This is a great, simple option for travelers. The room was comfortable, had TV and AC, and was clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and quick. My only wish would be to have a bedside lamp in the room - the only option was the full overhead or a super dim bulb above the bed not bright enough for anything.

Nice value and nice people.

Sweet little place with great people and quiet and safe. Was in a little more grittier part of histórico centro on the frunce but no issues. Three blocks from the zócalo. The only thing that annoyed me was they used some type of spray in the room that smelled like chemicals. I had a little cold and it irritated me so I told them no more room cleaning and it was fine. Very quiet even though right in the middle of noisy Oaxaca main road.

Shady me dio un servicio excepcional y quede muy contenta con el servicio brindado por ella. Shady fue muy atenta y definitivamente la mejor empleada de ese hotel. Definitivamente si vuelvo a Oaxaca me volvería a quedar en ese hotel, Shady hizo mi experiencia de turista muy placentera y contestó todas mis preguntas y se preocupo por mi bienestar. Muchas gracias Shady.
