Very nice place! For what you're paying for and for the location, it can't get any better than this! It was very clean, well sanitized, and had everything we needed from bottled water, toiletries, and towels. You get pretty fast internet, comfy bed and pillows, and best of all Netflix! The staff is very friendly and they take cash only, so make sure you bring cash to pay. They don't have their own parking, so you will have to park in the street, which is free, but can get saturated and that will depend how far you will have to park from the hotel. Overall I strongly recommend staying here. We definitely will be looking at returning next time we visit Orizaba!

Estuve hospedada este fin de año 2025, y el hotel está muy céntrico, muy limpio y la hospitalidad de los empleados estupenda. Nos dejaron quedarnos con nuestra mascota un husky. Todo excelente lo recomiendo ampliamente, si regreso nuevamente a Orizaba me quedaré ahí

El hotel es muy bonito, tiene habitaciones amplias y limpias con un ambiente relajante y luces suaves, una pequeña mesa para comer o trabajar, baño amplio y un tocador por fuera... Incluso un sillón (todo en la habitación más sencilla). Hay facilidades para entrar y salir incluso de madrugada, así que no te preocupas por si llegas muy tarde.

Hotel Gadag is like your home away from home, managed by the sister you wish you had. Silvia is a really sincere and resourceful people and his passion to deliver to guest expectations is obvious - even if it means going out of the way, as in my case. The rooms are neat and comfy, and the property feels welcoming. Will recommend highly.

Great hotel just a few blocks from Centro, but in a quiet neighborhood. Super friendly staff (gracias Silvia!), big rooms, hot water, toilet seats, fast WiFi, filtered water from the garrifone, and a super friendly dog who wants all the pets. Great value as well.
