Oaxaca hotels near Zocalo Square

Pros: Beautiful place have always wanted to stay here. The room was a little small and we could not open a window. We did enjoy the pool.

Cons: I really felt that a Hotel of this quality and price should have a great restaurant and a cool bar. The food here for Oaxaca is very middle of the road. Pricey place.

Pros: Location

Cons: Noisy room

Pros: The staff was amazing. Vincente was so gracious and helpful. The property was elegant as well as historical. Breakfast was wonderful and the individual courtyards were wonderful.

Cons: There was nothing that we would change.

Pros: Beautiful hotel with so much history. Great service; professional and personable staff.

Pros: Very good location in Oaxaca and beautiful historical building!!!

Cons: They promote themselves as “gran clas” Hotel but: Politeness of staff: especially the receptionists are poor and arrogant. Eg: We were not informed about the full day huge wedding party in the main hall and the pool area which resulted in very limited access to the pool area for all other guests. Room 238 was quite nice and quite but bathroom needs complete renovation and modernization. Blanket is very heavy and not comfortable. Gym is extremely small. All in all: totally overpriced - not worth the money!

Pros: We were in room 227. It was clean and spacious but it was dark. You need to install more lights in ceiling.

Cons: Room was very dark even with window and curtains open.

Pros: Beautiful hotel. Perfect staff.

Pros: Perfectly located, beautiful grounds and pool, large clean room, attentive service- what more could you ask for? My 22 year old daughter didn't want to leave. Neither did I, will certainly return.

Cons: Nada! Great place on quiet street so close to everything

Pros: The building is stunning and the ambience was wonderfully serene. It transports you. The pool was a welcome bonus, especially on a hot day. The most delectable restaurants and sights are within walking distance. The entire town is encapsulated in time.

Cons: Our room was far too dark. The only window we had faced an outside wall, was on a corner and made the room feel sadly austere. We were celebrating our 15 year anniversary and we ended up with a two twin beds. We asked for 5 nights to be moved, but were not accommodated.

Pros: The hotel is stunning. The location is great - it feels like a slice of history. Breakfast is lovely, and the people doing the food service were lovely.

Cons: While we were traveling with two other couples, we were also there with our 6 year old son. We took a room with two queens, which turned out to be two large double beds - just slightly too small to sleep comfortably for a couple in one of the beds. But the room was big. There is a lovely pool, but the music is blaring all day long - sometimes the music is ok - sometimes it was annoying sometimes it was hard to hear. They had an event on a Friday, and the music from the event competed with the pool music. There were two events over the weekend, of which we had been unaware of when booking. On Saturday, we had to share the pool area all day with a wedding. ALL DAY! And they were blasting the music so loud from the afternoon until after 10, that it was unpleasant to sit at the pool. We specifically chose the hotel so we could take our child to the pool - and it was unfair to assume that people at the hotel should share the facilities with a wedding from mid day until bed time, especially with such unbarably loud music. The event should not be allowed to be so long, and the music was way way way too loud. Not fair for the price that we paid. I had been longing to stay in this hotel for decades - and while the physical hotel was charming, the place was run like an enormous Hilton. With the exception of the barman and the chamber maid, the service was impersonal. The atmosphere felt like staying at the airport, which is totally contradictory to the beauty of the hotel. With the exception of breakfast, I was surprised that the food wasn't better. The margaritas and guacamole tasted as though it had been stocked in the refrigerator for some time - not fresh. We ordered dinner a couple of nights at the pool which was sub par. The prices were reasonable, but food could be better! That being said, I cannot imagine staying in a more beautiful hotel - They need more attention to the comfort and wellbeing of the residents - a warmer welcome would be welcome!

Pros: A great central location, unique property, many options on the breakfast buffet, staff very helpful and friendly. They have solar hot water heating system so there are even hot showers. It can take awhile for water temp to warm up depending on what floor you’re on and a bit tricky to regulate in our room but a minor inconvenience if at all.

Cons: If you have difficulty with stairs ask for a ground level room. There are no elevators which wasn’t a problem for us but might be for some.

Pros: Well located, good breakfast

Cons: Overpriced and water pressure in shower is not strong

Pros: Central location, pretty nice breakfast, considerable rooms & bed

Cons: During our stay, there was a lot of work going on around the hotel. The noise and smells were a bit of a drag, but our room was nice and quiet at night

Pros: Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Room was extremely clean and comfortable. Location couldn’t be any better.

Cons: Wifi strength is a bit irregular. Shower has very little pressure and had to calm reception a couple of times because of lack of hot water.

Pros: Room was clean.

