Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Small rooftop terrace — While the terrace is appreciated, several guests note it is compact and can get busy.
  • Limited cooking facilities — If you plan to self-cater, expect only basic facilities—no full kitchen is mentioned.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for animal companions.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:30 — If you arrive late, you must check in before 23:30, which may be a constraint for overnight bus or flight arrivals.
  • No air conditioning mentioned — Rooms rely on natural ventilation and cool breezes, which may not suit everyone in warm weather.

“The staff welcomed me warmly and provided excellent service throughout. The rooftop terrace has great views, the WiFi was strong and reliable, and the room was spotless with a modern design. The shower pressure was excellent, and free coffee and water were appreciated. Security was solid, and despite the central location, it was remarkably quiet.”

“A great stay in the heart of Oaxaca. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the main square and away from the touristy area. I felt safe exploring at night. The staff was patient and helpful despite the language barrier, assisting with translations and arranging taxis. The room was simple but comfortable.”
