Evonne at the restaurant made our stay superior ! Hotel
Was great ..management on top of everything ! Couldn’t ask for better ..Evonne was An added bonus at restaurant ! So sweet smiling every morning and took great pride in her work …double bonus to wake up to this lovely lady !
Hotel was great, staff was very friendly and helpful. 10 minute walk from downtown and a lot of places to go eat around, the only sucky part was the tv would loose signal a lot and the shower head was not so great.
All of the staff members were amazing! The location was great, especially for seeing the fireworks on the rooftop during the Guelaguetza. The breakfast was delicious and the property itself was beautiful.
Very enjoyable stay, travelling solo and appreciated the 24/7 front desk who were all lovely. Close to some great bars and restaurants for drink or dinner and to walk home safely. Beautiful quaint property with lovely colourful decorations. Room was comfortable enough though the mattress was very firm and water pressure a bit light. Not deal breakers for me though.
The restaurant attached is small and generally only open for breakfast and lunch, maybe because was quiet at hotel but while food was fine, given Oaxacan cuisine is amazing I was expecting more and would have eaten elsewhere on reflection but was convenient and amaZing views over city towards San Domingo church.
Would recommend as a lovely spot to explore Oaxaca from and be very comfortable and excellent service :)
We had a lovely time at this hotel with our family of 5 - staying in 2 rooms. We loved the outdoor terrace space. We enjoyed breakfast and midday snacks at the restaurant. The workout room is well equipped which we did use on some rainy days. Beds were firm, clean and comfortable. The hotel is charming with a welcoming and very helpful staff. It is a short enjoyable walk to Oaxaca sites.

Location is very convenient, at the edge of the city center but still within walking distance.
The jacuzzi and spa area closes at 7pm, this was unexpected as is regarded as private area for the suite. Couldn't find that in the policies online in Expedia.
Better cleaning in the shower is commendable as there was black mold behind the window curtain.
The door curtain could be darker and thicker, it lets the light and voices in.

Everything was wonderful , pillow cases were kinda smelly at first .
El hotel está bien ubicado, atención por parte del personal muy buena.
Único pero, es el estacionamiento que no está cerca la propiedad, el horario es limitado y nos pidieron cooperación económica por qué el hotel solo cubre las noches y no el día. Consideren $70 pesos extra por día de estacionamiento.
The property was lovely with a lot of charm and excellent service. I didn't give it five stars just because the motorcycles were all stored in the lobby area, and it looked unappealing.
Close to historic sites and amazing restaurants and bars. I enjoyed walking everywhere in town from it. This place has all the amenities I needed, including a daily carafe of water in the room and an AC unit. The only issue I had was the doorbell of the hotel. It does not function well. Often pressing the doorbell did not notify the front desk.
Hotel was VERY clean. Loved the charm and colors! Price and location was great, easy access to Centro and easy access to taxis. Only downside was the bathroom was very hot and because of the vent on the door the smell of the bathroom would fill the room. Other than that everything was good and would definitely recommend it!
