Centralt godt hotel, men gå uden om værelse 5.
Pros:

Beliggenhed i top, kort gåafstand til alt.

Cons:

Vi blev ved ankomsten tilbudt et værelse, nummer 5, som godt nok rummer alle de beskrevne faciliteter, men som i praksis er et ombygget depotrum/kosteskab, Uden vinduer, en dør så tynd som papir og umuligt på forhånd at se ud fra de billeder der er tilgængelige på booking.com
Det venlige personale hjalp os heldigvis til at skifte til et andet værelse dagen efter.

Pros:

Beliggenhed, renlighed og personale

Cons:

Værelset var som en fængselscelle, vindue ud til en skummel skakt. Mørkt. Meget lydt

Great place, good atmosphere, wonderful people.
Pros:

The place was perfect to meet people while also having a meal at the hostel/ hotel. I enjoyed the chat with the staff and they were very helpful. We were able to store our belongings while walking the city. The city is filled with colour and lots of Americans!

Cons:

The accommodations were perfect but the city although a big tourist attraction became a little overwhelming quickly when you are constantly approached to buy souvenirs from street business people. I understand that when we sit in a restaurant that spills into the street that we should be asked to purchase items from street sellers, but its a bit out of control, and i am sure i am not the only one that feels the pressure to be supportive of these artisans.

Pros:

Great location and friendly staff, luggage storage

Cons:

Very small room too close to the courtyard so that it was quiet loud in the morning. No real window in the accommodation.

Pros:

Esté muy bien ubicado, y en sí el hotel es lindo.

Cons:

Hay habitaciones que poseen su baño fuera de la habitación, por lo que es muy incómodo andar saliendo y pasando por fuera de las habitaciones de los demás huéspedes. Además hay habitaciones que son demasiado pequeñas.

Fijn verblijf, goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding
Pros:

Zeer goede locatie en vriendelijk personeel. De kamer was eenvoudig maar schoon en bood een uitstekende prijs-kwaliteitverhouding. Wij hebben geen last gehad van lawaai (we verbleven in een privékamer met twee bedden). Als we opnieuw in Oaxaca zijn, zouden we hier zeker weer boeken.

Cons:

De douche was helaas niet warm. Wat de sfeer betreft hadden we iets meer sociale levendigheid verwacht. Het dakterras was tijdens ons verblijf ook niet geopend.

Buena estancia
Pros:

Buena ubicación, cerca de la iglesia Santo Domingo, la zona muy tranquilidad, el lugar sin ruidos constantes, la atención con el área de recepción fue excelente, muy atenta Alejandra, siempre brindandonos sugerencias y apoyandonos con las dudas, arribamos de madrugada al hotel en lo que esperábamos, resguardaron nuestras maletas, nos ofrecieron café y té, tuvieron la recamara lista antes y nos dieron acceso antes del check in. Al rededor hay buenos sitios para comer rico, limpio y a buen precio.

Cons:

La habitación estaba a un lado del cuarto de limpieza, lo cual generaba ruido al entrar y salir de los empleados, además, a un lado del cuarto se escuchaba una fuga de agua (gota que estaba goteando) por la noche se escuchaba el ruido del goteo, se reporto en recepción, los días que estuve ahí lo seguí escuchando.

Great base in Oaxaca
Pros:

Tastefully decorated, excellent location in the heart of Centro. Incredible Matu-Toast for breakfast.

Cons:

To be expected, but as an old property in the heart of downtown Oaxaca this is definitely not one for light sleepers.

Bien
Pros:

Chambre très correct avec tout le nécessaire, joliement décorée. L’hotel dans son ensemble est charmant. Très bonne emplacement.

Cons:

Les chambres sont tres peu isolées. Nous pouvons entendre facilement les voisins et les bruits de la rue malgré les doubles fenêtres. Pas de lait pour le café au petit déjeuner et la jeune serveuse était très désagréable.
