Hotels near Dainzu, Oaxaca

Independent travel Safety is the main Conditions are acceptable

The hotel is fine in that it is clean, and the AC blows cold. It's pretty straight forward in that regard, but it has no character, coffee is made from a syrup, the breakfast is merely edible, and it's situated at the extreme north end of the Colonial District. There is a decent restaurant call XOXO located just around the corner, but they're only open in the evenings from 3:00pm to 10:00pm. Still, XOXO is recommended, especially to avoid having to walk too much at night for a good meal. The restaurant can be seen looking SE from the backside of the hotel.

Everything was great. We could ask for informations before going to the hostel by calling them.

We are a group of 17 staying here. Myself in room #311 which is a spacious junior suite. Rooms are OK, except wash basin is not really suitable for a room, rather, a restaurant. Troubles came when I overheard my friend’s laundry was missing an item. Then I quickly checked my laundry and true enough, 1 item is also missing. Right that very night I rushed to the concierge and apparently as it was a shirt, they put it on a hanger, instead of folded. Room #312 trousers were mixed up with other rooms’s trousers, luckily they were from our own group. Could you imagine if your clothes got mixed up with guests who had checked out and didn’t examine the laundry like I hadn’t? Another friend’s laundry got charged over $300 pesos for only 3 pieces. After recalculating then he only needs to pay ＜$50. What happened was that the receptionist charged other groups’ bill to my friend’s! Wifi was also weak and keeps disconnecting. I had to request another wifi password because mine wasn’t working despite numerous attempts, which of course was frustrating. So despite having a spacious room with 2 desks and two chairs, don’t expect to be able to conduct some meaningful work as wifi is unreliable. We chose this hotel as it is located just outside city center so to avoid heavy traffic. But this hotel really barely operates at minimum standards.

We stayed here for 1 night while in Oaxaca. This is a new property and it's nice. The room was quiet and comfortable. The building itself is neat - they created multiple interior courtyards so that all the rooms have windows. We had breakfast at the hotel and it was nice. I used the gym - it's small but has everything that's needed. This is a nice 4 star hotel. Some of the reviews talk about how nice it is...it is nice, but this is not a 5 star hotel, so definitely set your expectations on that, especially if you're used to 5 star properties. The only issue we had was w/ the concierge desk. We'd emailed about airport transport and they wrote back right away setting that up for us. When we wrote a second time about the botanical gardens, we received no response. Then, since we assumed the gardens were closed the day we were going to be there, we wrote to ask about a tour to Monte Alban. No response. I sent a follow up email and did not receive a response. So I called. The person I spoke with on the phone told me someone would call me back. I explained they could call or simply reply to my email. No one called or wrote so I went ahead and booked a tour w/ a provider I found on Trip Advisor. Upon arrival at the airpot, our driver told us asked us about our tour for that day. It turns out the concierge desk had booked us a tour but not bothered to tell us. This was so unfortunate because 1) I'd literally followed up twice trying to get a response and 2) we had to tell the tour company we were not available, which I felt really bad about. Anyhow, sorry to write too much about that experience but it was frustrating and something that could have been avoided with slightly better communication.

A decent hotel, ten minutes walk from the old city center cathedral and botanical garden, not too far or near. There was a tour in the hotel for travel registration, and it turned out that we charged 750 pesos per person, and transferred it to a group of 500 people the next day... The windows in the room could not be opened, and it was a bit stuffy and had to turn on the air conditioner. The room environment can refer to the domestic Han court level.

So we have been traveling throughout Oaxaca for two weeks. Our last night is by far our best. This hotel is close to the airport, it clean, it’s spacious, it’s cheap and best of all its comfortable. That goes along way when you are on the road for weeks. The shower, the bed, the staff..., it’s perfect.
