Name: Hotel Trueba
Address: Oriente 6 and Sur 11
Phone: 724-2930

This fairly pricey hotel located near the ADO bus terminal has single and double rooms with AC, TV and private bath with 24 hour hot water priced at 280 to 320 pesos for a single / double. Accommodations are adequate, but for the price Hotel L’Orbe would be a better value. However, tours up Mt. Orizaba to mid-range altitudes can be arranged by Turismo Aventura from the lobby of this hotel, departing on Saturday and Sunday mornings. A few of the guides speak some English and the tours are interesting and unique but should be arranged well in advance. Be sure to bring warm clothes if you’re planning even a low-altitude trek up the mountain as it can get pretty chilly even in the dead of Summer. A Pico de Orizaba tour, however, is most definitely recommended and will cost in the neighborhood of $25 to $30 U.S. dollars per person – a bit less in the “off” seasons.

The Hotel Mirador is mid-range in price and services with cable TV, private bath, 24 hour hot water, and fans. It fills up fairly quickly during peak seasons, but isn’t really anything super special. Accommodations are adequate though, and the location isn’t bad as it’s in the city center near a variety of restaurants, cafes, theaters and other facilities. Rates are 170 to 190 pesos for a single / double room.