Cons: My room 406 had no hot water. I advised the staff 3 times with no results. Very poor lighting in bathroom. Would not stay there again

Pros: The entertainment in the evening was 3 amazing opera singers.

Cons: The rooms were covered in mold dripped from the ceiling and were unhealthy to stay in. When I pointed at the fridge that was covered in rust and leaking all over the floor, I was told that they would mop it up and if we did not plug it in then it would not happen again. The espresso machine at the coffee bar leaked so badly that the coffee was full of grounds and and very weak. The restaurants were unappealing, the steak advertised as filet mignon was a tough piece of stewing steak and the sauce on my friends pasta tasted like ketchup. In fact it was so bad after one night we left and went somewhere else even though we could not get our money back.

Pros: The location was good...... Close to Centro. Coffee, yogurt, granola and papaya were nice for breakfast.

Cons: We had NO hot water. This hotel claims to be pet-friendly on this website but we were surprised on check-in with Terri's flippant comment that dogs weren't allowed. I showed her the reservation sites which state that they allowed pets. She said the info was a mistake! I offered to leave for a refund but she permitted us to stay....As it was raining...We were grateful but cannot recommend this hotel since we couldn't even shower, the water was ice cold. I've since read that this is typical.

Pros: Beautiful in every way.

Pros: Great location, clean rooms, helpful staff and great value! We stayed here for 3 nights and it was a great place to stay and explore Oaxaca. It's very quiet and peaceful, so if that is the kind of thing you need this place is great. I would stay here again if I visited Oaxaca.

Cons: The room could have had some natural light

Pros: The location, the atmosphere, decoration, such helpful and friendly staff, good food too... I very much recommend it!!

Cons: They had a few problems with the WiFi. Had to be changing log in everyday. But other than that, it was an excellent hotel!

Pros: Good location, near the zolaco de Oaxaca Quiet hotel

Cons: No private parking Front desk people not welcoming Lack of light in the hotel, quite dark environement Do not answer our emails before our arrival

Pros: Location, friendly staff, value for money

Pros: The gardens, the included breakfast was amazing

Cons: A little bit outdated

Pros: Good location, just a short walk into town. The bed and bathroom were clean.

Cons: It’s really outdated and could do with a revamp. It’s also pretty big so the staff aren’t particularly accommodating, although the porters were lovely.

Pros: The rooms were spacious and very clean. The food was great, and a good introduction to Oaxacan cuisine. Location is also practical if you are coming or leaving with an ADO bus.

Cons: Overall a good hotel, but if you are a young solo traveller, don't expect this place to be fun. The staff is professional, not friendly. It's a business-people and family oriented hotel.

Pros: Very relaxing. Helpful staff. Great food

Pros: The bed is comfortable

Cons: The check in and out staff was rude, I called for help with TV, change towels and they never came, also the bath tub was very old and rusty, not clean, the water changed while I was in the shower cold then hot then cold again horrible experience, and i could hear my neighbors as they talk or had intercourse.

Cons: Try if possible to avoid the 2 street rooms they have if you don’t like street noise & if you like to open a window

Pros: Good for the prince, and the location was perfect, near to everything. The staff was really nice to us, we had a room without bathroom but the one outside was clean and most of the time empty.

Cons: They didn´t have a light over the mirror, I could´t make up myself indoors, had to do it outside the room-.

Pros: The bed was very comfortable, and the common space on the roof was relaxing at the end of the busy days.

Cons: Outside noise in the night

Pros: Amazing location - and a nice roof top area to relax in when you need a break from walking around. The hotel was very quiet and the staff helpful whenever we asked for anything. The room was very clean. There was fresh drinking water available in the rooms and to fill water bottles - this was lovely as it was hot when we were there.

Pros: The bed and room was very adequate.

Cons: Sadly, the hotel and the room was right next to a karaoke bar making it nearly impossible to sleep without earplugs.

Cons: It’s the first time I have been to a hotel or hostel in all parts of the world and they refused to store our luggage. We had to catch the night bus and the receptionist refused to keep our luggage saying that hotel is small and they have no space. She refused to let us talk to a manger or someone in charge and was nit helpful at all. We ended up having to go to a nearby hotel and pay them for storing our luggage. The beds are really hard and uncomfortable .

Cons: My pillow sham was dirty. They could do better when it comes to the sheets and pillow sham. When you take a shower, water splatters everywhere. They should really invest into sliding glass door.

Pros: This was a great property if you want to see the Mexican markets. Beds are very firm. Good AC and good WiFi. Have to park your vehicle several blocks away but not a bad walk.

Cons: Beds very hard.

Pros: Great service.

Cons: The beds.
