Good location, not very comfortable
Pros:

Good location, very central and nice personnel.
The room was small, but had AC

Cons:

The room had no windows apart from one facing the inner court so no natural light was coming in at all.

The bed and pillows were pretty uncomfortable and I must say I did not sleep well any of the 3 nights we stayed.

One evening we also found a cockroach in the room. Thankful the personnel took care of it.

Great hotel, wonderful helpful staff.
Pros:

Staff were so kind and helpful. Location was perfect, could walk everywhere! Room was big and clean.

Cons:

The street was loud- but not the fault of the hotel, just a busy street- I advice ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper.

Una noche fue suficiente
Pros:

Es un alojamiento muy céntrico, está al lado de los mercados de Oaxaca donde se puede comer y comprar productos.
La recepcionista fue muy amable en todo momento con nosotros.

Cons:

La cama era terrible: pequeña, incomoda y el colchón estaba cubierto de un plástico que hacía muchísimo ruido cada vez que te movías, además que toda la cama se movía. No descansamos nada.
Las instalaciones de la habitación están muy viejas. No hubiéramos aguantado más de una noche.

Oaxaca is amazing, and this hotel puts you right in the middle of it.
Pros:

Fantastic location near markets, street food, zocalo, and more. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms are large and comfortable. I especially enjoyed it because it’s a boutique hotel, with a unique local charm.

Cons:

Could use more comfortable pillows.

Pros:

The location is awesome for access to the historic district and all of its attractions. The room was very clean with daily room service. It has great air conditioning and wifi.

Cons:

My main complaint was the front desk staff ignored you when coming in and leaving the hotel. They just sat there staring at their cell phones and would look up and greet you when you entered or left. This even happened when coming home late at night. They did not even look up from their cell phones to see you was entering the building. There was one girl who was friendly at the desk but not the rest. The others would only look up and speak if you spoke to them. The management should speak to them about front desk etiquette and courtesy. The bed was very firm. I am not a fan of a very firm bed. Some people prefer it.
