Great location for exploring the city
Pros:

I made a mistake with my booking and the lady was so kind in helping me to resolve it. All the staff were charming. The whole stay was perfect. The best thing was that you could walk anywhere from it. Also, it was close to an amazing taco/quesadilla stand (tacos del carmen) on the corner. There is also a superb restaurant (La popular) facing the taco stand to go to when the taco stand isn’t open. The room was spacious and the roof terrace gave a nice space for my morning coffee. If they added seating out there, it would be perfect. The breakfast offering was simple but I preferred to go out and explore the markets for food. I felt secure and comfortable at all times.

Cons:

If there could be some seating on the roof terrace, that would improve things.

Pros:

Ubicación perfecta. La atención es tan familiar que olvidas estar en un hotel. La habitación no es muy grande, pero compensa lo precioso que es todo. La cama cómoda. El patio interior una maravilla. Volveríamos a quedarnos aquí cuando vengamos nuevamente sin duda!

Authentique
Pros:

L’emplacement est idéal, proche du centre et de plein de bons restaurants. L’accueil et le cadre authentiques, et le personnel toujours super avenant.

Cons:

Seul petit « bémol », on entend beaucoup la musique du restaurant à coté. Mais la Clim suffit à la masquer :)

Unprofessional and rude owner.
Pros:

Very clean rooms. The location. The employees Saira and the night custodian. Complimentary fruit and coffee in the morning.

Cons:

The premises are acceptable and generally okay, but the experience was seriously affected by the owner’s rude attitude. I stayed there for 8 nights in 2 rooms (3 people). Nevertheless, she tried to charge me double the Booking’s advertised price just to get a different room -one with a window. I lost over two hours of my vacation negotiating this issue. If it hadn’t been for the employee Saira (?) who was professional and genuinely helpful, I would have had to book two rooms in another hotel at 6 pm.

Great staff!!!
Pros:

The staff was absolutely fantastic and the building was lovely and safe. The bed was very comfortable

Cons:

There was a night club across the street that played extraordinary loud music all night long until 3-4am (no curfew in Oaxaca)
The hot water didn’t work. After I reported this, I would get warm water after 2-3 minutes of letting the water run (they are in a 6 year drought) and then hot water after 4-5+ minutes of waiting (not good)
