Fabulous hotel in perfect location
Pros:

A fabulous historic hotel in a perfect position on the main walking street in the city. Although the building is historic, the facilities are modern and everywhere is spotlessly clean and well cared for. The a la carte breakfast offers plenty of choices and the food is of a high standard with friendly and efficient service.
Front office staff are efficient and friendly.
Rooms are large and well equipped with good wifi, bathrooms and comfortable beds.
Roof top area with bar and pool really nice.
Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Oaxaca.

Pros:

Localización perfecta, en pleno centro histórico de Oaxaca; el personal excelente; y los desayunos buenisimos. Además, en la azotea hay una alberca para refrescarse del calor de la ciudad.

Cons:

La unica pega, que la habitación no tenia ventana al exterior. No obstante, no por ello dejaba de ser lu.inosa.

This was a nice, clean, comfortable hotel with a great location and a great breakfast included.
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent. The location was excellent. The staff was polite and helpful. The hotel was clean, though ultra modern and a bit sterile. The lobby & decor could have been more colorful and contained more plants, but it was really cool how they opened the roof in the lobby every morning. The small pool on the roof was a very nice amenity and we used it a few times. We enjoyed out stay.

Cons:

I would have liked to see more Mexican color and plants in the lobby and hallways. Pictures, carvings, textiles, or other local artisan works would have made this feel more special.

Hotel muito central mas básico
Pros:

Localização fantástica, na rua principal. Pátio interior bonito e típico. Para quem valoriza uma localização conveniente, é uma boa escolha.

Cons:

Instalações básicas e algo degradadas. Exaustor da casa de banho tão barulhento que é impossível não acordar a outra pessoa durante a noite. O mesmo quanto ao ar condicionado. Pequeno almoço inclui um prato quente (ovos), um prato de fruta, um sumo, café, e um prato pequeno de pão doce/bolos para partilhar. Para quem espera um pequeno almoço diverso e substancial, não é uma boa opçao. É igualmente estranho não incluir pão simples, e a expectativa parece ser a de que duas pessoas partilhem um pan au chocolat, um pão doce, e 2/3 mini pãezinhos doces.
