Hotel Trebol
It’s a nice property, but expensive for what it is. Employees need to smile more and be more welcoming. Location is excellent though.

One Oaxaca Centro Hotel
Clean rooms/friendly staff/ good breakfast. Walls are very thin so you will hear everytime neighbor takes a phone call at 5am on speakerphone like mine did everyday. Not the hotels fault just terrible neighbors

Hotel Casa del Sótano
The hotel was beautiful and the pool in the room was a really nice addition. The staff were great and very friendly and helpful. The location was also great for food, bars, shops, the town etc My only couple of comments for improvement would be that the room could have done with a little more attention ...
