A beautiful hotel with outstanding breakfast and great location - just a few small tweaks would have made it perfect
Pros:

Amazing breakfast and exceptional terrace, which we loved spending time on. The hotel had beautiful aesthetics, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a really nice stay.

Cons:

Our room had several windows that let through natural light/light from the hallway, with no way of blocking it - we fashioned a makeshift curtain out of a sheet in the end as it woke us up early in the morning. The bathroom door also didn’t close properly which was slightly less romantic than we had hoped 🤣

Central, cozy and charming!
Pros:

A beautiful and charming space with cozy, comfortable rooms. The welcome gift and snacks were a lovely touch, and the rooftop is stunning. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful with every request. Highly recommend.

Cons:

This was not their fault at all but the area can be a little loud at night, perhaps there is a club nearby, and the loud music was a light problem for me, I would bring earphones next time.

Pros:

Location was great and it's a nice place to come back to after a day out. Staff are very friendly.

Cons:

I wish the shower was more contained so water didn't get over most of the restroom, and I wish the sink wasn't a molcajete as it causes water to splash everywhere.

A wonderful rooftop makes this one to consider
Pros:

The location and the roof terrace were outstanding.
The help-yourself breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The suggested Mezcal tasting by Knock Knock which was amazing.

Cons:

The room had only an internal window looking into the communal hallway which made it dark and not super private. The bathroom was a bit too much style over practicality

With such great design and and a terrace to die for you can’t miss this central Oaxacan gem
Pros:

So beautifully and artfully curated design and the central location was key for us. The terrace upstairs was one of the most beautiful and peaceful I’ve ever seen!

Cons:

The walls were thin and that didn’t bother us but I could see it being annoying if you wanted more privacy or noise reduction

Cons:

Meget støj hvis man har værelse ud mod gaden - man får ørepropper af hotellet, men stadig noget man bør være opmærksom på

Perfection at every turn
Pros:

If I could give Boulenc more than a 10/10, I absolutely would. From the location to the staff to the room to the hospitality -- it was all top notch. If you're looking for a place that's quite literally smack in the middle of Oaxaca, you needn't look further, Boulenc is your home away from home. The terrace is a perfect place to both start your day with breakfast and end it with a sip of mezcal -- hopefully from Knock Knock, an amazing purveyor of quality spirits with which Boulenc partners. The bread and pastry offerings throughout the day are dangerous, but don't be afraid to take as much as you'd like. And the honesty bar provides both alcohol and non-alcohol options for whatever your heart desires. Want a meal but don't want to go far? Hit up their restaurant next door. Want some market foods or a souvenir to take home? Their shop is also next door. Want a latte? Pop down a few doors to their cafe. They have everything you need and want. Add that to the fact that you can literally walk anywhere in the city center and beyond from Boulenc, and it's just perfect. You'd be hard pressed to ask me to stay anywhere else next time I'm in Oaxaca.

Cons:

It's not Boulenc's fault, but some of the surrounding businesses definitely pump the bass until late in the night / early morning. Boulenc knows this, though, because they provide you with earplugs just in case you need them!

Pros:

Lovely hotel, with a very beautiful terrace overlooking Oaxaca. Great breakfast and commodities from being a partner of the Boulenc restaurant and bakery.

Cons:

The water from the shower could have been warmer. Also, check in was complicated. There was no code provided and someome had to let us in. Communication was hard at times.
