Hotel is very close to two markets, and the zocalo is a few blocks away. Business/residential neighborhood is lively
Pros:

Great location. Charming environment. Daily maid service.

Cons:

Drinking water dispenser was not always working. A bath mat/floor towel would be great for departing shower safely.

Great Location with Drawbacks
Pros:

Visited during Día de los Muertos. The location is excellent — just a few blocks from the Zócalo and right next to two large markets with great food and local products. The room was spacious, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

My front-facing room (17) was quite noisy due to traffic and a nearby nightclub. The streetlight and car headlights made it bright at night — blackout curtains and earplugs would help a lot. The TV’s speaker seemed damaged, and the hot water was only available for short periods in the morning and evening.

Oaxaca siempre bella ❤️
Pros:

Las instalaciones muy bonitas, con mucho colorido.
El lugar es cómodo y tranquilo, y muy cerca de sitios de interés. Es la segunda vez que me hospedó aquí y todo bien. 👍

Cons:

La habitación era un poco pequeña. Y el tiempo de disponibilidad de agua caliente tiene horarios limitados. Pero realmente cumplía con lo necesario, creo son detalles menores.

Rudest reception staff ever
Pros:

Picked this hotel for the location and decor. However, there was no working wifi and they did NOTHING to fix it in a week. Rooms are ok but noisy. The worst part was how rude and careless the lady at the front desk was. Would not help an 80 yo carry her suit case upstairs. Never again.

Good stay
Pros:

Great location in the city centre and close to a famous food market. Super nice staff. Clean room.

Cons:

No hairdryer. The room’s window faced a shared balcony facing an internal courtyard, therefore we didn’t really have much light and we felt uncomfortable opening it because other guests would have to walk past to go to their bedrooms. The bed was ok but maybe a bit small for two people. We’re really good with noise, but it got quite loud at times, you might want to consider that if you have light sleep.
