Family-friendly Hotels in Oaxaca

This hotel was top notch. The concierge Andrea Leon Leunig was wonderful! I was in contact with her prior to the trip to schedule a driver and when I finally met her, she was as helpful, accommodating and gracious as she was over email. The driver was even amazing because he was so charming and helpful! Their spa was fabulous. I loved it so much that I went 2 days in a row and honestly would have if I stayed longer. Haydee Cortes was absolutely phenomenal and highly recommend to make an appointment with her for any body treatments. She was extremely professional and a true master of her craft. I will recommend this hotel to friends and will for sure come back and stay there.

Perfect place! We will certainly stay here again. The room was very clean, had a beautiful view, parking was easy and always available! The front desk staff was courteous, as well as the bell men. We didn't get to try the restaurant because the location was so close to everything we just walked about 10-15 to the center or a little bit less for the real specialty places

This has to be the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed at. Not only do the staff clean your room and mop the floors every day, I witnessed them going so far as to polish the backsides of the trash cans! If you're OCD about cleanliness, this is a great choice. But there's a lot more to love about this hotel. It's right on the main tourist street, about halfway between two of the main sights (the Zocolo and the Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán / museum) and right in the middle of the best shops and restaurants. The hotel also has a courtyard that doubles as a restaurant, and the food is really good. (I'm still dreaming of the octopus entrée.) Most importantly, all of the staff are really nice people who feel like they want to be there, and we enjoyed chatting with many of them. You have to get really nitpicky to find any negatives. Parking is at a lot a block away, but that's not bad for a hotel in the middle of the historic district. Also, there's no elevator, and it's a bit of a hike if you're staying on the top floor. (They'll take care of your luggage, of course.) But unless either of those things are a deal breaker for you, staying here is an absolute no brainer. It's a real gem in Oaxaca.

The hotel has some good things to offer. The central courtyard has maintained its feeling of antiquity and is thus quite beautiful. And the few fully modernized rooms on the top floor are attractive and comfortable. But for us, the bad outweighs the good. We were a group of seven, and had reserved four rooms. The dates for one of the rooms had to be changed after we had reserved, and one of our party called to make sure that everything was in order (she speaks near-native Spanish) and she was assured that it was. When we arrived, we found that our reservation had been totally bungled. Two of us had reserved modernized rooms with a terrace; we got one of those, while the other party was put in a dark, rather dank room in the corner of the first floor. The third party landed in a room somewhere between these extremes. And the fourth room had only been reserved for one night and not the four we had booked; that person had to find another hotel. When I showed the manager our reservation numbers, he claimed that our friend who had spoken with him on the phone had made these changes and in fact *cancelled* one of the rooms. To add insult to injury, one of our party was told on the morning of our next to last day that they would have to change rooms because another party had reserved their room. They weren't happy, but they complied. When we all returned from a day's activities, it turned out that the hotel staff had asked the *wrong party* to change rooms and now wanted my wife and me to make yet another change. This is where we put our foot down. The helpfulness and friendliness of the staff is very mixed. The bartender is charming, and one of the ladies at the front desk is helpful. But, in general, the staff is neither helpful nor notably friendly--judge by the standards of most Oaxaca hotels and restaurants. If you do go, insist that you stay in one of the modernized rooms on the top floor. And get your reservation in writing! With a professional management, some needed renovation, and better staff training, this hotel might live up to its four star rating. Just for reference, we are frequent visitors to Mexico; we have been to Oaxaca for three of the last four years.
