Quinta Real Oaxaca

The staff was friendly and helpful, but the whole facility was very worn and needs a remodel. Also when booking a room they really need to do a better job of describing what kind of room you are getting. I thought I was booking a top level room but the room itself was average. This I know for sure becase my business associate had a room next to mine and paid $100.00 less a night than I did. What I was paying for was bathrobes, slippers, a fruit plate etc., nice touches but those ammenities do not make me say "WOW THIS IS A GREAT ROOM/HOTEL!", to me it was a big rip off. I don't mind paying more for top level accomodations, but by judging how everything else was at this hotel I doubt that would be possible. I did have the chance to see a couple of boutique hotels near The Camino Real and they seem a better choice than what I made. Camino Real seems to be resting on it's past laurels, it has potential but management needs to step up to the plate. And don't bother with the restaurant, the food was expensive and not very good. I paid one third of the price for the same type of meal a couple of blocks away and the food quality was ten times better.

We booked and paid in advance for a club interior room (highest price room.)All very fine in public areas, but room was way too small. Only about 16 inches of room to hang clothes in closet, and room was too small to have any place to store or put out of the way our luggage. Too small to allow for reading lamps on both side of bed so one could not read in bed. The bath room was not very large and there was barely enough room for one sitting chair. It could be that the hotel charged for the highest rated room but gave us an economy room. If so,this was dishonest. The room was so small for a first class hotel I cannot recommend a couple staying at this hotel for more than one or two nights and then only with a small amount of luggage. I suggest that any guest planning on staying more than two nights reserve the right to inspect the room before paying. A minor note: The room was furnished with a coffee maker, but the hotel charged about $3.00 US for each small packet of coffee. A small matter but under scores the room disappontment.

I WENT TO DINNER AT 10 AT NIGHT AND THE CHEF HAD ALREADY GONE AND THE FOOD WAS TERRIBLE , THE RESTAURANT SERVICE PRETTY SLOW JUST ONE WAITER AT THE SAME TIME HE WAS THE BARMAN AND MAYBE THE COOK TOO, THE PLACE IS GREAT AND THE PAST TIMES I BEEN THER THE FOOD WAS GREAT FOCUS ON THAT PLEASE

the best place in teh city but a big problem if you payed by internet, and the pool was outsite of the hotel, not hot water in the pool, and regular service, not 5 stars service

the hotel was full and because of that the room service was not good!!

This is a truly special experience, staying in a converted 16th century convent. The pool area is lovely, the rooms are nice and the staff helpful.

Just an incredible place to stay that if you do plan on going to Oaxaca it is well worth the money([...] had a great deal)

It was very confortable and we ate great!!

We liked the beautiful architecture of this hotel and the location was great to walk everywhere. The pool was freezing and the bar opens late Overall though we did enjoy it!

This has to be the best hotel in Oaxaca. It is a former sixteenth century convent that has been beautifully restored and converted in a beautiful property. The rooms are spacious, but, having been nuns' cells, they have few windows and are a bit dark. However, this keeps the street noise out. If one is looking for a slick modern hotel, this is not your place, but if history and beauty are your thing, you can't miss here. Staff is exceptionally attentive. Location is great for exploring the wonderful city of Oaxaca.
