Nice hotel! But not for light sleepers.

I really do like this hotel! The staff was always very polite & helpful. Rooms have a nice layout. Xochimilco, the neighborhood, it a great choice! A short walk to Reforma & a decent walk to Centro. Close, but out of the potential crowds. Bakeries and cafes nearby help in the early mornings as you start your day. That said, I must share that if you are a light sleeper, have ear plugs. The doors/windows are thin. There's an opening to bathrooms walls high up to outside, so.. You will hear everything. Cleaning crews, guests arriving/departing, conversations, etc. I slept with my ear buds most of the mornings I'd sleep past 6-7am. I don't want to fault the hotel for this, just a heads up. Beyond that, good spot.

The staff and property were lovely. The front desk staff were very accommodating and thoughtful. They were also forgiving of my very elementary Spanish and kindly practiced it with me. I would stay there again on my next visit to Oaxaca!

This hotel is run by great / friendly staff and is super clean and convenient to downtown Oaxaca. They message me before arrival to see if I needed anything and I was greeted warmly. Arranged a 3.30am taxi so I could get to airport on time and the security at the hotel is excellent. Definitely in my to top 5 hotels of all time.

A very clean well kept hotel. The entire staff was very kind and helpful. The only problem I recommend to be done to our room is to fix the drainage in the shower drain system. The water stays in the area and it doesn’t drain properly. Other than we highly recommended the hotel.

Recommend

Family of 5 adults. Very clean. Nice aesthetic. Love the quiet neighborhood. Good cafes and restaurants nearby and the walk into the center of town every day is one of the best parts of the experience. Helpful staff. Rooftop deck simple and nice, good place for quick coffee/pastry/eggs. There are issues with hot/cold water and sewage smells that the hotel is struggling with. Recommend with the knowledge that this is part of traveling in Mexico.

Xochimilco rocks

Location is great; close to an excellent panaderia. The regular rooms are rather small and therefore lacking in furniture but this is expected for a colonial style building. There is a restaurant on the top floor which is useful in a pinch for breakfast. We took advantage of a Monte Alban etc. tour which was very good (4 out of 5). There was someone there to man the front door at all times, so security was excellent. There was also some pan dulce for some mornings in the lobby. This location is quieter than Centro but the morning and evening rush hours are very busy in the street. Excellent place to start your walking tour of the city!
