot, you have options to put it outside, but nothing happens, it's safe

Aside from the location, this hotel is beautiful, clean and very modern. It has a beautiful little rooftop pool. The rooms are well decorated and clean with AC. The staff is polite and helpful. The location might seem sketchy but it is relatively safe and the Malecon is only a 5 min taxi ride, about $40 pesos.

I chose to stay at Nu Hotel because I was only in Veracruz for two nights, and I was arriving by bus, leaving by early bus, and taking the bus for a day trip to Tlacotalpan (!) so it was convenient. The bus station is across the road. I enjoy walking, so the 25 minute walk to the zocalo (15 to the malecon) wasn't an issue. If you don't want to walk, cabs are plentiful. First impressions weren't great - a (minor) mix up over my booking, the lift wasn't working, the room was like a furnace, and there were kids in the 'swimming pool' making more noise than a school at break time. I didn't plan on staying in the room after checking in, so I wasn't too concerned about the racket (even with the window closed, the walls are like paper), but I was more than a bit annoyed that it was still going on when I got back at 9pm with the intention of having an early night. The parents didn't seem to care; neither did the hotel. They eventually disappeared around 10.15pm. Could have been worse I guess. Luckily they were gone the next day, and the whole place felt a lot better. The 'swimming pool' is nothing more than a big bath. You couldn't swim in it if you tried. And you couldn't relax in it like a jacuzzi. The hotel's photos make it look like it's a nice, relaxing outside space, but it's tiny. You couldn't relax on a sun lounger if there was anyone in the pool. You'd get wet. And annoyed. It serves no purpose other than for kids to make a noise in! Aside from the 'pool' problem, Nu Hotel is actually very good value: - the room is spacious - standard of cleaning was fine - comfortable bed - great hot shower - wifi was okay, although it has a habit of freezing every now and then - security safe - effective (but noisy) aircon - hot/cold drinking water on each floor There's a restaurant attached which looked inviting, and they also provide room service. But I didn't try the food, so I can't comment. In summary - don't choose Nu Hotel if you want a pool. And if there are no screaming kids there, you'll have a pleasant stay!
