Breathtaking view from the rooftop bar. Excellent service, we needed packing supplies, and the gal at the front desk was eager to help. Thank You! The bed was extremely firm, but that is just a preference. Thank you again for your hospitality

What a hidden gem in the center of Oaxaca. This is a quaint boutique hotel with spacious rooms and beautifully decorated. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with a welcoming entry way and a friendly staff. Customer service does not disappoint. This hotel exudes nothing but good vibes. I highly recommend this hotel and look forward to staying here again!

This is a lovely boutique hotel with great staff, great location, and great food and drinks! Shout out to Fani, Arturo, Jose and the gentleman with glasses who's name I cannot remember right now; they do a great job of making folx feel welcome and are very detail oriented. I appreciated the welcome cocktail; refreshing and delicious and a good introduction to mezcal. Morning breakfast is delicious; fresh fruit, coffee, and your choice of eggs or whatever Jose is creating that day. It's so nice to stroll upstairs to enjoy the beautiful view of the city, for breakfast or for afternoon happy hour with half price drinks. It's much quieter here than it is staying closer to the center of town and worth the four block walk. The beds are comfy, the whole place is spotless, and it was beautifully decorated for Dia de los Muertos by interior designer Maria del Carmen Vasquez. I wish I could post video of the ofrenda she created; even the walkway into the building was decorated with great detail; it was like walking into a dream! My trip required me to stay at two other hotels, and I would definitely stay here again over others.

Worth it- if only for the rooftop view. Amazing rooftop with spectacular view- probably the best in Oaxaca. Clean rooms and a cute breakfast- overall good value. The shower water pressure could be better and the toilet flush is very weak but i understand its a problem in the whole city...
