About this property
Welcome to OYO Hotel Totonacapan, Papantla
OYO Hotel Totonacapan, Papantla offers simple, budget-friendly accommodations with unassuming rooms and suites designed to meet basic needs. The property features amenities such as free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, free parking, and an on-site restaurant, although it lacks a fitness center and swimming pool. Guests can expect a down-to-earth environment suitable for short stays.
Located along a bustling street near Federal Highway 180, the hotel is within walking distance of local landmarks like the Monumento Al Volador and is about 8 km from the archaeological ruins at the Museum Site of El Tajín. This makes it a practical base for visitors interested in exploring the area's cultural and historical attractions.
Guest feedback reflects a mix of opinions, noting that while the hotel is clean and offers good value, some areas show signs of aging, such as narrow staircases without elevator access and occasional maintenance issues. Several reviewers highlighted the helpfulness of the staff and the comfortable air conditioning, though others mentioned limitations like inconsistent Wi-Fi and no hot water in some rooms.
Overall, this property suits travelers seeking affordable lodging focused on functionality rather than luxury, especially those planning to spend most of their time exploring Papantla rather than on extensive hotel facilities. Its straightforward service and convenient location make it a reasonable choice for budget-conscious guests.

Muy buen lugar para descansar, clima muy frío, las paredes sueltan como polvo del deterioro pero todo lo demás está excelente
8.0
Es un hotel viejito pero a precio accesible, carencias como elevador o agua caliente (dudo que quieras agua caliente con el calor de por si) o que el WiFi es más anecdotico pueden hechar para atrás a algunos, note que algunas habitaciones no cuentan con aire pero puedes preguntar antes de aceptarla y evitas algún problema, en mi caso no contaban con pago con tarjeta en el momento por problemas pero el chico fue amable siempre. No es un hotel 5 estrellas y se nota, podrían subir un poco el precio si eso significara mejorar en general los detalles y nadie se quejaría
8.0
Hotel familiar solo que en la página no dice que no funciona el elevador y subir maletas al tercer piso es pesado, aparte que las escaleras están muy estrechas. Falta algo de limpieza y cortinas no funcionan bien. La luz en el baño es muy tenue.

El Hotel OYO está limpio, por aquellos que les tememos a las chinches, no hay ni una sola, y l@s dueñ@s están al pendiente de todo lo necesario, hay agua caliente para bañarte y lo están arreglando para ofrecer un mejor servicio. Me sentí muy tranquila desde la primer noche de mi hospedaje. Gracias a todo su equipo por haberme hecho sentir como en casa.
8.0
El hotel cumple, si solo quieres un lugar para quedarte y descansar esta muy bien. En nuestro cuarto la tele y el aire si servían bien, y estaba bastante limpio. Tienen un pequeño estacionamiento pero cuando llegamos estaba lleno, pero dejamos el auto enfrente y sin problemas. Bueno, bonito, y relativamente barato
8.0
En general está bien a secas. Tiene una buena ubicación, cercana al centro y no es caro, sin embargo se nota algo viejo ya. Las camas son cómodas y las habitaciones en general limpias. Recomendable para pasar 2 noches máximo. Cuenta con restaurante pero no hay opción de incluir desayuno.
