Great pet-friendly place to stay in the heart of Oaxaca city. Very ample and airy room, excellent garden at the center. Details as a shower was not working properly and all perks in the room being with charge, could be fixed to achieve excellence.

Our room had no place to put the suitcase. I had to put my suitcase on the floor and sorting clothers all bent over was a real pain in the back - literally. It had no place for a computer - no table or desk area. The bed was marvelous however, really comfortable. It had a refrigerator in the room - a true luxury. And the grounds and public areas were delightful.

F-a-b-u-l-o-u-s (Apartment with garden). The place is cozy, easy walking distance from the pedestrian areas that lead to the civic centre, yummy (yet light) breakfast, super friendly and helpful staff, atmospheric spots in and around the garden to relax and have breakfast, pet friendly (not just ok with pets but welcome treat, water, sleeping mat)

Great location and attentive staff. We had issues with the shower, no water coming out but the tub portion worked well. Inefficient gate access to property, someone always to use a key to let you in or out; not practical at all.

Wouldn't return
This place is terrible for the price, even with a "secret price discount." The rooms feel very run-down, sparse, and are missing a lot of essential items (ironing board, storage, even a small dish for items like keys, etc.). The bathroom is pretty ugly and there's no curtain or door on the shower. The bath towels were tough and frayed. Additionally, one of our least favorite parts about this place is that you need someone to unlock the main entrance EVERY SINGLE TIME you LEAVE. There isn't a 24-hour doorman so we had to ring a doorbell or look around for someone and awkwardly wait. They also insist on spraying you down with this antibacterial cloud spray every time you come back to the hotel. We didn't mind it at first but it started to feel useless and kind of ridiculous. To make matters worse, the staff also wasn't the friendliest. That being said, this might be a good place to stay if you are a big group because there are tons of empty, beautiful, leafy common areas and the location is amazing. But if you are a couple or want something romantic we don't recommend it.

Great stay in El Centro, Oaxaca
Overall great stay with the friendliest of staff. The rooms could use some upgrades, modifications, etc. Centrally located and walkable to almost everywhere we wanted to go. Very quiet as well, and at times felt like we were the only guests (maybe we were?). Breakfast was above average, and changed almost daily. Again the staff was the highlight of the stay, as they were very knowledge & helpful throughout (bilingual as well).
