Overall great stay, nice hotel in ideal location.
Pros:

Perfect location - close to everything but not too busy. Beautiful view from the restaurant

Cons:

Our suite was close to the restaurant so there were lights and music until late each night, but it was the holidays and I didn't really have high expectations. Not enough towels - but I like to have extra for my hair or if I want to shower before dinner etc. It would be nice to have bigger floor mats for the bathroom. .

I would definitely stay here again!
Pros:

The room was lovely and spacious. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom functioned well; hot showers and a magnifying mirror by the sink. Staff were uniformly friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The restaurant needs more options for a vegan like me. Especially breakfast. Options like rice and beans, waffles, avocado toast with fresh sourdough bread would be a good idea.

Buena ubicación
Pros:

El hotel está muy bien ubicado, cercano al antiguo templo y convento de Santo Domingo de Guzmán y a tan sólo una cuadra de la calle principal que se llama Macedonio Alcalá. Es un hotel antiguo, de habitación amplia y baño igualmente amplio. Cuenta con Tv con cable, y la habitación que me asignaron contaba con una cafetera y un frigobar, así como aire acondicionado. El internet igualmente de calidad, mi estancia no incluía desayuno. La cama bastante cómoda, aunque una de las lámparas de mesa no funcionaba bien.

Cons:

Creo que el hotel tiene muchas cosas que podría mejorar. Por alguna razón me asignaron una habitación hasta el fondo del hotel, un poco solitario, todo bien, pero eso hacía que el personal de limpieza de habitaciones se olvidará un poco de mi. La puerta de la habitación solo se cierra con una chapa y una llave, se necesita un poco más de seguridad. Por otro lado, a la mitad de mi estancia me quedé sin papel sanitario, fui a pedirlo a recepción y dijeron no tener. Tuve que comprar mi propio papel sanitario porque la mucama se acordó que debía dejar papel sanitario hasta días después de que lo solicité en recepción. Hacen falta más conectores de luz, pues en toda la habitación sólo hay dos y uno daba toques. Sin duda falta una buena modernización del hotel.

Pros:

Muy buena ubicación

Cons:

Demasiado ruidoso, no es posible descansar porque se escucha todo el ruido de los pasillos, de los otros cuartos, inclusive se alcanza a escuchar la televisión y las voces de los otros huéspedes.

Caution
Pros:

Location location location. Excellent location. Pleasant courtyard.

Cons:

Restaurant food not good. Nowhere comfortable to sit anywhere. I am 73 and I had to leave 3 nights early due to a medical issue. I couldn't breathe. Every room in Oaxaca city was sold out and I'm sure they sold the room. They refused my request for 3 nights back. They actually sent us to the bus station over an hour early so they could clean the room and turn it over. I've never said this before however Not Recommended.

I wouldn’t book it over the weekend or for a long book at least not my room!!
Pros:

The receptionist were so lovely and very helpful. The stuff very friendly, kind and warm, the dog was the cutest and I felt safe there, and the location was really good..

Cons:

The room was dark, if I open the curtain people were there mostly, the rooms smelled very humid, ow specially inside the wardrobe!! the water was nice in the shower but the shower head was making it very difficult to enjoy the shower. After the shower it was all water around the toilet, I had to put the towel there after the shower to be able to go to toilet in the middle of the night and they took my towel.. The window frames were about to break.. there was a club just in the opposite street, the walls were shaking literally I could feel the bass in my bed which made it difficult to sleep.

Pros:

Todo bien, muy limpio y acogedor, solo que en mi cuarto, en el baño se escuchaba todo el ruido de alguna remodelación o arreglo en la parte de arriba, y todas las pláticas de los trabajadores, parecieran que estaban en el mismo cuarto.

Aparte que la presión del agua era muy mala, me tenía que duchar pegado a la pared porque no salía mucha agua.
