Fascinante
Pros:

El desayuno fue delicioso. Variado, con buen sazón, jugos de frutas naturales, pan de dulce muy bueno, platillos variados....El personal excelente. Felicidades a Anna, nos apoyó muchísimo, y Viridiana encantadora. El hotel está a dos cuadras del Convento de Santo Domingo. A pesar de ser una calle transitada el hotel es muy silencioso. Hay bahías para descender maletas o pasajeros. La habitación iluminada y con muy buena ventilación, aire acondicionado y muy cómoda. A unos cuantos pasos hay restaurantes de todos los precios. Es muy buena la ubicación, la recomiendo ampliamente.

Cons:

Nada. probablemente que cambien las sábanas y toallas mas seguido. Pero no es grave.

Very friendly, great breakfast, and balcony room worth the extra for me
Pros:

Breakfast lovely. We had a room with a large shared veranda that was quite special. Staff helped with sorting cake and flowers for my partner's birthday. Had breakfast on veranda too.

Cons:

Room perhaps a bit dark but often that is the style of room in many hotels with doors or windows onto an internal courtyard. Balcony room therefore worth the extra for me.

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!

It was very good except for the room
Pros:

Location was great, staff very good

Cons:

Room had no windows other than one that opened to a courtyard which was used for breakfast and guest hangout area. So the window shutters had to be kept closed which made it oppressive.

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!

Very lovely experience.
Pros:

The room was great large beautiful comfortable bed. Great art!! Fantastic location. Great large and beautiful bathroom. Our window faced the outside so could not really open it due to privacy issue and because it was right in line with the sidewalk . Breakfast was excellent especially in the upstairs terrace. The staff could not be better. Well prepared, knowledgeable staff , especially Ms Ana! I would stay again but upstairs with access to the terrace.

Cons:

Just having a window that we could freely open. And the bathroom lighting could be improved.

We would recommend Casa Catrina
Pros:

Close in to the cultural center of the old city on a relatively quiet street, comfortably upgraded and maintained with a lovely and attentive staff.

Cons:

Really the only thing we had any issues with was a hard mattress on the king bed! But we got used to it, especially after long days of walking.

Pros:

Muy bien ubicado, vas caminando a todos lados, y el servicio, recibimos un excelente trato desde la llegada.
Las habitaciones son muy amplias y limpias, nos tocó habitacion con salida a la terraza y fue muy agradable que nos sirvieran allí el desayuno que estuvo muy rico.

Cons:

Como recomendación les diría que el jabón de baño y shampú no nos gustaron (textura y aroma), sugiero busquen una mejor opción.
