A lovely boutique hotel with a wonderful staff and which is in walking distance to all of the Oaxacan sites and Markets
Pros:

We had a wonderful enormous second floor room - more like a suite - with a huge bathroom and even larger covered terrace which had a seating area adorned with tropical plants. Breakfasts were wonderful, with a huge glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and typical Oaxacan hot chocolate, along with one of a half dozen egg preparations. The location was excellent for touring, being in walking distance of all the important sites and markets. The housekeeping was excellent, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The only potential drawback was the church across the street which rang its bells at sunrise. We enjoyed the local color of the bells which were clearly being rung by hand, but lighter sleepers might not appreciate it quite as much.

I would absolutely stay there again.
Pros:

Casa Catrina is a delightful hotel just a few blocks from Santo Domingo. Our room was stunning and very well appointed. The staff was both professional and friendly--there to help. We had the American Breakfast offering with fresh fruit, homemade breakfast rolls, coffee and lots more. I would absolutely stay there again.

Lovely hotel: Great staff and location
Pros:

Our six day visit to Oaxaca was anchored by a delightful stay at the Casa Catrina. Inocencio and Ana made us feel at home, providing delicious breakfasts, transportation assistance and touristic advice. We stayed in the red room upstairs with a beautiful balcony, spacious room and huge shower/bathroom. Almost everything we wanted to do in town was in walking distance. The perfect hotel for us in Oaxaca!

Fantastic place to stay in Oaxaca
Pros:

Casa Catrina is a delight! We had a wonderful time staying here. Ana and her team are so friendly it felt more like staying with a good friend than a hotel. The breakfasts are delicious and the location is ideal for visiting museums, churches, bars and restaurants. The design and decoration are all beautiful and our room was very spacious with a lively terrace. Can’t wait to come back!

Lovely stay in Oaxaca
Pros:

The red suite was one of the loveliest stays we’ve had in Mexico. The room was very spacious with a separate sitting area, a marvelous terrace, and an enormous bathroom. It’s located on the northern edge of the historic center so it’s very quiet, but do expect to hear church bells twice a day for mass. The staff here is friendly and helpful and we would absolutely stay here again!

Our best stay in Oaxaca
Pros:

What a sweet spot with the loveliest staff. We loved the garden terrace off our room where they brought us breakfast (included). The hotel is in a great location just north of Templo San Domingo. We stayed at a few places in Oaxaca City and this was our favorite. Downside: the beds in Mexico can be on the very firm side.

Great location and very welcoming staff.

This boutique hotel is a hidden gem—elegant, impeccably clean, and exceptionally well maintained. The décor strikes the perfect balance between authenticity and refined style, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. Each morning begins with a complimentary continental breakfast, featuring freshly baked artisanal breads and a selection of house-pressed juices—an indulgent touch that sets the tone for the day.
