A reasonable option

The location was perfect for one who wanted to be near the town square. The room was very simple. My only complaint is that the hot water (to shower) was not left on while my stay. I had to call to let them know when I’d need it turned on. The front desk also needs more welcoming and attentive employees-suggestion. Sometimes nobody was present or a stare was all we got when we would arrive for the night.

Perfect location

Love the location of the hotel across from the 2 main Markets. 20 the Noviembre Market were all the delicious food you can find at a very good price. Across is the Mercado Benito Juarez where you can find all the best Artesanias of the region. The Hotel had its charm, It’s an old, but they are working in renovations. location is perfect right in the center of Oaxaca. The ladies working there were very nice to us and answered all our questions. My only complaint was the hard bed. I book the hotel for one day and 4 days after my stay not knowing the bed was hard. I had to stay in the hotel because my stay was non-refundable, but I am happy our next room was much nicer and the bed not as hard as our first stay. I really recommend this hotel. I really love it.
