I loved my stay at Las Mariposas. I arrived at the posada after a long bus ride from Mexico City to Oaxaca, and was greeted by friendly staff, a beyond-beautiful courtyard, and a clean room with a large, cozy bed - not bad for 500 pesos a night! In the morning, we were served continental breakfast and really tasty cinnamon... more

Stayed here for five nights in June, during a very hot spell. The location is great, the rooms are lovely, very clean and its a lovely setting overlooking the court yard (recommend room at the back). For 550 Pesos pn the hotel (well B&B really) was a complete bargain. There isn't any air conditioning in the rooms, although large fans... more

My 15 year old son and I stayed at Las Mariposas in Oaxaca during the Dia De Los Muertos festival in 2008. We stayed here for 5 nights and thought it was very nice for the price. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the gardens are beautiful. The rooms are spare, and lacking in character, but they are clean... more

Some friends recommended this hotel to me. Thay had not stayed there but had seen it from the street. The management was polite and the stay was fair, since I was out most of the time. IF YOU TRAVEL ALONE, SPECIFY THAT YOU DO NOT WANT ROOM 3. It has one single bed, a small table and a view of... more

My husband and I spent one night at Las Mariposas. It is a charming place. The owner is wonderful, the people there are friendly, the rooms come with free breakfast, internet, and international phone calls (although there are no phones in the rooms). This place is a nice step up from a hostel. However, it is definitely a budget hotel... more

We had a great time staying at Las Mariposas. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly gracious. They provide a simple but nice breakfast, as well as free internet. There were also daily postings about events happening in Oaxaca. I loved the location - it's a great starting place to explore all parts of the city,... more

This is a cozy posada a few blocks north of Oaxaca's fabulous zocalo. It is 1/2 block from Llanos park and 4 or 5 blocks from Alcada (the "walking" street ) at Santa Domingo. The rooms are small but adequate with good mattresses. Those on the back garden courtyard are quiet and pleasantly painted in relaxing local colors. Adequate storage... more

We just returned from 16 days at Las Mariposas, and would go again in a heartbeat. The grounds were beautiful; our room was large and comfortable, simply but attractively decorated, and well maintained. We had a studio with comfortable king size bed, refrigerator, two burner gas hot plate and everything we needed for the very little food preparation we did.... more
