My wife and I booked this boutique hotel at the heart of Oaxaca for a 4 day vacation. We arrived kind late due to a flight delay, and we were welcomed by the staff with hospitality. We were advised on the surrounding attractions, places to eat, and events of the day. Our room has a nice view of the central area, and a lovely terrace. Breakfast crew was also warm and friendly, and we were served fresh fruits and pastries everyday. Now the hotel does show its ages with cracking walls and rusty spots. It is the central area, so parking can be spotty on the weekend. It's also a bit noisy at night, so watch out if you are a light sleeper. Overall, this wonderful hotel makes up for the lack top notch hardware with a special touch of Mexican hospitality.
