Comfortable room, reasonable price, friendly staff, good location in a cute and colorful neighborhood. The courtyard garden with parrots and a shy dog are nice. This hotel is very popular with older foreigners / retirees so it's quiet in the evenings

Charming and friendly, a great location.

Charming and friendly but the hot water and wifi is intermittently available, and there are mosquitoes in the lobby if you try to use the weak wifi closer to the router. the location was excellnet and provided a lot of authentic encounters with locals and the mostly native visitors, who were all friendly and tried their best to help me with questions, the location felt very safe, and I encountered no adverse experience.

Oaxaca stay

The room is comfortable, but the shared bathroom was not my style. Very basic, but all I needed for a few days in Oaxaca where I didn't spend much time in my room other than sleeping. Wifi was very weak, but staff was lovely and very welcoming!

The Internet didnt really work when we were there for 3 nights and we had trouble with the shower which they helped sort out. The location is great and the place itself is really nice, especially the lovely terrace.

Terrible hotel. Shared bathroom and toilet were filthy. Bed sheets were so old and thin you could see through them. Towels didn’t look clean. Worst night ever, should have slept at airport. Night guard tried to make us pay cash for our booking even though we had proof we had paid online.

great location

The rooms are small but who stays in their room when all of Oaxaca beckons? There is a lush courtyard garden with several parrots and lots of birds. It's a cheerful place to stay. I had a room above the front door so when people arrived during the night it was noisy. Ask for a room away from the door. Showers were tricky, with water either cold or too hot. Hard to get it just right. Still, I would stay here again.

Good for economy and location, terrible services

Great location, conveniently situated within walking distance of the Zocalo and a stones throw away from the church. Very economical - given the location and season. Breakfast not included, and restrooms (especially the shared ones) are HORRIBLE - they keep backing up. And the receptionists is very unfriendly - no printouts for boarding passes, no soaps at night if there isn't one in the restroom. Lots of mosquitoes and bugs - not sure if the towels were even cleaned.

Fair warning!

Had heard very good things about this hotel, but after arriving and being ushered to a room that smelled moldy with no ventilation and no fan, we started to get concerned. Towels were ragged and should be replaced. Shared bathroom (not usually a problem) was not particularly clean and had one showering on top of a toilet. We moved to a room with private bath (at additional cost) and were accommodated, but still smelled dank. The fan rattled and was loud and the shower sprayed water all over the bathroom. Saw small cockroaches on the bathroom floor in the morning. Asked for a cup of tea, and were charged 20 pesos (usuriously high price). 2nd floor rooms seemed to be less dank, but the general worn state of accommodations. The courtyard is truly beautiful, and they put friendly parrots out during the day. The little library was also interesting and the 2nd FL deck looked fabulous and fun. Perhaps the dankness was due to the rainy season, but beware of the room conditions and poor & less than friendly service. This place keeps its front door locked, and you have to ring to get inside. At times, we had to wait a few minutes just to be let inside.

Basic accomodation

I'm surprised by the high rating that this hotel has got!!! The rooms were basic but fine for the price. The best thing about the place was the garden. It was a bit of a walk to were everything was happening in the city centre! I stayed there for 4 nights but two of these nights were very noisy. There was some sort of function happening there so there were many people in the sitting area which was very noisy. They had their own restaurant attached to the hotel and that got very noisy one night till after midnight. People working there were fine but the person working at the reception was not friendly and somewhat abrupt. The shared bathroom had dark stained tiles on the floor that hadn't been scrubbed well over the years so it didn't look clean. The management seemed to cut corners, for example, there was no soap or toilet paper in the shared bathroom, however, I was given a toilet paper roll. Once I asked for hot water to make tea and was charged 10 pesos for it! The woman at the reception explained that they used filtered water and gas so they were charging me!! However, I saw them getting me the water from their restaurant attached to their hotel!! I've been travelling for 5 months and this was the first time in any hotel that I was charged for hot water for making tea.

Charming and clean!

Beautiful, lush jungle type courtyard. Verdant terrace overlooking a church. The pictures on hotels.com really don't do this hotel justice. We spent our first three nights in Oaxaca at Hotel Nacional on Calle 20 de Noviembre because we wanted to be in a more central area, but we decided to stay in Oaxaca one more night to catch a baseball game. So, we booked Casa Arnel because it was very close to the stadium. When we checked in we both agreed we could have spent our previous nights there and been very happy. The only downside is that the entrance to the hotel is always locked, and while it was never a problem for us and there was always a guard, if you are the type of travelers to be in and out of your room all day and night I can imagine it could be a bit annoying.

Recent stay at Casa Arnel

We stayed at Casa Arnel for two weeks. Great staff. Breakfasts are enjoyable with many guests sharing a big table. I took a Spanish class 1 1/2 blocks away. My husband played tennis about 10 min. walk away.
