We recently enjoyed a beautiful visit to Oaxaca, and we are so happy we decided to stay at this hotel. The location could not have been better, right on the pedestrianized street and close to the zocalo. We most often ended up in the area around the cathedral (the opposite end of the pedestrian street), but that was easy as well and the restaurants around there were amazing. The staff of the hotel were warm, friendly and accommodating. They helped us arrange a tour of Monte Alban and were quick to answer any questions we had.
Booking was a bit of a challenge. The hotel is small and our rooms were not adjoining, a worry for us with two young children (the adjoining rooms had been booked out), but it was all right given the hotel's size. We felt very secure and at home there. The staff graciously set out breakfast cereal for our early risers an hour or more before the normal breakfast time each day, which we appreciated. One of our rooms was right off the kitchen/balcony area, which at first I didn't like as it has no windows. After the first day, we realized the benefits of that room; with no street noise, it was great for small kids, especially for anyone with a baby or toddler who still needs a daytime nap.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a stay away from large hotels, whether families, a couple seeking a romantic stay, or an individual traveling for relaxation and culture. We will be back.
